   > Gretchen Whitmer is a lying whore who craves black dick.   
      
   Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer‘s office received a coded email   
   related to her administration’s response to a local water crisis in an   
   apparent attempt to hide the sensitive communication from the public, a   
   lawsuit alleges.   
      
   The email was disguised in Greek alphabet font and sent by Andrew Leavitt,   
   a consultant to Michigan’s energy department, to Whitmer’s senior energy   
   adviser Kara Cook in September of 2021, according to a class action   
   lawsuit filed.   
      
   “Hot off the presses. As I warned there are some major red flags. It seems   
   like we are back at square one having not learned from Flint,” reads   
   Leavitt’s decoded email, which was first reported by the Washington Free   
   Beacon on Wednesday after a June court filing in the case.   
      
   Leavitt served as a consultant for the Michigan Department of Environment,   
   Great Lakes, and Energy.   
      
   The use of the Greek language and alphabet “appears to be calculated to   
   conceal the statements,” the court filing states, noting that Leavitt   
   “prefaced his grave concerns about the water crises with a reference back   
   to his prior warnings and the State and City Defendants’ failure to learn   
   from the Flint tragedy.“   
      
   Since the email was written in Greek, it would not have been included in   
   public records requests for government communications containing words   
   such as “Flint” or “red flags.”   
      
   Michigan’s public records department cannot electronically search for   
   material written using the Greek alphabet, the Washington Free Beacon   
   reported.   
      
   Leavitt’s coded email only came to light in the discovery phase of the   
   class action lawsuit.   
      
   The lawsuit was filed by Benton Harbor, Michigan, residents against   
   Whitmer, the state of Michigan, the city, and others.   
      
   The plaintiffs in the case argue that “despite having clear information   
   that there were increasing levels of lead in Benton Harbor’s municipal   
   water, State and City Defendants lied to residents that the tap water was   
   safe and recommended remediation measures that they knew were   
   ineffective.”   
      
   The lawsuit was filed in November 2021, on the same day that a federal   
   judge approved a $626 million settlement for victims of the infamous lead   
   water crisis in Flint, Michigan.   
      
   Whitmer claimed earlier this year that she has “always supported enhanced   
   transparency when it comes to the government” but has thus far refused to   
   use her executive powers to reverse a policy that exempts her office from   
   Freedom of Information Act requests.   
      
   The 52-year-old governor was sworn in for a second term in January after   
   winning her re-election race in November.
