He’s a lawyer. He knew exactly what he was doing.
habba is a lawyer too - she doesn't know what an appeal is.
@@ln8116 This is true. But lawyers cannot plead ignorance of the law, even if they are!
Not just any lawyer. He's a partner at the law firm headed by Reince Priebus. It is one the most powerful legal arms of the GOP.
Not to say I know what he knew. But there are different types of lawyers. And even if they are the right lawyer, they're not always the best lawyers and they don't know everything.
@@daddyswift9301 He clerked under one of the WI Supreme Court justices that tried to install Trump as president. He's a partner in the firm headed by Reince Priebus and is expert in government and regulatory law. He's no hick.
If you're scared of people from your party, maybe you are in the WRONG party. Seriously, that's crazy.
He's only scared of the punishment he might get; if trump had won he'd be rewarded for this.
Right!!!!
Yes being scared of party should be a watershed moment.
Seriously!
Because that’s how THAT party operates. Like Nazis.
The scary part about this is they will try and do it again if they lose.
That's why youtube is allowing us to speak about again. So, anyone can complain from either side.
WHEN they lose again. Not IF. trump has GUARANTEED Biden another 4 years because trump is now BEYOND INSANE
When, when they lose.
"I was only following orders..." heard that one before in 1945
If you are stupid, it's difficult to be corrupt.
2020 as well
That's their way out I heard people say this so many times and make my skin crawl I was only following orders they say that in the military
He is not just some uneducated citizen. He is an attorney, active in politics. He was not "tricked". He thought he could get away with a crime. FAFO. Hope he goes to prison.
He wasn't tricked. They knew damn well what they were doing.
They either knew they were doing the wrong thing, or they're incredibly stupid.
Dam u have to be really weak minded to let old donny pull a fast one on you you can't accuse Maga republikkkans of being free thinkers their outlook on the world is what ever trump wants it to be.
Alternate electors have been used in the past most recently with Kennedy, but it also happened in the 1870s. Look it up. The only thing fake is the news
Exactly all on video
Not tricked. It's been done in the past in American history. It's called an alternate set of electors. If there are questions about the integrity of the election that happened in the 1960s happened in the1870s. The only thing different is a political response by the Democrat party
Everyone involved should be charged with treason among many other charges and locked away for years.
While I agree with the sentiment, treason has a very specific definition ... as we're not at war with anyone, no one can be guilty of treason.
They tried to overthrow the government. That is treason.
They should have ben charged with Treason and lined up..What a week justic system we have for the rich .
THE STRANGE THING IS THAT PRETTY MUCH ALL OF HIS CRONIES ARE IN JAIL OR WERE IN JAIL EXCEPT TRUMP I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY GULIANI COHEN BANNON BUT TRUMP AND HE KEEPS ADVANCING AND MAKING AND MOKING JUDGES AND MOUTHING OFF NOW HE IS SELLING SHOES AND BIBLES TO GET MONEY TO PAY THE REDUCED FINE AND NOBODY STOPS HIM. IF HE GETS THE PRESIDENCY WE CAN SAY GOOD BYE TO AMERICA HE WILL JOIN FORCES WITH PUTIN NORTH KOREA AND WILL ALLOW ANY KIND OF ABUSE TO AMERICA HE ONLY CARES TO BE SEEN LIKE A KING OR DICTATOR UDA WILL BE OVER
I get tired of this because it sounds like the Trump base. Redemption, and opportunity to be humble and honest like this man is doing should be accepted. We have to also be a nation of forgiveness in order to heal. Grudges on every single little person in this situation is not the way…the accountability on the big players matters though.
He should be locked up.
He wasn’t tricked . He went along with it willingly and is just saying he was tricked to avoid prosecution
See TOPdad… comment. Hit is a lawyer after all. He knows ignorance is no excuse.
These people only regret that they were caught.
I agree, he is a liar.
Maybe check his bank accounts, too. To see if he was bamboozled with a bribe.
EXACTLY 🎯
"I committed crimes because I was scared." I don't think that is a valid defense.
He didn't commit any crimes.
@@phillipclearman859sure is defending his honor tho
@@phillipclearman859 --- I rather doubt that a jury would agree with your post. Andrew is doing this interview to beef up his defense in court.
Actually, it's a very good defense and may even fall under "necessity defense".
@@phillipclearman859 Yes, he did.
How insane is it that it was a 4-3 vote to have all of those votes thrown out?? Those 3 should immediately be ousted from the State Supreme Court!!
