Leaked witness testimony from pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro allegedly reveals how the former president’s aides scrambled to overturn the 2020 election

Donald Trump’s campaign team physically flew “fake elector” ballots across the country to Washington DC in a last-ditch effort to overturn the 2020 election, a new report claims.

According to CNN, leaked witness testimony from a Michigan state investigation shows how Mr Trump’s aides scrambled to deliver the allegedly fraudulent paperwork to vice president Mike Pence before he could certify the election results.

The so-called “fake electors” plot hinged on the fact that American presidents are not directly elected by the people, but rather by 538 “electors” who are selected by their states based on the outcome of the vote.

Mr Trump’s team allegedly pressured state legislators to ignore the vote and choose their electors by fiat. When that did not work, they assembled their own group of electors with no legal standing and pushed vice president Mike Pence to accept it instead of the real ones.

    pizza gate isn’t real, but Epstein was definitely real and had a lot of victims and a lot of clients…
    one of them happens to be a professional prince…

      Yes but the original comment was very explicitly referring to pizza gate, not just the nebulous idea of powerful people being also terrible

        the original comment was very explicitly referring to the fact that pizzagate wasn’t real

      Bro none of Epstein’s underage prostitutes, which is severely fucked up to even type, were tortured to death so that rich people could eat their fear, because pizzagate is not real.

      Also fun fact to share with any QAnon people you may know - you can just buy adrenochrome wholesale because it’s a waste product of EpiPen production and it’s pretty cheap.

      Again, child sex trafficking is very real and is terrible. Hillary Clinton also did not wear a child’s face in a satanic ritual to stay young, because that’s insane and she is very old.

        i just said it isn’t real… i don’t know why you’re explaining to me that it’s not, but yes i know.
        and i know about the adrenochrome, but it’s in fear and loathing in las vegas, so people will stick with it.
        furthermore, although the blood drinking thing is pretty stupid, any other chemical could be the imaginary psychoactive fear hormone anyways…

        they also eat zombie pituitary glands in Fear of the Walking Dead, to get high…
        the really dumb thing in pizzagate was the list of food -> sex trafficking code words… it was supposedly an FBI document but just was clearly fake. Podesta was definitely a foodie but it was just so dumb.
        It did, however, get Epstein put back in jail, so kinda a silver lining. There was some conspiracy, for him to not be in jail. But probably just ol’ bribery or blackmail and no child eating.
        there’s still more conspiracies connected to it.
        if anything, pizzagate was put forward to make it hard to discuss actual suspicious things related to epstein and people connected to him.
        p.s. epstein didn’t kill himself
