Revisiting the very first post in this thread, quoted above: of course Taylor was the guy Rudy wanted as ambassador to Qatar instead of a career foreign service officer.

“President Trump had nominated a career Foreign Service officer to become the U.S. ambassador to Qatar, a key post in a Middle Eastern country with tricky regional relationships, an important U.S. military installation and vast oil reserves.

Giuliani, who has said he had held a cybersecurity contract with Qatar in 2017 and early 2018, proposed replacing her with someone he said would be a better fit — Scott W. Taylor, a Trump-supporting former congressman from Virginia defeated in his reelection bid in November 2018, according to people familiar with his outreach.

Giuliani’s previously unreported attempts to shape the pick for the U.S. envoy to Qatar are part of an un­or­tho­dox foreign policy portfolio he has carved out for himself while also working as a power-broker-for-hire with direct access to the president and top administration officials.”

A special prosecutor in Virginia has said that he's presented two indictments of election fraud against someone who worked on the failed re-election campaign for former Republican congressman Scott Taylor last year.

Rep. Scott Taylor said he would fire any involved in fraud scandal in August, but the four staffers remain on his payroll.

What’s the upshot for Taylor and the Virginia GOP? He’s running to be their candidate for Senate against Mark Warner.

Political grifter Omar Navarro (R), currently making his 3rd run against Rep. Maxine Waters (D), was arrested last night for stalking, extortion, and disobeying a domestic relations restraining order. Reports say the victim is CD-12 candidate & dating coach DeAnna Lorraine (R).

“Dannenbaum, a Houston resident who served a six-year term as a University of Texas regent, admitted to a federal judge that he helped employees make illegal donations to the re-election campaigns of a candidate for the U.S. Senate and two candidates for U.S House of Representatives in a single year. He pleaded guilty to a single count of making contributions in the names of other people when he gave $10,000 to $25,000 in a single year by illegal means.”

Unsurprising since Verma worked for the state of Indiana and one of its biggest contractors at the same time.

More GOP voter fraud:

“U.S. Rep. Steve Watkins' decision to sign a Kansas voter registration form and two other election documents that asserted his residential address was a UPS Store in Topeka could constitute felony voter fraud under federal law and election perjury under state statute, officials said Tuesday.”

Of course they don’t want to chair it - the GOP Senators are all ethically challenged!
