Oh, true that.
We agree. He can have an opinion and freely express it. And he did.
However, as mentioned earlier, the distinction that makes a difference is: The submission of fraudulent ballots accompanied by affidavits that they are the true and proper ballots as certified by the sitting governor, well, that was illegal.
(See the actual indictment, available on several on-line sites.)
That's bad juju for John Eastman (as recent rulings have shown); that's bad juju for Don Trump, as his indictment indicates; and bad for the other attorneys administering the scheme; and for the dozens of "fraudulent electors" themselves.
As reported: "
"After the 2020 election, Republicans in seven states that Trump had lost created their own slates of pro-Trump electors to compete with the official state slates of pro-Biden electors.
They falsely declared that Trump had won and that they were the true electors. Some of them signed official-looking documents purporting to be the real electors. Many of them tried to show up to their state capitols on Dec. 14, 2020, the day the legitimate electors met to cast their votes."
--------------------------------------------------
See, once the tallies of election day votes are completed, combed through by township, county, or precinct supervisors and affirmed to be true tallies, the governor of the state signs off (certifies) it is a true count. At that point, true and legal electors are empowered to meet and cast their ballots for the confirmed winner.
To submit...falsely.....that one is a true elector after that certification.....is breaking the law. Most especially, if the false-elector signed an affidavit; most especially if the fraudulent ballots have been submitted to Congress or its designate.
All that occurred. And it was illegal.
And karma comes.
Hope I am clear on that.
