Trump adviser, Roger Stone caught on tape pushing a plot to overthrow the 2020 Election.
If Trump and his co-conspirators sincerely thought that they won, they would not have been devising schemes to overturn the results before a winner was declared.
The video is proof of criminal intent and a severe blow to Trump’s defense.
MSNBC host Ari Melber on Wednesday’s edition of The Beat released previously unseen footage of Republican operative Roger Stone purportedly dictating a memo that outlined the allegedly criminal scheme to send fraudulent electors to Washington as part of the plot by former President Donald Trump and his associates to steal the 2020 election.
Fulton County, Georga District Attorney Fani Willis and United States Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith cited that plot in their respective indictments of Trump and his allies.
“Although state officials in all fifty states must ultimately certify the results of the voting in their state, the final decision as to who
the state legislatures authorize be sent to the Electoral College is a decision made solely by the legislature,” Stone said in the clip that was recorded by documentarian Christoffer Guldbrandesen.
“Any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud to send electors to the electoral college who accurately reflect the president’s legitimate victory in their state, which was illegally denied him through fraud. We must be prepared to lobby our Republican legislatures by personal contact and by demonstrating the overwhelming will of the people in their state in each state that this may need to happen.”
It was actually two full days later, November 7, 2020, when the numbers and the nonpartisan outlets called Biden defeats Trump for White House. That timeline hurts the Trump defense that we’ve heard so much about, that these individuals pushing these plots were acting in a good faith belief they had won.
Famed political dirty trickster Roger Stone was caught on camera boasting he’s been manipulating Donald Trump for decades.
“I have a 40-year record of being able to convince the big man to do what’s in his best interest,” Stone bragged in footage from an upcoming documentary obtained by The Daily Beast. “He’s not easy to deal with. It’s complicated. He resents any implication that he is handled or managed or directed.”
The key is in lying to Trump by making the former president think he came up with the idea first.
