Yeah, classic wingnut mistake. It's always the coverup! Lawyer Ken Chesebro told Michigan investigators looking into the fake elector plot he engineered that he didn't have a social media presence when he not only had one, it was quite a bit more subversive than his public statements. Since this was a proffer agreement, lying puts the whole deal in jeopardy. Via CNN:
Chesebro claimed to investigators he saw the alternate slates of Republican electors only as a contingency plan to have ready in case the Trump campaign won any of its more than 60 lawsuits challenging the election results — which it didn’t. He also told Michigan investigators that in his conversations with the Trump campaign, he made clear that “state legislatures have no power to override the courts.”
But just days after the 2020 election, BadgerPundit tweeted that the court battles didn’t matter and that Republican-controlled legislatures should send in their own GOP electors, predicting even then that then-Vice President Mike Pence could use them to throw the election to Trump.
