    So let me get this right. He was impersonating a certified presidential elector sent to DC to fraudulently perform the duties of a certified presidential elector, but that’s OK because he never said he was a certified presidential elector?

    “Sir, you were arrested trying to get access to the bank’s safe using an employee badge you found on the ground.”

    “Yes, but I never said that I was trying to impersonate him, therefore these charges of attempted bank robbery are invalid!”

    Is he paying an actual lawyer actual American money for this advice? Because if so, he’s getting ripped off.

      My (divorce) lawyer constantly reminds me “this is your case, if you want to go with that we’ll go with it”. I interpret this as “don’t be a dumbass”, I guess Chesebro took it as an actual offer.
