I am absolutely disgusted by the lawfare against President Trump by the Democrats.
This is all being orchestrated by Biden, as punishment against a political opponent. Total banana republic stuff.
Well, unfortunately, we are dealing with similar politically motivated lawfare here om Arizona.
Dem Kris Mayes- whose election was likely stolen in 2022 by only a couple hundred votes with 9,000 left to be counted- is indicting several GOP electors from 2020.
Because "it is her job to get Biden re-elected", she is indicting several high ranking Republicans- including two current state senators.
This is election interference- and this weak case will be shut down.
The indictments include high-profile and powerful Republicans in Arizona, including Kelli Ward, former chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, and her husband Michael Ward. Two current GOP state lawmakers, Jake Hoffman from Queen Creek and Anthony Kern from Glendale, were also named in the indictment.
The group of 11 was nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors and met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. The Arizona Republican Party posted a one-minute video of the signing ceremony on social media at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.
The alleged phony electors are now facing felony counts of fraud, forgery and conspiracy.
Sen. Hoffman released a statement shortly after the indictments were announced last week:
“Before an investigation had even been conducted and with no evidence, Kris Mayes declared that she believed electors such as myself were guilty of a crime, that it was her job to get Biden re-elected, and that she would control the timing of the indictment,” Hoffman said in an emailed statement. “Now, unsurprisingly, we see that she has weaponized the once respected Attorney General’s office to deliver an indictment of her Republican political opponents years after the events at issue, long after other Democrat prosecutors made their decisions, and right before Arizona’s primary elections. Let me be unequivocal, I am innocent of any crime, I will vigorously defend myself, and I look forward to the day when I am vindicated of this naked political persecution by the judicial process.”
Kern, currently running for the U.S. House in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, has previously called Mayes’ investigation a “joke” and has said that he is refusing to cooperate with her office, adding that he has done nothing wrong.
The Arizona Republican Party released a statement, calling the indictments “politically motived” and said Mayes abused her power.
On Thursday, a statement was also released by attorney Kurt Altman, who’s representing eight of the 11 from Arizona.
“We are disappointed that indictments were returned against our clients. However we are encouraged that now the court process is in motion where rules govern rather than the ever-changing whims of politicians. As I’ve said before, our clients look forward to their day in court.”
Let's be real clear.
The reason for this political hit job is to "elect Joe Biden", in the words of Democrat Kris Mayes.
The other reason is to hobble the GOP majority in the Senate.
The Dems are trying to punish every patriot who questioned the 2020 election and its conduct.
