Arizona’s ‘fake electors’ for Trump catch DOJ’s attention
CBS 5 ^

Posted on 07/19/2023 8:08:46 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Arizona was one of seven states where so-called “fake electors” signed paperwork that falsely claimed former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Their hope at the time was that then-Vice President Mike Pence would recognize them when the electoral college met to certify the results. Of course, the events of Jan. 6, 2021, backfired and now fake electors across the country, including here, have attracted the attention of the Department of Justice.

Won't even bother to lecture the usual suspects--they don't care.

And so it begins. As long as Trump had not done any communications with these states, he’s ok. But I have a feeling he’s going to get nailed on conspiracy.

The treasonous bastards have pushed the envelope, and nothing, no ripples of resistance.

They have become emboldened, now they will push to see how far they can actually go.

Their opponents are concerned, don't want to take action that may be perceived as violent, or held illegal by a judge in Hawaii.

It doesn't matter if Trump had any communications with them -- although any communication is likely to have taken place through his campaign team and attorneys.

What these "fake electors" did was totally legitimate, and should never be subject to prosecution. It has happened before in the past -- most notably in the 1960 election when Hawaii actually sent THREE different slates of certified electors (two Democrat, one Republican) to the joint session of Congress in early January 1961 where the electoral votes were formally counted and certified by Congress as requried under the U.S. Constitution.

The progressives are on a full court press attacking Trump and what he stands for from every direction. And every attack on Trump is an attack on every patriotic American. The progressives are relentless.

See my post 6. It is all about them proving that Trump commandeered it all, in 7 states.

"They have become emboldened, now they will push to see how far they can actually go."

Maybe the view should be taken this way:

Napoleon and the Wehrmacht both pushed deep into Russia. It worked until Russian Winter set in.

I can see the day where the parties involved are told "save records of all communications. And by the way, wiping your server with a cloth won't be your ticket out."

How could it be illegal to make s statement you believe Trump won?

And they weren’t “fake” anything they didn’t go there and try to fool anybody.

And the democrats do this as well.

This is way over the top and it is police state stuff.

I dream and wish for that day, but don't see it just yet.

Hope it happens before I need a walker.

1 - they weren’t fake. The electors were selected by the respective legislatures as alternates. You can’t just name yourself as an elector, the states send them. The plan was to have the alternates ready if the courts got a recount through and the state shifted from blue to red.
It’s NOT ILLEGAL.

2 - there’s no “conspiracy” here - you’re being gaslit by communists who are attacking and have been attacking this country since the summer of love of 2020. We are under a full on assault on our Republic and it’s damn time we stood up to this lawlessness that’s destroying our cities our children and AMERICAN way of life.

They signed and sent documents to Congress affirming that they were the rightful electors.

What if they called that signed "paperwork" a petition to the government for a redress of grievances?

"petition to the government for a redress of grievances"

Maybe that's a good question to ask the Jan 6th prisoners.

Apparently the Country is now a one party country, the Democrats have no opposition party, just some Rino’s that go on TV and complain.

Lol, looks like “fake elector” is the talking point of the week distributed by whatever the current successor of the Journ-O-List is.
