He wasn’t tricked. He’s a coward.
No, he was complicit!
That's right, just listen to his voice, it's quivering. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His statement from min 12:11 so powerful. Bless him 🙏🏻
@@ericfitzpatrick5319
Both.
He knew exactly what he was doing!
HE WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN A COUP and did ...PRISON PERIOD.
If you live in Wisconsin, I encourage you to contact either your member of the Assembly, or your State Senator, and ask why Hitt has not been charged. If they are both MAGA Republicans, I'm sorry for you.
Just because you have a law degree doesn’t mean you have a good moral values!
Someone had to be at the bottom of the class
💯💯💯
Almost like they've been "teaching to the test" even in college. Not a glimmer of morality or critical thought in this so-called lawyer.
Obviously
OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He shouldn’t have the right to practice law! What a disgrace to the judicial system😡😡
Judicial system? We still have one of those? I thought it was just a bunch of cronies.
Everyone of these people should never be allowed around any election, ever again.
They should be in prison for a long time
@@tripp8833 Especially Trump.
The same ppl are still in charge in Red & Swing Statez.
exactly I'm like how did that not all get fired and lose their benefits thats tax payer money
They should never be allowed to see the light of day for 20+ years on federal crime
Makes me sick these guys are not in jail
@@Woof341 Amen. I feel the same way.
All of them should be in jail for a very very long time
Agree 💯💯💯💯 lock them up. He knew they thought they would get away with it
Me too!! He's still lying . & Still going to Vote for the old gold toilet guy .
@@MaryWyatt-ij3flthey almost did
"They assured me that if I just drove the car, I couldn't be charged with robbing the bank."
I once worked for a company as an H. R. person. I was asked to sign an illegal document that would have had dire consequences for someone. I refused to sign it citing it was illegal. They said it didn’t matter, and I said it mattered to me. I was fired for not signing something that they themselves were not willing to sign. Honesty ALWAYS matters.
I'm very proud of you.
I hope you got a big payday from that
Thank you ❤️
So true
I floated for telling the truth. No promotion doing nothing
So easily fooled, hey? Then you should never be anywhere near a position of authority.
Or be able to vote
Jack Smith's case needs to be heard and televised now!
He has no case, there was fraud in the election and Pence never should have certified it. "Fake electors" is a "fake" term. It means nothing.
It’s a federal case. Federal cases are not televised. I agree with you but this is what I understand.
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.
Jack Smith & Staff - thank you for your leadership and integrity AS AN AMERICAN!!!
He knew exactly wtf he was doing , he belongs in jail with all the rest of!
@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.
I agree with you, he 100% knew, just watching this in U.K. He is what we call , a babbling brook, a crook.
He should be locked up.
This is all political. Look at all the crime in New York and Bragg goes after Trump over something so petty!
Without any doubt - he knew that the papers were NOT AUTHENTIC. No matter WHAT HE WAS TOLD. He is a COWARD AND A TRAITOR AND SHOULD BE A CONVICT.
PERIOD.
Yes, I agree Hillary, Joe and Hunter Biden should be locked up after they are convicted!
He should lose his license to practice law.
So no trial or anything? Do you not understand where this sort of stuff leads?
Crooks are crooks. What a crock.
Sad? Sad sad
If it walks like a duck.....
The fact that we were this close to a coup.. is INSANE.
How is this traitor still allowed to walk around. He should be locked up FOR LIFE. NO ADULT can claim being tricked into TREASON AGAINST THEIR COUNTRY. LOCK HIM UP. LOCK HIM UP. FOREVER.
Trumps real election interference 😢
If you live in Wisconsin, I encourage you to contact either your member of the Assembly, or your State Senator, and ask why Hitt has not been charged. If they are both MAGA Republicans, I'm sorry for you.
@@mansafreak 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
“The electors are already here. They’ve been checked in.” Love that guard.
The best line of the story. 👍
It’s people like him who are saving America 🇺🇸
Amen🙏🏾, He shut them down, okay!!
They should have walked them in gotten all their information and arrested them.
Yes that was Michigan; State Trooper guarding the State Capital.
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...
So why is this guy & others involved in this not in prison! Two different sets of rules, depending who you are!!! Disgusting!!! 😡😡😡😡😡
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.
