As if Jeffrey Epstein's and Russia's Donald Trump couldn't get any worse - and on the heels of Trump's attorneys admitted there was no Russia, Russia, Russia hoax - the GOP's most respected Senator Liz Cheney admitted that she was on the secret GOP phone call to steal the 2020 elections from the Democrats, "Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., in her upcoming book "Oath and Honor," disclosed the moment she learned of former President Donald Trump's plot to paint his loss of the 2020 presidential election as fraudulent, calling it "a very dangerous and chilling moment." MSNBC's Rachel Maddow read an excerpt from the book, detailing a phone call made two days before the deadly Capitol attacks in which the former president's legal team allegedly discussed the fake elector scheme. Cheney, who noted that Trump's attorneys were unaware that she was listening in on the call, also observed that former Vice President Mike Pence was acting in cooperation with the plans at that time.
“Listening to them describe how these fake electors were going to be used and the fact that they anticipated that Vice President Pence was gonna use them to refuse to count the legitimate electors was certainly a moment of intense concern,” Cheney wrote, also noting that she fled to the House parliamentarian after the call concluded to try and halt the plan. “It was very clear that there were not a lot of good answers to that,” Cheney added."[2][4]
Within the last few days, the GOP's Wisconsin fake electors all admitted that they knew that the elections were not stolen.[3]
Earlier in the week Trump's own attorneys debunked that there was no Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, and that Russia did "engineer" Trump into public office in an ongoing treason and elections fraud conspiracy, or as they like to spin the same "interfered with the elections", just like Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted he was the one who did, and also confirming that Putin did approve the same January 2016.[4]
Accordingly, Trump, Trump's family, Trump Organization, Trump Tower tenants, the GOP, GOP financiers, Russia, and/or others stole the 2016 elections, then obstructed justice for the same, while illegitimately stacking the judiciary and SCOTUS, including with the likes of Aileen Canon, who thus were illegitimately appointed, nominated, and confirmed after Trump and the GOP conspired with a know, and perhaps the number one longest enemy of the United States, Russia, and then Trump and the GOP overtly furthered Putin's, Russia's, and enemies of the United States' ongoing conspiracy to "engineer" Trump, and the GOP into office, in a bid to steal the 2020 elections, and this ongoing conspiracy has many spokes, including but not limited to the fake elector spoke, who just admitted they knew the election wasn't stolen, and plotted to steal the same themselves, and the ongoing conspiracy of Russia 2016 was overtly furthered by the spoke of the insurrection, and this ongoing conspiracy to steal elections by U.S. enemy Russia, Trump, the Trump family, Trump Organization, the GOP/RNC, GOP/RNC financiers, their tributaries, fake electors, insurrectionists, and/or others was at least conceived by November 3, 2015, by Putin's and Trump's boy, Felix Sater, and by email to Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, as illustrated in the network diagram above, and explained all sorts of different ways by UpRights News, including the motive and intent behind the same, to coverup the unlawfully stalked, cyberstalked, cyberterrorism, lynched, obstructed, and intimidated 2013-2023 investigation into Trump, Trump Tower tenants, the GOP/RNC, and U.S. enemy Russia, an investigation which Trump specified he knew about "as he came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower" on June 16, 2015, but before he let the public know he was running for office.[1]
Accordingly, it was Trump, the GOP, Russia, and/or these others who stole an election in 2016, and in a manner that immediately disqualified them from public office per elections fraud law, treason law, the 14th Amendment Section 3, BEFORE the 2016 elections, and then in 2019 they plotted to overtly further that conspiracy with a fake elector conspiracy, then they overtly furthered that conspiracy again with sedition and insurrection, immediately disqualifying them from public office again, desperate to steal the 2020 elections in overtly furtherance of Russia's treason and elections fraud to "engineer" Trump and the GOP into power, while defensively projecting that their ouster by the American people, was stealing the election from them, their only RICO obstruction defense to their crimes with Putin and Russia in 2016 through to 2023, by not allowing them to takeover the U.S. justice system and lawmaking processes.[1]
Shame on all of them for living at birth.
