Kenneth Chesebro: Pro-Trump lawyer pleads guilty in Georgia election subversion case, implicates Trump in fake elector conspiracy.
—
Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who helped orchestrate the Trump campaign’s 2020 fake electors plot, pleaded guilty Friday in the Georgia election subversion case to being part of a conspiracy alongside former President Donald Trump and others.
The plea deal is another blow to Trump and a major victory for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who charged Trump and 18 others in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. It comes one day after former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell also pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Chesebro pleaded guilty to one felony – conspiracy to commit filing false documents.
Side note: Ken Cheesbro is a BFF of Virginia Ginni 'Gitmo' Thomas

In the battle for the youth vote we now seem to have some clear blue water between the parties;
Labour is (at least at the moment) offering to lower the voting age to 16 - perhaps hoping that 18 year olds will see this as a positive move for their younger siblings?
Meanwhile the Tories are offering mandatory 'national service' at 18 to build character & experience....
Hmmm... while actually, I'm not sure the Tories idea is nuts, I can't see many 18 year olds going for it.
