This is all very illegal, forging official documents. I mean, this is all jail-time stuff, for everyone that forged the documents and everyone that put their names on these documents.Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.
The sources said members of former President Donald Trump's campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan, a core tenet of the broader plot to overturn President Joe Biden's victory when Congress counted the electoral votes on January 6.
Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives.
Trump and some of his top advisers publicly encouraged the "alternate electors" scheme in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico. But behind the scenes, Giuliani and Trump campaign officials actively choreographed the process, the sources said.
And while these folks had all jumped onto the Trump train, almost all of them were party functionaries and elected officials in their states. Most aren't Trumpers that got involved because of Trump.
Now they have all committed felonies, and I think the Justice Department and some states are going to go after them. While it seems that many of Trump's people in DC are more than willing to go to prison for Donald, I don't think these people are. They are going to sing like canaries to keep from going to prison.
This is something to watch closely.