Finally, Trump's attorneys have conceded to some of the same, as have the Wisconsin fake electors, as have brave members of the GOP like Liz Cheney - who unlike her father - tried to save the United States from stolen elections, instead of joining a plot to steal the elections, and obstruct justice for the same with a manufactured crisis, with the GOP and/or Russia.[3]
On the heels of all of that, Kevin McCarthy has specified he is going to abandon his role in Congress - and separately, the Attorney General for Nevada, has filed charges against Trump's and the GOP's fake electors in Nevada - who sought to steal the 2020 elections, in overt furtherance of Putin's, Progozhin's, Russia's, Trump's, the GOP's, and/or others' ongoing conspiracy to steal elections from the American people between at least 2016-2023, but where now we know that this dates back to much earlier, to at least 2013-2015, and is like why Trump, the GOP, and Russia, conspired in an ongoing manner to overthrow America, to seize control of the justice system, to evade criminal and civil prosecution and liability, and the death penalty, prescribed by the law for their crimes, and where all of those obstructing justice for the same between 2014-2023, are complicit in this ongoing conspiracy, comparable to the drivers of multi-bank coordinated heists, trying to help the criminals who robbed the banks get away with robbing the banks.[1][5]
"Six Republicans who cast fake electoral votes for Donald Trump in Nevada in 2020 were charged with two felonies each by the state’s attorney general on Wednesday.
The Democratic attorney general, Aaron Ford, announced the charges, saying a grand jury had decided to charge the six fake electors with “offering a false instrument for filing” and “uttering a forged instrument” for sending documents claiming to be the state’s electors.
Fake electors in Georgia and Michigan have already been charged, while others of the seven states with similar schemes are still investigating the issue. A separate civil lawsuit in Wisconsin over the fake electors settled this week, with the Republicans who claimed Trump won the state acknowledging Biden’s victory and agreeing not to serve as electors next year.
“When the efforts to undermine faith in our democracy began after the 2020 election, I made it clear that I would do everything in my power to defend the institutions of our nation and our state,” Ford said in a statement. “We cannot allow attacks on democracy to go unchallenged. Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation, and as we pursue this prosecution, I am confident that our judicial system will see justice done.”"[5]
The Guardian has reported that no less than 7 States were involved with these crimes by Trump and the GOP to steal elections (to overtly further Russia's, Trump's, and the GOP's ongoing conspiracy spokes back to at least 2015), "As Donald Trump faces criminal charges in multiple cases across the country, several states are still investigating a scheme created by Trump allies and boosted by Trump himself to cast fake electoral votes for the Republican candidate for the 2020 election.
As part of the US electoral college system, states cast a set number of votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote in their state, the winner of which then takes the presidency. Seven states that the former president lost saw slates of fake GOP electors falsely claim Trump had won their electoral votes. These fake electors included high-profile Republicans, such as sitting officeholders and state party leaders.
Two prosecutors, in Michigan and Georgia, have already filed charges against fake electors. Others have confirmed investigations but provided few details. One state prosecutor said local laws did not address this kind of crime, which is unprecedented.
Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump campaign legal adviser and the supposed mastermind of the fake electors scheme, pleaded guilty in Georgia over his role in subverting the election. Chesebro allegedly created the plan in a secret memo based on Wisconsin’s electoral vote.
At the federal level, the special counsel Jack Smith and his team brought charges against Trump and his allies over their attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, which include the fake elector scheme. Several states have confirmed they are cooperating with Smith’s investigation, and news reports have indicated Smith offered limited immunity to some fake electors for their testimony.
Since the scheme had no precedent, some states and experts have struggled to figure out which laws may have been broken, and whether the charges should be state or federal. In some states, the fake electors also face civil lawsuits. Here’s where they stand.
Arizona
The former Arizona attorney general Mark Brnovich, a Republican, never publicly confirmed any investigation into the state’s fake electors, which included high-profile far-right figures such as the state senator Jake Hoffman and the former Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward. The state actually saw two separate sets of fake electors.
His successor, the Democrat Kris Mayes, told the Guardian earlier this year that her office is investigating the fake electors, but has not provided any details of the investigation so far. On a recent Arizona Republic podcast episode, Mayes said she could not say much about the contours of the investigation, but that her office was taking it “very seriously” and that it was a “very important investigation”.
While the cases in Michigan and Georgia are much further along, she noted that their prosecutors have been in place much longer than she has. Mayes took office in January 2023.
Georgia
Three fake electors in Georgia were charged as part of a broader case against Trump and his allies over election subversion attempts.
The Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, brought charges against the former Georgia Republican party chairman David Shafer, the state senator Shawn Still and the activist Cathy Latham, three of the 16 fake electors from that state. They face various charges, including forgery, impersonating a public officer and attempting to file false documents.
