This is the story. The lies perpetuated by Fox, Newsmax, and OAN are the foundations of the worst crises in our country.

This should always be the story. Every day. Democracy cannot stand with an ignorant citizenry.
Fox has stoked racism and other divisions. Fox tells its viewers that Democrats are their enemies. Fox lied about the coronavirus. And without Fox News, Trump would have been removed from office long ago.
Without Fox News (and Newsmax, OAN, etc), a large majority of the country would have been horrified that 120+ Republicans tried to overturn a fair election.

But instead all of Fox's audience is laser-focused on Hunter Biden's finances.
Every legitimate news outlet should make Fox News and Newsmax the focus of a portion of its coverage every single day. The fake "journalists" who spew those lies and lopsided coverage should be embarrassed to show their faces in public.

🚨 Andrew Weissmann lists the criminal statutes that Trump may have broken when he pressured state officials to overturn the election.

Election Interference Statutes
- 18 USC 241: Conspiracy against rights
- 18 USC 242: Deprivation of rights under color of law

- Wire fraud
Here is the DOJ's information on 18 USC 241. It carries some serious jail time and does NOT require an overt act to be committed.
And here is 18 USC 242. It can carry a life sentence.

Here's a video clip from the protest outside Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's house in Detroit tonight.
I swiped the video off one of the protestor's Facebook posts. They're yelling, "Stop the Steal!" into megaphones and calling her a felon(?) They're clearly living in an alternate reality.
"She's a Democrat. She's a Dem-o-Rat. She's decided to completely ignore all the credible, credible, fraudulent evidence that's been continually presented and pointed out!"

She's says, "It's about our Soveren-Tree" (?)

Everything about Trump's rally tonight was an awful assault on the United States.

Does it ever feel to you like a physical punch to the gut?
The worst of it is that Republicans don't care and will do nothing more than calculate how Trump's rally affects their chances of controlling the senate.
I was always taught - in school and at home - to revere our Constitution. Seeing it trashed by the highest office holder is devastating.

🚨 Republican member of Michigan Board of Canvassers, Aaron Van Langevelde, will certify the Michigan election results.

Watch his comments here.
Norman Shinkle, the other Republican member, just said he's NOT voting for certification.
Breaking: The Michigan Board of Canvassers voted 3-1 to certify the election results.

I'm watching the Michigan State Canvassing Board meeting. I think one of the two Republicans is definitely inclined to certify. The other one, Shinkle, is a piece of nasty work though.

But I'm getting ready to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ugh. Now Laura Cox, the Republican MI GOP chair, is speaking and tells the board she thinks they should delay the certification because everything in the election was "stacked against Republicans."

She "demands that Republicans be respected."
I'm encouraged that Aaron Van Langevald (the reasonable r) didn't ask her questions.

Now John James's attorney is speaking. He's an ass too. He's basically telling them to delay.

GOP is calling for an audit to give the MI SCB an excuse to delay certification.

The next play is to cast enough doubt to shade MI's Republican legislature's treasonous move to appoint its own electors. Whitmer could appoint a competing slate.

This is going to get messy.
I urge everyone to read this op-ed by Jeff Timmer and Bob LaBrant. Read it several times.

Pay very careful attention here. Trump has been working this angle for months.
