from WND:
Presidential ‘electors’ had affirmed they were ‘nominees’
The Georgia prosecutor who created a nearly 100-page indictment against President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others, accusing them of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in her state, had evidence exonerating multiple defendants at the time she filed the counts, according to a new report.
The case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis essentially complains that there was a criminal conspiracy to change the results. Her agenda includes making telephone calls and meetings illegal, and charging defendants criminally for their First Amendment-protected statements.

In fact, she’s made a massive criminal case based on statements and actions that were identical to Al Gore’s attempt to change the Florida results in 2020, at a time when no one was charged.
Some of the defendants are charged criminally for purportedly representing themselves as “officials,” Republican presidential electors to the Electoral College.
But According to a report at the Federalist, those individuals weren’t representing themselves as “electors,” but only as “Republican nominees for Presidential Elector.”
The report charged despite the evidence, Willis is targeting those individuals “in her legal crusade against former President Donald Trump and other Republicans for their lawful contesting of Georgia’s flawed 2020 election.”
Willis’ indictment includes charges against David Shafer, one of Georgia’s 2020 Republican electors, and Ray Smith, who served as one of Trump’s lawyers at the time of the contest.
Willis claims Shafer and others “unlawfully falsely held themselves out” as Georgia’s “duly elected and qualified” presidential electors. And she insists they tried to “mislead” people such as then-Vice President Mike Pence.
But, the report documents, that Willis has had for the entirely of her investigation proof that is not the case.
“A transcript of the Georgia Republican electors’ Dec. 14, 2020, meeting, obtained by The Federalist, explicitly shows the intent behind casting alternate electors was not to impersonate public officers, as Willis alleged, but to lawfully preserve Trump’s legal challenge to the state’s election results. At the meeting’s outset, Shafer specifically noted how he and his fellow Republicans were acting as ‘Republican nominees for Presidential Elector,’ not as ‘duly elected and qualified’ presidential electors,” The Federalist charges.
Shafer explained the legal contest to the election remained pending, so “in order to preserve his rights, it’s important that the Republican nominees for Presidential Elector meet here today and cast their votes.”
