“#JackSmith has compelled at least 2 Republican fake electors to testify to a federal #GrandJury in Washington in recent weeks by giving them limited immunity, part of a current push by federal prosecutors to swiftly nail down evidence in the sprawling criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election” #Trump #legal #Jan6 1/...

2/ "That activity could signal that investigators are nearing at least some charging decisions in a part of the 2020 election probe...

Prosecutors have played hardball with some of the witnesses in recent wks, refusing to grant extensions to GJ subpoenas for testimony & demanding they comply before end of this month. In situations where prosecutors gave witnesses immunity, spec coun office arrived at courthouse in ready to compel testimony after witnesses indicated ... 5th Amendment"

3/ "The compelled testimony has allowed the special counsel’s office to lock in witness statements and potentially information that other investigators who have looked at the aftermath of the 2020 election couldn’t obtain.

At least one other witness has spoken to investigators in the past two weeks outside of the grand jury with an agreement the person would be protected from potential prosecution.."

4/ "It is not clear if Trump is a target in the fake electors aspect of Smith’s ongoing criminal probe. But in recent months, prosecutors have pursued information about the former president’s words and actions after the 2020 election, including securing court-ordered testimony from his former vice president, Mike Pence.

Prosecutors have also asked multiple witnesses recently about Trump’s actions before, during and after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol..."

5/ "In recent weeks, the special counsel’s office has also shown interest in several members of Trump’s post-election legal team who promoted baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, including his former lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, as well as former Justice Department appointee Jeffrey Clark, who tried to help Trump’s push to use the Department of Justice to overturn the election."

6/ "Prosecutors have also continued to focus on potential financial crimes and money laundering after Trump raised millions of dollars off false claims the election was stolen. One former Trump campaign official who testified this month before the grand jury was asked about specific campaign ads and messaging produced as part of those fundraising activities...

Multiple 2020 election witnesses are scheduled for grand jury appointments in the coming days..."

7/ "The fake electors scheme... now appears to be at the forefront for prosecutors..

The 2 Nevada Trump electors who were given ltd immunity –state GOP Party Chair Michael McDonald & another NV GOP official, Jim DeGraffenreid – both testified last week.

At least 2 more GJ witnesses this wk had insight into fake electors scheme, incl Gary Michael Brown, campaign election day ops official, who had told campn staff he delivered fake elector votes"

@GottaLaff
This is getting better and better! Thank you, Laffy!
@GottaLaff after the > a year delay in investigating trump they should be aggressively going after him, Rudy, Stone, Flynn-
@RiaResists That's what Jack Smith has been doing. For 7 months.
@GottaLaff 3 years later and how many people subjected to unnecessary stress, abuse or violence?
Outlawed abortion may have been prevented, voting restrictions, LGBTQ+ laws, book bans.
Look how much our country & the world has been subjected to bc of the delay.
Justice delayed is Justice denied.
@RiaResists Of course. My point is, Smith is on it.

@GottaLaff Hardball, prepped, and compelled made my day after years of all the fumbled investigations from Mueller on.

@ShrikeTron Smith is my hero right now

@GottaLaff
The 2020 Fake Elector scheme is such a critical fraud that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted. Whether it involves Trump directly of not, anyone who coordinates fraudulent gov documents to change the outcome of an election must be uncovered and sentenced.

At the very least, Guliani, Eastman and more must be held to account for this.

@TCatInReality @GottaLaff Election Fraudulent Electors = Traitors?
@Crystal_Fish_Caves @GottaLaff
I'd prefer a fair trial and, if found guilty, prison.
@TCatInReality Me too, with lots of political and legal suffering. @Crystal_Fish_Caves
