Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges Tuesday against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020.
The charges were filed against attorneys Kenneth Chesebro, 62, and Jim Troupis, 70, and former Trump aide Mike Roman, 51, who allegedly delivered Wisconsin’s fake elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer in order to get them to then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021.
All three are due in Dane County Circuit Court on Sept. 19, according to court records. They each face one felony count punishable by up to six years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
Troupis and Chesebro did not return voicemail messages left Tuesday. Roman did not have an attorney listed in court records.
Yep, another democrat prosecutor, shocking
Are you upset by a prosecutor prosecuting crimes? Or are you upset that people committing crimes you agree with are getting prosecuted? I’m just not sure what you are fake shocked about.
A Republican would let these crimes go unpunished, is that what you’re suggesting?
Republicans just haven’t weaponized the justice system to go after their political opponents. That’s all this is
Brainwashed moron or a Russian plant, this fucking dumbass right here.
Everyone grab your popcorn, they’re gonna say stupid stuff for ages, mumbling around Trump’s balls in their mouth.
Democrats bring democracy!
Funny
On no, people doing their job properly! The horrors! Whatever will we do!!???!!
Yet another wrong take.
False…it is a Democrat
Nah … you just have wrong takes all the time.
Make Attorneys Get Attorneys!
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, didn’t rule out filing more charges, including against the 10 fake electors, saying that the investigation is ongoing.
“Our approach has been focused on following the facts where they lead,” he said at a news conference.
Good. Crimes as terrible as this need to be prosecuted heavily.
Those involved in the fake elector scheme aren’t just criminals, they’re traitors who really need to be dealt with severely.
Schaden-hahahahahaha
Hell yeah, I am so excited these false elector lawsuits are finally getting filed.
Hopefully it discourages republicans from trying to do it again, oh wait that would require critical thinking… Nvm
What a savage.
hahahaha! That’s fucking brilliant!
I had to go check if that was real, and sure as shit it is!
Dude is good for Wisconsin. He does the things, and we don’t hear about any of it. The way it should be.
Except when he’s being sassy. Which is not common at all, but I’m super here for it when it does happen.
No closing quote??
God damn, I wish we had a governor as cool as Tony Evers.
Someone who knows better than me: why do journalists include the ages of the people mentioned in articles like these?
I appreciated it
Usually it’s done for people accused of a crime. I assume so that they don’t get confused with someone else with the same name.
Besides what’s already mentioned, the mention of age creates instant engagement from the reader. Those old young people are always up to trouble.
I assume it is for two reasons. One is to help distinguish between people who have the same names, since it is rarer for them to be the same age. The other is to give some context to the people in the story. Are they 19 year olds committing this crime who don’t necessarily know the impact of their actions? 80 year olds who are maybe not as sharp-minded as they used to be?
Troupis @ 70 yrs old doing crime could mean his last days could be in a cell if he were to get the full 6 yrs possible. That kind of blind loyalty to Trump that has zero F’s for this man just shows how sad it is to be a member of a cult.
Oh, they got poor Cheesebro. All he wants is some cheese, let him be!
