Absolutely 100% Trump must be
quickly charged, prosecuted, tried and sentence to a very long jail term – to get
justice and get him off the national stage of his destruction … this story
proves my point with this headline from
Rolling Stone:
“Lawyers Caved to Trump Demands and Encouraged Pence to
Overturn Election in Newly Reported Memos”
Lawyers for Trump wrote
multiple memos advising ways to overturn the 2020 election. They deserve jail time,
too once found guilty.
Two previously unreported
memos, uncovered by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, show how heavily the
administration pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Biden’s
victory.
Reported for the first
time in Karl’s upcoming book, “Betrayal,” covering the final days
of the Trump administration, one memo was authored by Trump campaign
lawyer Jenna Ellis.
It outlined a plan for Pence to overturn the election: On January 6, Pence would reject the electoral votes from the six states Trump claimed (falsely) that he won.
Then Pence would tell the states: “They had until 7 p.m. EST on January 15th to submit a new set of votes, but if they didn’t submit them in time, then no electoral votes can be opened and counted from that state.”
Ellis wrote: “That essentially
would put Trump and Biden in a tie situation, in which case, the decision would
go to Congress. Congress shall vote by state delegation. The delegation vote
would end with a Trump victory” — Ellis believed that because the GOP had
control over 26 state delegations.
A separate memo reported in the
book and authored by Trump advisor John McEntee used a historically inaccurate
argument to push Pence to use his power as vice president to keep Trump in
power.
The memo, titled “Jefferson used
his position as VP to win,” was sent to Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short. These
weren’t the only memos of their kind circulating in Trump land.
Another memo, obtained by The Washington Post’s Bob
Woodward and Robert Costa (in their book “Peril”) was authored by conservative
lawyer John Eastman who laid out a six-step plan for Pence to
toss out the votes from seven states on the grounds that they allegedly had
competing electors, although those competing electors were just Trump
supporters without the necessary authority to vote as electors.
The Eastman memo didn’t come from someone who was working directly for Trump, as the Ellis and McEntee memos did.
These memos emphasize how dedicated Trump was to maintaining his
power, democracy be damned, and how far his lawyers were willing to go to keep
him in the White House.
Karl also reported that Trump
even made a last-minute phone call to Pence the morning of January 6 in a final
effort to convince him to do his bidding.
In a March interview, Trump confirmed to Karl an earlier report that he had urged Pence to undermine
democracy and not certify Biden’s win by saying in his call: “You can either go
down in history as a patriot, or you can go down in history as a pussy.”
My 2 Cents: All these
updates and info from inside the Trump camp shed new life on the crimes of
January 6 now practically a daily basis.
The only thing remaining is full and swift justice.
Isn’t that what the GOP always pursues and screams
about when they are in power? So, why not now with the overwhelming evidence against
their side? Oops...
Kind of hypocritical isn’t
it? Deal with the truth Mr. and Mrs. GOP. What are you afraid of? Trying to run
out the clock is NOT justice – not in America at least.
Thanks for stopping by.
