“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.”
The January 6th Committee has a very big job in front of it and American democracy may rest in the balance. The committee is being stymied at every turn by the former President’s loyalists who see no problem with overturning American elections if their candidate did not come out on top. As a result, the the the fight will be long and arduous but the Committee must prove resilient in the face of intense adversity. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of law and order which should make the path to truth and justice less cluttered with roadblocks.
