Wow!!
six Nevada GOP members signed electoral college certificates falsely stating that Trump won Nevada in 2020 and sent them to Congress and the National Archives

They should be expelled from office, and charged >

But Garland is afraid to look political! 😟 >

Says who? Not Garland if you read his actual words >

Says Garland, if you look at his actual actions. >

Such as? >

“The DOJ speaks through it’s filings”. 2 years after Jan 6 and nobody has even been indicted, much less actually brought to trial. 
Hell, even subpoenas have only started this month. DOJ has been avoiding this like the plague. >


2 years after Jan 6 and nobody has even been indicted, much less actually brought to trial. 

This is incorrect. Lots of insurrectionists have been prosecuted and some have even been convicted for seditious conspiracy.
However, that doesn't mean the DOJ's prosecutors think they can win a sedition case, or on other charges, against Republicans involved in the fake elector scheme (among other things). It's not like this sort of case is constantly being prosecuted with loads of historical precedent. It's a terrible novelty and therefore the possibility of fucking up a trial is high. >

All nobodies and pawns without political consequences. Garlands attempt to quell some noise and remain aloof from hard decisions.
Wouldn’t even charge Gaetz, when he was gifted the Venmo receipts. He’s the most cowardly AG we’ve ever had, and his cowardice has only empowered the next coup.
Germany managed to jail the Austrian after his first attempt. Even Russia exiled Lenin after his first attempt. We can’t even do that. >

100% this. >

That case is ongoing. >

All six should be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and they should be banned for life from having anything to do with any election. >

I agree. It's a shame being an alternate elector isn't a crime, or illegal to any way. >

Trump tried and did everything thing he could to have overturn the election.. and lost… including Nevada…lol >

Why are these fake electors not getting arrested? >

They are having their shit publicly subpoenaed. That's step 2 or 3 if securing a bulletproof conviction. >

“The planning was extensive, the transcripts show, and began as early as four days before the election, when state party officials began discussing whether Nevada’s Republican secretary of state, Barbara Cegavske, would sign off on the alternate slate of electors.”
This is the craziest part to me, if I understand it correctly. That they started this plan BEFORE the election. >

There were several aspects of the broader plan that were formulated before the election.  For example, Trump's constant harping for months about mail-in voting was integral to his plan to announce he "won" on election night, regardless of the outcome.  Steve Bannon publicly said, and others said in testimony, that an election-night announcement regardless of the vote was the plan.
Because the "in person" votes tend to be counted first, Trump could skew how his followers would vote (i.e. in-person), so that it would increase the chances he would be ahead early in the process versus if all of the votes were eventually counted.  He was intentionally enhancing the Red Mirage/Blue Shift, which was expected to be especially strong in 2020 because of the effect of the pandemic.  That way he could claim fraud, "stop the count", and say he "won" if you only counted the "legitimate" votes, disenfranchising millions.
He implemented this plan publicly on stage in front of everybody, long before the fake electors aspect.
[Edit: The details of the pre-planned nature of the election night "win" declaration, and how the strategy was supposed to work with the "Red Mirage" are well-explained in the full report from the Jan. 6th committee starting on p.196 and continuing to about p.202.  It also quotes Steve Bannon from prior to the election.  The real irony is the fact that Trump's urging to his followers not to use mail-in voting probably cost him the 2020 election in Georgia, in the opinion of the Secretary of State who did the counting there.] >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)


Still, the transcripts provide an unprecedented view into the Trump team's coordinated efforts in Nevada to overturn the results of the election - efforts that included direct communication between McDonald and the president himself.
The day before the slate of fake electors met, the transcripts show McDonald grew increasingly frustrated with the RNC's direction over how to conduct the certificate signing.
Ultimately, the Nevada Republican Party would press forward, and after more than two months of planning, McDonald, DeGraffenreid and the other fake electors gathered outside the Capitol building in Carson City for a ceremony.

Didn’t rep amodi support all this? And mike Lee? >

Damn the people who were the fake electors are FUCKED...the system is gonna make an example outta them...Trump still might dodge this bullet but those people are gonna take it right in the face. All those lawyer fees to try to stay out of jail..then jail. I'm giddy with excitement 😁 >


transcripts show McDonald invoked his Fifth Amendment protection 275 times when he was interviewed in February.

LOL >

Ah, excessive Fifth Amendment pleads... so bad for the optics.
What they think they're doing: "These guys aren't getting any information from me, so clearly I'll be declared innocent and left alone"
What everyone else is thinking: "275 times? This guy is doing something hella illegal..." >

Somebody needs to collect the stats on 5th amendment invocations in the transcripts, and then plot a histogram of "total 5ths" for all the characters in this scheme. >

Yo, dawg! I heard you like seditious conspiracies... >

Every one of these people need to be removed from their positions and charged where applicable.  This shit needs to be handled in a zero-tolerance fashion or it’s going to keep happening. >

Even though the Capitol attack was terrible, I think this conspiracy regarding the transmitting of fake electoral college votes to Congress is the most ironclad federal conspiracy case against Trump, Eastman, et al. It's a conspiracy to defraud Congress and to harm the relevant states by blocking their legitimate votes from being cast. His pressure against local officials to resist certifying their results is also just fucking crazy to me. >

So basically the same setup we saw with the Russians trying to influence the election. 
Let's see if this goes anywhere.
