Morty, your meme refers to the Virginia-based Energy behemoth Dominion Energy Services, Inc., which has nothing whatsoever to do with the company Dominion Voting Services.

But then again, you already knew that didn't you dear.

Was it just an honest mistake, Morty?

I'm curious.

Quote:

Trump's advisers thought his plan was 'nuts', and warned of street riots

The committee played videotaped testimony from Eric Herschmann, a lawyer advising Mr Trump, expressing incredulity at Mr Eastman's theory that a vice-president could overturn an election.

"Are you out of your effing mind?" Mr Herschmann recalled asking Mr Eastman in the recorded testimony.

"You're going to turn around and tell 78-plus million people in this country that your theory is this is how you're going to invalidate their votes?" he said.

"You're going to cause riots in the streets."

Mr Herschmann said Mr Eastman dismissively said "words to the effect of, 'There's been violence in the history of our country to protect the democracy or protect the Republic.'"

A text message from Fox News's Sean Hannity to Mr Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows about the plan in the run-up to January 6 read: "I'm very worried about the next 48 hours."

Mr Trump's campaign adviser Jason Miller said those around Mr Trump called it "crazy".

Greg Jacob, an attorney for Mr Pence, said the main proponent of that theory, attorney John Eastman, admitted in front of Mr Trump two days before the attack that his plan to have Mr Pence halt the procedure would violate the law.

Mr Jacob said that even Mr Eastman didn't appear to believe his own wild theories.

"He said, 'Absolutely, Al Gore did not have a basis to do it in 2000. Kamala Harris shouldn't be able to do it in 2024 but I think you should do it today,'" Mr Jacob recounted of one conversation with Mr Eastman.

The committee has said the plan was illegal, and a federal judge has said it is "more likely than not" Mr Trump committed crimes in his attempt to stop the certification.

Retired federal judge Michael Luttig called the plan from Mr Eastman, his former law clerk, "incorrect at every turn", and said he would "have laid my body across the road before I would have let the vice-president overturn the 2020 election."

Is this Trumps death knell ? He was advised that pursuing this avenue was not onlu illegal but that it could cause riots and he pursued it anyway.

They certainly are.

They saw the word 'Dominion' and didn't even stop to consider that there might be more than one company in the world with that name.

Morty has an awful lot of egg on his face with this one

Excuse I, Mort, is this true? Your ex-hero, the great AG Barr, received funds from Dominion Energy rather than Dominion Voting Systems?

Why didn't you say?

Greggery's gone to the trouble of researching your claim and come up with the truth, but it raises an important question. Why are you coming to our board to spread fake claims?

And if you would spread porkies about your former heroes, what else have you told fibs about? More importantly, what do you plan to lie about in future? Is it possible that your entire purpose here is to sow falsehood and spread fake news?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Yes but are you sure that Dominion Voting Systems? were not using Dominion Energy ?

There is some Synergy Energy in that but I think they are different - NO ?

Only Mort will be able to answer that, Dnarever. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

The alternative, I fear, is too hard to fathom. Imagine, people coming to our board to spread misinformation and foreign propaganda in a naked attempt to seize power and destroy democracy.

So no, I'm sure Mort meant something totally different.
