Jack Bryan @jackabryan 17mI found Luttig's slow talking hard to follow. Figured others might have had the same problem so I edited the pauses out of his testimony. I think it helps.

None of the VPs he listed decided any elections.
"All the players, led by Mr. Eastman, got wrapped around the axel by the historical evidence claim by Mr. Eastman. Let me explain very simply. ... In short, if I had been advising the vice president on Jan. 6, and even if then vice president Jefferson, and even then vice president John Adams, and even then vice president Richard Nixon, had done exactly what the president of the United States wanted his vice president do to do, i would have laid my body across the road before I'd have let the vice president overturn the 2020 election on the basis of that historical precedent. But what this body needs to know and now America needs to know, is that that was the centerpiece of the plan to overturn the 2020 election it was the historical precedent in the years and with the vice presidents that I named. As Congressman Raskin understands well. The effort by Mr. Eastman was to drive the historical precedent under that single pristine sentence in the 12th Amendment to the US Constitution, taking advantage of, if you will, what many have said is the 'inartful wording' of that sentence in the 12th Amendment."
Just no!

That is why the judge made the pointed remark about Jamie Raskin knowing what he was talking about because in 2017 Raskin objected to electors from Florida when Trump won.

I really can't stand these people.
But I have asked that question a few times and you were the first to give a logical answer. Thank you.
