Dominion Sidesteps On Fox

A spokesman for Dominion Voting Systems appeared on Fox News today to repeat, pretty much verbatim, the claims Dominion has made on its website about its role in the election. The spokesman on Fox, Michael Steel, is identified as a principal with Hamilton Place Strategies. Hamilton Place's website says, "We understand complex topics, explain issues to target audiences, and persuade critical stakeholders." In other words, it's a PR firm. I'd suggest Dominion needs a crisis management firm instead, but that's just me.

What's interesting here is that Dominion's own executives backed out of testifying at a Pennsylvania House hearing on Friday, but today, they've delegated to a PR flack to make statements that we may reasonably assume Dominion's attorneys advised its executives not to make, as they could either be taken as admissions against interest or statements that could be used to challenge them on cross-examination. I suspect as well that Dominion was nevertheless under pressure to say more in response to the continuing controlversy, and the clearly scripted exchange witn the Fox talking head implies that the controversy isn't going away.

Maria Bartiromo had a good list of questions that ought to be asked of Dominion on her show this morning:

Thee are questions Michael Steel isn't qualified to answer and will at some point need to be posed with Dominion. All Steel did was dismiss legitimate questions like these as "conspiracy theories". It sounds as if Bartiromo is talking with some serious people, and these questins aren't going to go away.
