Requiem for a scandal

REQUIEM FOR A SCANDAL. Nearly four years ago, on Jan. 18, 2022, this newsletter wrote about a frenzy that was sweeping the anti-Trump world. It had to do with a novel theory regarding the 2020 presidential election dispute. From the newsletter:

Here’s the short version: Trump supporters in a few states — Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, and New Mexico — were so brazen that in the days before Dec. 14, 2020, when the Electoral College voted to confirm [former President] Joe Biden’s victory, they actually forged documents falsely purporting to be Electoral College results for [President Donald] Trump and sent them to the appropriate authorities in Washington and in their home states. They then planned to use the forgeries to steal the election on Jan. 6, 2021. All the while, they hoped no one would notice.

It was a crazy theory, for a number of reasons discussed below. But the notion of so-called "fake electors" would not only consume Resistance World, but would spread among Democratic officials in the justice system and become a key part of the anti-Trump indictments of 2023 and 2024.

Now it has all fallen apart. With the recent withdrawal of the case originally brought by the disgraced prosecutor Fani Willis in Georgia, the theory that sparked so much excitement on the anti-Trump fringe is finally dead. What is remarkable is that the glaring flaws in the "fake electors" theory were obvious all along. It just took this long for the wheels of justice to turn.

After Willis was taken off her own case following the disgrace of her top deputy, Georgia officials faced a daunting question: Who wants to pick up this prosecution and run with it? It turned out nobody did, and the case eventually ended up in the hands of the non-partisan head of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, Peter Skandalakis. Last week, Skandalakis released a carefully argued 22-page memo supporting his decision to drop the Willis case altogether.

It's a good article and if you have time you should go take a look.

The pertinent Presidential election was in November 2020.

The Electoral College voted in December 2020.

The House certified LIEden as President in early January 2021.

Tick ... tick ... tick ... a year or a year and a half or nearly two years pass, and suddenly this "novel theory" (the WashEx's word choice) crop's up in 2022. Why the delay? Why wasn't this investigated and charged in spring 2021? Did something - e.g. it became obvious Trump would run in 2024 - happen in 2022? To ask is to answer?
