Another flip
A former lawyer to Donald Trump has pleaded guilty in an election subversion case in the US state of Georgia. Kenneth Chesebro is the third of 19 co-defendants to plead guilty in a deal with Fulton County prosecutors. He is accused of putting forward a slate of fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia and other states to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.
That is, to steal the election. “Overturn” makes it sound vaguely legitimate. It’s important to be very clear and uneuphemistic about this.
Under the plea deals, the former defendants will have to testify under oath in forthcoming trials.
…
His guilty plea can be seen as a victory for Fulton County prosecutors as they continue to build their case against Mr Trump, said Atlanta lawyer Rachel Kaufman.
“The chips are falling and falling on Trump,” Ms Kaufman told the BBC.
“Chesebro pleading guilty and agreeing to testify truthfully against his co-defendants is the biggest blow yet to any defence they’ve been building. Chesebro was like the captain of Trump’s legal team – and was often the only link between Trump and the other co-conspirators,” she said.
Good to know.
Eventually this has to break through to the cultists, that it’s not the media or the “deep state” that are trying to quash his takeover, doesn’t it?
It’s his own people that are making deals. Sometimes I wonder if they would be shaken if even Ivanka were to turn state’s evidence on him.
Oh well for them it’s not about reality.
