Enablers
Not officeholders — the machinery. The lawyers who filed the suits, the chiefs of staff who moved the paper, the corporations that resumed the checks after a decent interval, the militia leaders who supplied the bodies. Power like this is never held alone; this register names the people and institutions who made it possible.
The register in chronological order
Every entry in this register rests on something that happened on a particular day. Laid end to end they read as a sequence rather than a list, which is how the pattern becomes visible. Undated claims are not filed here.
Out of office
A federal court finds the obstruction of the joint session more likely than not
Ordering documents disclosed to the Select Committee, the court finds it more likely than not that the president corruptly attempted to obstruct the joint session, and describes the plan as a coup in search of a legal theory. The finding is made on a civil preponderance standard in a privilege dispute.
Seditious conspiracy convictions
A federal jury convicts the founder of the Oath Keepers and a co-defendant of seditious conspiracy for conduct connected to the Capitol attack. Sentencing follows in 2023.
Damages awarded to two Georgia election workers
A jury awards damages for defamation arising from false claims about two election workers counting ballots in 2020. Liability had been established by default before trial.
Disbarment in New York
The Appellate Division finds that statements made about the 2020 election in the course of representing the campaign were knowingly false, and strikes the respondent from the roll of attorneys.
