5:20Now PlayingFormer Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro is spilling his deepest secrets to prosecutors, and that could mean certain doom for Donald Trump. Chesebro has been recorded (as part of his cooperation) by Michigan prosecutors where he outlined the entire plan to certify fake electors from Michigan and Wisconsin, and even specifically said that this decision came from "high up," which means Donald Trump. This is exactly what prosecutors have been waiting for, as Farron Cousins explains.

Former Trump lawyer, Kenneth Chesbro is cooperating in multiple different state investigations into the fake elector scheme. In fact, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin are just three states in addition to Georgia. Uh, so four states, uh, that he is cooperating in. And according to newly obtained information from CNN, Chesbro is telling prosecutors everything, and I'm talking everything that they did to steal the 2020 election. According to a recent report, based on the video and audio recordings of Chesbro cooperating with prosecutors in Michigan, along with emails and other memos, Chesbro told the story of how on January 4th, two days before the Capitol riot, which of course was two days before, uh, Congress was voting to certify the electoral college results on January 6th. So two days before that, they had a bit of a hiccup. The fake elector slates from Michigan and Wisconsin were stuck in the mail. They weren't gonna make it to Washington DC on time.
So Chesbro, according to what he told the prosecutors had to go rally the troops. And he said this was a high level decision, meaning it came from the top of the food chain, which as we all know is Donald Trump. So he's meeting with these people in Wisconsin and Michigan, emailing with lawyers, emailing with lawmakers, uh, Republican senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin was involved in these conversations, even though Johnson's already sworn, Hey, I was involved for a few seconds and didn't even do it. Nah, chess bro kind of makes it seem like you did a lot more than you're letting on. So anyway, they try to come up with a plan, like, how do we get these here? So chess bro suggests like, what if we charter a jet? Like, what if I just get you a jet? Y'all just fly these to Washington DC personally, deliver them to Mike Pence, bought a bing, bought a boom, Bob's your uncle.
We got Trump four more years. Now, that's the story in a nutshell. This is a very long story, and there's lots of other little minute details about how they ended up actually using a system of couriers to get them to dc. But the bottom line is this, Chesbro was working under Donald Trump's orders. He is directly connected to Donald Trump. Therefore, Donald Trump is directly connected to the criminal activity in these two states, Michigan and Wisconsin at least. Because this was a plan, this was a plan that was in motion. They were actively doing this, getting the fake electors to send to dc. They had the plan and they did it like they actually did do it. That means that all of Donald Trump's claims that this is a free speech issue. I was just saying, let's find the fraud. No, your plan
Was in motion. And I use this analogy a lot because I think it's very aptt. It's like if you're sitting around with your friends and say, man, it'd solve all my financial problems if we just robbed a bank, right? Okay, well, you shouldn't say things like that, but that's not technically illegal. Just throwing out an idea. That's freedom of speech. But if you and your friends actively start, you know, surveilling the bank, getting the blueprints, finding out where the safe is, and then you actually enter the bank with the intent to rob it, that's when you've committed the crime. And that's the stage we're at Now, this is no longer as Trump claims just a bunch of people talking about, we gotta find the fraud. You had the plan in motion. You had the getaway drivers ready to peel out when you ran out with the bags of cash, or in this case with the fake elector slates.
You had this whole plan in motion and you executed it. So this is not a free speech issue as Donald Trump wants to claim as his lawyers have filed in court trying to argue that he should get the case dismissed because it was just freedom of speech.
