Testimony in a #Michigan court Fri, revealed both #state & #federal investigators continue to probe certificates that falsely claimed #Trump won the #2020election, 5 months before the next election.
On day 4 of prelim examinations for 6 #Republicans who signed the false certificate in MI, MSP Capt Darren Green, said he was interviewed Thurs by the #FBI & 2 US prosecutors from DC.
The latest #doxxing attempt fits a pattern of #threats against people who speak out against Trump.
The addresses & phone numbers of fmr Trump lawyer Cohen's family members were posted to a doxxing website after Trump was #convicted of 34 #felony counts in connection w/a scheme to illegally #influence the #2016election.
#Trump supporters tried to #dox#jurors last week after his #conviction, & they also targeted #prosecutors & the #judge, Justice #Merchan, in the case w/ #threats. During the trial, the mother of a fmr police officer, #MichaelFanone, who was nearly killed on #Jan6, 2021, by rioters who believed Trump's lies about the #2020election was "#swatted" after her son called Trump "an authoritarian" w/ "a violence fetish."
The case has been frozen… since early Dec as a series of courts in Washington have considered an expansive & novel (BS) claim he has raised in his own defense: that he is #immune to all of the charges in the #indictment because he claims they arose from ofcl acts as president.
“The clash between the wife of a conservative #SCOTUS justice & a couple…in their 30s & liberal…played out over months….the…shouting match…at the height of tensions over the #2020election…might have happened in any mixed political community in America.”
Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. announced Wed that he will not recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases at #SCOTUS after Democratic lawmakers questioned whether he could be impartial following reports that an upside-down #flag flew at his home in the weeks after the… [#insurrection].
“As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused,” #Alito wrote in the letter to Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) & Dick Durbin (D-IL).
The #UpsideDownFlag … has become a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement that falsely claims the #2020election was stolen from #Trump.
While the flag was up, the court was still contending w/whether to hear a #2020election case, w/Justice #Alito on the losing end of that decision. In coming wks, the justices will rule on 2 climactic cases involving the storming of the Capitol on #Jan6, incl’g whether #Trump has #immunity for his actions. Their decisions will shape how accountable he can be held for trying to overturn the last presidential election & his chances for re-election in the upcoming one.
@levampyre An upside-down American flag is a #symbol connected with false claims that the #2020election was stolen from #DonaldTrump. Individuals who were indicted and convicted for #insurrection on #jan6 used the upside down flag as a symbol of the #MAGA movement - so this is part of the symbolism used in the anti-democracy movement in America.
A grand jury in #Arizona has indicted 18 of #Trump's closest advisors — including fmr WH Chief of Staff #MarkMeadows & fmr NYC Mayor Rudy #Giuliani. The defendants are accused of being involved in a #FakeElector scheme that sought to keep Trump in office despite his loss in the 2020 election. The indictment alleges that after President Biden won the #2020election, Trump's allies conspired to give AZ's 11 electoral votes to Trump anyway.
> The Republican electors who submitted votes falsely asserting that former President Trump won Arizona in 2020 have been indicted along with several Trump allies,
> Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump's former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani were among seven other unnamed defendants
When we talk about #Trump and his minions, we are talking about people who were willing to lie about the #2020election. We are talking about people who were willing to incite an #insurrection with the intent to stop the peaceful transfer of power. And we’re talking about people whose passion for Trump has only increased with every #indictment. It’s difficult to imagine that there is any line they will not cross.
