I find it incredible that of all the issues people tend to focus on, some serious issues get buried by the latest late breaking news of the day -- usually something attention getting headlines scream out -- that in actuality aren't always as important or relevant to subjects as they first appear. This is one of those stories that gets buried, and it ain't one of those that in actuality aren't always as important or relevant to subjects.
Pro-Trump lawyers central to alternate-elector plot settle Wisconsin lawsuit
Two attorneys who advanced a strategy to try to overturn the 2020 presidential election by organizing rosters of Republicans to falsely portray Donald Trump as the winner of several states have reached a legal settlement in Wisconsin with two of the state’s rightful electors and a Democratic voter, ending a lawsuit.

As part of the settlement, the two lawyers — James Troupis, a former Dane County judge who oversaw Trump’s legal efforts in Wisconsin, and Kenneth Chesebro, an architect of the plan to try to invalidate Joe Biden’s win by convening Republican electors in seven states — released a trove of their communications Monday about their work after the 2020 election. The attorneys also agreed to not facilitate or send documents on behalf of future presidential electors who are not certified as true electors — unless there is explicit language that the electoral votes would be counted if legal challenges resulted in changes to electoral outcomes.
Troupis and Chesebro did not admit to liability or culpability for their roles in the elector strategy, records show. Troupis agreed to pay an undisclosed financial settlement to the plaintiffs.
