'Everybody knows he's lying': Morning Joe shreds Ron Johnson's defense after he's snared in Trump's conspiracy

Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and conservative attorney George Conway aren't buying Sen. Ron Johnson's excuses about his participation in a conspiracy to deliver fake electors to vice president Mike Pence. But this whole fake elector thing, I mean, it's -- it really is highlighting the fact that this is, you know, criminal fraudulent conspiracy to create false documentation and you have -- you can't hand out counterfeit bills to people saying, well, the bank made a mistake, so this would be real money if the bank hadn't made a mistake. "He was conspiring to commit -- to throw in false documents," Conway added, "and it's sort of interesting, too, because you have Rudy saying, we've got all of these legal theories, but no evidence, and then you have a judge out in California, Judge Carter saying this was a coup in search of legal theory. RELATED: Latest Jan. 6 hearings expose 'inherent tension in MAGA land': George Conway Johnson claims that an unspecified House intern gave his office an envelope containing fraudulent elector documents and asked his staff to pass it along to Pence on Jan. 6, 2021, but Scarborough -- a former Republican member of the House -- said that explanation strains credibility.
