Trump aides and 2020 'fake electors' charged with state crimes in Arizona

[Social Media]

 

Indictments have been handed down against individuals involved in the so-called "fake electors" scheme during the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. These indictments, which include key aides to former President Donald Trump, shed light on the extent of efforts to overturn the election results in favor of Trump.

 

The indictments stem from an incident one month after the 2020 election, where 11 Trump supporters convened to sign a certificate falsely claiming to be Arizona's electors to the Electoral College, despite Joe Biden's victory in the state. Among those charged is Kelli Ward, former chair of the Arizona GOP, who had been vocal in spreading baseless claims of election fraud.

 

Other individuals facing charges include state legislators, party activists, and Trump-aligned figures such as Tyler Bowyer, Michael Ward, and Greg Safsten. Notably, Trump himself is described as "Unindicted Coconspirator 1" in the indictment, signaling his alleged involvement in the scheme.

 

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump campaign official Mike Roman are also implicated in the indictment, albeit under redacted names. The involvement of Meadows and Roman underscores the extent of Trump's inner circle embroiled in the controversy.

 

The investigation, led by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, culminated in these charges after a thorough examination of the fake electors scheme. Mayes, a Democrat, emphasized her commitment to upholding American democracy and preventing its subversion.

 

These charges in Arizona are part of a broader trend of legal actions stemming from Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Similar cases have emerged in other states like Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan, where alternate electors falsely claimed Trump's victory.

The indictment sheds light on the strategy proposed by Trump's legal advisers, including John Eastman, to leverage the existence of alternate electors to overturn the election outcome. Despite Trump's loss in Arizona by a narrow margin, his attempts to pressure state officials and challenge the election results were met with resistance.

 

Mayes' tenure as Arizona attorney general has been characterized by her pursuit of election-related cases following Trump's false claims of fraud. Her actions underscore the importance of holding accountable those who seek to undermine the integrity of the electoral process.

 

As legal proceedings unfold, the Arizona case serves as a pivotal moment in the ongoing scrutiny of Trump's post-election actions and their repercussions. It highlights the resilience of democratic institutions in the face of attempts to subvert them, reaffirming the commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of elections.

And then, in a gift to Prosecutors, the fake electors signed the false statements on the fake documents and submitted them to the Federal Government for safe keeping.

 

I’m sure not the brightest The Grand Canyon State has to offer.

Who could have possibly known that appointing fake electors and trying to subvert a free and fair elections was against the law?

 

Goodness. Pretty soon the US might even outlaw Sedition and Insurrection, which are legitimate means of influence a post-election world in trumpistan.

[bendejo]

This is good.  Citizen Bannon has been working Arizona and Nevada with his neo-fascist monkeyshines, and it looks like the adults are finally stepping in.

One reason Trump wasn't indicted. He's already been indicted for this.

Trump was indicted in August in federal court over efforts to cling to power after his defeat, including the fake electors scheme. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday will hear arguments on his claim in that case that he can’t be prosecuted for acts he committed while serving as president.

The fake electors are such bozos they actually filmed the meeting where they signed fake certification letters, which they subsequently sent to Congress and the National Archives. They did the deed in Dec 2020.

 

One of the indicted members of trump's staff, who was involved in the fake production, is named Cristina Bobb. To give an example of 'you can't make this stuff up', Ms Bobb was just appointed chief of the Election Integrity Committee of the Republican National Committee.

 

trumpers...LOL

Thank god they are so inept they remind me of Wiley coyote except they cause real damage lock them up!!

[spidermike007]

They seemed to be living in a parallel universe, drinking alot of Don's kool-aid, and felt they were all above the law, on some sort of bizarre holy mission. Now, it is time to get some convictions and lock up the entire cabal. Including their Master. Clean the swamp. Lock up Bannon, Meadows and Trump. 

[Bangkok Barry]

Oh, the irony. Those claiming there was election fraud are charged with attempting election fraud themselves. Wonderful stuff. You couldn't make it up.

Absolutely. Anyone that has attempted to support Trump must be crushed using the full force of the state. 

 

And we must wait until such a time that it will be made clear that anyone that attempts to help in the future will be crushed in the same way. 

 

Why now? 

 

Meanwhile, let people flood across the border illegally and release repeat criminals arrested for violent crimes to the street on their own recognizance.

Maga movement is build on fear. I think it's time for you to think this through whether this obsession is healthy. No one has the desire to crush Trump. His crimes are not fabricated; he committed those crimes. The border is a problem and need to be solved by action of a bipartisan Congress.

He's guilty of one of  the most important ones insurrection. He not only incited insurrection he did nothing to protect the Capitol while it was being attacked.    For that alone he should be executed.

Are you incapable of reading the article ?  The wait was because the previous attorney general was a Republican and most of them are in on the sedition.   you don't "got it"

You don't know what the charges are, I thought not, thanks. 

 

Is the previous AG that conspired with then being charged sedition now the new Democrat AG has been elected? 

 

It seems to be your position that most Republicans are seditionist, correct? Should they not all be charged? 

 

[Yellowtail]

When they can't refute you, they call you a troll like little kids on a schoolyard, or leftists on a website.

If you don't know the charges, look by yourself instead of asking other posters to waste time doing it.

It's a lame trolling tactic.
