monday we have two massive pieces of nose, special counsel jack smith s investigation into the former president trump s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. one of this is just broken, and this is about this guy. who is not exactly a household name. this is mike roman. he is the director of election day operations for trump s 2020 campaign. you might know him as the guy who ungenerous, sixth try to physically deliver certificates of the fake a lectures from trump s fake electors scheme. to vice president mike pence. and that act, being the bag man trying to deliver the fake electors on january six, to stop the certification of the 2020 election. that is actually a pretty good encapsulation of his larger role in all of this. you see after the election, there was not all that much to do for trump s director of election day operations. so mike romance shifted to a new game, he acted as the go-between, the vote weber of sorts, doing the legwork to get state level officials on
new game, he acted as the go-between, the vote weber of sorts, doing the legwork to get state level officials on board with trump s fake elector plan. and it wasn t the legal mastermind behind the plan, he wasn t the brains of the operation, he was the legs of the operation. yesterday mr. romans deputy in that position, this guy, was spotted meeting with special counsel jack smith s grand jury, tonight the new york times is out with a massive scoop that might make roman himself, in talks to cooperate where jack smith s investigation. sources familiar with the matter tell the new york times tonight, that mr. roman is negotiating a proffer agreement. a trade that is likely some level of legal immunity for testimony. and that is huge, gigantic news all on its own. but it really starts to paint a picture when you combine it with the other major piece of news that broke about this investigation tonight. and in that second story, it s about these guys.
