Fox News Host Defends Fake Electors Schemes

Media Matters has the transcript:

The committee wants to try and tie Trump directly to the leaders of the mob that attacked the Capitol. Seditious conspiracy. Well, ladies and gentlemen, have you seen any of that?

Any of the emails, any of the texts, any of the firsthand testimony, anything on a graphic, anything on a video, anything by anybody, anywhere?

Despite the fact that this committee has free reign, you haven’t seen any. There’s been no conspiracy to defraud the United States. There’s been no obstruction. There’s been no seditious conspiracy.

Oh, well, what about these so-called fake electors? That is to be resolved by the United States Congress. That is not a crime either.

You might not like it. You might think it’s weird, you might think it’s unethical, but it’s not a crime.

So to criminalize politics, to criminalize many of these things that have gone on in this country through its history, to completely misunderstand what the Electoral College is all about.

And when the election is finally over, which is why they meet on January 6, to make that decision is to take the criminal law process and project it on top of the Constitution to pervert it.
