Special Counsel Subpoenas 5 Key Counties For Trump Comms Around 2020 Election

[berg80]

Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained grand jury subpoenas last month for communications between Trump, his campaign, and top campaign staffers and local officials in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. TPM has reviewed a subpoena issued to the Milwaukee County Clerk, dated Nov. 22.

The subpoenas went to five counties in swing states where the Trump campaign sought to reverse the election results in 2020.
They are Dane County, Wisconsin, Maricopa County, Arizona, and Wayne County, Michigan, the Washington Post reported. TPM confirmed Tuesday that another subpoena was sent to officials in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and received a copy of the subpoena issued to Milwaukee County. Smith, who was appointed by Garland last month, is not known to have issued any subpoenas before this batch of demands.

The subpoenas request any and all communications with the Trump campaign, Trump, and a series of aides that include 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien and attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, and Cleta Mitchell.

I going to make the assumption this has to do with scheme to use slates of fake electors to delay Biden's certification.

So, the First Amendment is no longer in effect. Something the left would indeed be happy with.

This has nothing to do with the first amendment and has to do with Trump trying substitute Biden’s duly elected electors with his own, fake electors.

Perfectly legal prior to the count.

Impersonation and forgery is definitely not legal.

Fake Electors May Provide Easiest Path for DOJ to Charge Trump

As Congressional hearings into Jan. 6 pause for an August break, the focus turns to the US Justice Department, which must decide whether to prosecute former President Donald Trump.

So it's not bad enough the Gestapo FBI under orders from The DemNazi Party Obama, Clinton and Biden illegally spied on the Trump Campaign during the campaign they now want access to Campaign Documents after the campaign is over?

Can someone explain to me in any way shape or form that this is somehow even remotely legal?

 

[Marener]

Indeed there is a law against forging federal documents.

The states do choose the electors and no state chose the fake electors. They chose themselves.

Sortof the way the Democrats tried doing exactly the same thing Jan 6th 2016.

The left specializes in making their actions illegal after they do it themselves.

I’d ask what you are talking about but you don’t even know

Gosh, what a clueless rube you are.

WASHINGTON — Law enforcement officials, members of Congress and the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol are digging deeper into the role that fake slates of electors played in efforts by former President Donald J. Trump to cling to power after he lost the 2020 election.

In recent days, the state attorneys general in Michigan and New Mexico have asked the Justice Department to investigate fake slates of electors that falsely claimed that Mr. Trump, not Joseph R. Biden Jr., had won their states. Representative Mark Pocan, Democrat of Wisconsin, wrote to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on Friday demanding an investigation into the same issue in his state.

And this week, members of the House committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6 riot said that they, too, were examining the part that the bogus electoral slates played in Mr. Trump’s scheme to overturn the election.

“We want to look at the fraudulent activity that was contained in the preparation of these fake Electoral College certificates, and then we want to look to see to what extent this was part of a comprehensive plan to overthrow the 2020 election,” Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland and a member of the committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Jan. 6 Panel and State Officials Seek Answers on Fake Trump Electors

Pressure is mounting on the Justice Department to investigate bogus electors who claimed that Donald J. Trump defeated Joseph R. Biden Jr. in their states.

Very likely.

Actually, Donald Trump considered the Constitution no longer in effect.

And he still does.

 

[g5000]

There is no law against it. Asking states to do it is a states right as the State Legislatures choose the Electors.

Asking states to create fake electors without following state law for the appointment of electors is most certainly against the law, you stupid, stupid, stupid man.

What Trump Did In The Counties That The Special Counsel Subpoenaed​

What distinguishes the five counties known to have been subpoenaed by special counsel Jack Smith is that former President Trump and his campaign filed lawsuits to invalidate the 2020 election results in all of them.

The subpoenas, issued last month by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., but only publicly revealed Tuesday, sought communications between election officials in at least five counties and Trump, his 2020 campaign, and multiple attorneys and staffers affiliated with the re-election effort. It is not known if additional counties were subpoenaed but have yet to disclose it publicly.

What the five counties across three states have in common is that Trump filed suit to reverse the 2020 election results in each of them while his allies reportedly contacted officials in several of the areas.

With the exception of Maricopa County, Arizona, the counties are also heavily Democratic counties in key swing states, and Biden won them handily, which is partly why Trump targeted them in the first place. Biden narrowly won Maricopa County.
