and members of his inner-most circle. we re talking about the slates of fake electors set up in battleground states. they set up as the spark for the rest of the plan as conceived by john eastman. from the very beginning from when the plan was first conceived days after the november election, attorneys for the trump campaign were well aware of the fact that their plan for slates of fake electors was how should we put it fake. the new york times reported on emails from trump lawyers that say this, quote, we would just be sending in fake electoral votes to pence so someone in congress can make an objection when they start counting votes and start arguing that the they need to be counted. he wrote that on december 8, 2020 in an email to boris epshteyn, an advisor for the trump campaign. in a followup email, the same guy, mr. will len chick wrote that alternative votes is probably a better term, a better word than fake votes. he added a smiley face emoji. the plan quickly g

Particular filing by the trump team . With regard to the judge in d. C. . Yeah. I think will be rejected by the judge for sound reason, legal point, and i think it will be sustained on any appeal that he may decide to take. It is interesting, though for, people at home. Judge chutkan herself will be the one to decide whether she refuses or not. How does that make sense if you are just a layman at home .

Were building a wall. Hes a mexican. Were building a wall between here and mexico. The answer is he is giving us very unfair rulings. And by the way, that trudge is from indiana, not mexico. And tonight, to add to that list, the judge overseeing the federal Election Interference Case as to the list, trumps lawyers demanding that judge Tanya Chutkan recuse herself over comments shes made about the january 6th insurre