LIAR LIAR
@@debibelden906 He was scared to do the MORALE thing ! When you see the under lying militia of Trump supporters courage is harder to find for many people. He knew what he was doing was wrong yet FEAR of Trump made him break his oath ! That is what a Dictator does ! Vote Blue & get these MAGA do nothings out !
I learned in fifth grade social studies that ignorance of the law is no excuse. he could have at least googled it.
If you're scared of people from your party, maybe you are in the WRONG party. Seriously, that's crazy.
Right!!!!
Yes being scared of party should be a watershed moment.
Seriously!
Because that’s how THAT party operates. Like Nazis.
@mainely8007he had every reason to be scared. They were prepared to hang Pence on January 6th, they threaten and even physically attack the opposition and laws don't constrain them. He would be crazy not to be afraid of Trump and his supporters.
His career should be over. He has no integrity.
Plenty of jobs for such as this. Could you trust him to make you a hamburger?
and you do
Get rid of the electoral college.
Without the electoral college, the republican party would never win the presidency again. That’s why we’ll never get rid of it
Absolutely!
And let the people's voices speak for itself.
I couldn’t agree more it should be popular vote that takes any office. The next president should try and do away with the electoral college
And I don't care how scared he was.. doing the right thing takes guts! Thank God for Jack Smith.
Thank God for all the Republicans who WERE brave enough to stand up to the lunatics in their party (RAFFENSPERGER). If they ALL caved like this fool, where would America be right now?
@@cocofluff Many of those Republicans were kicked out by the MAGA cult members - Kissinger / Cheney etc .... Labeled with the Rino tag it ended their careers. Getting punished by MAGA cult members for doing the RIGHT MORALE THING ! All the more reason to vote ALL Blue
@@cocofluffthey don’t get a pass look what Raphensburger is doing to Georgia today
Jack Smith needs to go all the way, get trump off the streets.
I'm just speechless.
Amoral and spineless man trying to talk his way out of a conviction.
yeah...what a surprise...trump's followers are dangerous. He supports an obviously evil person for president, works tirelessly for him...he admits to what he did and whines about it. CHARGE HIM!
I'm reminded of a scene from the Chernobyl mini series where Ulana suggests that Valery expose the flaw in the reactor design. Boris rebukes her suggestion. "Because when it's your life and the life of everyone you love, your moral conviction doesn't mean anything. It leaves you. And all you want at that moment, is not to be shot."
He is young educated, no way he was tricked.
All the participants should be in jail, pay price for what they did/crime.
This reeks of the Nuremberg defense of "I was only following orders thus I'm not personally culpable"
Not tricked, it's willful ignorance that has now destroyed this whiners life.
He knew what he was doing. Peer pressure is not an excuse.
Peer reassure is very real.
@@tod3msnsi is peer resistance. Grow up.
When you're wrapped up in a mafia-like conspiracy, damn straight peer pressure works. Not an excuse, no, but save the severe punishment for the ringleader.
Thank you for coming forward!
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.
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.
"I was only following orders..." heard that one before in 1945
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
Sidemouth-Speaking Slick Lawyer is LYING TO US! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! DISBAR HIM!
Yes! I often think about that statement "I Was Only Following Orders".
So often since 1945 this has been reiterated again and again.
It appears that the human race is trapped in a grotesque version of 'Groundhog Day'
So true. Those excuses didn't work for them very well at Nuremberg.
The scary thing was that the state court only stopped this 4-3. ie a close call.
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?
This man is a criminal and should be sentenced to the fullest extent of the law.
A disgrace to the human race.
Definately
He has not been charged with anything by the State of Wisconsin as of today, 11 Oct 2024. As an election officer in Madison, I am once again mind boggled. Life in the time of Trump.
@@Joe90MC That’s right,it’s ACCOUNTABILITY TIME,cult leader.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully November 26 he will be! Thats the date Judge Merchan sentences him!
@@ElizabethEwins-mj9zu The MAGA people have intimidated me to the extent that I informed the local clerk where I work that I am not comfortable working on election day next month. Unprecedented.
We cannot allow this to slide. The participants in this should be brought to justice. It cannot be taken lightly or ignored because it's inconvenient or anyone is fearful to deal with it.
Lock up the ringleader, Donald J. Trump.
If Trump wins he can pardon them. He can't win.
US ATTORNEY HOT ONE HELL OF AN AGENDA. DO MANY CRIMINALS SO LITTLE TIME. SLOW N STEADY WINS THE RACE BUT DAMN SIR!!
