    Mark Lamb: Skeevy Sherrif in Arizona dist 05 Nominated to Congress (ewe)

    Mark Lamb spent eight years as sheriff of Pinal County selling himself as the gun-toting, God-fearing lawman District Five could trust. Now he's the Republican nominee for Congress there, Trump endorsement in hand, and Moss spends this episode walking through why that trust was misplaced. The frame is simple: this is a man whose relationship to the law changes depending on who's exposed by it. The specifics come from Arizona Republic reporting on screenshots and messages tied to Lamb's phone and campaign accounts, spanning years before and during his time as sheriff. When he was the one sending explicit photos, he called it "excessively flirty" and laughed it off. When a woman he'd sent them to started forwarding them, the tone flipped: he cited Arizona's revenge-porn statute, called it a felony, and told her he'd call the state troopers if she kept posting. Moss's read is blunt: the badge became a personal shield the moment it stopped serving him as a public trust. A friend of Lamb's went on record confirming the conduct; Lamb's own response to the allegations was a flat denial without addressing specifics, and blaming his primary opponent for surfacing them. Moss is careful about where the episode lands: this isn't about the woman, who isn't cast as victim or villain, and the sexting itself isn't the crime. The actual harm, as the episode frames it, is a base of voters, largely LDS, who took "law and order" at face value and got a man who enforces the law selectively, on himself. Moss's argument that this connects to broader "constitutional sheriff" politics and Lamb's refusal to enforce COVID orders is offered explicitly as her own read on the pattern, not a settled fact, and she says so. Receipts: MARK LAMB, former Pinal County Sheriff now running for Congress in AZ-05 under the MAGA / 'family man' banner, per KVOA and Arizona Mirror ARIZONA REPUBLIC investigation, reviewed digital evidence, screenshots of explicit chats, sexual messages and nude photos allegedly sent from Lamb's phone and social accounts before and during his eight-year tenure as sheriff THE TROOPER THREAT, per the Republic's reporting via Arizona Mirror, Lamb allegedly threatened a woman that he'd send state troopers after her if she shared nude photos he'd sent (the load-bearing receipt; the rest is their reporting, flagged shaky) THE DENIALS, per Tucson.com, Lamb has publicly denied sexual impropriety, did not respond to a detailed list of allegations, and his campaign said he 'is not available for comment' https://bytethispod.com/episodes/the-sheriff-who-sexted-with-a-badge https://bytethispod.com/blog/the-sheriff-who-sexted-with-a-badge https://bytethispod.com

    DHS Threatens Prison for Election Workers DOING THEIR JOBS

    DHS lies? Really.... This episode is about a number that kept shrinking every time someone asked to see it. Trump went on primetime in July and said DHS had found 250,000 non-citizens voting across four states. Moss walks through what happened next: DHS had no evidence for that, narrowed it to 16,000 in Nevada, admitted 16,000 was only a ceiling guess, handed over 185 names it would vouch for, then refused to give Nevada the data behind even those 185, offering bare voter ID numbers instead of names, birthdates, or match records. Moss names the people running this: Heather Honey, the point person with a history of election falsehoods, who calls herself an open book while keeping the book closed; Nicholas Bartell at USCIS, who added 40 staff to comb voter rolls and came back empty-handed; and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who promised "maximum pressure" and threatened local election officials with fines and prison, while DHS quietly told Nevada it had made zero criminal referrals against those officials. The threat is the tell. An agency that had the evidence would not need to threaten jail to get people to act on it. Nevada gets real credit for refusing to purge a single voter without verifiable data. One piece of the reporting is flagged as shakier than the rest: an anonymous Pennsylvania official's quote, consistent with everything else but not itself a receipt. The people at risk here are not Mullin or Honey. They are ordinary citizens who could be flagged and disenfranchised by a number DHS never proved. Receipts: - Mark Wlaschin, Nevada deputy secretary of state for elections, on the DHS call: the state will not "inadvertently accuse a U.S. citizen." - DHS Secretary Mullin, July: "maximum pressure," with fines, penalties, and "even... prison time" for local officials. - DHS, on the recorded Nevada call: refused the names, birthdates, and match data behind the 185 flagged voters. - A Pennsylvania official to NPR: "DHS did not have confidence that the numbers they have stated publicly were accurate." - NPR, Aug. 25, 2026, "DHS acknowledges the noncitizen numbers it touted on voter rolls were inflated": npr.org/2026/08/25/nx-s1-5940807/noncitizen-voters-trump-nevada-call - The New York Times, Aug. 20, 2026, first report of the Nevada call. - NPR, July 31, 2026, "Trump's claims of 250,000 non-U.S. citizens on voter rolls leave some states baffled." - NPR, July 16, 2026, "In primetime speech, Trump doesn't provide evidence for illegal voting." - ABC News, July 18, 2026, Mullin threatens to withhold aid from states that don't comply. - UPI, July 17, 2026, DHS threatens state officials with prison time. - Secretary Mullin's post announcing the 16,000 Nevada figure: x.com/SecMullinDHS Episode: https://bytethispod.com/episodes/dhs-lies-for-orange-not-king Blog post: https://bytethispod.com/blog/dhs-lies-for-orange-not-king https://bytethispod.com
