Several #states also investigated the #FakeElectors conspiracy, with some filing charges although #criminal charges in at least one state were dismissed.
Trump's pardons include 77 people but could include others not named, the document said. Presidential #pardons only apply to federal charges, & do not apply to state cases.
The list includes #ChristinaBobb, #JohnEastman, #BorisEpshteyn, among others. The pardon does not apply to #Trump, acc/to the document [why would it? He’s above the #law].

Among those who were indicted were White House chief of staff #MarkMeadows, attorneys #RudyGiuliani, #JohnEastman & #ChristinaBobb, top campaign adviser #BorisEpshteyn & former campaign aide #MikeRoman. The grand jury accused them of unsuccessfully trying to award the state’s electoral votes to #Trump instead of #Biden even though Biden won the popular vote there.

#BorisEpshteyn earned #Trump’s trust by overseeing his legal team after Trump left office & is regularly at the White House, admin ofcls said.
Some of the #LawFirms privately worried about negotiating with a lawyer who wasn’t employed by the govt & didn’t have a govt email address, some of the lawyers said. But they decided talking w/Epshteyn was their best path to avoid a govt investigation or executive order, the people said, after determining he had serious sway w/Trump.

On Fri alone, 5 #LawFirms including Latham & Watkins and Kirkland & Ellis entered into such deals worth some $600M in pro bono work….
#BorisEpshteyn has NEVER tried a criminal or civil case & carries a white business card that reads, “Boris Epshteyn, Esq.” that lists his Gmail account & a cellphone number. He calls a steakhouse in DC where he hosts meetings every week his unofficial office. His face is caricatured on the wall & the restaurant even stores a portable phone charger for him.

I think this was about Boris Epshteyn, in the Washington Post. But everybody does it, don't they?"The scathing review [#consulting fees] of #BorisEpshteyn, a top lawyer ... in the transition, was prepared by [Prez] attorneys in recent days, according to two people familiar with the report.
"The existence of the review itself was first reported by CNN. Some ... first reported by Just the News, a conservative website," -

It would allow him to quickly install #loyalists in major positions w/o subjecting them to the risk of long-running & *intrusive* [extremely necessary] #FBI #BackgroundChecks, potentially increasing the risks of people w/problematic histories or ties to other nations being given influential White House roles. Such checks hung up clearances for a number of aides during #Trump’s presidency, including Trump’s son-in-law #JaredKushner & #BorisEpshteyn.

Advisers Propose That #Trump Give #SecurityClearances Without #FBI Vetting
A memo circulating among at least half a dozen advisers to Trump recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional #BackgroundChecks by #law enforcement & immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees giving them access to #classified secrets.
The proposal is being promoted by a group including #BorisEpshteyn.

“Boris does two things,” said Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer who once represented #Trump but departed largely because of clashes w/ #BorisEpshteyn. “He coordinates the legal teams & he acts as an emotional support animal to *the president*. He’s Mr. Good News. He loves telling the president what he wants to hear. And he does that in a way so that he can maintain control over the legal teams — to the president’s detriment, in my opinion.”

But in #Arizona, #BorisEpshteyn is getting a featured role. His #indictment there stems from work he did behind the scenes to try to keep #Trump in power after his #2020election loss. Shepherding a small group of advisers, he helped oversee a plan to deploy #FakeElectors in 7 battleground states lost by Trump, documents show.

#BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in Trump-related indictments, court records show. Election cases in #Georgia & #Wisconsin identify him as “Individual 3” & “Individual A.” In one federal case pending against #Trump, he appears as “Person 5.” In another, his email traffic matches that of “Co-conspirator 6.”

#Blanche may be suggesting that when #Trump referred to "cash" in that recording, he could have been referencing any number of payments.
(But the recording specifically
said “our friend David” meaning #Pecker)Trump aides #BorisEpshteyn & #KarolineLeavitt smile at this line of questioning w/ #MichaelCohen (maybe it was their idea)

Word has gone out to #Trump allies over the past few days that Trump wants to see a bigger show of support inside the courtroom. Trump's entourage is big enough today that they’re having trouble arranging themselves in the 2 rows of seats set aside for supporters of the defense's side.
Trump walks into the courtroom, trailed by #DougBurgum, #VivekRamaswamy, Eric & #LaraTrump, #BorisEpshteyn, & #AlinaHabba.

Justice Juan #Merchan is on the bench & announces a scheduling clarification, saying that another hearing to determine whether Trump violated his #GagOrder will be held next Thurs morning. We are still waiting for the outcome of Tuesday’s hearing on the gag order, in which prosecutors asked that Trump be held in #contempt & fined at least $10k.

#BorisEpshteyn, Trump's #illegal adviser who was indicted yesterday in #Arizona, is here.
#Epshteyn is *aggressively* using his cell phone, which is #barred in #court. #CourtOfficers who patrol #journalists & others from doing the same aren’t enforcing the restriction on him.

With all this talk of # 6 & #BorisEpshteyn, I hope #Sinclair is getting investigated. They purposely brought #Trump's propaganda's agent into the homes of millions of people via their local news. It wasn't about news. It was about spreading propaganda #USPol
Epshteyn started laying the framework of stolen elections in 2016 by claiming Obama won North Carolina due to illegal voting in 2008
Sinclair knows what they are. Did they take part? If so, divest Sinclair