Hell yes they were probably republicans
You're right Weaver. But then, if justice prevailed in our US Congress, by now Trump would have been impeached in Both the Senate and the House. Trump had tried to bribe Pres. Zelensky, then planned and carried out his Jan. 6 attack on our US Capitol Those were enough charges to impeach Trump for good.
@@chrisblake8798 Probably ?
One person. One single person could have done away with our democracy.
Agreed.
And this guy is an attorney???? Glad he isn't mine!
Tricked???? Stupid is not a legal defense
"it's not my fault" never taking responsibility
Ignorance of the law is no defense, ESPECIALLY when you practice law AND your area of expertise is on state law.
That doesn’t work for poor people in court
And scared!
@@garcia4835 Maybe if the party's members made him scared, he should ask himself should he be part of that group?
This is why we always have to remember Vindman, Fiona Hill, Raffensberger, Liz Cheney, Kinsinger.... this guy was a complete coward, they were not.
Well said!
he's no coward; he's a conspirator.
WORD
The Secret Service is tracking you right now.
You shouldn't judge unless you're in his shoes. The Trump cult is dangerous because of so many people Ike him. He turned around and is making amends.
I was told ignorance is not a defense...for a traffic violation. So I think this is no different.
The fact this is on 60 minutes….democracy is winning!!
Absolutely! It's all they have after all the fake charges and trials that have severely failed to stop the train! The path we are currently on is going straight down...
He knew exactly wtf he was doing , he belongs in jail with all the rest of!
You are right - he's a lawyer whose area of expertise includes this subject. He knew.
@@mainely8007 Its also irrelevant if he knew or not. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse to commit crimes.
If your friends come up to you and say: "Hey, we're going to pull a prank!" And then they all put on ski masks, grab some guns, and go stick up a bank - then it doesn't matter if they "weren't really going to rob the bank, and just playing a prank". They robbed a bank.
It doesn't matter if Hitt thought it was "just a prank bro!". His actions were illegal, and he should be charged for his crimes.
Joe Biden should be charged with treason for letting an invasion happen.
100%✓✓✓✓✓✓
Like Jack McCoy would always say in Law&Order, the deal is given to the first one ready to roll over on the rest of the suspects. Life imitating art once again. He probably got the deal.
You weren’t tricked, you wanted this.
If you're an American and don't think Trumpers are terrorists and need to be arrested, you have been fooled!
Yes - his bio says: As a senior member of the firm's government and regulatory law team, Andrew concentrates his practice on state government and healthcare law.
He's lying - that's what Republicans do best, they follow the father of lies.
He wanted this! He went along with it until he knows other states are going after fake electors.
100% Correct
He even said he had worked day and night to get trump re-elected. So yeah, he really wanted it. But why?
It is baffling that these criminals are free to do as they please, even making television appearances while my weed dealer is still locked up.
This
😂😂😂😂exactly
Crooks are crooks. What a crock.
He's a grown up. He is responsible for his actions. That's exactly what a conservative would say.
'"the party of personal responsibility"
If you saw those mobs looking for trump VP, you would be afraid. He was afraid for his life and those of his family members
that was the old republicans. they are a figment of imagination now.
Alternate electors have been used in the past most recently with Kennedy, but it also happened in the 1870s. It's a part of our history. The only thing different is the way the news is reporting this
He's full of it . He was all in until he realized he could go to jail. So no pass for him
When Trump was riding high in 2018-20 they all thought he was getting back in and would be able to pardon them. Now they all shiitting themselves about going to jail. Bill Barr is a perfect example.
The electoral college needs to be abolished. Short of that the consequences for not correctly reporting the vote should be 10 years in jail without parole.
One can empathize with somebody who is coerced or misled while still maintaining that these people originally had a choice and chose to ride Trump’s snake-oil coattails. Not entirely exonerated for following that guy’s BS.
He says that now because he was caught; he would have happily carried out the fraud.
Boy wasn't tricked, he was threatened.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not threatened, he’s trying to stay out of prison because he knows he committed election fraud.
He also was not threatened. He was part of it
He'd have done it any way Trumpers were gonna steal it if they could, we'd never had a bush jr presidency hadn't been for republicans having successfully stolen that one from us
No threats. Only the voices in his head 😂
One supreme court judge away from overturning the election in Wisconsin. Unbelievable.
That was the most important issue mentioned in this interview.
Not SCOTUS, that was a Wisconsin court.
Not SCOTUS, that was a Wisconsin court.
