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.

Bummer that it looks like we lost a bunch of top notch comments in one of the original threads...but to answer one question I tried to reply to right as the other threads were replaced with the megathread.

Judging by #1's links to phone calls to senators/reps on 6JAN I'd say that's Rudy. Since he's a bumbling idiot and called the wrong numbers we have the voicemail he intended to leave for Tuberville.

Reports say Eastman's lawyers confirmed he is #2, but I couldn't find a link so we'll have to wait for confirmation on that one.

Edit: Looking at page 30 I would assume #4 is Jeffrey Clark, as WH council was trying to dissuade him from taking the role of acting AG.

Edit again: My guess for #5 is Kenny Chesebro, with a name like that I shouldn't have forgotten about him but he was critical in the fake elector plot.

Last edit(?): Boris Epshteyn might be behind door #6, putting this in comments and I'll leave it if I'm wrong!

But you'd also think someone who is running for president would want to do whatever possible to get those 'found not guilty' headlines as soon as possible.

Ya know... If they were confident that 'not guilty' was the most likely outcome.

If he's found guilty of everything in this indictment the sentences will be served concurrently. All the attention grabbing headlines claiming he's 'facing 327 years in prison" are bunk.

But in his case there's no difference between 15-20 and 327.

This might just be too brave

Saw Oppenheimer tonight, the number of people wearing bright pink in the theater lobby was a sight to behold.

It was really cool actually.

The Wyze headphones I picked up for $45 do this, along with noise cancellation that's good enough for flights. I figured it would be standard on any premium headphones.