Some are still in power in some states.. travesty 😢
Thank you Andrew for bringing light on this issue.
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 🎯
Tricked???? Stupid is not a legal defense
"it's not my fault" never taking responsibility
That doesn’t work for poor people in court
@@garcia4835 Maybe if the party's members made him scared, he should ask himself should he be part of that group?
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!
😅😂😅
And this guy is an attorney???? Glad he isn't mine!
He's going to be trumps next one because he can't get any other ones 🤣
Right!! 😂😂😂
He should be disbarred
How do we know this didnt happen in 2016?
How in the hell is this man allowed to run for the office of the president again? He should be in jail.
It is absolutely appalling !!!
Because of the crooked supreme court!
Everyone that's in any position to do something, just want not to do anything.
The Supreme Court, he packed it for a reason
Yeah, it's mind-boggling. Nixon resigned over the DNC break-in, while this guy still walks about no prob, even after staging an attempted coup?!
I call "Bullsh!t" that this dude didn't know!!!!!!
This why they should get rid of the electoral college. Straight popular vote and no more of this nonsense.
The everyday citizen isn't well-informed enough to grant their vote total value. We need representatives. A parliament would be better
@@ADUAquascaping That's not really an excuse anymore.
I agree 💯. How do we get it on the ballot. One man/woman, one vote !
Agreed
@@ADUAquascaping not really, then the "president" would be Mike Johnson.
An amazing coverage of a disastrous event that happened in the US history I did not have this much of clarity on how obvious and blatant and shameless this was and came very close to become reality. Thank you 60 minutes
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
So "tricked" is the new defense? This "intelligent" lawyer was "tricked"...how desperate, pathetic, corrupt and extremely STUPID.
AMEN!!!!! How is he still a lawyer? I wouldn't hire him!
That’s the power Trump has over some people
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
Lets stop this from happening again.
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?
Way too much of a stretch.
Perhaps he received his law degree from Liberty "University."
Or Trump University
He’s a criminal
@@jackieporter8616more like it
No way was any of these people fooled. They were simply figuring maybe (through Trump) they could get away with it.
Queen of Ghetto is always be a ghetto queen, never quit.
Exactly!
Because Dump has ALWAYS got away with committing crimes, $355 million of crime
Or be rewarded with a nice position in government if Trump were to steal the election. 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.
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
Do as I say; not as I do. meatball.
How is it possible that a felon cannot vote in Florida but one can run for president? We cannot allowed this to happened. Vote blue in numbers that cannot be challenged 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What kind of lawyer doesn't know what a _signature_ is worth?
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
Terrifying that none of these "lawyers" or law students know anything about the law.
The law student I can understand. She might not have been exposed to the entire election process yet and she trusted these people to help show her the ropes. She didn’t have a position of power in this and I honestly think she was used. I’d be interested to hear her thoughts on how this experience has shaped her integrity and actions moving forward.
Well, you can also find Christian fundies who will claim that Jesus didn't mean what he said in his "eye of a needle" parable. Reading doesn't guarantee comprehension.
We will be doing this all over again in November because we haven't learned from this.
The lights got turned on and the rats are scattering.
roaches
They were, but with the current administration they're back in full force.
EXACTLY. I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THIS MAN SAYS.
@@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.
What he meant - We couldn't win unless we betrayed our country.
Terrifying that their State Supreme Court was one vote away from nullifying 200,000 votes to give the state to Trump.
Agreed 👍
The only risk country; have name last name?
They should all be in jail
Prison.
It’s terrifying how close America came to losing its sovereignty in 2020.
If he knew what he knows now, he would have still signed it because he was fearful for his and his family's lives. He signed because he was a coward, not because he believed he was doing the right thing.
I'm thinkin' there was some money involved -- he wasn't tricked and he wasn't intimidated.
No he signed so Trump could pardon him if his sedition succeeded. The man is a stone cold traitor!
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.
Delusional until they get caught and Reality finally hits.