Not SCOTUS, that was a Wisconsin court.
@@amyscaling3121 Wisconsin Supreme Court
Most of these were attorneys, and they ABSOLUTELY knew what they were doing was wrong, yet they did it anyway.
🎯
Scary. Who do we have in government. ?
very true
60 minutes went to 60 pieces of shi*. BIDEN HAD DEMENIA BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED. SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE ELECTORS
So when the attorneys falsely accused republicans including Trump for rape and other crimes, that wasn't wrong, was it? They still did it. Don't act like you were shocked and the democrats are innocent please.
how is possible that this people are not in jail after almost 4 years! is a joke! 😢
No you weren't tricked you tricked yourself, you know right from wrong and you chose to do wrong suffering the consequences. Now you have assassinated your own character because of your misconduct. Always remember there's no right way to do wrong.
He wasn't tricked.
He heard exactly what he wanted to hear.
He knew there's no such thing as "alternate electors!"
Exactly, in their own emails that were leaked, they referred to themselves as "fake electors". They knew it was a sham all along. Why are we even entertaining the idea that they were innocent. This was clear cut treason.
LOL!! 60 minutes has ZERO creditability now! Trump told them about spying on his campaign and they told him he was lying! Well.... it turns out Obama is using the CIA and they did spy on him! This why NOBODY believes the main stream media anymore!
Amen, how many Nazis said that about the people shipped to a Death camp. He only followed orders,didn't want trouble.
@@christopherfoxwallace1291no comparison
Really 60 minutes.. You all giving this liar a platform. To throw out all the peoples vote to put a wanna be dictator in office. He knew exactly what he was doing. Now he's in front of cameras to rewrite his history on his part in overturning an free and fair election. Smh
"TRICKED" is the new excuse to replace..."We we just following orders" I call BS on that guy.
Maybe he was tricked into believing it would work
he decided to leave the party and didn't like what was going on and didn't believe it and tried to get out without getting severely hurt and is doing a interview about it - that's a lot better than denying it.
Even in the US military, WE , as individuals, are NOT required to obey "illegal" orders!
@@extropiantranshuman No. Not going along and having more courage would have been better. Right now he's trying to save face.
Totally agree !!
He wasn't tricked, he knew what he signed up for and how borderline legal it was.
Funny how everyone suddenly thinks they were duped now that they face the consequences.
What scares me most about this story are the 3 judges that voted in favor of throwing out votes.
Exactly! They should be recalled/ impeached, investigated & charged with treason!
Welcome to WI
@@MrBlueskyice It's not treason, it's a violation of 52 USC 10301. Words matter to us, not the Trumpian MAGA.
IKR??? I was like 4-3? 4-3! Are you kidding me????
Yes its literally throwing out the will of the electorate while complaining about the will of the electorate.
He was more afraid 😳 of Trump supporters than going to jail???? Let that sink in……
If you go to jail, there's a chance you'll come out alive.
@@LaundryFaerie There's still a big risk to your life in jail too! ❤😢❤ In this day and age, anyway!
I mean, people who have no knowledge or interest in the state of this country are endlessly triggered by Trump. Not that surprising.
They're constantly threatening the slaughter of political violence that is civil war and another Jan 6th. These thugs want to destroy the nation.
He'd probably meet a lot of Trump supporters IN jail too.
He's lying plain and simple .
Jail time for all fake electors.
A cowardly traitor is still a traitor
The failed 45th is all that.
Traitors are traitors, now betraying "his friends"
Yes Joe Biden is at traitor, you're correct.
I'm not sure of this, but are you referring to Anderson Cooper?
@@ThatOne77 I suppose those subject to propaganda are unlikely to be able to spell it, let alone understand it
"I'm a coward, so I went along with it." Treason. Plain and simple. He should be thinking over his cowardly decisions in a prison cell.
One thousand percent
I totally agree. I have never seen so many cowards with such loud voices at one moment and then creeping away into the dark at another. Lord
Exactly! I literally would've respected him more if he'd stated it that way!
"I went along with it because, as a right winger, I believe the ends justifies the means"
I'm prepared to grant him grace on this. I was once a whistle-blower. It's not easy to do. I paid for my whistle-blow by losing my job. As a divorced parent, with no income from my ex and raising a child, it was not an easy decision. I made it anyway, which means I get to look in the mirror in the morning and feel good about myself. Had I chosen differently my path in life would have been easier, but my conscience would not be clean.
