Looks like someone is ready to cooperate in order to stay out of prison for their part in the Michigan false electors scheme. More bad news for Trump. One of the indicted electors claims she was "duped" into signing something that was used as a certificate to claim Trump won the election:
One of the 16 people indicted in Michigan for acting as a fake elector for former President Donald Trump claimed she was "duped" by a lawyer for the former president.
In an interview with WDIV, a local news station in Michigan, Michele Lundgren, a 73-year-old photographer from Detroit, volunteered to be a Trump delegate and elector had he ended up winning the state, but she ended up becoming a fake Trump elector and now faces up to 80 years in prison.
She said she received a call in December asking her to come to the state Republican Party headquarters, where she would allegedly sign a certificate swearing Trump had won the election. But, she claims that everyone was asked to sign a notecard as a way to sign into the meeting, and then that signature was lifted and placed on the document in question.
"We signed a sign-in sheet with our names. It fits right into the real electoral ballot," she said.
She said the lawyer who told them to walk to the capitol was Ian Northon, who "duped" her into thinking she was doing the right thing.
"I was an innocent little bystander in this whole thing, thinking I was doing my civic duty," Lundgren said.
Democratic Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel told reporters she has proof that all of them knew otherwise, which I'm inclined to believe, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy watching the rats jump from the sinking ship and turn on Dear Leader.
Ms. Lundgren sounds pretty terrified about the prospect of spending the rest of her life in prison. I don't have a lot of sympathy for her if that ends up happening given the fact that she was likely a willing participant in destroying what's left of our democracy in America, but I'd much rather see Trump end up there instead.
