    Since the title buries the lede a bit:

    [T]hese documents make clear that the scheme was not—as now alleged by Trump’s defenders—a contingency plan in case courts overturned election results. On the contrary, this was a premeditated effort to use fraudulent slates of electors to introduce uncertainty and chaos into the Joint Session, no matter what the courts ruled. To put it simply, the new information obtained as a result of the Penebaker litigation shows that the false electors scheme was not just a lawyerly subplot to a haphazard coup attempt; rather, it was the centerpiece of Trump’s well-orchestrated pressure campaign to dismantle democracy.

    Well here's to continuing to hope that we see some justice served in all of this. I feel like the long term game for the defendants here is to get far enough away from that election that it now feels like "bringing up old dirt" and public sentiment shifts towards wanting peace and stability instead of reliving these events.

    That's a cool website, do you read it often? Gonna bookmark it and start following stories.
