Last week on the House floor, Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin read a text message transferred to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows purportedly from a “House lawmaker” to overthrow President Joe Biden’s electoral college majority.
“HERE’s an AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY,” the text states. “Why can t [sic] the states of [Georgia] [North Carolina] [Pennsylvania] and other R controlled state houses declare this is BS (where conflicts and elections are not called that night) and just send their electors to vote and have it go to the SCOTUS.”

Raskin later abandoned his original attribution to “House lawmaker,” with a spokesman for the congressman telling CNN it was an error. As CNN described it, anonymous sources told the network that it was an “inadvertent error.”
CNN reported that the text probably came from former Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry, whose phone number supposedly matched the number given by the Select Committee on Jan. 6.

Neither the offices for Raskin nor Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the Select Committee, responded to a request for comment.
WELP, CLIMATE WARRIORS HAVE THEIR NEXT TARGET PICKED OUT...
The fabrication comes on the heels of The Federalist reporting last week that California Rep. Adam Schiff was caught doctoring a text message to Meadows from Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.
The text exchange, which Schiff explained exposed “a lawmaker” pressing the Vice President to deny certification of the electoral college votes as unconstitutional, came from Washington attorney and former Department of Defense Inspector General Joseph Schmitz. The Ohio congressman only forwarded it.
The message, which Schiff took out of context with added punctuation to make it seem complete and a cooked-up graphic to display it, was part of a four-page document that outlined the legal reasons behind Vice President Mike Pence’s authority to object to electoral certification from some states. The document was published publicly before Jan. 6 on everylegalvote.com.

The Jan. 6 Committee confirmed The Federalist’s reporting and admitted that the messages were manipulated.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked Vice-Chair of the Select Committee on Jan. 6, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, fabricated a timeline last week to indict President Donald Trump as complicit in Capitol chaos.

Speaking in a prime-time performance on Dec. 13, Cheney went after Trump for waiting “187 minutes” to act on the riot “when action by our President was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.” However, an actual examination of the day’s events reveals no delay. The outgoing President made an online statement calling for peace within 25 minutes of the first building break-in.
