She Won, Part II: Seven Judges. Direct-to-Cell Satellites. A Hijacked Election.

How the Federalist Society’s judicial pipeline and a new network of 265 low-Earth orbit DTC satellites cleared the runway for Trump’s return to power.

That’s One Expensive Bird, Mr. Musk

There’s no question Elon Musk is a headline-maker—but in April 2022, he was making headlines for a very specific reason. One that should have raised eyebrows for anyone paying attention. Seemingly out of nowhere, Musk made an unsolicited offer to purchase Twitter for $44 billion—$20 billion over its market value.

Most dismissed it as just another billionaire flex—but the timing told a different story: his bid came just 49 days after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. That was the first red flag. What followed wasn’t a red wave—it was a red carpet.

Over the next two years, a path was cleared, systems were compromised, and Trump was repositioned—not through public mandate, but through a strategic judicial firewall crafted by a powerful faction within the Federalist Society and reinforced by a coordinated campaign of technological manipulation.

We’ve already broken down the digital and satellite infrastructure. Now, we’re stepping inside the courtrooms—and following the judges—who strategically removed all accountability hurdles between Trump and the White House.

The Nuclear Option: Judicial Engineering by Design

The term “nuclear option” sounds dramatic, but what unfolded was exactly that: a procedural detonation that reshaped the U.S. judiciary—and cleared the runway for Donald Trump’s legal invincibility. In 2017, Mitch McConnell pulled the nuclear trigger for Supreme Court confirmations. Facing a filibuster on Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch, McConnell changed the rules to force him through with just 51 votes.

What followed was a full-on Federalist Society takeover of the federal judiciary:

• 3 Supreme Court justices: Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett
• Over 200 lower court judges, all fast-tracked under the new simple-majority rules

Let’s just say: McConnell caught the car—which turned out to be a MAGA bus barreling straight toward the Constitution. And no, his idol Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be pleased—at this trajectory, our children will soon be learning Russian.

Your Seat Awaits, Judge Cannon

Just seven days after Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, the Senate rammed through Judge Aileen Cannon—a Federalist Society loyalist—to the federal bench, again via the nuclear option. The seat? It would later oversee Trump’s classified documents case.

Think about that. Before he even walked out of the White House with stolen materials and a failed insurrection attempt, Donald Trump had already secured the judge who would protect him. He wasn't just breaking the law—he was fortifying his legal escape route in advance, with an assist from Senate Republicans.

By mid-2022, Judge Cannon was the only active judge in Florida’s Fort Pierce division. Trump’s legal team took full advantage, filing his case in person—in violation of standard protocol—which all but guaranteed it would land on her desk. That week, Cannon was assigned 9 of 29 new cases—over 30%, nearly triple the norm. Despite calls for recusal, she refused. She stayed. And she stalled.

Five States, Five Illegal Breaches

Trump’s allies—under the guise of investigating voter fraud—illegally breached election equipment in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Colorado. What should have been a five-alarm fire in American democracy was instead buried beneath strategic delays, bureaucratic filings, and a crowded judicial calendar.
Eighty-eight felonies, so little time.

• In Fulton County, Pennsylvania, machines were taken out of secure facilities and transported to offsite locations for unauthorized “inspections.”

• In Mesa County, Colorado, election clerk Tina Peters disabled surveillance and granted full access to operatives who compromised the system for months. She was later sentenced to nine years in prison.

• In Michigan, attorneys connected to Trump physically removed tabulators and took them to hotels and Airbnbs for off-site analysis—resulting in felony charges.

These weren’t one-off breaches—they were part of a coordinated, multi-state campaign with access lasting weeks or even months, in some cases extending through the 2021 election cycle.

Judicial Gymnastics in Georgia

Smile! We could ask Governor Kemp how his poll workers got the backdoor codes to the voting equipment for their t-shirts—but we already know the answer. In early January 2021, lawyers aligned with Sidney Powell—accompanied by fake “electors”—gained illegal access to the Coffee County elections office, where they copied data from Dominion voting machines and servers. Although the equipment itself wasn’t removed, the top-secret software was later transferred to off-site locations, including hotels. That’s when Fulton County DA Fani Willis stepped in, filing charges on behalf of the people.

