NEW YORK – Harvard law professor and progressive activist Larry Lessig has announced that he is teaming up with a California-based law firm to offer “free and confidential” legal services to any members of the Electoral College who will vote against President-elect Donald Trump in violation of state law.
Lessig, a one-time presidential candidate, has served on the boards of numerous groups financed by billionaire George Soros.
Lessig’s Electoral College scheme, which is being called the Electors Trust, is a last-ditch effort to stop Trump from becoming president.
It comes after a petition drive by the Soros-funded MoveOn.org activist organization sought to abolish the Electoral College altogether.
Lessig’s project also follows the largely failed recount efforts of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who was aided by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Breitbart News reported that the lawyer representing Clinton’s recount efforts, Marc Elias, recently led legal battles against state voting laws with an infusion of funding from Soros.
Lessig’s effort to help electors vote against Trump was first reported on Monday by Politico:
Lessig says his new effort, which he calls “The Electors Trust,” will provide free counsel to electors, provided by the midsize firm, Durie Tangri, whose partner Mark Lemley is a longtime associate of Lessig’s.
More significantly, Lessig said, the Trust will offer a platform – with guaranteed anonymity – for electors to strategize about stopping Trump from taking the White House. It’s a platform, he said, that could help electors coordinate to determine whether they’ve gathered enough support to stop Trump from winning the presidency.
“It makes no sense to be elector number five who comes out against Trump. But it might make sense to be elector 38,” Lessig said in a phone interview.

This is really getting old.
the seditious antiAmerican scum, IslamoNazis, SorosNazis, and commies need to be CLEANED OUT of power. they are still in many powerful posts inside govt and out
they are very very dangerous to the future of USA (and the world, for that matter). very dangerous
Will they get this?
This is prior to the date the electors meet. Why not legislatively pass some proactive laws in the targeted states that hold the 306 EV.
STAT- Pass a law that states that electors can not go rogue and will be replaced if they challenge the people’s vote in the state that they claim to represent. Do it now.
When is the a$$ Soros going to have his US citizenship stripped? He is clearly aiming at taking down the US Government, it’s sovereignty, and the Constitution. This has been going on for decades and no one can stand up to him? Is the US Constitution really a suicide pact?
It is well passed time that something is done to remove Soros and his ilk from attempting to change the constitutional election process. He has been tampering with the U.S. far too long. Hopefully, the Trump team will go after him and silence his efforts once and for all.
Yes, these Utopian lefty liberal fascists want to impose their supposedly superior politically correct morality on the American people in order to disenfranchise them.
We see the true face of the progressive left in America.
It is a truly fascist face.
And such fascism is very well defined, read it here:
“Barrack Obama , The Quintessential Fascist,” by Kyle Anne Shiver:

No way that America will allow their subterfuge.These fascisti need to disappear into the dust bin of history, and stay there, where they belong.
A real-life Ernst Stavros continues his maniacal quest for global government.
Is there a real life James Bond to stop him?
Soros is like a James Bond villain. Just wish there was a real James Bond equivalent to complete the plot...
Just another ambulance chaser but on a ‘slightly’ different level. Whether that level is higher or lower I will leave to the reader’s opinion.
Why do they keep begging for a bloody revolution?
They don’t know how lucky they are the revolution was peaceful.
But keep it up guys.
Does no one read history? Even lawyers?
They are seditionists and should be called out as such.
By not doing so, Breitbart's site is guilty of the type of obfuscation that gives semantic cover to the maggots.
"If you can't name the enemy, you can't fight the enemy"
Lessig used to seem to be American. In favor of personal Liberty and Freedom of Speech.
Round them all up, Put them in an Old Style, Soviet SIBERIAN GULOG for 9 WINTER.
Soros has got to go
Times up on that guy
I am amazed Soros is so completely baffled by reality he actually believes he could do this and survive.
Stein is a Communist, Soros a Nazi.
Trump is going to win, and the end result will be a series of electoral reforms that will stop this crap from happening in the future.
That dumb mf’s voice started to rattle on Tucker’s show.
I’m not kidding and it won’t be me, but somebody will f him, his family and his extended family up if he changes his vote.
He has no idea what he is getting into.
His family must be freaking out.
