Today (1/13/21) the Michigan AG criminally referred, to the US Attorney for Michigan, the fake “electors” who forged electoral certificates as part of an apparent 5-state conspiracy to defraud the United States with respect to the 2020 election. The AG is bound to weigh in

1. He means "bound" in the legal sense, right?

[tblue37]

2. I believe so.

“Obviously this is part of a much bigger conspiracy,” Michigan AG says scheme "may go all the way to the top."

“forgery of a public record, which is a 14-year offense, and election law forgery, which is a five-year offense”

I remember when they tried to get into the capitol while the real electors convened and the guards denied them access.

10. Crystal clear.

20. 5 to 14. Works for me. Indict their corrupt asses. Connect them to the others who planned it.

3. I took it as obligated

N/T

8. Exactly, they must decide who deals with it. MI is saying this looks like a federal case reaching

beyond our jurisdiction. They can still both bring charges against the MI conspirators, but MI can't go arrest people in AZ for doing the same thing.

Here follows an important tweet.

Tribe's tweet really added nothing we didn't already know, but he gets a ton of replies. Sometimes replies can be the best part of Twitter.

5. The referral went to the USA in Michigan. That is who is "bound" by the referral, not AG Garland.

If this Michigan USA finds that the crime encompasses other jurisdictions, then others get involved too. Next it might move to a national assistant AG, the one in charge of criminal matters. If the evidence implicates someone like a #FailedCoupGuy, it will land on AG Garland's desk. My guess, that scenario has already played out. The broader conspiracy also involves domestic terrorism. By now, I imagine a whole building of the nation's top attorneys are busy on this.

7. I think they almost have to act on this.

It wasn't a joke, they knew exactly what they were trying to do, and that it didn't work makes it no less of a crime. A big crime. There's no whataboutism for this. Nothing in history that I know of.

Sadly, they thought they were going to pull it off and President Elect Donald Trump would sweep it under the rug.

[L. Coyote]

9. It was an action in a much larger conspiracy coordinated by #FailedCoupGuy's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani,

and others. They were part of the plan to overthrow the government, but one cog told them to get screwed, VP Pence, President of the Senate, would not use the forgeries.

Note the date on this one and you'll know how long DoJ has been on this case, at a minimum:

Pence knew all this was happening as it was happening, and this was what he did:

14. +1. Pence knew.

23. The states certify their electoral ballot before sending it in

and Congress, in Democratic hands, would never have voted to accept challenges to the originals. Not sure what they were thinking but the only think Pence could have done was bring the certified ballots. Dan Quayle told him that. Otherwise, he's a sleazy slimeball just like everyone else who kisses Trump's rear.

11. Passing even obvious forgeries is a criminal offense.

12. Wow! Lock them up! eom

[monkeyman1]

13. like forging a check to the bank !!!!!!

15. Wasn't there the one (saw video) where actual fake electors...

walked up to the building where the real electors were already inside?

[Frasier Balzov]

16. I believe that was Michigan.

"The electors are already here and they've been checked in."

[electric_blue68]

18. Ah, Yes, that's it. TY. Bunch a lyin' fucks!

[SouthernDem4ever]

21. bunch of morons

They should be investigated to see who was primarily responsible for their total stupidity and lawlessness.

[L. Coyote]

24. One of them said they were working with Rudy Giuliani, #FailedCoupGuy's lawyer.

This is what hapopens when you are one of the kool-aid drinkers, you readily obey the authorities of your delusional world.

22. LOCK UP ALL THE TRUMP criminals. 10 years w/ no parole.

[Mr. Ected]

25. The question is, will the DOJ have the stomach to prosecute and incarcerate some of the big names

of the GOP?

We all know that the low hanging fruit is going down and will suffer greatly for their acts of sedition.

But what about Giuliani Bannon? Stone? What about his cohorts in the executive branch? Congress?

A conspiracy this large will likely touch on hundreds of well-known, high statured Republicans.

Is this a country governed by the rule of law, or is it some kind of hybrid that protects the rich and powerful and saves its justice for the stupid lackies that follow the instructions of their misguided leaders?
