FTA: Chesebro denied using Twitter, now known as the platform X, or having any "alternate IDs" when directly asked by Michigan investigators last year during his cooperation session, according to recordings of his interview obtained by CNN.

But CNN linked Chesebro to the secret account based on numerous matching details " including biographical information regarding his work, family, travels and investments. The anonymous account, BadgerPundit, also showed a keen interest in the Electoral College process and lined up with Chesebro's private activities at the time.

Lying liar Chesebro:

EXCLUSIVE: Ken Chesebro, who helped devise the 2020 electors plot, concealed a secret Twitter from Michigan prosecutors, hiding dozens of damning posts that undercut what he told investigators about his role in the scheme.

Chesebro told MI prosecutors GOP electors were a contingency to be used only if Trump won election suits. Said it was "ridiculous" that legislatures could step in if Trump lost in court. But on his secret Twitter, he said courts didn't matter and legislatures should get involved

Further, Chesebro told MI prosecutors he didn't think Pence should be involved in picking which electors to recognize on January 6. But on his secret Twitter, Chesebro embraced the idea that Pence could throw the election to Trump with the GOP electors

There was an article in The Atlantic in Sept. 2020 that previewed Trump's fale electors scheme. Chesebro told MI prosecutors in 2023 he belatedly saw that article, years after the election. But on his secret Twitter, he literally posted about that article on the day it came out.

He's toast. He lied. Any immunity deal he had for cooperating with prosecutors done flew out the window. Not only that but his cooperation can now be used against him.

Prosecutors: Do you have social media accounts?

Cheesebro: Nope.

Prosecutors: What about this one? You know the one that contradicts your testimony that you only advocated the fake electors ONLY IF dementia don won his cases? The one where you advocate sending the fake electors to create chaos to force the republican legislators to take over the awarding of electors?

Cheesebro lawyer: Ooops.

So this drives a stake through the heart of his plea deal to testify for a lighter sentence. The plea deal that said that after accepting the deal he MUST TESTIFY HONESTLY for it to be valid.

Everything Trump touches dies.

This looks to be Cheesebro shooting himself in the back of the head. Five times.

Not just the cooperation plea deal to testify the truth but he also lied to investigators to get the deal. That nullified everything.

And we all thought he was sorry for what he did and wanted to turn over a new leaf.

Turns out he's liarholic, just like Trump.

Throw the book at him. I am dead serious. These people are not just criminal but a true danger to democracy.

This guy is a grade A assh*le.

Check out his apology statement after pleading guilty - one sentence.

These people do not respect the law and quite frankly will pull this stunt again in the future.

When you're a lying traitor, beholden to a rapist con man and his Russian daddy, your only hope is to double-down on the lies. It's what Repubicans do. It never ceases to amaze me, though, how Repubicans have chosen Donald J. PO1135809 as the guy they will die on the hill for. Convicted rapist, convicted fraud, demented, fat, smelly diaper-wearing traitor with orange spray tan and a lousy tailor. That's their guy.

Cheese's Fantasy:

Prosecutors: "What about this one? You know the one that contradicts your testimony"

Cheesey: I was just being a goofball.

Prosecutors: Oh well! In that case, it's all okay!

MAGAts: The "goofball" defense! Brilliant!!!

You forgot to mention that he's worshipped by christians, while being the exact opposite of everything jesus ever taught.

SPEAKS,

Yeah, I try to avoid getting into religious conversations with people, especially fundamentalists. I get that there's tradition and such, but I've seen enough of religion in my lifetime to know better than to engage with people about their preferred invisible cloud being...besides, all you have to do is ask any christian what denomination he worships, where he goes to church and who his pastor is, and just sit back and watch the mental gymnastics as they try to reconcile their beliefs against reality.
