Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul unveiled charges on Tuesday against three people who helped devise and implement the 2020 fake electors scheme, docket sheets show.
The hammer needs to come down on all of these traitors. It needs to be crystal clear that the MAGA movement is anathema to the rule of law, the sense of decency and the moral compass of this nation.
I have no idea what AG Josh Kaul is doing. After 3.5 years of near silence, he comes with these fairly skinny charges. I have responded to every one of his campaign emails lambasting him for not doing anything. I guess we will see if this is for real…but it doesn’t hurt the people it needs to hurt (to borrow a RW mantra).
The real effect this could have had for the '22 election was to hold the entire R party, and the entire WI R ecosystem up for examination and keep them all in the news and battling charges that they were traitors, forgers, insurrectionists, and attempted to disenfranchise every man, woman, and child in the state. All the top R luminaries, scrambling and lawyering up and fending off reporters…for 3.5 years. Now THAT has an effect and hurts the people that need hurting.
ETA: Including Ron Johnson who was playing courier for these fuggs and schlepping the fraudulent elector certs into the U.S. Capitol.
Gosh, it seems like it was just months ago that the Chese was taking Josh’s calls and giving him all kinds of scoops. I guess maybe he finally figures he’s in some hot water.
H/T as always to @joshkovensky for his excellent reporting.
So the forged electors are being charged in
Georgia
Arizona
Michigan
Wisconsin
I think I heard that Pennsylvania and Nevada law don’t have statutes that allow for prosecution. What states are left to prosecute? Everyone sure has taken their sweet time for something that’s black and white and documented.
My understanding is that the Pennsylvania fake electors, and perhaps those in Nevada too, were smart enough to include a clause that their electoral certificates would be valid only if the prior vote count in favor of Biden in their states was overturned. In the other states where fake electors have been indicted, those certificates falsely stated that they were the true certificates from the states.
I can’t speak to whether there were any forged Secretary of State signatures for Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Another 3 fucked by Trump’s reverse Midas touch. Rack up 3 more careers ended and lives shut down. And guess who doesn’t give a shit? Folks say it’s a cult and they must be right. These guys are attorneys and they thought this a working plan. Something that could be pulled off clean? That’s the mind rot of a cult.