Can you imagine walking into a casino and announcing, "If I lose, it's because the casino cheated. If I don't win the biggest jackpot, it's because it was stolen from me."?? And then trying to coerce the dealers into cheating for you?
I'm pretty sure there are laws against that, too.
And he gets to run again. We are an absolute spineless joke of a government and voting system.
Hitt specializes in election law at his firm. He knew there was nothing provisional about the document he signed.
Do you mean he's an attorney?
he was not tricked. He gambled, he lost.
No his specialty isn’t that. But the last sentence here definitely shows he has to know what he was doing. I copied it from the company website.
“As a senior member of the firm’s government and regulatory law team, Andrew concentrates his practice on state government and healthcare law. Clients benefit from his strong track record in resolving complex disputes and disagreements with state government agencies.
Andrew’s counsel on challenging, multidimensional issues is informed by his deep understanding of the laws and regulations that govern state government, including public records, open meetings, administrative procedure and review, ethics, lobbying, and campaign finance. “
He absolutely knew what he was doing & was to 🐔 💩 to not go along with it. He deserves to be tried by a jury of his peers as all traitors to our Constitution are
From his firm's website:..."An experienced lawyer who has served in key leadership positions in both the state government and in healthcare organizations, he leverages his knowledge and understanding of public policy, strategic planning, relationship management, and communications to achieve client goals.".....
He knew exactly what he was doing. He was not tricked!
why don't you go to your local church and stand up on the pulpit and say that?
@@nathanielsmith4041 If I’m reading it right you want the churches to be taxed? Good, I agree!
@@nathanielsmith4041Erm... what?
I believe that he believed in Donnie's lies. And wanted to be great.
TRAITOR belongs in jail.
My question is, if they haven't gotten caught and it went through, would he feel the same way? I don't think he would. Man, just own up to it and deal with the consequences.
He's a lawyer, how was he tricked?
So easily fooled, hey? Then you should never be anywhere near a position of authority.
Or be able to vote
You should have stood up. Shame on you from a Wisconsin resident. You made it all about you when, it should have been about the truth and your country. Ron Johnson, you're an absolute disgrace.
Can you imagine if Raffensperger was that weak? There were a lot of brave Republicans who stood up to the pressure to protect our Democracy after that election. As a Democrat, I thank them!
@@cocofluffSo do I!!
You can't just "throw out" people's votes! EVERY vote has legitimacy.
I'm so glad we had a Democratic governor too. You know he wouldn't allow this
Ron Johnson should have been arrested a long time ago. Sleasy.
He also still thinks Santa Clause is real.
They should all be in jail
Tricked? Bold faced liar.
From his online bio: As a senior member of the firm's government and regulatory law team, Andrew concentrates his practice on state government and healthcare law.
He knew exactly what he did -this was his wheel house.
You guys are harsh. He was lied to by a grifter.
Lying is very easy for these psychopaths. The end justifies the means.

@@fuzzypanda1684 propaganda. You wouldn't know a free and fair election from a stolen one or a violent attack on the Capitol from a tourist visit. Zero credibility
Biden is still senile and the way his administration has attempted to lie for him is dilutional and hurts their credibility. His administration has been crooked and full of scandals as well. Not to mention the results of our economy since Biden's presidency.
If your own political party is frightening you why are you still in it?
Hitt probably realized that if some other guy had single-handedly cost Trump the election Hitt himself would have wanted to do violence to that guy and his family. He is a MAGA republican, after all.
Those are some nice kids you got there. You know I will blame you if you don't make this happen. :D
@@christopherblaisdel exactly! a threat in plain sight.
Sort of like being in the mob, mafia
If he wants a president who's going to be a leader and help the country to move forward, then I presume he's going to vote for Joe Biden in November?
As an attorney I find it hard to believe this man is so naive and ill informed, perhaps it was willful ignorance and blind ambition?
This enemy to democracy isn’t a victim. He’s a volunteer.
He wasn’t tricked. He was all in. He’s just trying to prejudice a jury in his favor and 60 Minutes is letting him.
Agreed...he wasn;t tricked he just didn't care HOW they got Trump in. These people refuse to be held accountable an act like adults. it;s like they all share the same child mind.
Absolutely, he was in it up to his neck - Trump turned all these people into liars and cheats so easily
You know Jack smith even worked legally to help Donald Trump he wrote in a filing. Until he realized everyone was not telling the truth and he was duped. So now Jack is all in to right an illegal wrong.
Good, the more rhetoric against Trump, the better.
