Episode 726: Direct Ties to Trump for Fake Elector Scheme? Epstein List is Out; Boebert Tries to Win over New Constituents

This week on Ring of Fire!


The chances of Donald Trump being charged for the fake elector
scheme in the state of Michigan are increasing, as investigators
in the state have now directly tied Trump's campaign to the fake
elector plot. In addition to the new links, Michigan prosecutors
also have multiple Trump allies cooperating with their
investigation, including three of Trump's former legal advisers:
Kenneth Chesebro, Boris Epshteyn, and John Eastman.


New Epstein documents were unsealed this week, and they contain
some pretty shocking allegations about Donald Trump's activities
with the victims of Epstein. According to one of the victims,
another one of the victims had told her that she was involved in
a sexual relationship with Trump, going as far as to describe
some of the lewd compliments that he would give her during their
encounters. These new revelations came after Alan Dershowitz
asked for the documents to be unsealed so he could discredit the
victim.


A new audio tape has emerged that appears to show Donald Trump
ally and political operative Roger Stone talking with a friend of
his (who happened to be a police officer) about plans to
assassinate Democratic lawmakers Jerrold Nadler and Eric
Swalwell. He wasn't talking hypotheticals or fantasies, either:
He specifically said that the time to act was NOW. Stone denies
that the voice on the tape is his, claiming that it was generated
by artificial intelligence.


Lauren Boebert held her first event with the constituents of her
new district this week, and she decided to open things up by
addressing the elephant in the room: Her grotesque behavior at
the Beetlejuice Musical a few months ago. But rather than trying
to put it behind her, she thought it would be a good idea to make
light of the situation and told a joke about it. This might work
for someone in the entertainment industry, but for someone
running for Congress is felt more like Boebert never learned a
lesson from her behavior.


During Tuesday's hearing on whether or not Donald Trump has
"absolute immunity" from prosecution, his lawyer John Sauer was
asked by a judge if immunity would prevent a President (like
Trump) from being prosecuted for ordering the assassination of
one of his political rivals. The lawyer, without even hesitating,
said "YES" to that question. Sauer claimed that the only way a
president could be criminally prosecuted is if they had been
successfully convicted during an impeachment, but the judge
didn't seem to buy that argument.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire!
