I haven’t seen this here at DK.
According to Political Wire, CNN has reported that two days before the January 6th insurrection, the fake elector certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin were...stuck in the mail. (Oh, DeJoy of schadenfreude!)
CNN says they have obtained emails and recordings of Trump campaign operatives as they faced the possibility that the certificates would arrive too late:
So, Trump campaign operatives scrambled to fly copies of the phony certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin to the nation’s capital, relying on a haphazard chain of couriers, as well as help from two Republicans in Congress, to try to get the documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence while he presided over the Electoral College certification.
Campaign staff even considered a private jet but used a commercial flight, instead.
Emails obtained by CNN corroborate what Chesebro told Michigan prosecutors: He communicated with the top Trump campaign lawyer, Matt Morgan, and another campaign official, Mike Roman, to ferry the documents to Washington on January 5. From there, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and a Pennsylvania congressman assisted in the effort to get the documents into Pence’s hands.
I had previously missed Ron Johnson’s statement about this.
