[L3: MEMO: ATTORNEY SPEARHEADED ELECTORS SCHEME TO OVERTURN 2020 ELECTION]
KENETH CHESEBRO WAS A LITTLE-KNOWN ATTORNEY BEFORE HIS NAME BECAME SYNONYMOUS WITH THE “FAKE ELECTORS SCHEME” THAT IS A MAJOR PART OF THE DOJ’S JANUARY SIXTH CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
CHESEBRO WAS A VOLUNTEER LAWYER FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WHO – ACCORDING TO MEMOS RELEASED BY THE JANUARY SIXTH COMMITTEE – SPEARHEADED A MASTER-PLAN TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION BY USING ALTERNATE ELECTORS TO SHIFT THE ELECTORAL VOTE COUNT IN TRUMP’S FAVOR.

[L3: NYT: CHESEBRO KNEW PLAN WAS ‘LIKELY’ UNCONSTITUTIONAL]
NOW – THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS UNCOVERED ANOTHER MEMO OUTSIDE OF WHAT THE JANUARY SIXTH COMMITTEE PUBLICLY RELEASED.
WRITTEN BY CHESEBRO AND SENT TO ANOTHER TRUMP LAWYER – CHESEBRO ADMITS THE PLAN IS BOLD – AND IF IT WERE TO MAKE ITS WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT – THE JUSTICES WOULD LIKELY RULE AGAINST IT.
BUT – CHESEBRO SAYS EVEN IF IT WERE “LIKELY” DISMISSED –
IT WOULD STILL CAST ENOUGH DOUBT ON THE ELECTION RESULTS AND BUY THE PRESIDENT MORE TIME TO FIGURE OUT NEXT STEPS.
