Email to Giuliani reveals plan to keep Trump in office on Jan. 6, court records show

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-news-giuliani-kenneth-chesebro-email-plan-january-6/

In the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, an attorney with ties to the Trump campaign was circulating a memo with plans to block the certification of the Electoral College votes during the joint session of Congress, court records reveal.

Attorney Kenneth Chesebro sent an email to former New York Mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Dec. 13, 2020, with detailed plans that would put then-Vice President Mike Pence and Senate president pro tempore Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in central roles in the Congress' joint session. The email's subject line read, "Brief notes on 'President of the Senate' strategy."

Grassley suggests he may preside over Senate debate on Electoral College votes


https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2021/01/05/grassley-suggests-he-may-preside-over-senate-debate-on-electoral-college-votes/


Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said he would preside over the U.S. Senate debate surrounding disputes of the 2020 election results if Vice President Mike Pence does not show up.

He suggested Pence was not expected to attend but Grassley’s staff later said that was a “misinterpretation” and that Pence was expected to be there.
Hmmmmmmmm! Misinterpretation my ass.
As we say story come to bump.
