Michigan Charges 16 False Trump Electors.
“Michigan’s attorney general filed forgery and other felony charges Tuesday against 16 Republican activists who signed papers after the 2020 election falsely indicating they were the duly appointed presidential electors for the state.
The case filed by Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, represents the first criminal charges related to efforts by allies of former President Donald Trump to designate alternate slates of electors. The scheme would ultimately become the basis for Trump’s last-ditch bid to remain in power, an effort to create a contest or crisis when Congress met to tally up the Electoral College votes and certify Joe Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump used the existence of those “competing” slates of electors to pressure his vice president, Mike Pence, to block Biden’s election.”
The Attorney General of Michigan took decisive action to bring the individuals in her state that she feels are responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election to justice. If the charges stick will be up to the jury absent a plea deal but the Trump 2020 election saga continues to unfold and ensnare more people in its wake. Everyone is now waiting for special counsel Jack Smith to make the next move on deciding whether or not to indict Trump. Washington and the news media cannot get enough of the continued palace intrigue that keeps coming fast and furious as if the former President is still in the palace!