Several of the others who signed on as false electors for Trump struck immunity deals or plea agreements with prosecutors.
The three fake electors charged have pleaded not guilty. Their attorneys argued in September that they were not fake electors, but instead “contingent” electors who could be used should the courts overturn Biden’s win, the Associated Press reported. The three are trying to get their case moved from state court in Georgia to a federal court, arguing they were acting as federal officers who were keeping an avenue open for Trump depending on what happened in the courts.
Sidney Powell, who was charged in the broader case, pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. The unexpected move netted Powell six years of probation and some fines and marks a major shift in the Georgia case for Trump and his allies. Chesebro, on the day jury selection for his trial was set to begin, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents and probably will serve five years’ probation.
Michigan
The Democratic attorney general Dana Nessel charged 16 Michiganders who participated as fake electors with eight felonies each, including multiple forgery charges, for their roles in the scheme. Those charged include party activists, candidates for office and state and local party officials.
Attempts by two defendants to get the charges dismissed because of Nessel’s comments about how the electors were “brainwashed” were unsuccessful. The 16 people charged pleaded not guilty, and probable cause hearings are set for this month.
This week, one of Michigan’s fake electors saw his charges dropped as part of a deal with the state’s attorney general. James Renner, a Republican who falsely signed that Trump had won, agreed to “full cooperation, truthful testimony and production of any and all relevant documents” in exchange for the dropped charges, filings from the attorney general’s office, obtained by NBC News, show. This includes information about how he was asked to become part of the fake slate and the circumstances of meetings among those involved in the scheme.
Nevada
Nevada’s top prosecutor has said his office would not bring charges against the six people who signed on as fake electors there in 2020. The state’s Democratic attorney general, Aaron Ford, said current state laws did not address this kind of situation, “to the dismay of some, and I’m sure, to the delight of others”.
The Democratic state senator Skip Daly attempted to solve that problem, and the state legislature passed a bill that would have made it a felony for people to serve as false electors, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Ford had endorsed the bill.
But the Republican governor, Joe Lombardo, vetoed the bill, saying the penalties were too harsh, though he said he believed those who undermine elections should face “strict punishments”.
New Mexico
The former New Mexico attorney general Hector Balderas started an investigation into the five Republicans who signed as false electors there, then referred the matter to federal prosecutors, according to Source New Mexico.
The office of the current attorney general, Raúl Torrez, confirmed there was an active state investigation into the fake electors to see if they violated state law, but details about the case have been scant. Torrez’s office said it would work with Jack Smith to get any evidence related to a state inquiry, according to KOAT Action News.
The Fulton county and federal investigations into his attempts to overturn the election pose serious legal peril for Trump.
Like Pennsylvania, the fake electors in New Mexico included a caveat in their documents that could help them, should charges be filed. They wrote that they signed the documents “on the understanding that it might be later determined that we are the duly elected and qualified electors”.
Pennsylvania
The 20 fake electors in Pennsylvania are unlikely to face any criminal charges because of how they worded the documents they signed. The documents say the false electoral votes would only be considered valid if the courts deemed the slate to be the “duly elected and qualified electors” for Pennsylvania.
Governor Josh Shapiro, then the state’s Democratic attorney general, said the hedged language would spare the false electors from a criminal investigation by his office. His successor as attorney general, Michelle Henry, told Votebeat that the office’s position remained that charges were not warranted.
“Though their rhetoric and policy were intentionally misleading and purposefully damaging to our democracy, based on our initial review, our office does not believe this meets the legal standards for forgery,” Shapiro said in 2022.
Wisconsin
The Democratic attorney general, Josh Kaul, has not said whether his office is investigating the state’s 10 fake electors for potential state law violations, though a civil lawsuit against the alternate slate is moving forward. Kaul has said he supports the federal investigation and that he expects to see “further developments” in that case.
Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, said in August he wanted to see the Wisconsin fake electors “held accountable” via prosecution.
“What those ten fake electors did was wrong,” Evers wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “People have to be held accountable for that, and I hope to hell somebody does.”
Federal prosecutors, in the Trump indictment, said the fake electors scheme started in Wisconsin with the attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who suggested electors meet there to sign on to a slate in case Trump’s team won in the courts."[5]
Again, as an update to this reporting above, the GOP's and Trump's Wisconsin fake electors admitted that they knew that the elections weren't stolen (but rather that they, Trump, and the GOP attempted to steal the 2020 elections is what the evidence, admissions, and law collectively make for a reasonable inference).
