The 2020 election aftermath wasn’t just chaos — it was a controlled demolition of truth. In this explosive episode of The Bigger Truth, I sat down with Josh Merritt (aka “Spider”), former member of Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG), and one of the few tech-savvy insiders with a front-row seat to the Flynn network’s disinformation machine.
Merritt has kept quiet publicly — until now. What he shared confirmed much of what we’ve been uncovering here for months: that trusted voices in the election integrity movement were actively undermining real evidence, sabotaging good people, and flooding the system with disinfo designed to self-destruct.
Merritt names names. He details how fake data, false narratives, and misdirection played a central role in preventing any legitimate legal challenge from ever succeeding. You’ll want to hear it straight from him.
🔥 Key Revelations in This Episode
Cyber Symposium Was a Setup:
Merritt revealed that Lindell’s 2021 Cyber Symposium, which promised $5 million to anyone who could disprove Lindell’s “PCAP” data, was built on fabricated evidence. “That data wasn’t real,” Merritt said. “I was on the red team. It was a setup.”Fake Data Designed to Fail:
He said the fabricated data provided to Lindell and others was “meant to discredit any legitimate investigations” and was pushed knowingly by those claiming to fight election fraud.Flynn & Penrose’s Influence:
Merritt confirmed that Jim Penrose, whom he called “Flynn’s guy,” was deeply involved in crafting and pushing bad evidence. Merritt strongly suspects - as I have - that this was part of a coordinated op.Did Conan Hayes Delete the Logs?
I raised the bombshell question of whether Conan Hayes — not Tina Peters — may have deleted the Mesa County Dominion log files before the second image capture. “He had access,” Merritt said, and questioned why no investigation was ever done on him.Concerns About Katherine Friess and Tore Maras:
Merritt described Katherine Friess as having high-level access and wielding influence behind the scenes, and suggested further scrutiny is needed of players like Tore Maras, who Patrick Byrne first brought into ASOG’s fold in 2018.Was the Goal to Poison the Well?
Merritt believes Lindell, Byrne, and others may have been manipulated — or complicit — in pushing false evidence “to make sure that no credible case would ever make it to court.”
This interview is a bombshell for anyone still trying to make sense of what went wrong after the 2020 election — and why every effort to expose the truth has seemed to implode from the inside. Josh Merritt was there. He saw it. And now he’s talking.
