RNC coordinated fake electors at Trump’s ‘direct request’: Ronna McDaniel
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel confirmed that former President Donald Trump was involved in lawyer John Eastman’s fake elector scheme.
During a brief excerpt from her deposition played during the Jan. 6 committee hearing Tuesday, McDaniel explained that Trump called her and put her in touch with Eastman, who then engaged with the RNC about the scheme over the following months.
“He turned the call over to Mr. Eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the RNC helping the campaign gather these contingent electors in case any of these legal challenges that were ongoing changed the result of any of the states. I think more, just helping them reach out and assemble them,” she said. “My understanding is the campaign did take the lead, and we just were helping them in that — in that role.”
Eastman was providing legal advice to Trump’s allies about efforts to challenge the election. The House Jan. 6 select committee has battled Eastman in court for weeks, seeking his emails to gain insights about what advice he had been giving to Trumpworld. Eastman turned over roughly 1,000 pages of emails in April, and the committee ordered that he turn over hundreds more earlier this month.
McDaniel’s testimony before the committee helped members establish the direct role Trump played in the fake elector plot.

Hopefully the consequences are not far behind. I really do get sick of all the trolls continuing to pretend 1/6 never happened.

He is reported to be very angry and even less rational than usual… a difficult feat. I have to think that he’s certifiably mentally unfit

Trump has shown has a remarkable ability to get away with crime, and I fear this time will be no different.

Maybe, maybe not. If he is actually prosecuted, which is doubtful, and found guilty, then maybe the end of Trump.
