State Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the indictments of Trump aides and allies after an investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
There's a theory that they're working towards that. Convict the small fish while gathering evidence and establishing the truth. Maybe even get some to turn and inform. You don't shoot at the king and miss.
3.5 years just to indict the small fries, let alone convict before going after the big fish. Trump is going to be dead before consequences from Arizona land on him.
Yeah, that argument may have worked 1 or 2 years ago, but the thing is that there is a deadline for nailing him. If he gets reelected then that ship has sailed.
Seems like a problem when you can't prosecute people for trying to steal an election within an election cycle. It seems absolutely batshit to me that they're going to be allowed to participate in a democracy that they tried to overthrow. It's one thing telling people to get out there and vote against them, but these treasonous fuckers cheated last time and they're going to do it again.
It’s been so damn long, I was starting to wonder if what they did wasn’t technically a crime, for some weird reason you’d have to be a legal expert to understand.
Building a solid case takes time. You don't want them to win. You don't want them to go free on appeal. You want it done right. NAL, just relaying context someone else pointed out to me when I had the same complaint.
The state Republican Party documented the signing of the certificate in a social media post and sent it to Congress and the National Archives.
Send the elector choice back to the legislatures.” Ward was a consistent propagator of false claims that Arizona’s election results were rigged.
Others charged include: state legislators Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman; Michael Ward, Kelli Ward’s husband; Tyler Bowyer, the RNC’s Arizona committeeman and the chief operating officer of the Trump-aligned Turning Point USA; Greg Safsten, the former Arizona GOP executive director; former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Lamon; Robert Montgomery, the former head of the Cochise County GOP; and Republican Party activists Samuel Moorhead, Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino.
The Arizona charges are the latest example of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election sprouting into legal cases during his 2024 bid to retake office.
Attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of the planners of the alleged scheme, pled guilty last year in Georgia on conspiracy charges brought against him, Trump and 17 others in the state.
He is also believed to be one of the unidentified co-conspirators described by Special Counsel Jack Smith in his federal election interference indictment of Trump last year.

Specifying the party of the attorney general is irrelevant to serving justice. The piece is written solely for more clicks from conservative outrage over the "liberal conspiracy". Bad NBC, bad!
I'm sure these fake electors and their whining apologists will whine about how it's all so unfair. They should be glad they are not in front of a firing squad for what they tried to do.
