    The trials are being sandbagged by republican judges, nobody is actually getting punished for trying to steal the election. They’re gonna do it again.

      That’s happening more with The classified documents case, not with the fake electors.

      Good news, The fake elector charges and trials are actually going through without a hitch, have a lot of defendants informing on co-defendants. Several defendants have already pled guilty, participants are being arrested, more charges are coming, there’s actually a lot going on with this case.

        What about the one in DC run by Judge Chutkan that’s on indefinite hold thanks to the Supreme Court?

        What about the one in Georgia that is on indefinite hold thanks to the Georgia Supreme Court?

        Those seem pretty hitched to me.

          As far as I’m aware, the supreme Court we’re not indefinite.

          The supreme Court is a piece of s*** don’t get me wrong, but I’m pretty sure that trial is still going on.

          And Trump’s lawyer admitted that “private acts of a sitting president are not entitled to immunity”.

          Yeah, so that’s going well.

          Georgia, that one is currently on hold, but it doesn’t negate all of the other ongoing cases against him and none of the charges are going away.

        But who is the defendant in the fake electors trial? This isn’t one where Trump himself is on the docket, right?

          It would be strange if he wasn’t eventually charged since he was definitely part of the plot.

          This is a case that goes across eight states with dozens of defendants, some have already pled guilty, many are working with the prosecutors to provide testimony against peer and higher co-defendants.

          Trump hasn’t been charged yet, but people are still getting charged for the fake electors scheme every month, and since he was on the phone with these people convincing them to forge and mail in the documents, I can’t see why he wouldn’t be charged.

          It’s being investigated right now as to how to charge Trump, since he was personally involved in this scheme.

          He’ll probably be one of the last people charged.

          Especially now that he was already convicted once and it isn’t taboo or anything to charge him with felonies.

          There are so many defendants, this was such a huge conspiracy that most of the trial still haven’t started, and several defendants haven’t been arraigned.

          But it’s going forward!

      Uh… If you don’t want your election stolen, you, uh, you gotta vote. Vote so hard they can’t steal it. Make your friends vote. Make your friends’ friends vote.

      Because if we don’t win this year, we don’t get to have any more elections. No more voting. We’re getting rid of it because your don’t vote good.
