They all knew what they were doing.
Or just don't sign important government documents if you don't understand them.
Two hilarious take-aways from this story: Anderson Cooper: I mean, it's not exactly a profile in courage.
and this
Anderson Cooper: Did you know what Chesebro looked like? Alesha Guenther: So he had actually sent me a selfie.
One sad take-away: Anderson Cooper: You're saying you were scared? Andrew Hitt: Absolutely. Anderson Cooper: Scared of Trump supporters in your state? Andrew Hitt: It was not a safe time. If my lawyer is right, and the whole reason Trump loses Wisconsin is because of me, I would be scared to death.
Whether he is exaggerating or lying about how he felt, it's really depressing that I wouldn't be surprised if his life really were in danger from Trump supporters.
EDIT: Forgot to finish my last sentence.
Was it just me, or was this “interview” impossible to read? Was this written or transcribed by AI?
Yeah, it looks like they transcribed both the interview AND the video clips spliced in-between interview questions. In a video world, that flows smoothly because you can see when there is a change in scene. In text, though, it's just a weird change in font that doesn't really pull you out of the interview mode.
It’s easy to believe they were manipulated fools. They still committed the crime but hopefully those who orchestrated it are also brought to justice
