BJay Pak, US Attorney in Atlanta, abruptly resigned the Monday after Trump labeled his hand-picked federal prosecutor a 'never Trumper' on the call with Raffensperger. DOJ Inspector General now investigating if Pak was forced out for failing to support claims election fraud.

NY Times detailed an attempt to remove the acting AG for refusing to send a letter to Georgia legislators. The draft letter falsely claimed that Justice was investigating election fraud, so GA would replace Biden electoral slate with Trump's electors.

None of this would work unless the electoral vote certification could be delayed in Congress until Georgia's General Assembly session Jan. 11.
The Jan. 6 insurrection delayed it for hours. Giuliani called Tuberville during the siege asking him to "try to just slow it down."
