    CDunnPasadena,

    @Teri_Kanefield it seems strange that they would refer to TFG as the “incumbent president.” I don’t think they are intentionally finger pointing

    BlueBoy,

    @Teri_Kanefield I don't think other defendants saying they were directed by Trump is going to help as much as ordinary defendants blaming someone would. In the ordinary case, the head bank robber will deny he did it. In this case, I think Trump will admit it and say it was all okay. Unless the defendants, in pointing to Trump, identify something that Trump did that was clearly illegal, like knowingly submitting false evidence, I don't think it matters much.

    guiltmanager,

    @Teri_Kanefield actually, doesnt a lot of finger pointing sometimes ruin a case?
    "it wasnt me it was him!" "no, it was him, not me!"
    then again, if lots point at trump, rather than each other, then yes, that would be very good for prosecuting the instigator of all of this!

    MABainbridge,

    @Teri_Kanefield Does pointing a finger at the "President's attorneys" or the "President's campaign attorneys" vs. the President himself make a difference?

    RazzleDK,

    @MABainbridge @Teri_Kanefield that was my thought.....Trump will just say he had nothing to do with it, the attorneys were acting on their own.

  • RazzleDK,

    @Teri_Kanefield Thanks Teri. Fingers crossed Trump's attorneys aren't willing to take the fall for him, even if he promises pardons.

    halfcocked,

    @Teri_Kanefield Eh, maybe. Pointing the finger in a legal argument that will never be seen by a jury doesn't necessarily show a rift. It just shows arguments in the alternative.

    My understanding was this is just to get it to federal court and trying to say they were working for trump, therefore, federal? Not that they're accusing him but saying he was right because he was in the oval office?

    Like somebody in the Federal Government telling you to do something automatically makes you a part of the Federal Government.
    Yeah right.

    @Teri_Kanefield I’m constantly reminded of game theory I took in grad school.

    DrewKadel,

    @Teri_Kanefield This is one of the fake electors that Fani Willis did NOT offer immunity? He seems to be attempting a defense that confesses to being part of the conspiracy. What's his best move from here?

    @Teri_Kanefield Is that still a defense...i mean Nuremberg defense...i was obeying orders of the president ! The guy did the crime.

    Csosorchid,

    @Teri_Kanefield Wow, the I was a dope defense.

    CStJames,
    MaybeMyMonkeys,

    @Teri_Kanefield don’t the states have a stake here, since the electoral college is supposed to represent their interests.

    @Teri_Kanefield haven't some other fake electors also said they were following Trump's direction? I hope Willis is able to flip some of them!

    kkeller,

    @Teri_Kanefield aha, I found it: Latham's motion says she was "following the advice of the President's legal counsel (p 10).

    I feel like maybe a third fake elector said the same thing but I can't remember who it could have been.

    KimberlyN,

    @kkeller @Teri_Kanefield

    Yep. There are three — Shawn Still, Cathleen Latham and David Shafer

    @Teri_Kanefield next step, plea deal? cooperation with prosecution? He's already made the big jump of being 'disloyal' to Trump so he's already fired whatever gun Trump is pointed at him.
