The attorney who penned memos arguing that the Trump campaign should create fake slates of electors after losing the 2020 election will appear before a Georgia grand jury later this month.
Kenny “limburger” Chesebro gonna do some 5th-pleadin’, methinks.
And then, he may get an immunity offer from Wallis, to tell all…
representing the Trump campaign in Wisconsin and before the Supreme Court
With a name like Chesebro there just had to be a connection to Wisconsin somewhere
I look for many of these fake electors to individually claim they didn’t think their votes would be conveyed to the National Archives or Pence unless lawsuits at the state level legally invalidated the previous electors chosen after the election. Their alternate votes were hijacked by persons out of their control, and they were lied to or the process was misrepresented.
Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.
Now do Cleta Mitchell.
Won’t work. He’s got federal criminal peril, and the state DA can’t immunize him for that.
This from the article is total bull:
“Chesebro, a former assistant to liberal lion and Harvard Law Professor Larry Tribe,”
Not knowing what a liberal lion is, it is certainly not Larry Tribe, who is above all else Constitutional Lawyer. Noting that facts often have a bias, Tribe factually provides the meaning of the U.S. Constitution.
Which level of Justice will he get?
The rich folk’s version or the poor-folk’s version?
Seems as if they are starting right off the bat with indulgences any street hood would never be afforded, at the most fundamental level.
The guy committed felonies.
Plain and simple. He should have to face some leverage, at least, to get him to cough up the story.
Whether our “Justice” system acts on the truth of it is always the question, truth isn’t their issue anymore, political points have replaced it of late.
Somewhat off-topic (but one could argue they are all related) is the issue of misrepresentation or mislabeling of events and/or reality to further a political agenda:
I like the comment on TPM where federal legislation should be passed stating it will be a federal crime to mislead voters on who is eligible, where they can vote, how they can vote, etc. Would need some teeth though as I think we do need to clean house at the municipal and state levels.
I gotta suppose none of these Trumpsters are gonna want the arresting officers to be too careful of their heads when they put them in the patrol car.
ISTR that, although a couple were tweaked a little, all the fake elector documents shared the same language and format and there was some speculation they all came from the same source. Wonder if that source was Chesebro’s word processor.
This was in his Linkedin page:
Harvard Law SchoolHarvard Law School
Doctor of Law - JDDoctor of Law - JD 1983 - 19861983 - 1986
- Editor, Harvard Law Review (co-chair of Supreme Court office; member of Articles office). Teaching assistant in first-year writing courses for Professors David L. Shapiro and David Rosenberg; researcher on litigation and scholarly projects for Professor (later Dean) Martha Minow and Professor Laurence H. Tribe.
Of course, that was a long time ago. Look at Peter Navarro’s transformation.
The coup is ongoing. Did not stop on Jan 6.
Almost 45 years ago — seems like forever — I came across Tribe’s work for a MA thesis I was writing on an aspect of international law. His writings were so clear, logical, and compelling, that his work quickly became one of the major sources for the paper.
Based on that experience, it is puzzling, and a mystery to me, how anyone with half a brain, or conscience, could take classes from Tribe and end up being so amoral and anti-Constitutional as Chesebro.
Wasn’t she on the call with Trump when he asked Raffensperger to find 11,00+ votes? Seems like Ms Mitchell has some explaining to do.
That’s not how constitutional law works. There is no such thing as “the meaning.” And the one and only time I observed Larry Tribe in a courtroom, he got his ass handed to him by SCOTX in a case where he was representing the big money corporate interest.
This is Chesebro’s chance to co-operate. Let’s see what he does
OT, but another literary lion has died. I remember reading John Adams. I couldn’t put it down.
Which is of course bullshit, they knew exactly what they were doing. But it will be difficult to prove unless one of the idiots babbled about in social media or emails. They should all be praying that none of the fake electors gets cocky and starts claiming and goes to represent himself to Grand Jury claiming that they were doing to “Constitutional” thing and shit.
Seems like a situation ripe with plausible deniability.
