House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s cooperation with the Jan. 6 select committee has been officially requested for their investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Rep. Adam Schiff, member of the House select committee on the January 6th attack, and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, joins Joy Reid to discuss.
[Joy Reid]...
The more that we learn about January 6, the harder it is to dismiss it as some spontaneous occurrence. Instead, it better resembles a coordinated top-down effort, both in public view and behind the scenes. Now, on the one hand, you had the Maga shock troops on the ground, the rank-and-file Trump supporters who were incited to violence in the name of the big lie. They attempted a literal coup by force. But, on the other hand, you had a more subversive effort going on behind closed doors conducted by Trump loyalists like John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, and Peter Navarro. They put pen to paper, and laid out blueprints to overthrow the electoral system itself. We're now learning more about how those schemes were supposed to work thanks to some reporting in Politico that got a lot of attention this week.
Namely, we learn that the Committee is scrutinizing forged election documents submitted by Republicans in Michigan and Arizona, declaring Trump and Pence the winners of those states, even though they lost.
That's right, Trump supporters in those states literally forged official documents, and tried to pass them off as legitimate. The truth is, however, that this exact same thing happened in a total of seven states! And those fake election certificates are now getting renewed attention. In addition to Michigan and Arizona, Republicans did this in Georgia, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, without any legal authority. They tried to award their state's electoral votes to Trump instead of Biden. And thanks to the watchdog group, "American Oversight," we have copies of the phony electoral vote certificates that they submitted. In some cases, the forged documents appear to have been signed by committee members of the state's Republican party. Sometimes even by the chairperson.
What they attempted sure does look like a clear case of fraud, but notably they have faced no consequences for their actions. And what's more curious, is that these fake electoral slates played a huge role in Trump's efforts to short-circuit our democracy. In fact, they were crucial to Trump's plan to have Mike Pence contest the results before Congress on January 6. And we know that because the now-infamous memos drafted by Trump lawyers, John Eastman, and Jenna Ellis, both cited these dubious election documents as the basis for throwing out the legitimate votes from those states.
It suggests that maybe this was part of a more coordinated, top-down effort, that maybe these state Republicans got some direction from on high.
Now last night, the brilliant Rachel Maddow, uncovered another rather suspicious detail about these fake election documents. She not only noticed that the forgeries looked noticeably different than their authentic counterparts, but that five of the forgeries were nearly identical to one another.

American Oversight Obtains Seven Phony Certificates of Pro-Trump Electors
by American Oversight
March 2, 2021
https://www.americanoversight.org/ameri ... p-electors
American Oversight has obtained copies of phony electoral vote certificates from seven states that were submitted to Congress as part of the failed attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The fake electoral certificates were assembled by groups of Trump supporters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin who sought to replace the valid presidential electors from their state — who had been chosen by voters in free and fair elections — with bogus slates of pro-Trump electors.
None of the certificates contains any indication that they list illegitimate slates of electors not chosen by those states’ voters.
The coordinated, multi-state effort to cast doubt on the 2020 election and undermine the electoral vote process tragically led to the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the building and sought to physically block the congressional certification of each state’s real Electoral College votes.
American Oversight is actively investigating the ongoing assault on our democracy, including the efforts by former President Donald Trump and his supporters to reverse the 2020 election. We obtained these records from the National Archives and Records Administration in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
We’ve filed separate sets of public records requests in multiple states — including in many of the seven named above — seeking documents relating to the Jan. 6 rally, the lawsuit filed by Texas attempting to invalidate other states’ electoral votes, and Trump’s effort to pressure Georgia officials to illegally change the vote totals, among others.

Mr. Evers:
You have asked for the following under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) –
(1) Copies of all certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of electoral votes for
the 2020 presidential and vice presidential election, except those NARA has already published on
its website titled “2020 Electoral College Results.”
(2) Copies of correspondence (e.g., emails, cover letters, etc.) accompanying the certificates
and papers described in (1), above.
We are granting your request. We are releasing 45 unredacted pages and 0 redacted pages. We are
withholding 0 pages.
You also requested a fee waiver for these materials. As an “other requester”, you are entitled to up to 2
hours of search and review time and 100 pages of copying without charge (36 CFR 1250.54). The search,
review, and copying for your request are under your allotment, therefore the issue of a waiver is moot.
If you are not satisfied with our action on this request, you have the right to file an administrative appeal
within ninety (90) calendar days from the date of this letter via regular U.S. mail or email. By filing an
appeal, you preserve your rights under FOIA and give the agency a chance to review and reconsider your
request and the agency’s decision. If you submit your appeal in writing, please address it to the Deputy
Archivist of the United States (ND), National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,
College Park, Maryland 20740. Both the letter and the envelope should be clearly marked “Freedom of
Information Act Appeal.” If you submit your appeal by e-mail please send it to FOIA@nara.gov, also
addressed to the Deputy Archivist of the United States. Please be sure to explain why you believe this
response does not meet the requirements of the FOIA. All correspondence should reference your case
tracking number FL-28769.
