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.

OK, I got questions. Let me preface this by saying I know squat about this whole fake electors issue.
CNN says this secret account BadgerPundit belongs to Chesebro. First question, how much did that guy get teased in school for that name?
Now, I know that people post stupid things online. I know I do. But travel plans and investments? Private activities? Is this guy an idiot?
Third question: how much money did CNN have to pay to hire a team to scour old, anonymous, Twitter posts to find one that matched Chesebro's life? I'm trying to imagine a dozen to twenty social media hackers in a room scanning twitter posts and users, putting this information into a database, cross referencing it, and coming up with the most likely account belonging to Chesebro, assuming he owns one. That seems very expensive and labor intensive.
Unless, of course, they simply bought the information from someone who already had it. Twitter, NSA, friends, and family come to mind.
Then again, how do we know BadgerPundit belongs to Chesebro? Can we just take CNN's word for it? I would think anyone with the technical know-how to track this information down would also be able to plant it?
I hate to be the "attacking the messenger" sort. But I think we can all agree that CNN's reputation for honesty in these matters is just a little strained?
Chesebro’s lawyers confirmed to CNN that the BadgerPundit account belonged to Chesebro, describing it as his “random stream of consciousness” where he was “spitballing” theories about the election – but insisted that it was separate from his legal work for Trump’s campaign.
“When he was doing volunteer work for the campaign, he was very specific and hunkered-down into being the lawyer that he is, and gave specific kinds of legal advice based on things that he thought were legitimate legal challenges, versus BadgerPundit, who is this other guy over there, just being a goof,” said Robert Langford, an attorney for Chesebro.
Yes, during the 1960 election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, there was a situation involving alternate sets of electors in Hawaii1. Here are the details:
By December 1960, it was clear that Kennedy had won the election, except for Hawaii’s result, which remained in doubt. Nixon had initially prevailed by just 140 votes, according to the certified results by the governor. However, a recount was underway on December 19, 1960, when presidential electors across the nation were required by law to meet and cast their ballots.
Nixon’s Hawaii electors met and cast their three votes in an official ceremony. However, nearby, Kennedy’s three elector nominees gathered and signed their own certificates, delivering them to Washington as though Kennedy had won the state. These unofficial Democratic certificates described the three Democrats as the “duly and legally appointed and qualified” members of the Electoral College, using language remarkably similar to the false Trump elector certificates in 20201.
The Hawaii episode has become an important flashpoint as prosecutors scrutinize whether the pro-Trump electors broke any laws. The Justice Department is investigating the matter, and several Democratic secretaries of state and attorneys general have raised concerns about crimes like mail or election fraud. The Jan. 6 select committee is also probing the false electors for evidence of coordination with the Trump campaign or White House1.
So, yes, JFK’s electors did put forth alternate certificates in Hawaii during the 1960 election, which has drawn parallels to the situation with the false Trump electors in 20201.

Chesebro will now likely be facing perjury charges in Michigan. Depending on what he told prosecutors in Georgia, his plea deal could be revoked and he could be looking at more charges.

You're an idiot but I do like how you make crap up without any evidence.
