https://www.rawstory.com/ron-johnson-false-electorwhich he calls a "nothing burger." If it is that, why investigate it, Ron?
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) promised to explain why his chief of staff had offered to deliver fake electors to then-vice president Mike Pence on January 6th, 2021.
The House Select Committee showed screenshots of text messages from Johnson's chief of staff, Sean Riley, and Pence aide David Hodgson offering to have the senator hand deliver documents signed by unlawful electors from Michigan and Wisconsin, but the vice president's staff told them not to do that.
We are piecing this together," Johnson told reporters. "Youll find out what a nothing burger this is. Its a complete non-story
Johnson said his office would release a statement Thursday, two days after the texts were revealed.

"Chief of staff Sean, where did you get these documents? Who told you to give them to Pence?"
