Federal fraud case against Trump's fake electors revealed in documents

Politico researcher and reporter Nicholas Wu appeared on MSNBC Monday to reveal a detail buried in a recent report about the fake electors and the documents submitted to the U.S. National Archives from at least five states. Two other states provided the caveat that they would only be valid if the Democratic electors were struck down.

According to the documents obtained by Wu, due to a Freedom of Information Act request, the National Archives launched their own fraud investigation into the documents submitted to them claiming to be "elected" when they weren't. Not only did this happen in multiple states, but they even attempted to use an official seal of the state in documents that a Watergate lawyer said fell under "forgery" violations.

George Conway rips apart ‘insane’ Trump plan to seize voting machines

Legal expert George Conway reacted to a never-issued executive order from Donald Trump that called for the military to seize voting machines in a bid to keep him in power for weeks past Inauguration Day.

The order, which Trump's lawyers tried to shield from the House select committee, matched up with conspiracy theories promoted by attorney Sidney Powell and would have directed the defense secretary to seize voting machines in swing states won by Joe Biden, but Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" there was no legal basis to any of it.

'Newt has lost it': Jan. 6 committee member confused by Gingrich's 'weird' idea the US will be overthrown

Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) responded to the "weird" comments from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA). On Saturday, he told the Fox network that members of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack are somehow going to be carted off to prison when the GOP takes over in 2022. Gingrich never quite explained what crimes he thinks the officials committed and on what charge they'd be arrested, but he firmly believes it will happen. If the members were arrested without a crime, as Gingrich suggests, Lofgren explained it would mean the U.S. has fallen.

"That's just bizarre," said Lofgren. "I think Newt has really lost it. You know, it leaves me speechless. I mean, unless he is assuming that the government does get overthrown and there's no system of justice, just random arrests. I mean, it's just a bizarre statement, and he looks terrible."

Kennedy specifically cited Anne Frank, the teenage girl who penned a diary about her experience hiding through the occupation. She was ultimately captured and sent to a concentration camp where she died. In the final year of her life, close friends Hanneli Goslar and Nanette Blitz, who survived the war, told authors of a Frank book that she was "bald, emaciated, and shivering."
