The Wisconsin attorney general added ten more felony charges to the indictments of Trump minions for their fake elector rigging in that state. Jim Troupis, campaign lawyer in Wisconsin, Kenneth Chesebro, national campaign advisor and Mike Roman, director of Election Day operations were originally charged with a single felony forgery count. Each of the 11 of the felony charges they face now carries the same maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine. These men conspired to submit a false document to Vice-President Mike Pence that listed the names of 10 Wisconsin Trump supporters as the state's recognized slate of Electors.

According to federal investigators, the fake elector scheme originated in Wisconsin. A majority of these "alternative" electors told investigators that they did not believe their signatures on the elector certificate would be submitted to Congress without a court ruling. Additionally, a majority of the electors said that they did not consent to having their signatures presented as if Trump had won without such a court ruling, The fake elector scheme is central to state racketeering charges brought against Trump and eighteen others in Georgia. Don the Con is fighting the charges on the grounds that the state court has no jurisdiction over him now that he is President-elect under the Constitution's Supremecy Clause

Chesebro was one of four people to plead guilty in the Georgia case in the months following the indictment. He pleaded guilty to one felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents after reaching a deal with Georgia prosecutors. He is now trying to invalidate the plea after the judge in September tossed out the charge to which he had pleaded guilty. The federal Special Prosecutor has abandoned his case against Trump and his co-conspirators based on the Department of Justice policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. FAIL!
