Donald Trump Election Interference Co-Conspirators Turning on Each Other
As Donald Trump faces a possible fourth indictment in Georgia, his unindicted co-conspirators for his third indictment are starting to point fingers at one another.
There are six unindicted co-conspirators who helped Trump try to overturn the election results around the US, most of them serve as his legal counsel, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the "Kraken Lawyer" Sidney Powell.
However, since the third Trump indictment was unsealed and the descriptions of the six unindicted co-conspirators point to several people in Trump's inner circle, Giuliani has since turned on Powell, with the former mayor and his attorney calling the "Kraken Lawyer" a "crackpot.
Meanwhile, Ken Chesebro, who is known as the mastermind behind the fake electors scheme, has been downplaying his involvement, according to Rolling Stone. He is reportedly pinning the blame on others.
This comes as Trump and his new lawyers have made it clear that their defense will rely on Trump getting "advice of counsel" for doing his actions in trying to disrupt the elections. It was pointed out that the ex-POTUS may be using his former attorneys like John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others as scapegoats.
However, prosecutors have been seizing on these disagreements on the Trump side as Special Counsel Jack Smith's staff have signaled that they intend to pressure the six co-conspirators listed in the Trump indictment.
Donald Trump Co-Conspirator Ken Chesebro Helped Mastermind Events That Led to January 6
Kenneth Chesebro may not be as well-known as the other Donald Trump co-conspirators, but he may have had one of the biggest impacts on the case, according to Politico.

In a memo to Wisconsin-based Trump attorney Jim Troupis, the alleged co-conspirator emphasized that the "hard deadline" for the courts to rule on Trump's election challenges was on January 6, 2021, which of course, is the date of the Capitol insurrection.
In that memo, he claimed that to sustain the legal challenges to the results, they must have a slate of pro-Trump electors to convene on Dec. 14, 2020, and cast ballots as though they were legitimately elected. This was the birth of the fake electors plot where pro-Trump fake electors would cast a ballot that would be used in several key battleground states to help overturn the election results.
Legally, this was considered fraud, with several of these fake electors already being charged or cooperating with investigators.
Mike Pence Hits Back at Donald Trump
Then-Vice President Mike Pence was central to Trump's election overturn plot, as the then-President and his lawyers pressured the then-VP to reject the legal ballots of the rightful electors and accept the votes of the fake electors. Instead, Pence chose the Constitution and is the possible star witness in the case against his former running mate.
Trump has since been attacking Pence on the campaign trail, claiming that he never tried to intimidate his VP. However, during an interview with NBC News, Pence pushed back, telling host Chuck Todd to "Check his Tweets."
Pence added that it was clear that Trump thought that the VP had the authority to overturn the election. However, the VP overseeing the electoral vote count was merely symbolic as Pence really did not have the power to reverse the results of their election loss.
