3/ Step 4:

What is Trump's response to McDaniel's phone call informing him the alternate electors scheme is now up and running?

"Just great."

4/ Step 5:

When Dec. 14 came around, McDaniel sent the list of alternate electors directly to the White House.

She adds, "I may have spoken to the President just to let him know."

5/ McDaniel name checks a number of people at the RNC/Trump Campaign who can now potentially serve as witnesses for the DOJ.

6/ Several Trump Campaign officials/lawyers dropped out of alternate electors scheme realizing it had deep problems.

That includes McDaniel's first point of contact: Justin Clark, who thought the plan was senseless by and before Dec. 14 came around.
