Even I say "Too cinematic to be true." But media runs it.

For AZ Senate race,

Citing a 10-minute recording it had obtained and authenticated, London’s Daily Mail said Jeff DeWit told Lake, “There are very powerful people who want to keep you out.”

“So the ask I got today from back east was: ‘Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?’” DeWit asked Lake.

Lake answered NO. Said she's not globalist, can't be bought, her political career "is not about money, it's about our country".

Slight Trump connection:

DeWit was the chief operating officer for Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns [in AZ] and was the chief financial officer of NASA in the Trump administration. He took over the Arizona GOP in January 2023.

Slight because details show DeWit has no pull with Trump, DeWit just another Establishment snake:

In the early going of the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Arizona, DeWit chaired the campaign for Jim Lamon... [who] aggressively sought Trump’s endorsement...[but] The Trump endorsement in 2022 went to Blake Masters...[and] Last year Lamon was identified as the sole backer of a political action committee supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that aired several anti-Trump ads.

Here is recording:

Now here, to me, is most shock part. DeWit says:

They said the cartels are operating in 50 states right now. Like all 50.

In context, "They" is DeWit's same "powerful people back East" who want Kari Lake bribed on sidelines. And "cartels" means drug cartels. And "operating" means, operate in politics.

So in context, DeWit expressed belief or knowledge of "powerful people" that drug cartels operate in USA politics in all 50 states.

Again: I thought it. But, too creepy to see someone who knows, say it out loud.

DeWit asks Lake to keep whole conversation silent "it never happened"........ Lake makes no promises...... Lake half-jokes, half-predicts that eventually she will be murdered.
