Michigan Has The Trump Fake Elector Smoking Gun Emails

One of the elements that were missing in the public reporting about the Trump fake elector plot was direct evidence that the Trump campaign was running and directing the state plots to send fake slates of electors to Congress in a bid to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump is facing federal and state criminal charges related to his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

There was always public suspicion that the plot was being run by the Trump campaign, and for the first time it is now publicly known that there is evidence pointing to the Trump campaign orchestrating the plot in Michigan.

The Detroit News reported:

Then-President Donald Trump's campaign directly orchestrated the filing of a certificate, signed by 16 Michigan Republicans, that falsely claimed he won the state's 2020 election, according to internal campaign emails obtained by The Detroit News.

The documents, which have become part of Attorney General Dana Nessel's ongoing investigation into the slate of false electors, showed that Trump's campaign staff helped coordinate the Republicans' gathering inside state party headquarters on Dec. 14, 2020. Then, Trump's team prepared the official mailing of the false certificate to Vice President Mike Pence and the National Archives, according to the emails.

The Trump campaign objective was to claim that the election was rigged, prevent the results from being counted, and throw the election into the House, where Trump could have been handed a second term.

The Trump campaign and the Republican Party were lying about the source of the plot, and we will discuss below what that should mean for Donald Trump in Michigan.
