.@RepLizCheney talked about a “sophisticated 7-part plan” by Trump to steal the election. Here’s what it looked like….
/2 Step 1: “President Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to the American public claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.”
/3 Step 2: “President Trump corruptly planned to replace the Acting Attorney General, so that the Department of Justice would support his fake election claims.”
/4 Step 3: “President Trump corruptly pressured Vice President Pence to refuse to count certified electoral votes in violation of the US Constitution and the law.”
/5 Step 4: “President Trump corruptly pressured state election officials, and state legislators, to change election results.”
/6 Step 5: “President Trump’s legal team and other Trump associates instructed Republicans in multiple states to create false electoral slates and transmit those slates to Congress and the National Archives.”
/7 Step 6: “President Trump summoned and assembled a violent mob in Washington and directed them to march on the US Capitol.”
/8 Step 7: “As the violence was underway, President Trump ignored multiple pleas for assistance and failed to take immediate action to stop the violence and instruct his supporters to leave the Capitol.”
/9 It’s also important to remember that the select committee is still conducting its probe. And the Justice Department is conducting its own criminal investigation of the attack
