CNN — Kenneth Chesebro, the right-wing attorney who helped devise the Trump campaign’s fake electors plot in 2020, concealed a secret Twitter account from Michigan prosecutors, hiding dozens of damning posts that undercut his statements to investigators about his role in the election subversion scheme, a CNN KFile investigation has found.
Chesebro denied using Twitter, now known as the platform X, or having any “alternate IDs” when directly asked by Michigan investigators last year during his cooperation session, according to recordings of his interview obtained by CNN.
But CNN linked Chesebro to the secret account based on numerous matching details — including biographical information regarding his work, family, travels and investments. The anonymous account, BadgerPundit, also showed a keen interest in the Electoral College process and lined up with Chesebro’s private activities at the time.
Ch[e]esebro protecting president Cheeto… We live in a simulation 100% confirmed
More likely he was trying to protect himself here; he’s been willing to talk about all those other lawyers Trump had and their crazy plans that he totally didn’t agree with or push*. His story has been that he was just innocently helping prepare a contingency plan in case Trump won in the courts and was totally not planning a coup; now there are tweets where he’s saying, [Trump doesn’t need the courts; he can just do a coup].
*It was amusing the way things went down in Georgia: He filed for separation to try to get away from the crazies and present himself as a responsible lawyer doing responsible lawyer things while the crazies were off doing crimes and he got it! Yay! But, hilariously, then the monkey’s paw curled and Sidney “the Krazy Kraken” Powell also got separation and their cases got joined.
