it's somewhere between political propaganda and reality show hi jinx. if you're going to do the bad thing any way, the more you launder and publicize it fatigue, tire them out, the more you say, this wasn't a secret. how could it be bad if it wasn't a secret. the answer is, that was your strategy, and the bad news for some of the conspirators is they're writing it in the memo. there should be messaging that presents this as a routine measure. >> this is utterly mundane to people in law. >> today an ultimate slate of electors in contested states is going to vote, and we're going to send these results up the congress. >> there were alternate electors sent in 1876. tlrm alternate ones sent in 1960. that's called politics. >> routine politics et cetera. we put that together briefly for you to show you how you go from the written memo, which is
