These state level criminal charges against the Michigan fake electors are SERIOUS. Potentially decades in prison. Seems aimed at motivating them to flip on bigger fish like Trump and his henchmen.
These Michigan fake electors are reportedly also under investigation by Jack Smith. If you’ve flipped, you’re going to cooperate with every prosecutor targeting you. Since they’re not cooperating with the Michigan AG, they’re likely not cooperating with Smith either.
This contrasts with Georgia, where several fake electors have cut immunity deals in exchange for cooperating with Fani Willis. These Georgia fake electors are presumably cooperating with Jack Smith as well.
With Jack Smith set to indict Trump for the election plot within days, does this mean the non-cooperating fake electors are about to get indicted? If so, why is Michigan indicting the fake electors on state charges just before they get indicted on federal charges?
Some will portray this as the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. But Jack Smith seems far too detail oriented for that. Far better to coordinate with state level prosecutors than to keep them in the dark and risk having things randomly go wrong.
The more plausible guess would be that today’s Michigan charges are coordinated with the DOJ. Maybe the Michigan state statutes are stronger than the federal statutes when it comes to “fake elector” behavior.
This could also be a coordinated attempt at pressuring the Michigan fake electors to flip in both probes. If they got indicted on state charges today, and get indicted on federal charges next week, the odds of escaping all that are so small, perhaps they decide to just cooperate.
