    As a public service, and because source documents rule, here in .pdf is everything available via the PACER electronic filing system filed today in the new United States v. Trump prosecution in the District of Columbia:

    [UPDATE: 7:10pm] Co-Conspirator key, per the NYT's carefully worded guess:

    ===quote===
    ... The identities of the co-conspirators could not immediately be determined, but the descriptions of them appear to match up with a number of people who were central to the investigation into election tampering conducted by prosecutors working for Mr. Smith.

    Among those people central to the inquiry were Rudolph W. Giuliani, a lawyer who oversaw Mr. Trump’s attempts to claim the election was marred by widespread fraud; John Eastman, a law professor who provided the legal basis to overturn the election by manipulating the count of electors to the Electoral College; Sidney Powell, a lawyer who pushed Mr. Trump to use the military to seize voting machines and rerun the election; Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official at the time; and Kenneth Chesebro and James Troupis, lawyers who helped flesh out the plan to use fake electors pledged to Mr. Trump in states that were won by President Biden.

    I wonder what Florida's politically powerful sugar industry thinks of their guy warning a girl about the high sugar content of ICEEs at a 4-H event in Iowa.

    (I actually like ICEEs and hope he doesn't ban them if he gets in the White House. Republican nanny state.)

    I assume you are also going to talk about Devon Archer and the "illusion of influence" nonsense being bantered around by the MSM?

        That's the guy. Given the crowd Hunter hung out with, not too surprising. But worth a discussion. Everyone else is talking about it. But if you think Biden is squeaky clean then so be it. I personally think it needs to be looked into.
