"Shafer, one of Trump's so-called "false electors," argues in his filing that "as a contingent Presidential Elector, Mr. Shafer was an officer of the United States."
Wait, he's just signed another legal document claiming to be an elector after being arrested for doing it the first time?
You can't arrest me for pretending to be a diplomat, I have diplomatic immunity!
Attorney John Eastman and co-defendant Scott Hall, two of the 18 co-defendants charged in the Georgia election interference case alongside former President Donald Trump, have been booked at the Fulton County Jail, according to the Fulton County Inmate Record Database.
Eastman is charged with nine counts, including two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree. The indictment names him as among those allegedly involved in a scheme to solicit public officers to unlawfully appoint Georgia presidential electors.
"He is going to trial, there will be no plea deal," Eastman's attorney told ABC News.
Do anyone think Trump will actually surrender to the police? I hope he makes a run for it.
Run like OJ, Donald!
Didn't he already do it for the three other cases he got indicted and appeared for arrest? He just has to put down $20K in bond and just turns around and leaves. No one is doing prints or mugshots because he's probably one of the most easily recognized people in the world.
Sheriff says there will be a mugshot this time. Only time will tell though…
I hope there is a mugshot. It will be on shirts and coffee mugs in no time.
Both supporters and detractors will buy them, someone's going to get rich.
That'd be lovely.
I remember those AI generated pictures of him running away from the cops. With every passing day, the chances of it actually happening grows.
Would LOVE to see it.
