43. one of the major differences
Mon Jun 20, 2022, 10:45 PM
Jun 2022

is that McVeigh was (practically) a lone wolf terrorist. By contrast, the issue with the fake 'electors' involves many multiples of that in terms of actors, different layers of involvement (or not, which needs to be sorted out) - and the very likely involvement of elected officials and powerful political interests. So, this case has all sorts of elements that McVeigh did not - leaving the analogy a strikingly poor one.

I'll stick with the post saying that these people (at least those directly involved as given in the OP) almost certainly WILL be arrested and tried - with the very likely result being a conviction. Sorry that it's taking longer than you wish, but ... Them's the breaks.
