of the proud boys and oath keepers were at the forefront of the attack. there s a host of details in the 800 plus report including how john eastman first contacted donald trump at the white house to fill trump in on his plan to get pence to overturn the election. pence refused to do that. also how a little known attorney kenneth cheeseboro came up with the plot to appoint fake electors to say trump won in those states. that fake elector plot is what is being investigated by state prosecutors, including in georgia. and those prosecutors from the special counsel s office, they have served subpoenas to election officials in several battleground states as part of the ramped up investigation. the committee ramping up its report that s a long way to go on the criminal side.
