Trump outran the law. His allies haven’t.

Politico  

The two most broad and perilous cases, in Arizona and Georgia, allege Trump helped direct a sweeping plot to overturn his loss to Joe Biden. In April, a grand jury indicted 18 people, including former chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorney Rudy Giuliani and longtime adviser Boris Epshteyn, who is playing a central role in shaping Trump’s incoming administration. Already, the state has netted the guilty plea of a GOP activist who posed as a legitimate presidential elector despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state — the first such plea for any of the dozens of false electors facing criminal charges across the country. Wisconsin Three architects and implementers of Trump’s 2020 plot are facing charges for their involvement in the fake electors scheme — a key component of Trump’s effort to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn Biden’s win. And Troupis said the work by “Team Giuliani” never intersected with the more legitimate work done by Trump campaign lawyers that he described as “Team Normal.” “As Team Giuliani spread claims of fraud, Team Normal did not embrace them, or expound on them,” Tropuis wrote in one of four motions to dismiss the charges he’s facing.
