Trump campaign's scramble to smuggle fake ballots revealed in interviews

Trump campaign went to great lengths to overturn the 2020 election.

In a stunning revelation, new recordings and emails obtained by an anonymous source shed light on the extent to which the Trump campaign went to try to overturn the 2020 election. One of the key figures under investigation, Ken Chesbrough, a pro-Trump attorney, recently spoke with Michigan prosecutors and provided crucial details about the events leading up to January 6th.

Chesbrough described a frantic last-minute scramble, indicating that individuals higher up within the campaign, including lawyers affiliated with the Trump campaign, were involved in the effort. The focus of this operation was to deliver fake ballot certificates to Washington D.C. in time for then-Vice President Mike Pence to potentially use them the following day.

This revelation challenges the commonly held belief that these fake certificates were simply mailed. Chesbrough explained to prosecutors that these documents encountered numerous setbacks during transit, leading to fears of them being lost. As a result, an email exchange emerged between Chesbrough and a fellow campaign affiliate, discussing the possibility of chartering a flight at 11 p.m. on January 4th, just two days before the critical January 6th deadline.

Fake elector ballots were rushed to D.C. on the eve of January 6th.

In a race against time, electoral certificates from Wisconsin and Michigan were ultimately transported by individuals aboard commercial flights to reach D.C. To ensure their safekeeping, they were delivered to personnel at the Trump Hotel before being handed over to individuals working alongside members of Congress. This operation required a high-level decision and also involved enlisting the help of a U.S. senator to expedite the process.

The shocking details provided by Chesbrough's testimony highlight the extraordinary lengths the Trump campaign went to in their bid to overturn the election results. The involvement of key campaign personnel and the utilization of a U.S. senator demonstrate the gravity of the situation.

These revelations are sure to have far-reaching implications, as investigations into the Trump campaign's actions on January 6th continue. The recordings and emails obtained provide a clearer understanding of the extent of the planning and coordination behind this audacious scheme.

As the investigation proceeds, the focus will undoubtedly shift to ascertain the responsibilities and level of knowledge of those within the Trump campaign. The implications of these findings also raise questions about the potential legal ramifications for individuals involved in the conspiracy to subvert the electoral process.

This latest revelation underscores the importance of continued investigations into the events leading up to January 6th and serves as a reminder of the fragility and resilience of democratic institutions. As the truth continues to emerge, the country awaits further developments in this extraordinary chapter of American history.
