Trump fake elector prosecutions could soon ensnare members of Congress

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON – The justice system is closing in on former President Donald Trump, and soon, some expect that dragnet will ensnare elected members of Congress. I've gotten nothing,” Sen. Ron Johnson – who allegedly tried to pass Wisconsin fake electors to Pence — told Raw Story at the Capitol. “There’s nothing to come after me for.” Sen. Ron Johnson Johnson also dismissed the fake elector case in Michigan as “absurd.” Rep. Scott Perry – chairman of the House Freedom Caucus – also brushed aside concerns and said he hasn’t been contacted. “No,” Perry – who the January 6 select committee flagged to the House Ethics Committee for refusing to sit for an interview – told Raw Story while walking to the Capitol. He dubs the “criminal scheme” to send slates of fake electors to Congress the “Wisconsin Memo.” “The plan began in early December,” the indictment reads, “and ultimately, the conspirators and the Defendant’s Campaign took the Wisconsin Memo and expanded it to any state that the Defendant claimed was “contested” — even New Mexico which the Defendant had lost by more than ten percent of the popular vote.” The indictment then quotes a Dec. 6 email from former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that accompanied the Wisconsin Memo.