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64Won’t change the MAGAt’s minds. They just say “fake news” or shout “it’s a Democrat conspiracy!” and continue to live in their bubble of active denial.
It's called treason, Andrew. No excuses.
"Stop the steal" by stealing. Obviously he's a right winger.
Treason is only related to an act of war.
@@fluxcapacitor1621 I consider the attempted overthrow of democracy an act of war.
@@fluxcapacitor1621It has been legally argued that part of the scheme was the Jan 6 insurrection.
He participated in an attempted coup that included a violent attack on a branch of the government to prevent it from executing the laws of the United States. Legally, that is defined as waging war on the United States.
Being part of the conspiracy makes all participants responsible for all the actions of the conspiracy.
Including treason.
It's not treason. Words mean things. It *might* be a violation of some law or another, depending on the details.
He could have contacted the FBI with this information. And the Dept of Justice. But he didn't he's a lawyer he knew what he was doing was illegal.

Jesus, the fact that trump only lost that Wisconsin court challenge in a 4 to 3 vote is fkng crazy. Like just thinking about how often democracy survives by the slimmest of margins like that is truly terrifying and utterly depressing…😣
Democracy is not surviving. You see how crazy the left acts when someone they can’t control gets elected? They join sides with the media and the leftist machine gathers up the gulllible.

I don't buy their crap for a second.
He needs to be actively correcting his lies to those who still think he's right.
He was an attorney. He was smart enough to know exactly what he was doing. He's just too cowardly to stand up against Trump.
Exactly
He's not the only one. Just about every Republican member of Congress is afraid of Trump. That's the reason that he was impeached twice and was acquitted both times. Republican Senators literally feared for their lives and the lives of their families during the second impeachment (probably the first one as well). Mitt Romney discusses it in the new biography about him. We cannot have a president that leads by fear and intimidation.
That’s what happens when you put a out of touch entitled billionaire in charge of the greatest country the world has ever seen with a dictatorship view the man is pure narcissist
He saw a higher office in his future sycophantic to trump .
It was the tRump base he was fearful of.
He’s an attorney and yet he claims to not know that representing himself as an elector for someone who lost is illegal?
Yeah, right.
he said he knew but was being threatened. He didn't know some of it. I didn't see anywhere him saying he represented himself as a fake elector but signed off papers that he knew was wrong to do because he was pressured. Are you saying those papers are him being a fake elector?
Why isn’t Cheseboro in JAIL. People with money always wriggle out of justice
He wasn’t tricked he knew exactly what he was doing! What a lying 🤡
That's maga for you - they will do and say anything to avoid consequences or win.
He was scared to do the right thing for fear of his own safety and of his family’s. This is cowardice. And it’s an admission that he wasn’t tricked. He was scared of his party.
🎯🎯💯 bingo!!! There was no tricking a Wisconsin lawyer whose own law firms website says he's an expert in Wisconsin state law & it's complexities. This is "cya" after the fact
And all those who refused to be cowed are the true heroes and patriots of our country, that’s who I celebrate. Now we have to go through this all over again.
Lock him up
Yes, and to hell with the rest of us. These people are selfish.
Making unpopular decisions for the good of the country, is part of the job description. If any politician allows terroristic threats to sway their votes or decision making process, they are derelict in their duty and it will only encourage more of the same.
Soldiers died on the battlefield to protect our freedoms. Every politician is obligated to protect our system of government regardless of risk to their personal being.
I learned in fifth grade social studies that ignorance of the law is no excuse. he could have at least googled it.
No. We don’t need faith. That’s why we have separation of church and state. We cannot have a theocracy. Keep faith private.

But just like Trump himself these people were all in it for themselves but when the curtain fell on Trumps efforts to overturn the election, and prosecutors started cleaning off their desks, these guys scattered like cockroaches in an effort to put as much distance between them and a hefty prison sentence. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever, because he knew, or should have known, that what he was doing was entering into a conspiracy to defraud the American people of their rightful vote.
Why is this coward not in prison?
Because our justice system is a cluster f

Because this is complete bull that can't be proven.
We need to rid ourselves of the electoral college and let each vote count - whoever gets the most wins.
Thank you so much Smith/ because Garland has done nothing!
This guy is a lawyer. According to his firm's website: "Andrew’s counsel on challenging, multidimensional issues is informed by his deep understanding of the laws and regulations that govern state government, including public records, open meetings, administrative procedure and review, ethics, lobbying, and campaign finance."
I call BS on him not knowing what he was doing was illegal.
