Earlier today Politico published a draft executive order that was obtained by the Jan 6th Select Committee. The order would have authorized the Secretary of Defense to seize voting machines, federalize National Guard support, and appoint a special counsel that would oversee the entire operation.

When I read the Politico article and the draft EO, I was immediately reminded of a document I discovered a couple months ago that was posted to Sidney Powell’s website as early as 12/29/2020.

Per archive.org, the 22 page draft was originally published by Powell to Scribed as early as 12/28/20, and had at least 4k views by that date.

The document, a 22 page memo titled “SUMMARY FOREIGN INTERFERENCE DRAFT 12.22.2020”, sets out to justify government action authorized by Executive Order 13848. In service of this, the document provides a high level overview of much of the supposed evidence of widescale voter fraud and foreign interference that had been collected by Powell and her team after the 2020 election.

After noticing the similarities between the draft executive order and the memo, I took a closer look at both documents side-by-side. I immediately noticed a sentence that was a 100% match across both documents:

On the left is the 22 page draft memo of evidence of foreign interference that’s hosted on Powell’s website. On the right is the draft executive order that Politico published. They both have the same sentence regarding Dominion and HSBC

I decided to fully compare both documents using CopyLeaks - a service intended to identify plagiarism. They have a tool that will compare textual matches across two source documents, so I uploaded both the draft EO and the memo I found on Powell’s website.

The results? 67.2% of the draft executive order matched the 22 page foreign interference memo.

One of the key indications that both the executive order and 22 page memo share an author is the mention of two National Security Presidential Memoranda, the existence of which had been previously classified.

The first paragraph across both documents closely matches.

As does much of the evidence cited by the draft order.

In cases where the match is not 1:1, it’s due to minor tweaks in wording.

Both documents include statements made by Judge Amy Totenberg regarding Dominion Voting Systems

Finally, the kicker - in my opinion - that points to Powell as the origin for this draft executive order is that the bullet point discussing the appointment of a special counsel refers to “her duties”
