This is what we know about the fake electors scheme. It was a major part of the Green Bay sweep, coup. We know is was Eastmans idea.
Navarro admitted to it on national TV. Oops!
Boris , one of Trump crooked lawyers, admitted on national TV Rudy was in charge of the scheme. There is a lot to work with right there.
They must be investigating all of the fake electors in certain states. Some who signed their names to a document that said they were the real electors. DUH!
The fake electors investigations could and should lead right to Trumps inner circle and the attempted coup. Bring on the indictments.

Going after the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers most likely leads to Stone and Flynn and others who will never flip on Trump.
How long ago was it that the Michigan AG sent the criminal referral to DOJ?
DOJ had to know about the fake electors a year and a half ago because the national Archives rejected the fake elector documents, finally the National Archives had to also send a criminal referral to DOJ.
Why does it seem that DOJ needs referrals before it acts on coup plotters?

(53,735 posts)collection of some of the dumbest people in politics. Why would a person with any critical thinking skills at all agree to sign fake electoral college documents that will become history, go to the Library of Congress and of course closely scrutinized by all.
I mean who would be stupid enough to commit a crime by signing that?
And who would put Rudy in charge of anything after the many debacles he had been involved in screwing up, including the farcical "Four Seasons Landscaping" disaster?

(21,234 posts)People better check out what each state's elector laws actually states. It's been a while since I looked it up but there are outs for some states to not accept electors from the candidate who won the election. This is why the House was working to safeguard the law, without the votes in the Senate what's the use?

(53,735 posts)where the criminal repugs were trying to submit "altenate" ones had already been certified and sealed by official authorities.
There was no way other ones could be substituted in without the whole political apparatus of each state moving to block such a move and howl like hell to the feds, media and anyone else who would listen.
And Rudy being in charge is always the first giveaway that illegal, criminal shenanigans were going on.

(9,958 posts)She asked them to create their own slate of electors against the votes of Arizona voters. She did not riot, but she was certainly aiding insurrection and knew that as the wife of a Supreme Court justice, her voice would carry weight ti such a demand.
