Kenneth Chesebro’s false statements to prosecutors put him at “great legal risk," law professors say
Right-wing attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of the key architects of former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 fake elector scheme, concealed a secret Twitter account from Michigan prosecutors that was filled with posts that undercut his statements to investigators about his role in Trump’s election subversion scheme, according to CNN.
Chesebro denied having a Twitter account or any “alternate IDs” when asked by Michigan prosecutors last year, according to recordings of his interview obtained by the outlet.
But CNN’s K-FILE linked Chesebro to a secret account — BadgerPundit — based on matching details, including biographical information about his work and travels as well as his family and investments.
The posts show that before the election and days after polls closed, Chesebro promoted a “far more aggressive election subversion strategy than he later let on in his Michigan interview,” CNN reported.
Crimes require proof beyond reasonable doubt, unfortunately all we have here is a balance of probabilities. In other words, it is more likely he did it than not, but it isn’t certain.
In a well-functioning system: yes, I agree.
In a system that is very obviously unfair and biased along political, racial, and socioeconomic axes: you’re gonna start to see some vigilante justice at some point.
