HCR

Eastman said they could just... overrule the voters.

HCR

"Just do it and let the courts figure it out." WTAF

HCR

Eastman said "Just do it and let the courts sort it out." Bowers said: You want me to put my state through something novel and likely illegal? Not happening.

HCR

Bowers told Trump he would not do anything illegal for him. Eastman said, do it and let the courts sort it out.

HCR

Bowers. What he wanted was contrary to Constitution of US and state, both.

Andy Biggs also called Bowers. Wanted him to support the decertification of the electors.

HCR

Bowers made a public statement, calling the pressure "breathtaking" and saying "the rule of law forbids us to do that."

HCR

No legal pathway to execute such a request, says Bowers.

HCR

Bowers's statement called on Reagan's inaugural, focusing on the orderly transfer of power, calling it "a miracle." Bowers talking about how much he admires (present tense) Reagan.

HCR

Champions "the will of the people." (Editorial: Reagan's administration began the process of voter suppression.)

HCR

Schiff: Trump and campaign tried to replace certified ballots with fake ones.

HCR

November 18, Chesebro said campaign should organize its own electors in the swing states Trump had lost. Giuliani, Meadows, and congress members were involved.

HCR

RNC directly involved in collecting the false electors. Trump wanted the RNC to help. Ronna McDaniel seems to be trying to get the RNC away from the mess.

HCR

Jeffrey Clark said it wasn't okay. Some now say they wanted out, that the plan was illegal.

HCR

Meadows, Giuliani, etc., knew it wasn't legal. A fake elector says they were "useful idiots," "rubes." Real lawyers had said they wanted nothing to do with it. Fake elector says no one cared if they were putting themselves in legal jeopardy.

HCR

Fake electors told their slates would only count if courts said they should be.

HCR

Fake electors met in secret. They were told they were working directly with the president's team.

HCR

AZ, GA, MI, PA, NM, NV, WI, fake electors met and falsely claimed they were "duly elected" and submitted them to the National Archives.

HCR

Eastman said it didn't matter that they were fake; the very fact they existed created confusion, and Pence should then reject both.

HCR

Senator Johnson wanted to hand deliver false electors? (Did I hear that right?!? I might not have.)

HCR

White House counsels office said this was not legally sound. Trump and crew did it anyway.

Bowers calls it "a tragic parody."

Bowers contemporary diary: "It is painful to have friends... turn on me with such rancor." But "I do not want to be a winner by cheating. I will not play with laws I swore allegiance to."

HCR

Bowers heavy on the Christianity. (Likely to appeal to evangelicals.)

HCR

Bowers and family targeted by Trump mobs. More than 20K emails and tens of thousands of voicemails. Stopped work under the saturation. Even now, protested every week, calling Bowers a pedophile and a pervert. Blaring loudspeakers.

HCR

Threatening them and neighbors. One man threatening had a gun. His gravely ill daughter upset. "It was... disturbing. It was disturbing...."

Trump is a symptom.

Elite criminal impunity is the disease.

Accountability is the road forward.

Accountability means holding the enablers to task as well. Officials who look the other way. Rotting institutions that long ago abandoned the American people and still do so now.

@Acyn

Text messages showing that Ron Johnson wanted to hand deliver fake electors to Pence

HCR

Committee's back. Now Georgia.

Thompson reiterates that the investigation is still ongoing.

HCR

Raffensperger. (I've written that name 6 million times.)

Trump supporter. Says that the election was "remarkably smooth," "successful."

HCR

Raffensperger says Biden won by about 12K votes. And the state literally recounted every ballot in the state. Biden won.

HCR

Trump asked for another count. Three counts all remarkably close to the same number. Trump lost.

HCR

Now Sterling. Tried to push back on disinformation. Asked Trump directly to stop inspiring people to violence. "It's not right."

