Mary McCord:ICAP在威斯康星州针对10名虚假选举人和两名律师(James Troupis和Kenneth Chesbrough)的民事诉讼中胜诉。该案旨在阻止虚假选举人的行为,并获得更多关于2020年大选干预计划的证据。和解协议中,被告提供了约1400封电子邮件和短信,揭示了两人在虚假选举人计划中的重要作用,以及计划的早期策划和执行过程。这些证据显示,该计划旨在通过向迈克·彭斯施压,从而将选举结果推翻,并直接导致了1月6日的暴力事件。Chesbrough事后试图淡化其在虚假选举人计划中的作用,但邮件内容揭示了其真实意图。该案的胜诉以及公开的证据,对于理解2020年大选干预计划至关重要。 Andrew Weissman:最高法院就科罗拉多州总统候选人资格案做出了全票裁决,但裁决背后可能存在分歧。关于虚假选举人的辩论在于,一些选举人可能没有刑事责任,因为他们认为自己是备选选举人,只有在诉讼胜诉的情况下才会被启用。公开的邮件显示,Kenneth Chesbrough事后试图淡化其在虚假选举人计划中的作用,而邮件内容则揭示了其真实意图。最高法院的裁决认为,单一州无权将总统候选人从选票上除名,这与联邦主义原则相符。但裁决在细节上存在分歧,部分法官认为多数派意见走得太远,并试图为特朗普提供便利。检察官杰克·史密斯可能因为审判日期延迟而对更多与1月6日事件相关的个人提起诉讼。

Veteran prosecutors analyze the fraudulent electors scheme in Wisconsin, discussing the litigation against James Troupis, Kenneth Chesebro, and the 'alternate' electors, and the implications of the evidence made public.

Shownotes Transcript

After the settlement in Wisconsin over the fraudulent electors scheme, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord analyze the importance of what came to light as a result of the litigation against James Troupis, Kenneth Chesebro and 10 ‘alternate’ electors. Mary was part of the team arguing the case and gives expansive context to the ongoing efforts to overturn the 2020 election. They then turn to the Supreme Court’s decision on the Colorado ballot issue, and why, despite a unanimous vote, there may be dissension in the ranks. And they wrap up with a look at the timing of the Florida documents case and Trump’s former CFO Allen Weisselberg’s guilty plea on federal perjury charges.
