Investigators believe text pushing 'strategy' to undermine election came from Perry

Members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol believe that former Texas Governor and Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was the author of a text message sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows the day after the 2020 election pushing an "AGRESSIVE (sic) STRATEGY" for three state legislatures to ignore the will of their voters and deliver their states' electors to Donald Trump, three sources familiar with the House Committee investigation tell CNN. A spokesman for Perry told CNN that the former Energy Secretary denies being the author of the text. Multiple people who know Rick Perry confirmed to CNN that the phone number the committee has associated with that text message is Perry's number.

After Hillary won the votes and Trump supposedly won the election through electoral votes, did anyone look closely at the certification documents to make sure the real electors voted and had not been replaced (in red states) with more "cooperative" electors?

I've never forgotten the sudden surge in Trump votes late in the game. Then, for the electoral votes to win the election for Trump was too much to swallow.

They are so good at cheating, nothing would surprise me.

let someone use him as a cutout.

The Jan06 Cmte should hang him by his thumbs while they look for someone smart as the author of the strategy.
