What the Jan. 6th Report Says About the Fake Electors Scheme

“Freaking Trump idiots want someone to fly original elector papers to the senate President.”

 

On December 14, 2020, Republican operatives in at least five states—each of which had already officially certified Joe Biden as the winner—forged and submitted to Congress and the National Archives fake Electoral College certificates purporting to certify Donald Trump, not Biden, as the “duly elected” winner. The left-leaning watchdog group American Oversight first blew the whistle on the fake elector scheme in March 2021, but it wasn’t until Rachel Maddow devoted a series of shows to it in January 2022 that it really captured public attention.

The fake electors were hardly the worst of what Trump visited on us. For sheer journalistic sex appeal, a scheme by a bunch of unknown, bumbling state functionaries to phony up some documents just can’t compete with a president siccing an armed mob on the Capitol. But the fake elector scandal, while not the most shocking of Trump’s predations, has long looked like the straightest route to cracking open the entire 2020 election scheme, and to getting Donald Trump indicted and convicted of a crime (at least until the Mar-a-Lago stolen documents scandal was revealed, but that’s another story). If Trump was a knowing participant in the scheme (more on that later), his reasons for doing so would make absolutely no difference. Even if he really, truly believed the election was stolen, it would not be a defense to criminal charges for participating in a fraudulent scheme to submit forged documents as the official results of state presidential elections. To the contrary, his belief that he was stealing back a stolen election would be highly incriminating proof of his motive, not a defense.

I'd have to go back and look at the actual tweets, but I think it was like 224 pm on 6 Jan where Trump send out the tweet that attacked Pence. I think it was roughly 15-20 minutes later when he tweeted again, asking the people at the Capitol to remain peaceful.

 

You wonder who or what prompted him to send the second tweet. Did someone get to him and say that he was going to be in deep **** if he didn't walk the first one back, or did he hear about Babbitt being shot?

I believe the theory is Trump was hearing 25th amendment rumors and did it to save his ass for the day.

Former Trump aide said he and other staffers couldn't imagine Trump marching to the Capitol on January 6 because he'd 'never seen the man walk across a golf course without a golf cart'

 

A handful of then-President Donald Trump's aides heard ahead of January 6, 2021, that he might be planning to walk with supporters down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol as a Joint Session of Congress met to certify the election results.

 

According to the former White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere, they laughed it off — it just wasn't realistic for Trump to walk that far.

 

"I've never seen the man walk across a golf course without a golf cart. I can't imagine him walking up Pennsylvania Avenue," Deere told investigators with the January 6 committee during a deposition in March 2022, adding that there were also "security concerns" about such a movement.

Donald Trump May Try to Pardon Himself in Mar-a-Lago Investigation

 

Ever since Trump’s special master was dismissed from the Mar-a-Lago investigation, federal investigators have been able to go through the documents found on Trump’s estate with no further interference.

 

Because of the turn the investigation has taken, many are wondering if Trump will attempt to pardon himself from any wrongdoing using a pocket pardon.

 

Democratic activist Andrew Wortman placed his bets on Twitter as to whether or not Trump will attempt to wield this power.

 

“Going on record now and saying there is at least a 99 percent chance that Trump issued himself a pardon while he was still in office that he plans to pull out of his pocket and try to use as an actual get-out-of-jail-free card the moment he’s finally indicted/arrested (It will not work).”

Former Trump White House aide told Jan. 6 panel Mark Meadows burned documents a dozen times during the transition period

 

The January 6 committee released another batch of transcripts Tuesday, including two more of its interviews with blockbuster witness Cassidy Hutchinson and testimony from several other Trump White House officials.

 

The transcripts shed new light on how then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows regularly burned documents during the transition period, according to Hutchinson. She also described how Meadows occasionally told staffers to keep some Oval Office meetings “close hold” and potentially omitted from official records.

 

There were also additional details about Hutchinson’s dueling loyalties that led her to ultimately switch lawyers and provide damning testimony about what she saw and heard at the White House after the 2020 election.

 

The latest cache of transcripts also revealed some of the rumors, gossip and wild conspiracies that were floating around the White House – including conversations about QAnon conspiracies – while then-President Donald Trump refused to concede and tried to overturn the election results.

 

Meadows told White House staffers to keep some Oval Office meetings “close hold” during the transition period, potentially leaving meetings off the books, according to Hutchinson, who was a top Meadows aide.

