Detailed post about fake electors... a recommended read

BumRushDaShow put this together (and obviously made a considerable effort to do so). It's a brilliant and highly informative post, and I think if you check it out, you'll be glad you did.

(I had been considering how the fake electors would argue their way out of their situation. BumRushDaShow posted a crazy-good post about how if these electors argued as I suggested that they might--they'd still be screwed. I'm grateful for the info, and recommend it to anyone who is interested in a detailed analysis of the situation.)

If this is an allusion to the Trump electors in Georgia - DU-folk notoriously do not mention what they blather about - the news I've seen is that several got immunity for testimony and their testimony was a bust, from the Hate-Trumper DA's POV. The electors - not being selected by Georgia voters does not make them fake, but many DU-folk do not understand how the Electoral College works - got immunity knowing they had no information the DA would actually want, !

Defense Attorneys Allege Massive Misconduct In Georgia’s Crumbling Get-Trump Crusade

“At Least Eight Trump Electors Have Accepted Immunity in Georgia Investigation,” headlines uniformly blared on Friday. The legacy outlets echoing that narrative, however, buried the lede, which is that Fulton County’s get-Trump district attorney can’t even find incriminating evidence against the former president when she grants immunity to targets of her criminal investigation. A strong secondary story, also ignored or downplayed by the left-wing media, reveals multiple incidents of alleged misconduct by the D.A.’s office.

The attorney representing eight Republicans targeted by the Fulton County D.A. filed a scathing response on Friday to the D.A. office’s motion to disqualify her from continued representation of her clients. Kimberly Debrow’s 28-page response detailed several previously unknown instances of questionable conduct by prosecutors targeting Donald Trump, his lawyers, and several high-profile Georgia Republicans. And contrary to the misleading headlines of the last several days, Debrow revealed that none of the eight individuals granted immunity “said anything in any of their interviews that was incriminating to themselves or anyone else.”

As a semi-off-topic bonus:

The defense counsel further noted their clients had “grave concerns” that if they testified truthfully “that neither they nor the other electors committed any illegal act or engaged in any sort of conspiracy with regard to the 2020 election the DA and your team would not accept that truth…” The electors thus feared prosecutors would “charge them with perjury or false statements to law enforcement officials or similar after their truthful, immunized testimony merely because the immunized witness is not in a position to tell the DA’s Office or the grand jury the story they want to hear.”

After the electors rejected the prosecutors’ overtures, the D.A.’s office responded by filing a motion to disqualify Pierson and Debrow, which would force the electors to hire new attorneys. In late November 2022, the court held that joint representation was permissible for 10 of the electors but that a conflict of interest required Chairman David Shafer to be separately represented. The electors and their attorneys then decided Pierson would represent Shafer and Debrow would represent the 10 remaining electors, and the court ruled such representation was permissible, over the D.A.’s objections.

Eschewing euphemism, DA Fani Willis' office wants attorney Debrow out of the case because she advised those she represents not to roll over.
