The House select committee's report on Jan. 6 provides an expanded roadmap for Georgia prosecutors investigating the efforts of former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election, spelling out details of an extraordinary pressure campaign on state officials, including 'racist' attacks on local election workers.
House Select Committee to Investigate The January 6th Attack On The U.S. Capitol Holds Final Meeting
“We were just useful idiots or rubes at that point,” said Sinners, who played a role in setting up a meeting on Dec. 14, 2020, at the Georgia state Capitol, where the fake pro-Trump electors met in secret and anointed themselves the true electors from Georgia, despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
“While Raffensperger did not know for certain whether President Trump was threatening such an investigation, he knew Trump had ‘positional power’ as President and appeared to be promising to 'make [my] life miserable,'” the report states, citing Raffensperger’s own account in a book he wrote. "Not only were Giuliani's claims about Freeman and Moss reckless, racist, and false, they had real-world consequences that turned both women's lives upside down," the report states,about how they lived in fear as a result and how Freeman, upon the FBI's advice, had to flee her home.
As outlined in the report, the fake elector scheme was pushed by one of Trump’s lawyers, Kenneth Chesebro, in three memos to the campaign on Nov. 18, Dec. 9 and Dec. 13, 2020. In the first memo, Cheseboro argued that alternative electors could be named in Wisconsin as a means of preserving the campaign’s options in the event of a favorable court ruling later throwing out the state election results declaring Biden the winner.
