Imposter electors are tied to high-profile Republicans in Wisconsin

When Sen. Chris Larson and Rep. Jonathan Brostoff asked the Milwaukee County district attorney to investigate the 10 fake electors who sent documents to Congress falsely certifying the votes of Wisconsinites went to Donald Trump, the pair of Milwaukee legislators also began looking into who...

If the feds play their cards right and charge them with conspiracy, they could ensnare a lot more assholes than those who signed on the dotted line. They could cut the heart out of the republicans organizations in a half dozen battle ground states at a stroke by nailing a dozen or two in each state that submitted the fake documents. A lot of these people will squeal their heads off and part of any plea deal is to tell about any other crimes they have knowledge of, not just the fake elector scheme. They can use other crimes they know about and throw other republicans under the bus for crimes unrelated to 1/6 in order to get deals. There will be a lot of republicans looking for deals soon, they fear prison like Hell.

Judge: Trump Lawyer Must Vet 1,500 Pages of Records Daily for Jan. 6 Panel
A federal judge Wednesday night ruled that former President Donald Trump's lawyer must review at least 1,500 pages of records per business day and immediately transfer any unprivileged documents to the House Jan. 6 committee.

Judge David Carter, of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, ordered attorney John Eastman to begin producing pages to congressional investigators beginning Friday, Politico reported.

Any documents Eastman deems privileged must be given to Carter. If the committee challenges the lawyer's claim, the judge will review the records to determine whether the assertion was valid before holding a hearing to adjudicate the privilege disputes.

"Dr. Eastman shall use an electronic discovery program to facilitate efficient production and privilege log creation,” the judge wrote, adding that the panel would cover costs for the program.

Carter earlier rejected Eastman's attempt to block the committee’s subpoena for 19,000 pages of emails held by his former employer, Chapman University. Eastman has claimed that many of the emails relate to his legal clients and therefore be subject to potential attorney-client privilege.

The Wednesday night ruling showed that Carter is taking a more hands-on approach than any federal judge so far to assist the Jan. 6 select committee’s effort to access specific documents from a reluctant witness.

Politico said Carter repeatedly has expressed support for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s partisan panel — comprised of Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans — that is investigating events surrounding the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Carter has ruled in the committee’s favor on three successive days.

The judge's latest ruling came after House counsel Doug Letter had accused Eastman of refusing to act quickly after Carter ruled Tuesday that the Trump ally should quickly begin reviewing and providing documents to the committee.

"The Select Committee is concerned about the pace of Plaintiff’s review," Letter wrote in an update to the court Wednesday afternoon, Politico reported. "This Court ordered Plaintiff to begin work on production and creating a privilege log on Tuesday, January 25, by 12:00 pm Pacific, yet it appears that Plaintiff has not even begun reviewing the documents at issue."

Eastman's attorneys, Charles Burnham and Anthony Caso, countered that their client received a cluster of documents from Chapman University on Tuesday, and he had been in flight and unable to immediately download them.

The lawyers said Eastman was also unable to immediately access the documents "due to the size of the file" and was unable to begin reviewing any materials until 10 p.m. Tuesday, Politico reported.

"Plaintiff strongly disputes any suggestion from the congressional defendants that he has undertaken this privilege review with anything other than the greatest dispatch," Burnham wrote, Politico said.

Carter has asked both sides to provide an update on Friday.

Judge lays out schedule for Eastman to speed up records processing for Jan. 6 panel
Judge David Carter issued a more detailed production schedule on Wednesday, laying out a timeline for how Eastman should review and process the documents requested by the Jan. 6 panel, according to a copy of the document published by Politico.
The committee, according to Politico, has requested 19,000 pages of emails from Chapman University, his former employer. Eastman had tried to stop the subpoena for the emails, which was rejected by Carter.

