Co-Conspirator #5 is pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro. Co-Conspirator #6 is unknown. None have been indicted. Yet.

No Election Fraud Found

• Trump claimed 10,000 dead people voted in Georgia. Republican Secretary of State testified this was false.
• Trump claimed there were 205,000 more votes than voters in Pennsylvania. Trump’s AG and Deputy AG testified that this was false.
• Trump claimed there was a suspicious dump of 105,000 votes in Michigan. The AG, Speaker of the house, Majority leader of the Senate testified this was false. (all republicans)
• Trump claimed there was tens of thousands of double votes in Nevada. The SOS testified this was not true as did the Nevada Supreme Court.
• Trump claimed that 30,000 non-citizens voted in Arizona. Trump’s campaign manager and the Speaker of the House testified this was not true.Trump claimed that the voting machines in various states were hacked. His AG, Acting AG, Deputy AG, all testified this was not true.
• Trump paid for a recount in Wisconsin which resulted in more votes for Biden. Trump claimed there were more votes than voters. The AG testified that was not true. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against Trump.

Fake Electors

• Trump and his co-conspirators developed a “fake elector” scheme to marshal individuals who would have served as the Defendant’s electors, only if he was successful in flipping the state in seven targeted states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania,and Wisconsin.
• This turned out not to be true. The fake electors were to be submitted only to create a fake conspiracy and stop the certification.
• State officials were enlisted to provide access the fake electors access to the State Capitols.
• These lists of fake electors were provided to the Senate with help from the Chair of the Republican National Committee.

Illegally Leveraging the Justice System

• Trump wanted to replace the Acting AG with Co-Conspirator #4, Jeffery Clark, and environmental attorney with no experience with criminal law in order for Clark to stop the certification.
• Clark issue a letter to the Acting AG, Deputy AG, demanding they sign it falsely claiming the DOJ had found significant election fraud claims. They refused.
• If Trump had replaced the Acting AG with Clark, he would have sent the letter to the States causing the certification to be stopped.
• On Jan 3 Clark informed the Acting AG that he was accepting the position. The Acting AG
• Trump met with Conspirator 4,the Acting Attorney General,the Acting Deputy Attorney General,theJustice Department’s Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, the White House Counsel,a Deputy White House Counsel, and a Senior Advisor expressing his plan to replace the Acting AG with Clark.
• Trump was advised it would lead to mass resignations of the Justice Department and his own White House Counsel. Trump relented.

Screwing over Pence

• Trump on multiple times told Pence to use his ceremonial powers to overturn the election.
• Pence on multiple times told Trump he did not have the power to do that.
• On Jan 6 Trump falsley claimed at his rally that Pence refused to follow the law. He turned their anger towards Pence
