Apparently concerned that disclosure of the fake electors plan would disrupt the attempt to undermine the election on January 6th, the Trump campaign election operations directer for Georgia told a group of self-appointed fake electoral college electors from the state that they should operate in “complete secrecy” while working with state senators to undermine the election certification, the Washington Post reports.
More than a month after the election and three weeks before the January 6th certification of electors, Robert Sinners, the campaign’s election operations director for Georgia, wrote a series of emails to a group of people who were going to forge official state documents and attempt to undermine the true outcome of the state election.
“I must ask for your complete discretion in this process. Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result — a win in Georgia for President Trump — but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion,” Sinners told the group.
Sinners instructed the people to lie to security guards at the state capitol to get to one of two state senators. “Please, at no point should you mention anything to do with Presidential Electors or speak to the media,” Sinners continued in bold, apparently nervous that the disclosure of the plan to seat “fake” electors might undermine the effectiveness on January 6th.
The disclosure of this information raises questions about how many people and how deep the plan to seat fake electoral college slates–or at the very least, throw the official Congressional certification in doubt–goes on both the national and state level: if a state director knew of the plot, who told him, and who was coordinating those efforts?
