Johnson claimed he didn’t know who had forwarded the lists of fake electors to his office. “I wasn’t involved,” he said, adding, “[There’s] no conspiracy here. This is a complete non-story, guys. Complete non-story.”

Johnson's changing story and deflection begs of a criminal investigation.

What Casey Lucier, the investigative counsel for the commission, discovered is that around noon on January 6, 2021, Johnson chief of staff Sean Riley sent a text message to Chris Hodgson, a top staffer for Pence, in which Riley communicated that “Johnson needs to hand something to VPOTUS please advise.”

“What is it?” asked Hodgson.

Riley replied, “Alternate slate of electors for MI and WI because archivist didn’t receive them.”

“Do not give that to him,” the Pence aide responded.

But Johnson's story kept changing.

There is the undisputed fact that Johnson was willing to go along with the fraudulent elector scheme.

By all accounts, the only reason this particular component of the coup plot wasn’t executed was because Pence’s office refused to go along with it.

“My involvement in that attempt to deliver spanned the course of a couple seconds,” Ron Johnson told the reporter from WISN-TV in an interview that aired in August 2022 on a Sunday.

“I think I fielded three texts and sent two, and talked to my chief of staff that, ‘somebody wants you to deliver something.’ Yeah, I knew nothing about it. And in the end, those electors were not delivered because we found out from the vice president’s staff they didn’t want them delivered. End of story.”

It is sad DOJ is not pursuing Ron Johnson.

During its fourth session, the committee revealed that Johnson and his aides were involved in an attempt to deliver lists of fake electors to Vice President Mike Pence shortly before Congress was scheduled to certify the Electoral College results that would make Joe Biden president.

Fake Elector Plot conspiracy is an independent crime that is sufficient to establish the "corruptly" element (i.e., criminal means requirement) of 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2) [Corruptly Obstruct (or attempt to obstruct) the Joint Session of Congress on J6].

DOJ awaits DC Circuit to issue its opinion on the scope of c2.

Violation of 1512(c)(2) and conspiracy between Trump and Meadows, Giuliani, Chesebro, Eastman to violate c2 implies 1512(k) & 371 conspiracy.
