A memo obtained exclusively by The Federalist explains the theory behind the presidential pardons issued to defendants charged with various violations of state criminal law — a novel theory but one that corners the Democrats behind the weaponization of the criminal justice system.

On Friday, the Trump Administration began contacting the scores of Republicans still facing criminal charges in a handful of blue states for their service as alternative electors — or connection to the alternative electors — conveying the president’s decision to pardon them.

Most people are ignorantly unaware that there IS an alternate panel of electors, one set for each party.

In the past the Democrats sometimes did this. But as of 2020 it was a crime for Republicans to do it.
