Mega Thread - Donald Trump Pleads Not Guilty to Conspiring to Defraud the United States in Arraignment - Washington DC

Bummer that it looks like we lost a bunch of top notch comments in one of the original threads...but to answer one question I tried to reply to right as the other threads were replaced with the megathread.

Judging by #1's links to phone calls to senators/reps on 6JAN I'd say that's Rudy. Since he's a bumbling idiot and called the wrong numbers we have the voicemail he intended to leave for Tuberville.

Reports say Eastman's lawyers confirmed he is #2, but I couldn't find a link so we'll have to wait for confirmation on that one.

Edit: Looking at page 30 I would assume #4 is Jeffrey Clark, as WH council was trying to dissuade him from taking the role of acting AG.

Edit again: My guess for #5 is Kenny Chesebro, with a name like that I shouldn't have forgotten about him but he was critical in the fake elector plot.

Last edit(?): Boris Epshteyn might be behind door #6, putting this in comments and I'll leave it if I'm wrong!

Threads backtracks flagging right-wing users for spreading disinformation

Just a note about the injunction, it will not survive on appeal. The judge in this case stretched things pretty thin in his argument for the emergency injunction pending trial in this case. Lumping together government agencies reporting TOS violations with other elected officials threatening section 230 into one was just silly. Episode 771 of the Opening Arguments podcast does a better job of explaining the injunction and ongoing case than I ever could.

Wisconsin Legislature Discussing Impeaching New State Supreme Court Justice

Reply in thread

If convicted and removed the governor can appoint a new justice.

But...

The fun part is they don't have to convict, under WI law if a justice is impeached they are barred from trying cases until the Senate tries them.

If they move forward my money is on impeachment and delay, since that kills the majority (that the people of WI voted for, on the basis that she opposed the horrific district maps) and everyone's job is safe for another election cycle.
