“#Chesebro soon began doing #legal work for #national #Republicans…, joining #Troupis as #counsel for Sens #MikeLee of UT & #TedCruz of TX & others on an amicus brief in the fall of 2018 that backed the UT #GOP in its efforts to assert greater #control over the selection of party nominees.

“He also became a GOP #donor, first that fall to candidates running for federal office in #Wisconsin & then, starting in 2020, to numerous national Republicans. He contributed $2,800 to #Trump’s reelection….

“#Eastman, who would go on to advise #Trump after the 2020 election… was also #indicted Mon in #Georgia.

“#Chesebro worked again w/a Claremont Inst affiliate in ‘18, on a #Wisconsin case that involved a poli-sci prof who argued he was improperly suspended after criticizing a grad student on his #conservative blog. The case became a fault line in vexed debates over campus #speech. Also involved was #Troupis, the WI #lawyer & fmr county judge who would… represent the #Trump campaign in the state.

“…friends said his politics seemed to shift after he reaped sizable returns from his investments in cryptocurrency in the past half-decade. He began to stake out more-#libertarian positions in #legal briefs, especially in his home state of #Wisconsin, where he started donating to #Republicans & working w/ a fmr judge, Jim #Troupis, who #Chesebro would later testify under oath had brought him into #Trump’s orbit.
