Former Trump lawyer pushing to decertify 2020 election...still

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Eastman, a right-wing lawyer who drafted a plan for former President Donald Trump to cling to power by falsely claiming then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject legitimate electors during the 2020 presidential election, was part of a small group of Trump allies who secured a private meeting last month to try and convince the Republican leader of the Wisconsin state Assembly to decertify President Joe Biden’s win, multiple sources familiar with the meeting told ABC.

On March 16, Eastman and others spent nearly two hours behind closed doors pressuring Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to nullify the 2020 election and reclaim the electors awarded to Biden, the sources said, which legal experts say is impossible.

Eastman in the meeting urged Vos to decertify the election, sources familiar with the meeting said. According to Jefferson Davis, a Wisconsin activist pushing to reverse Biden’s victory who was also in the meeting, Trump’s former lawyer pushed Vos to start “reclaiming the electors” and move forward with “either a do over or having a new slate of electors seated that would declare someone else the winner."

When reached for comment, Eastman said in a statement to ABC News, "By explicit request from Speaker Vos, that meeting was confidential, so I am not able to make any comment."

1. We are doing a GREAT dis-service to our society......

by allowing that man out in public........

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Well, that's not going to persuade a jury of his innocence at his trial. Nt

3. Lordy! I hope there's a trial. nt

11. One red hat on the jury

is all they need.

12. They've been securing numerous convictions of insurrectionists, as most of the trials are in DC.

I would think they would have similar outcomes in prosecuting coup architects.

13. I thought most of these were plea deals.

Look at Michigan last week to see the challenges of a jury trial.

15. Michigan juries are a different set of peers than DC juries.

There have been a number of guilty verdicts rendered by juries in January 6 cases, including one today of a former cop,

Wisconsin's Republican legislators, led by Rep. Vos, have spent nearly $200,000 of our taxpayer dollars to spread lies about our elections.

That amount of money could be spent on lead remediation and the creation of good paying clean energy jobs.

6. This is treason and should be treated as such.

[spanone]

7. ...and the coup goes on.

it ain't over folks.

8. I heard that Vos

supposedly threw cold water on that idea, although he is still clinging to the big lie/election 2020 denierism, as all Republicans, I guess, are going to have to do in order to even be nominated/win (re-)election.

10. Can't be politics as normal until this is stopped.

It's certainly understandable that Biden wants to restore normalcy. You can't until you confront,weed out, and stop this crap...

14. Nobody else is gonna comment that one of the guys pushing this nonsense is named

Jefferson fucking Davis?!?!
I mean, how much more treason-y can you fucking get lol?

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. It leapt out at me too when I was reading it

You have to ask what his parents were thinking. Thousands of names to put before "Davis", and they chose the uncommon "Jefferson" ... and look how he turned out.

Interesting piece. Seems like there is a rift going on here. https://www.wqow.com/news/politics/gableman-vos-plans-to-shut-down-election-review-by-end-of-month/article_2ee0c36c-627c-5507-9ba6-c266b2edc9a2.amp.html
