Both happened imo, Susan. There were fake electoral ballots they tried to get into

the Capitol to be counted and

and the insurrection was to

stop the count of the good

ballots and keep Trump in

office. The aides were smart

to grab the ballot boxes when

they vacated.

I'd thought about that. But the through-line to trump is less clear on those--he didn't do the handing--than it is for the incitement on 1/6 and the attempted suborning of Pence.

Susan, look at Politico under Legal. It has an article on this

very topic of Chesebro.

I think there's a through-line

with Chesebro. Talking Points

Memo was able to get all sorts of evidence and hundreds of his emails from

Michigan. He was in touch

with Trump's attorneys about

the fake ballots. Someone

I tried to deliver a batch to

the Capitol on J6. Chesebro

was at the J6 filming himself

and talking on phone to someone. I know he's in big

legal trouble and is giving up

a lot of previously unknown

stuff.

Chesebro is co-conspirator #5 in Jack Smith's indictment

of Trump.
