Michigan’s Republican legislators publicly reject Donald Trump’s conspiracies after meeting with him

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Remember when Palmer Report told you that Donald Trump’s meeting with Michigan’s Republican legislators wasn’t going to add up to anything? Sure enough, the Michigan Republicans just issued this statement, per CNN:

“We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as leg leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan’s electors.”

In other words, it was a whole lot of nothing. They took the meeting because Trump asked them to, but they’re not stupid enough to risk getting themselves criminally charged by illegally giving Biden’s electoral votes to Trump – particularly considering the courts would immediately strike such nonsense anyway. Now they’re announcing that the “evidence” Trump showed them today wasn’t anything.

Today’s meeting never should have happened. Donald Trump certainly committed felony election tampering by pushing for the meeting, and we think Michigan’s Republican legislators should be criminally investigated by the Michigan Attorney General for good measure; conspiring to commit a felony is still a felony, even if you don’t go through with the felony. But this was never going to be a real thing. There is zero chance of Trump somehow magically stealing Michigan.
