If convicted and removed the governor can appoint a new justice.

But...

The fun part is they don't have to convict, under WI law if a justice is impeached they are barred from trying cases until the Senate tries them.

If they move forward my money is on impeachment and delay, since that kills the majority (that the people of WI voted for, on the basis that she opposed the horrific district maps) and everyone's job is safe for another election cycle.

 

Fluffy kitten memories from August 2018, one of the litters I fostered. Most of the kittens so far were either born feral or in this case mama cat was "surrendered" (left in a carrier outside of a pet store....).

All 5 kittens and mama are still doing great today though.

Reportedly 3 inches taller than I am, and only 10lbs heavier. But he probably couldn't stretch one of my shirts enough to even get it over his moobs.

Judging by what he was involved in (forged elector doc verbiage, gathering a list of lawyers to assist in each state they planned to forge said certs) Boris was my slightly educated guess.

There were a lot of high hopes that it would be Stone or Bannon but they just don't fit the bill.

Right? And there's so many to choose from!

Convicted most likely, jailed...no

Whoever it ends up being, they're not a big household name. I'm now split on Boris Epshteyn and Mike Roman, but I can't find anything that perfectly links them to emails/phone calls from the dates mentioned in today's indictment. They were both big parts of the fake electors conspiracy.

This is huge, and it sucks that it's being overshadowed by the late afternoon news today.

I'm guessing that Meadows cooperated.

Co-conspirator 6's involvement here is strictly related to the forged elector certificates. Pages 24&25 outline some of what this person did, like providing language used on the fake certificates, and a list of lawyers to help in each state they were planning to file fake certs from.

It doesn't seem like much but quasi-legal language for the bogus certificates seems out of Bannon's league. This is why I'm leaning toward Boris Epshteyn, who is a lawyer...but was acting as an advisor to the campaign instead.

I have been wracking my brain and searching because I swear there was reporting about who actually drafted the fake elector certificates, but given the description of their actions I'm not thinking Bannon or Stone.

I've settled on #6 being Boris Epshteyn, even though he is a lawyer, he was acting as an advisor to the trump campaign during the post-election dipshittery. He was also on some of the reported email chains, though the emails mentioned in the indictment haven't been released.

NBC reported that #3 is Powell which makes sense.

I'm not sold on Bannon but I may have missed reports that he assisted with the electoral college certificate fraud plan. I still haven't made it to that part of the indictment...because I skipped forward to the sections about obstructing the certification.
