Original airdate 11-29-2023. On today's 'BradCast':  The Georgia Bureau of Investigation finally released its long-awaited criminal investigation report into Team Trump's effort to unlawfully breach, copy, and distribute Georgia's statewide voting system software in Coffee County on January 7, 2021.  But as journalist ANNA BOWER of Lawfare explains, the 400-page investigative report contains almost no new information, and inexplicably omits major evidence relevant to the criminal investigation. Bowers reports that Georgia's Republican Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger has taken virtually no action to address the unprecedented security breach, which threatens the legitimacy of the 2024 Presidential election in the critical battleground state, and has declined to apply security patches as urgently recommended by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.  Bowers details the stunning, significant, publicly-known information the state agency omitted, its failure to interview key Team Trump players directly involved in the plot to breach and distribute the voting system software, and why all of this is critically important to the 2024 election in the state and the nation.
