LAS VEGAS (AP) New transcripts of closed-door testimony to the Jan. 6 House committee show Donald Trump and his allies had a direct hand in the Nevada Republican Partys scheme to send a phony electoral certificate to Congress in 2020 in a last-ditch attempt to keep the former president in power.
The documents made public Wednesday evening included interviews with state party leader Michael McDonald and Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid in February. Both men served as fake electors in Carson City on Dec. 14, 2020.
That day, six Nevada GOP members signed certificates falsely stating that Trump won Nevada in 2020 and sent them to Congress and the National Archives, where they were ultimately ignored. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is digging into the role that these fake electors in key battleground states had in Trumps attempt to cling to power after his 2020 defeat.
McDonald and DeGraffenreid invoked Fifth Amendment protection hundreds of times in their separate interviews with the Jan. 6 committee, refusing to answer questions about their involvement and the extent to which Trump's top allies had helped in orchestrating the plot.

I thought that they just sent them to Congress or something like that but no they actually legitimately sent them to the Archives and were going to have Mike Pence count them instead of the legal and true electors. This thing was an actual bonified treasonous conspiracy and it blows my mind that the media is not really driving this home. This is a big deal. This isn't some kind of "free speech" or "symbolic" thing. They actually sent fake electors. They actually signed fake elector sheets. They actually intended to count them after taking the capitol.