🎉 Wisconsin Gov Evers just today signed docs for NEW non-gerrymanded FAIR maps. Congratulations Wisconsin ❤ I hope this 60 minutes piece reaches a gazillion people 🙏 😇
I'm surprised that youtube didn't pop this up on me before today. Thanks, Anderson, for doing this. As a senior election officer in the state capital, I have been highly offended by allegations from Trump and his campaign about inappropriate election activities at the polls here in Dane County where I work. The contention that he "won in Dane County" were pure 100% malarkey. We who do this incredibly important work are chosen because the clerks who hire us believe us to be above reproach. When a bad apple is found in the barrel or the bushel, it needs to be gotten out before the infection spreads. But even if someone is crooked, there are so many layers of duplicity to protect the security of the election process it is very difficult for me to conceive a way ON THE WARD LEVEL for someone to cheat in an election. To date, our open records court system online shows no state case against Mr Hitt - as of 11 Oct 2024.
I am reading your comment from Edinburgh Scotland and it is like getting news that an old friend is sick and bitter. But this is not just a domestic issue, since as a direct result of this insane partisan theme which is manifest in the USA I had ended up giving research to the Chinese govt since they seemed a more stable and proactive platform to deal with the issues. It was only in a 20 minute call to a former USAF and NASA engineer who said they I was well and truly in DHS terretory that I made efforts to reconnect with your agencies - FBI, DHS. Then I wrote a letter to your and the PRC London Ambassadors explaining the situation. The nature of a president or head of state is that they be a unifying force for good, yet the circuis which has evolved in the USA has had the opposite effect. Trump is a creature of the swamp who has used the presidency as a vehile for his own tired ego. His is an inevitable symptom of a problem which will not do the people of the USA any faroura and may infact be like a virus which infects the whole body. Sad but true.
@@conormcmenemie5126 He is now potentially being investigated by our FBI for violation of a federal law called "The Logan Act," for seven telephone conversations he has had with Vladimir Putin, AFTER his term as president came to an end. I am sad, and also glad, that people elsewhere in the world are watching what is happening with D Trump here, for he is hazardous to Planet Earth.
"I committed crimes because I was scared." I don't think that is a valid defense.
@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.
Absolutely not.
He really should be in jail not on national television. It’s treason.
Why not both? I think it's important for the people to hear these stories from their own mouths. Too many people still believe Trump's Big Lie and aren't very susceptible to proof in text form, but I've heard several of them change their ways after hearing and seeing those people speak about it themselves.
agree
exactly I'm like how did that not all get fired, charged, and lose their benefits thats tax payer money
I don’t disagree but just saying he is at least spreading awareness that this goes on so that hopefully the state will be aware of the cheating going on
These people are traitors and I don’t know what happens if we allow Trump back on the WH
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.
How did no one get in trouble for this? Why is no one prosecuted over things like this?
Even if they were tricked, they still committed fraud. It doesn’t matter if you’re tricked or not you can be tricked into being a drug mule, you’ll still get in trouble.
They knew it was wrong and they did it anyway. That is got to be election fraud. Or at least attempted election fraud.
My mom said to walk away from others who are doing wrong, even if they make you feel 'special'. Choices were made. Time to be responsible for bad choices.
The party of personal responsibility sure doesn't like accepting any, huh?😉
agreed!
Responsible? A MAGA Republican?
60 minutes the propaganda. News network . You know Dan Rather and his lies , Leslie Stahls . Scott Pehle . Yeah a real network of unbiased reporting !
Your mother was spot on because in the end....no matter who is coaxing or trying to persuade one i to doing wrong...that individual still makes the choice especially putting their name on a legal document.....it's still your choice.
He was tricked. His brain tricked him into thinking he'd get away with it.
I was told ignorance is not a defense...for a traffic violation. So I think this is no different.
Exactly.
Donnie doesn't have a problem....
The United States has a problem:
A mobster who talks like a huckster,
and was just convicted of 34 felonies
WTF, over....
😊😊
All I heard was “ I did it, I should not have, but…”.
But move forward? Don’t hold him accountable? Blame the lawyers? Blame maga possible retribution? All this can be put forward as a lame defense in court buddy. You are a lawyer and know how this works. You can’t wish it away or say nothing to see here! Have your trial, let’s see the facts, not your wishlist.
I do say DJT has taken hundreds of lives, put those lives in a shoe box and shook it!! Including many ex lawyers, campaign workers, people he owes and doesn’t pay, friends , family and students in his “university”, and the country by stacking the Supreme Court with right wing nuts.
Welcome to the shoebox Andrew. Hold tight, because it can get worse. Might cost you right to practice law.

What did he not say..."We need a President who is TRUTHFUL".