Doug Letter, counsel for the House committee, penned an update to the court on Wednesday writing that the panel is “concerned about the pace” of Eastman’s review, noting that it appears he had “not even begun reviewing the documents at issue” and “will not begin before tonight or tomorrow.”
Eastman’s lawyers, however, filed their own update to the court, writing that their client had received a cluster of documents when he was on a flight on Tuesday, and therefore “could not download them on the available internet.” The attorneys said Eastman would “continue the review process in coordination with counsel this evening.”

Starting Friday, Carter has ordered Eastman to review and process 1,500 pages per business day and release any unprivileged documents or related metadata to the committee.

The lawyer was also ordered to create a privilege log each business day that includes any documents or related metadata deemed privileged to the committee and the court.

The court instructed Eastman to “notify the Court of any issues he faces in maintaining that pace.”
The schedule also details the challenge process for documents deemed privileged: the congressional panel will have three business days from when the privilege log was received to file challenges, then Eastman has one day to file challenged documents under seal for court review.

Following Trump's loss in the 2020 election, Eastman drafted a memo advising the Trump campaign on using the purported vice presidential authority to push back on the election results and encourage state legislatures to oppose electors from specific states to deny President Biden an Electoral College win.
Eastman sued Verizon and the Jan. 6 committee last month in an attempt to block the committee from receiving his phone records.

Not sure what to say about this, have to dig a little and give my noodle some time to digest. First thought was he did it to save himself some how, he did refuse to leave with the secret service, sure hard believing integrity had anything to do with it.

They should give him a medal for just managing to stay out of jail! I wonder how many in the Trump administration will end up convicted of a crime? He broke all the records already and I doubt they will go after the departments and the corruption of cabinet members.

He has no integrity, how could a real christian agree to be vice president to Stinky, the exact opposite of what a christian is supposed to be.

Jan. 6 panel subpoenas 14 involved in false electors scheme
The panel announced that it had issued subpoenas to 14 individuals from seven states who had filed the fake documents with the National Archives.
“The Select Committee is seeking information about attempts in multiple states to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including the planning and coordination of efforts to send false slates of electors to the National Archives," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the select committee, said in a statement. "We believe the individuals we have subpoenaed today have information about how these so-called alternate electors met and who was behind that scheme. We encourage them to cooperate with the Select Committee’s investigation to get answers about January 6th for the American people and help ensure nothing like that day ever happens again.”

The group of people who were subpoenaed appear to all be state GOP officials and activists from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Earlier this week, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN that federal prosecutors were also examining the "alternate electors" effort.
"We've received those referrals. Our prosecutors are looking at those and I can't say anything more on ongoing investigations," Monaco told the network on Tuesday.

In letters sent out Friday, the select committee told the subjects of the subpoenas that it is investigating who was involved in the scheme, citing media reports that the group had met on Dec. 14, 2020 to cast their "votes."

"Your delegation of purported electors for former President Trump and former Vice President Pence then sent an alleged 'Certificate of the Votes' of the purported electors to Congress for consideration by former Vice President Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021," reads one letter addressed to Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer. "The existence of these purported alternate-elector votes was used as a justification to delay or block the certification of the election during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021."
The committee said it is seeking answers about who had overseen the scheme.

Evidence Shows Trump Was 'Involved In Conspiracy To Overturn Election'

Former assistant U.S. attorney for SDNY Dan Goldman reacts to the subpoenas sent from the January 6th select committee to fake Trump electors across the country.

The fake electors plot part of the coup is unraveling pretty fast and those involved must be shitting bricks by now. This will involve many republican activists and state officials in several key swing states and badly damage their local party organizations. This is making the local news too in the states affected and hopefully will have an impact of state and federal elections this fall.

DOJ Considering Supreme Court Rejection of Trump's Executive Privilege Claim in Mark Meadows Case

As revealed on MSNBC earlier today, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco affirmed that the Department of Justice is factoring into its handling of January 6 matters the fact that the US Supreme Court recently rejected Donald Trump's executive privilege claim. This will most directly impact the pending criminal referral of Mark Meadows. As of January 28, we are on day 45 of the Mark Meadows indictment watch. Given that the Supreme Court has cleared the decks, DOJ must now move forward on a Meadows indictment for contempt of Congress.
