one, if it schaffer, who mentioned is the chairman of the georgia republican party. one is georgia senator sean still, who is the person that confirmed the identity of the electors and let them into the capital, where they proceeded to do their thing, and then kathy latham, who played a key role in the coffee county election system breach. we know that kathy latham no now has new council. we know that there is a ninth person whose identity remains tbd. do you have any suspicions about who dak could be and or, should i ask, barb, if that person is maybe kathy latham, could be the implications there in terms of criminal charges? >> yeah, it's hard to speculate as to who this might be and what their role is but new prosecutors typically like to work their way up the criminal chain and grant immunity to lower level defendants in exchange for the testimony and their cooperation, the way that prosecutors build cases all the time, so it may be that you take the eight, who already admittedly, and he asked them to talk about the role so some of the people that you just identi

we should also note that among the fake electors who now of enemy to deal, david schaffer, the architects plot and potential target of criminal prosecution. it always struck me that the fake elector part because it was written in paper and involved people falsely swearing and attesting to something on a document seemed like one of those things that may be in the realm of prosecutable crime is because of the existence of that paper evidence, something that maybe would be criminal. >> just like donald trump on tape. asking for 11,780 votes. sometimes, people who are committing crimes commit them transparently. chris, we've been talking about fake electors for two years. remember how bizarre this whole keeper was. i a group of random citizens showed up and say, they were the field electoral voters, not the electors for the guy who actually won. it's significant that the tva people who planned and let the fake elector scheme, they remain targets. apparently, they have not received offers of immunity. >> that's also interesting. this sort of distinguishing, also important because it's a stran

that includes david schaffer, the chairman of georgia's republican party.tempting to undermine the electoral college. but his lawyers say that he was only following the advice of trump's legal counsel. fulton county district attorney fani willis has indicated in the past that shaver might be charged with crimes. but that the news will not come into later this year. she first attorneys claim that he should be absolved of any criminal liability since he was only following legal advice. meanwhile, the eu's senate minority leader says that he is not sure if republicans will be able to retake the majority next year. during an exclusive interview with cnn, mitch mcconnell made it clear that he knows how quickly things can go south and said that he has been working behind the scenes for months. to find strong republican candidates in key races. o'connell adding quote, we do have the possibility of screwing this up. and that gets back to candid recruitment. i think that we've lost georgia, arizona, new hampshire because we did not have competitive candidates last c

so, i think it raises the temperature on david schaffer right now. >> where does the case go from here know willis has said or charge a decision wouldn't come before july, what is happening between now and then? >> there's still pretrial, pre charging decision, wrangling going on. the district attorney has to respond to trump's, the pro trump lawyers allegation, the whole case should be tossed out of court. they're still sit back and forth. but really, all eyes are on early july, that's the earliest she said that she could announce her decision on whether or not to go full with charges. she already has a grand jury's recommendations, and we've learned from interviews with the special grand jurors, they could involve big names. they haven't said which big names yet. but they could involve big names. but ultimately, the decision is -- whether to proceed with charges or not. >> okay, greg bluestein, thank you for bringing that up. we appreciate it. turning now to the supreme court in the new set of ethics issues threatening the credibility of justices on the bench. this week, propublica p