 

Hutchinson also testified that there “were certain things that had potentially been left off” the Oval Office diary.

 

Hutchinson said she recalled Meadows having a meeting at the end of November or early December 2020 in which he told outer Oval Office staffers: “Let’s keep some meetings close hold. We will talk about what that means, but for now we will keep things real tight and private so things don’t start to leak out.”

 

She testified that she couldn’t recall whether there was specific information Meadows wanted to keep “close hold.” She said she was not aware of any explicit directions that Meadows gave to keep January 6 information “close hold.”

 

Additionally, she told the committee that she saw Meadows burn documents in his office fireplace around a dozen times – about once or twice a week – between December 2020 and mid-January 2021.

 

On several occasions, Hutchinson said, she was in Meadows’ office when he threw documents into the fireplace after a meeting. At least twice, the burning came after meetings with GOP Rep. Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican, who has been linked to the efforts to use the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election.

Hicks then texted back: “I am so done” and added, “Does she get how royally ****ed they all are now?”

Hicks and Radford also fretted that they would face fallout from the deadly Capitol riots.

“In one day, he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local proud boy’s chapter,” Hicks wrote, apparently referring to lame-duck President Trump.

“And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed,” she continued. “I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

January 6 committee warns White House it can’t ensure identity of anonymous witnesses will remain protected

 

The House January 6 committee has warned President Joe Biden’s White House that it cannot ensure that the identity of personnel who cooperated with its probe on the condition of anonymity will remain protected once the panel dissolves on Tuesday.

 

The select committee had agreed it “would do its utmost to protect the identity” of certain personnel if the White House allowed them to sit for an interview.

 

But now the panel acknowledges it “cannot ensure enforcement of the commitment to maintain the confidentiality of the identity of the witnesses” because it will no longer exercise control over interview transcripts after it is dissolved, according to a December 30 letter.

 

“Pursuant to long-standing House rules, the official records of the Committee will be archived and pass into the control of the National Archives,” the committee wrote to Richard Sauber, special counsel for Biden, noting the panel shares “concern for the safety, security, and reputations of our witnesses.”

Since the vast majority of the witnesses are Republicans from the Trump administration, the fear is that the MAGA crowd will doxx former Trump officials.  Leopards eating each other's faces again.  But, hopefully DOJ can corroborate their testimony before these maniacs hurt somebody.

Donald Trump wanted to trademark ‘rigged election’ days after losing 2020 race, Jan 6 documents reveal

 

Emails from Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6 reveal that the former president wanted to trademark “rigged election” days after the 2020 presidential election.

 

It’s a phrase that Mr Trump used nearly 100 times in 2020 and 2021, according to a review of his statements by The Independent via Factba.se.

 

On 9 November, 2020, two days after media networks predicted Joe Biden’s victory, then-Trump aide Dan Scavino emailed Mr Kushner with a request from then-President Trump.

 

“Hey Jared! POTUS wants to trademark/own rights to below, I don’t know who to see – or ask…I don’t know who to take to,” Mr Scavino wrote, according to an email in a transcript of Mr Kushner’s testimony provided to the committee, which was released on 30 December.

 

The email includes two bolded phrases: “Save America PAC!” and “Rigged Election!”

Steve Bannon Wanted To ‘Turn Up The Heat’ After Jan. 6 Violence

 

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon had floated the idea of more violence in the days following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, according to text messages obtained by the House select committee that investigated the attack.

 

The House Jan. 6 committee released its latest batch of material on Sunday from its investigation into the insurrection and the political players who planned it, including the former president. The committee formally recommended last month that the Justice Department charge Trump with several counts related to the attack, including inciting an insurrection.

 

One of the witness testimony transcripts the committee released on Monday is that of Alexandra Preate, who served as Bannon’s spokesperson from 2016 to 2020.

 

A text exchange between Preate and Bannon on Jan. 8, 2021, that was obtained by the House select committee revealed that the former Trump adviser wanted to “turn up the heat” in the days following the deadly insurrection. Despite attempts by Trump’s followers to stop Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden on Jan. 6, the majority of lawmakers carried out their duty that day.

 

According to the texts, Preate later messaged Bannon about Trump still residing in Washington and asked when the Republican president planned to leave town ahead of Biden’s inauguration.

 

“He’s not staying in the White House after the 20th,” Bannon replied, referring to Biden’s inauguration date. “But who says we don’t have one million people the next day?”

Bannon is another one that should be in jail already.