He was hoping to get a position in the orange dictatorship.
Well done on your research, and you are correct!
He's trying save his career bc if he's convicted. He will be dragged before the bar and dismissed. He's a lawyer should have known better.
This is the different treatment of criminals because when a person is involved in lets say a drug entity but might say I was tricked I thought I was delivering candy they still get convicted and sent to prison. So he's a grown man and needs to be held accountable
Seriously? 👀 Lovely. Plenty of Republicans who knew better were either silent or actively helped. Smedley Butler weeps.
The elector knew what he was signing and he is absolutely caught 😭.
What a liar! He wasn't tricked or fooled. He's an adult and should know better.
Jack Smith's case needs to be heard and televised now!
How could ANY American still support Donald Trump after watching this????
This story is not unique. Unfortunately, most of these supporters will never see this or other similar stories. My question is how is it these people who participated in these actions support him yet again.
The rational ones don’t.
They’re in a cult
Religion teaches never to question and blindly follow
Trump was known to openly cheat on the golf course, because nobody was brave enough to call him on it. Same in the White House. The ones who did left, were fired, and then trashed on television and social media by big bad and tough Donald Trump on Twitter, at least until he got the boot, same as he did from the White House. Nobody brave enough to call him for cheating at golf. All these years later, his voters still aren't brave enough to call him out either, for anything. Birds of a Feather between those two groups of cowards and fake tough guys.
Good lord. He supported him hook, line, and sinker. Period. Oh please already
“Sinker”? Or “sneaker”?
The democrates have bought him off!!! How many stuffed ballots were put in the voter boxes??? There is a black man that was caught stuffing boxes for the democrates. He admitted to it...
I’m still looking at him at him with a side eye. Didn’t you go to law school and pass the bar, sir? These people are trying to talk their way out of it because now they see people are actually going to prison over it.
He wasn't tricked they knew exactly what they were hired in for

Andrew showed what a coward he is!
TRUMP 2024
@@amm4202You felt the need to do that, huh?
When he is gone
You were tricked? No. You chose to take the least threatening course, even though you new it was wrong. You are responsible for your actions.
in USA politryx?
responsible?
actions?
some day over the rainbow?
a land that I dreamed of
it's a delicious thought so I gave it a thumbs up &
would gladly have given it a few dozen if I could
Amen Reverend! You are spot on. Preach! These people want no accountability for their treasonous actions.
No sympathy for trump or his lackeys. LOCK HIM UP!
He didn't believe their argument, yet he signed anyway.
Scared of Trump supporters, but not of breaking the law
He was not tricked. He’s relieved that he might be able to hide behind that excuse. He’s practically smiling when he says it.
If he is that gullible and stupid he should not be allowed to make any decisions for any America citizen or voter.
Tricked?
A more than willing participant!
You Rock Mr. Cooper, keep it up...
He knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
the guy that the Democrats ask to pretend lol..
So did that 23 yr old. They're all liars, they're up to their eyes in terror for their freedom.
Precisely. He speaks of having doubts about the legality of what he was seeing and being asked to do.
Yet what did he do about those doubts?
Did he seek counsel from someone independent?
Did he think to inform the authorities whose job it was to monitor elections?
No.
When he should have acted he chose not to.
And now that the walls are closing in around him he is looking for ways to absolve himself of the responsibility he had.
@@victors8465 ahahaha. Right
Yeah. He 110% egged on the insurrection
Wisconsin supreme court voted 4-3 to rejects Trump's attempt to overturn that States election result, 4-3!! Who in the world were the 3 judges that thought this was ok??
Names! We need names!
Those three were the republikkkunt judges on the court. Fortunately, the Democrats won that fourth seat last year.
That was my thought! We were one judge away from overturning an election?!
Unfortunately, having grown up in that state, I can say for sure that some of these people are appallingly ignorant and judgemental in the worst way. I cringe with frustration and embarrassment over people like this everywhere. Such ignorance and arrogance are seriously dangerous threats to the ability of our country to survive and thrive going forward. Reading between the lines...I've been to Russia twice over the past 35 years and I can tell you, I don't want to live there!
@@user-zt2bc1fc8f Well said. How can formerly intelligent, country loving people be so easily swayed by these cons, knowing they are being traitors to the country? I will never understand.
Oh please! Grow some balls and uphold your oath!
Learn this!!
Say it is not "he" instead of "it is not him".
While this smuck was part of the coup attempt, and knew what he was doing, I do commend him for his courage in this interview.
