All of those indicted by Fulton County DA Fani Willis are loathsome people. But some stick out more than others, one of those for me is Cathy Latham of Coffee County. She’s the person who lead the break in to the Dominion Voting Machines at the board of elections. The Daily Beast did an interview with Latham before she got indicted, and according to the reporter, she lied her ass off to them and the grand jury. And the Daily Beast’s interview has Latham as her Georgia Cracker best admitting that she thinks voting is too EASY in GA and she wanted to make it harder for people to vote.
The arrogance of a white queen bee in a rural county in GA.
The quote I have is from Latham’s trip to D.C. where she just happened to spend time at the same hotel where they had that infamous meeting to steal the election:
But the highlight of her trip seemed to be the Trump International Hotel—“so cool,” she said—where she sat on the sofas having drinks with friends and ran into Sidney Powell and disgraced Army Gen. Mike Flynn, both of whom later came under the Fulton DA’s scrutiny and became targets of her Trump coup investigation.
“We got yelled at because we kept leaving our masks off,” she recalled.
By Latham’s telling, it was pure happenstance akin to a celebrity sighting in her political circles. And she claimed that it was the only time she ever crossed paths with Powell, despite the fact that she was technically Latham’s lawyer in federal court. By the time they met at the Trump hotel, they were one month into one of Powell’s self-described “Kraken” lawsuits trying to overturn the 2020 election results. And in this case, Latham’s status as a Georgia resident was used to give Powell standing to sue in that district—not that it helped anyway, as they eventually gave up and dismissed their own case the day President Joe Biden was sworn in.
Latham’s willingness to take part in that lawsuit was no surprise. At the time, Latham said, she was still incredibly frustrated with Georgia’s handling of the election and the way it improved access to the polls during the pandemic by stretching out early voting and installing more ballot drop boxes across the state.
“I want to make it as hard as possible. I had family members who died for the right to vote,” she said while petting her dog.
Thanks for showing your true color. And yes, this infuriated me greatly. And I don’t give a shit about her dead family relatives. Since when do people die to PREVENT others from voting?? Last time was the Civil War, which is probably where Latham’s attitudes lie.
As for the rest of the article, I recommend you go read it for yourselves. It goes into just some of the lies that Latham told the reporter and the grand jury. It’s also why she has been charged with perjury.
By the way, at the time of the interview, she was the least bit sorry about what she did.
