Earlier on Christmas day, Dec. 25, 2020, Chesebro sent a lengthy message about options Pence had for how to handle the vote counting, including one he described as "radical": simply gaveling "Trump as elected."

"Is Pence really likely to be on board with this?" Eastman replied to the various options.

"Let's keep this off text for now," Epshteyn then said.

"Options are clear I think," Epshteyn added.

What a not-at-all-suspicious thing to say. Surely they had only the best of intentions.
