  A reminder that MeShawn Maddock, MIGOP chair, stated that she was asked by the Trump campaign to submit herself as a fake elector.
  AND SHE DID.
  So she blames Trump openly, too, but still goosestepped. >
  
  There seem to be hundreds of actions like this that would have been considered horrific and exceptional a few years before Trump.
  Hard to believe so few have been convicted yet. >
  
  Wow. It almost sounds treasonous to me. >
  
  He may have committed some light treason. >
  
  Treason light. Half the calories of regular treason and non of the jail time. >
  
  How is it we allow government officials to plead the 5th when questioning their actions while acting in official capacity? I can see if they are breaking some law acting as a civilian but not as an official. >
  
  Because you gotta protect the government from incriminating itself to the government. /s >

  Listening to the Behind The Bastards episode on Napoleon III, the punishment for rich people is to receive $200,000 and a free overseas vacation.  But that was in the 1800's, I'm sure the prize has gone up since then >
  
  So they’re facing charges, right? >
  
  Tune it next week to find out in the next episode of Traitor's Treasons and Crimes. >

  The writers would all be fired for the storylines being too stupid and unrealistic. >
  
  
  DeGraffenreid, in a text conversation with party officials, said 
  Cegavske “might do a lot of things, but sending a slate of Republican 
  electors without them being clearly the winners of the popular vote is 
  not one of them.”
  
  Let the indictments begin. >
  
  They need to indict and convict all these fucks. If they don't then Garland is just showing them how to succeed next time. >
  
  I like the chances with a special counsel whose last job was literally prosecuting war criminals and corrupt government officials. Garland technically has the final say, but from what I’ve read and heard, he is deferring to Jack Smith for all prosecutorial decision-making. >
  
  
  That day, six Nevada GOP members signed certificates falsely stating that Trump won Nevada in 2020 and sent them to Congress and the National Archives
  
  Sorry, why are these people not arrested? >

  Conspirators in sedition, each and every one. >
  
  The fake electors probably are not guilty of seditious conspiracy (plotting to overthrow the US government by means of force).
  They definitely are guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States (plotting to obstruct a legitimate government function by means of deception.)
  It's a 20 years max sentence in either case. >
  
  With the amount of scheming that was done by so many accomplices and operatives, it's really no wonder that tRump wouldn't accept or believe that he actually lost the election. >
  
  There’s testimony from his inner circle that he knew full well that he lost.
  Which of course is even worse since he knew he lost and still went down the path of trying to scheme his way into a win or overthrow.
  The only grace I am willing to possibly accept is that he knew he lost and went with “it’s rigged” in order to set himself for a rerun and it went out of control but that is a real stretch.
  He thought the election was just like how he handled things in business, that if he just got enough lawyers and enough people believing his lies that he could get away with it.  
  The MAGA folks who did and still support the big lie are either too stupid to realize due to information isolation or really don’t care about who won the election and would accept a dictator because he’s “their guy”.  And of course you have the ultra mental gymnastic qanon types who think that he’s both still president and being treated unfairly. >
  
  The Great Orange Doof claimed the election was rigged when he won, too. It was like he wasn't able to pivot in real-time, and just went with the prepared narrative when they expected him to lose. >
  
  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 nearly two months of planning, McDonald, DeGraffenreid and the other fake electors gathered outside the Capitol building in Carson City for a ceremony.

  Wow they had a little ceremony like good
  little traitor larpers.  I wonder if they wore cute little tricorn hats with tea bags dangling. >
  
  Put the fake electors in prison for 15-20 years.  Send a message to anyone who conspires with a future sedition contemplating elected or military official that no matter what happens to that guy, you are going down if you participate.