These cowards weren't tricked. They got scared after it didn't work.
EXACTLY! SMH
Yep scammers getting caught
He knew what he was doing, he knew it was wrong, and did it anyways. “I was scared” isn’t a defense. This man is doing mental gymnastics to avoid charges/prison time.
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.

Yes its literally throwing out the will of the electorate while complaining about the will of the electorate.
5:15 No, you got it backwards. It would have been you who stayed honest but I do get the whole fear aspect. Unfortunately, your fear is not my problem.
8:20 It should NOT be about politics. It's what is the LAW! This statement right here makes me think he knew what he was a part of and is only feeling bad about it now because it didn't work!
The elector knew what he was signing and he is absolutely caught 😭.
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
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.".....
Tricked….they all knew they were doing something wrong!
That doesn't sound like being tricked. Scared and pressured, yes, but not tricked.
He has so much concerns but went along with it anyway. No one tricked you, you’re a willing participant. Lock them all up
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.
When they lose...
I just had an epiphany, I would be SO disappointed if Biden pardoned the orange crime spree and his conspirators.
No. We don’t need faith. That’s why we have separation of church and state. We cannot have a theocracy. Keep faith private.
AND THIS 72 YEAR OLD WOMAN FROM UTAH AGREES . AND YES I AM LDS .
thank you
While I agree with that... what he said was "faith in our institutions." As in, "people need to be able to trust the institutions again."
@@EaglesQuestions Or does he mean Faith in our institutions?
just exactly where does the statement "separation of church and state come from?
How he was tricked? That is hilarious. "Gosh, I didn't know what was going on.' 😂
Especially a Wisconsin lawyer who specializes in state law, it says it on the law firms website about him that he's apart of
This man surely knew what he was doing, and how illegal and messed up it was. Him playing dumb is ridiculous because he supposed to know these laws in his daily profession. The big lawyers who encouraged Trump with this plan were also fully aware of its illegality.
If you actually watched the whole thing and listened , you might understand it .
@@mizzury54has he filed legal action vs Trump?
Or he just coming up with this story now - to avoid getting out of trouble?
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
REALLY TRICKED? what are you a toddler offered a candy? OMG grow up man! Own up!
Jail this guy
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!
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?
So he could " make history". Yeeef
We dont need cowards in politics! I was scared of trump, isint good enough for me! He should have stood for the truth! Because now people think our elections are fraud!
That's why alternate electors have happened in the past most recently with Kennedy but also happened in the 1870s this is not new. The only thing that's new is the way the news reports it
Therre were no fake electors. The Constitution was clearly violated in the 2020 election. Its article two, section one, and anyone can Google it and read it for themselves. The-- the system by which you choose electors to elect the president of the United States must be done by the individual states and the system must be ratified the state legislatures, that is language, plain language in the constitution. Several sates with the most corruption circumvented the constitution and illegal certified their electors. The electors that were certified in Biden's stealing of the election were the fake electors!!!!!!!!!!!
And they- this guy too!- should be shouting from the highest forum that our elections -and specifically that election- was completely fair. I bet he said nothing until confronted with the committee. That’s not right. Even now he just says Wisconsin election was fair. And still didn’t proclaim that he knew the entire election was fair. By him staying quiet he allowed lies and crimes to continue.
@retrieval1 alternative electors? A set of electors was already picked! Trump had no right to bring In fake ones! Not only that, but electors have no legal right to overturn the election results.
@retrieval1 recently with Kennedy lol 😆 he was president 60+ years ago lol
Did he sign an affidavit saying that his signature was only valid in the event the appeal prevailed? No. Did he document his misgivings contemporaneously? No. Did he document that he did not want his signature used after the appeal was denied? No. He speaks out only after people start being investigated.
And miraculously, he's no longer afraid of Maga, but prosecution by the State.
Your comment is the perfect comment to this video. You layed it all out perfectly.
💯%
He's a profile in cowardice & conniving
Well the democrats handed him an escape route. "Let's say there was a hidden agenda and that you didn't know about it." Then make Trump look at fault. The guy was afraid of losing and did some bad things. Trumps pressure for success caused this. But He didn't tell the guy to do it directly like the left will have you believe.
Prison for all of them.
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.
He says that now because he was caught; he would have happily carried out the fraud.
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.
Get rid of electoral completely if this is what it boil down too.
"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 !!