In 2023, DA Fani Willis’s case against Trump was gaining traction—until January 2024, when Trump co-defendant Michael Roman filed a motion claiming Willis had a conflict of interest. The issue? She had a romantic relationship with a fellow prosecutor on the case.

That’s right: two people on the same side of the courtroom, working toward the same legal objective, were... dating. Pardon me while I dig for my pearls.

There was no evidence of case compromise, no mishandled materials, no ethical breach impacting the charges—just the appearance of impropriety, according to Trump's attorneys. Rich, coming from a man convicted of falsifying records to cover up hush money payments to a lady of the evening. Apparently, what really undermines democracy are lunch tabs and the thread count at the Napa DoubleTree.

The case survived the initial challenge but was quickly appealed. That’s when Federalist Society-member Judge Elizabeth Gobeil stepped in at the Georgia Court of Appeals and delivered exactly what Trump needed: a ruling that DA Willis’s personal relationship—and her decision to occasionally cover meals or travel expenses—was reason enough to disqualify her—and her entire office—from the case.

Had this case not been thrown into legal purgatory, the entire country would know that in 2020 and 2021, Trump’s associates used the ‘Big Lie’ to illegally breach voting equipment in five states. He’d be living the life he deserves—three hots and a cot—and we’d be sipping mimosas on patios instead of marching in the streets for No Kings Day protests.

All ‘Heil’ King Trump

Then came the big one.

Not that it was a surprise—after stalling the ruling until the absolute last minute on their calendar, in the summer of 2024, Trump was gifted immunity by a 6–3 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court. Five of the six justices in the majority were Federalist Society members.

The Court didn’t just look the other way—it rewrote the Constitution from the bench. They call it “Leo’s Court” for a reason. Leonard Leo and Mitch McConnell’s 2017 judicial takeover was reshaping the republic—one ruling at a time.

Shortly thereafter, on an opinion gone rogue—complete with a love note and a wink from her SCOTUS daddy Clarence Thomas—Judge Aileen Cannon, after months of stalling the documents case, tossed it altogether. Because naturally, stealing classified documents from the National Archives, lying about having them, then refusing to return them—until the FBI had to raid your house—is an official duty for a president, right?

Seven judges—all Federalist Society members—systematically dismantled every legal obstacle between Donald Trump and the Oval Office. They didn’t rule on cases; they eliminated them. They didn’t just set the table—they handed him the crown.

“Lasers From Space”

Let’s not forget what we covered in Part One.

• In 2021, Leonard Leo sold Tripp Lite—a company responsible for powering over 70% of U.S. voting equipment—to Eaton Corporation.
• Eaton Corporation was already partnered with Peter Thiel and Palantir.
• By September 2024, Eaton announced a new partnership with Elon Musk, just weeks before the election.

Buried in that partnership agreement was this line:
“Exploring integration with Starlink's emerging low-orbit DTC infrastructure for secure operational continuity.”

What does that mean in plain English?
Election infrastructure and Musk’s newly launched low-Earth orbit DTC satellites were on a collision course—and no one was regulating the outcome. This technology wipes out the “air-gapped” defense altogether—because with Eaton in the picture, these systems can bypass it entirely.

Brass Tacks

Give it to us straight, Mr. Bean—a clean sweep in all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue. Ronald Reagan would like a word. Every supposed victory landed just under the threshold to trigger an automatic recount. And statistically absurd data that left Dr. Walter Mebane and the Election Truth Alliance statisticians scratching their heads and burning the midnight oil.

They blew it out—think Revenge of the Nerds: Villains Version. Almost like a pack of young hackers threw out the Ric Flair “WOOOO” and slammed the Go Big or Go Home button.

From the courtroom to orbit, this wasn’t a campaign—it was a coordinated operation that fused judicial engineering, backdoor breaches, hardware infiltration, and satellite deployment. The outcome? Data so manipulated, it makes the Russian tail look like a nub.

And the part no one seems willing to confront is the through line—from the front-end stacking of courts, to the sale of Tripp Lite to a company already partnered with Palantir, to their subsequent handshake with Elon Musk just weeks before the election.

Now, I’m not a state attorney general—but if I were, I’d be inviting folks down to the office for a cuppa joe and a conversation under oath. Because what we’re looking at is, quite clearly, a four-year coordinated strategy to return Donald Trump to the Oval Office—whether he won the 2024 election or not.
