QOTD -- Trump's Conspiracy To Defraud The U.S.

 

"On December 4, 2020, President Trump and his attorneys alleged in a Georgia state court action that Fulton County improperly counted a number of votes including 10,315 deceased people, 2,560 felons, and 2,423 unregistered voters. 69 President Trump and his attorneys then decided to contest the state court proceeding in federal court, 70 and discussed incorporating by reference the voter fraud numbers alleged in the state petition. On December 30, 2020, Dr. Eastman relayed “concerns” from President Trump’s team “about including specific numbers in the paragraph dealing with felons, deceased, moved, etc.” 71 The attorneys continued to discuss the President’s resistance to signing “when specific numbers were included.” 72  [snip]

"President Trump and his attorneys ultimately filed the complaint with the same inaccurate numbers without rectifying, clarifying, or otherwise changing them. 74 President Trump, moreover, signed verification swearing under oath that the incorporated, inaccurate numbers “are true and correct” or “believed to be true and correct” to the best of his knowledge and belief. 75

"The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public. The Court finds that these emails are sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States."  -- U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, in his ruling yesterday requiring Malignant Loser lawyer John Eastman to turn over certain documents to the January 6 select committee proving that the Malignant Loser knew he was attesting to false information in court documents filed in Georgia.  We know the Fulton County, GA, district attorney is on this;  how about you Merrick Garland?
