  2. At its core, #Trump's scheme was a private #criminal effort.In his capacity as a candidate, the defendant used deceit to target every stage of the electoral process, which through the #Constitution, #ECA, &state #laws includes states' notification to the federal govt of the selection of their #electors based on the popular #vote in the state; the meeting of those electors to cast their votes consistent w/the popular vote;& #Congress's counting of the electors' votes at #certification proceeding.

  3. #Fake #electors from 2020 💥giving thousands to Trump-Vance campaign💥

    ‘Trump and Vance are 🔥keeping extremist election-deniers in the fold 🔥to challenge the fall election,’ warns watchdog

    “It is incredibly rare for politicians to ❌accept campaign contributions from people under indictment,❌”
    said Michael Beckel, the research director at Issue One,
    an election watchdog group.

    "Political candidates generally don’t want to be tied to convicted or accused felons.

    Yet in certain circles, association with the people who served as fake electors for Donald Trump in 2020 may be a
    'badge of honor'.”

    “Former President Trump likely has #fewer #qualms about ♦️accepting campaign cash from people under indictment ♦️for serving as fake electors in 2020 than the typical politician,” he added.

    👉David Hanna, a fake elector from Georgia who was not criminally charged,
    has given at least $25,000 to Trump this year.

    In 2021 and 2023, Hanna also donated more than $6,000 combined to JD Vance’s senate campaign.

    👉Daryl Moody, another fake elector in Georgia who was not charged, donated $2,900 in 2022 to Vance.

    #Vance, Trump’s running mate, has been ♦️supportive of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election ♦️and has said that
    if he had been vice-president in 2020,
    he would have used his power overseeing the joint session of Congress to recognize fake slates of electors.

    “It doesn’t take a lot of work to figure out that ⚠️Donald Trump and JD Vance are keeping extremist election-deniers in the fold ⚠️
    as reliable henchmen and women
    🆘to challenge the results of the fall election🆘,”
    said Brandon Weathersby,
    a spokesperson for American Bridge 21st Century,
    a Super Pac that supports Democrats and initially flagged the donations to the Guardian.

    🔥“They’ve taken thousands of dollars in donations from fake electors and welcomed them with open arms to the Republican national convention last month. 🔥

    Trump and Vance are actively
    💥 selling out our democracy💥 in exchange for the power to enact their #Project2025 #agenda the day they step into the White House.”

  8. Republicans also made concerns about the election a formal part of their #platform.

    “We will implement measures to secure our elections,
    including voter ID,
    highly sophisticated paper ballots,
    proof of citizenship and same-day voting.

    We will not allow the Democrats to give voting rights to illegal aliens,” the document says.

    Republicans say they are building an army of poll watchers and observers
    to watch over the vote this year.

    They’ve also appointed #Christina #Bobb,
    a lawyer facing criminal charges in Arizona for her involvement in the #fake #electors scheme,
    to head the party’s litigation efforts.

  9. > The Republican electors who submitted votes falsely asserting that former President Trump won Arizona in 2020 have been indicted along with several Trump allies,

    > Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump's former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani were among seven other unnamed defendants

  10. Kenneth Chesebro is going to be his own chapter in the book of democracy's demise.

    No other democracy I'm aware of to date had such a deliberate sharp wedge which can be pointed to in the way Chesebro can be.

  11. Coup planned #Jan6 that lasted for days, an intervention by #SupremeCourt that they presumed to be loyal to Trump, and a vice president who upended his constitutional duties, allowing the U.S. to descend into chaos.

    The criminal defendant repeated #TheBigLie. Chesebro and Trump used #thebiglie and corrupt Republicans to have endless chaos in Congress would prove that the legislature could not certify a winner. That stalemate, they theorized, would force #scotus to act.

    Chesebro provided a legal framework in which was —to cause enough confusion & chaos that the republican #scotus would have to get involved in picking the president. His plan envisioned several gambits which have now become familiar building blocks of the legal portion of the coup & the basis for criminal charges across the country: creating slates of #fake #electors, having Pence refuse to count Biden’s electoral votes on Jan. 6, and ultimately tossing the whole issue to the #corrupt #scotus.

  12. joemygod.com/2024/02/wisconsin In a clip provided to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel by “60 Minutes,” Hitt says he was scared of what Trump supporters would do to him or his family if he did not sign the paperwork and courts later overturned President Joe Biden’s victory in Wisconsin. #politics #trump #J6 #electors #News #wisconsin

The fake #electors scheme features prominently in special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal indictment against the former president, and some of the officials who were involved have spoken to Smith’s investigators.”

  20. Ken #Chesebro claims in a new court filing that the #FakeElectors from #Georgia who claimed to be "duly elected & qualified" weren’t lying because they *had* been elected ... by the #Republican Party.

    This is a false. It runs afoul of both #federal (Electoral Count Act) & state #law. There are very specific requirements for #electors to be both “elected” & “qualified.”

  22. ‘Political germ warfare’: rightwing media fervently defend Trump

    In America’s rightwing media ecosystem it was a largely united front. News outlets repeatedly pressed the idea that Trump’s #free #speech was being criminalized: that the former president had done nothing more than talk about the election being stolen.

    The effort, perhaps deliberately, ignored prosecutors’ allegations that Trump had #convened #false slates of #electors and attempted to #block the #certification of the election on January 6.

    “Legal warfare. If this was political, this would be, like, a political war crime. This is overkill. This is political germ warfare. These are political war crimes. It’s an atrocity. It’s, like, not just dropping one atomic bomb, you drop 15 dozen.”

    Those claims were made on Fox News’s The Five show, which Jesse Watters co-hosts. By the time he got to his 8pm show, he hadn’t calmed down

    I agree with his characterization -- but he mistook the culprit

    theguardian.com/us-news/2023/a

  23. Reading the #indictment raises again for me the fury that the national #media at the time treated every one of Trump's attempts at overturning the election as a legitimate move that had to be proven wrong, instead of an outrageous attack against the American voter.

    The #electors con job in particular.

  24. Bernie Kerik Pitched Mark Meadows on ‘$5 to $8’ Million Plan To Reverse Trump 2020 Loss

    Per an email surfaced in a defamation lawsuit brought against Rudy #Giuliani, #Kerik wrote to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark #Meadows in a Dec. 28, 2020 missive that he would need “between $5 to $8M” to put a plan into action that would #pressure #state #legislators into throwing their electors behind Trump.

    It was one feature of a broader effort to co-opt state legislatures into a scheme that would have seen them try to send slates of #fake #electors to Washington on #January6.

    A “strategic communications plan” attached to Kerik’s email indicated he would need millions of dollars to work alongside Giuliani to “pressure” state lawmakers into cooperating.
