The fake electors scheme has Trump's fingerprints all over it. Incriminating thread.

1/ #January6thCommittee latest release includes RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.

Key: Two direct conversations with Trump setting up false electors scheme.👇

It is among areas Trump faces greatest criminal exposure.

Step 1: Trump and Eastman call McDaniel.

(Question) 6 So what did the President say when he called you?
(Answer) 7 So to the best of my recollection, and again it's a long time ago, he
8 introduced me to John Eastman, I was not familiar with him at the time. So I vaguely
9 remember him mentioning that he was a professor, and then essentially he turned the
10 call over to Mr. Eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the RNC
11 helping the campaign gather these contingent electors
in case any of the legal challenges
12 that were ongoing changed the result of any of the States. And so, that would fulfill the
13 requirement for the electors meeting if it went to the Supreme Court.

Although the evidence that emerged from testimony and most of the records seized have been available for far less time.

But don’t let that stop you from complaining.

PS: what’s a “republianmushroom”? (I’m guessing you left out a “c” when creating your user name)

Here is a list of crimes by trump from 2015 to November 2022 (some statues have expired).

you do remember the motto, "No person is above the law"*, correct. Well that asterisk just keeps getting bigger.

President Trump’s staggering record of uncharged crimes

https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-reports/president-trumps-staggering-record-of-uncharged-crimes/#table

As of November 2022, Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 56 criminal offenses since he launched his campaign for president in 2015. That total only reflects allegations relating to his time in or running for office and omits, for instance, Trump’s criminal exposure for fraudulent business dealings.

As reported by https://www.citizensforethics.org/

As the name I was one at one time. The c was left out on purpose to show my ignorance of that time.