HCR

That press conference was because a young contractor had been receiving threats thanks to a QAnon video and Sterling saw on Twitter that someone had put that man's name with a noose and said "May God have mercy on your soul." Sterling lost it.

HCR

Trump didn't back off. Instead, he tweeted that there was "massive voter fraud in Georgia." That was false.

HCR

Next day Trump released a video claiming thousands and thousands of votes "all out of whack... all against me."

HCR

Then Giuliani goes to Georgia and starts conspiracy theory about "suitcases of ballots" run through counting machines in the middle of the night. All false.

HCR

Giuliani calls it a "powerful smoking gun." Says those votes are illegitimate. Trump pushes the video footage even as Giuliani pushes out his testimony. All false. Sterling says they reviewed the entire video. It actually showed...

HCR

Fulton County election workers engaging in normal ballot processing. The "suitcases" were election workers going home. They put ballots in secure boxes so they can go home, and putting them under the tables.

HCR

They thought they were going home. Elections director said put your ass*s back in the chairs. (I paraphrase.) They take their coats off and take the ballots back out.

HCR

All standard operating procedure. The hand tally shows the counting was virtually perfect.

HCR

Sterling kept talking to the people to try to clarify what was really going on. All in plain view. Says he's frustrated that Trump's lawyers keep mischaracterizing it. Their version is "untrue."

HCR

"I just know in my heart they cheated." (And that's what we're up against.)

HCR

Trump continues to say the election is stolen. Blames "Democrats workers." Insists he actually won Georgia.

HCR

Jeffrey Pugh
@JeffreyCPugh

The overlap of people who know Jesus "in their heart" and know the election was corrupt "in their heart" may be more extensive than I imagine.

HCR

Bjay Pak says there was nothing to the accusations. Giuliani was wrong. AG Bill Barr said they, too, looked at it, and the accusations "had no merit."

And they told Trump that.

HCR

(Again, Trump wasn't going to let it go even if he knew it was false because it created justification for him to try to stay in power.)

HCR

Meadows texted 18 times to set up the call w/ Raffensperger. Meadows went to GA. Also set up a call with Frances Watson in which Trump pressures her to change the votes.

HCR

Trump totally sounds like a pathetic child.

HCR

Raffensperger says Trump lost because people refused to vote for him although they voted Republican down ballot.

HCR

White House wanted to swamp the Georgia inspectors with White House stuff. Trump appears to threaten Watson's job.

HCR

Now the Raffensperger call (which R taped because Lindsey Graham had called earlier and then denied what was said. R wanted to protect himself.)

HCR

Trump to Raffensperger call was 67 minutes. Trump again with the suitcases. Everyone had told him that the story of them was false.

HCR

Sterling says they are standard storage boxes.

HCR

The full phone call is on the J6 website. I don't have a link atm.

Sterling says that Fulton County had monitor on site. Before he left, he noted how many ballots had been counted on each machine. He did it again later, so we have the exact numbers-- there were no 18K new ballots.

HCR

(I want to be president and just be able to make sh*t up. But boy would my fantasies be more uplifting than his.)

No dead voters, either.

HCR

Trump says there's no reason not to just say they were wrong and say they recounted. Raffensperger says that was illegal. "The numbers are the numbers and the numbers don't lie."

Raffensperger tells Trump those who found nothing illegitimate were either "dishonest or incompetent."

HCR

Lin Wood tweets that Raffensperger will "soon be going to jail." Then Trump says....

HCR

that R is going to find they're shredding ballots. (He's bonkers.) Says R is taking a "criminal... risk" not to throw them out.

HCR

Then Trump asks: "I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state." Raffensperger says to Schiff: "There were no votes to find."

HCR

Trump warns Raffensperger that it is "very dangerous for you to say" that there was no fraud. R interpreted this as a threat.

HCR

Raffensperger and wife both doxxed. Sexual doxxing for her. Broke into DIL's home (she's a widow). Worried for her and her kids. Didn't quit because it's important to follow the law and the Constitution.
