Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report details President-elect Trump’s multifaceted scheme to overturn the 2020 election, including pressuring state officials, the fake electors plot, and his actions on January 6th. The report, concluding that sufficient evidence existed for conviction, outlines Trump’s awareness of the falsity of his claims and his refusal to quell the January 6th riot. Trump was charged with four felonies related to this effort; however, the case was dismissed following his election victory. Trump dismissed the report as politically motivated.

The judge overseeing the Arizona “fake elector” case has recused himself after accusations of personal bias were levied against him by the defense. This move has sparked a firestorm of debate, highlighting the increasingly polarized political landscape and the delicate balance between judicial impartiality and perceived bias.
The defense claimed that the judge’s past emails, which expressed concern about a rise in discriminatory language and advocated for standing up against such rhetoric, demonstrated an anti-Trump bias. This accusation, while seemingly stemming from a legitimate desire for an unbiased judge, has been met with mixed reactions. Some argue that the judge’s actions were justified and commendable, demonstrating a commitment to ethical principles and a willingness to prioritize fairness over potential political repercussions.… Continue reading
Despite the recent election of Donald Trump, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has stated unequivocally that she will not drop the criminal case against 18 individuals, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who were indicted for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona. Mayes has assured the public that she will not be intimidated by potential threats from Trump’s legal team and is committed to holding accountable those who engaged in actions that undermine democracy. The case, which involves allegations of conspiracy to use fake electors, serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to address the events of the 2020 election and ensure that such attempts to subvert the democratic process are not repeated.

I find it incredibly ironic that Republicans charged in the fake electors plot are now unable to afford lawyers. The court will provide them with a public defender, which seems fitting given their lack of financial responsibility. It’s almost comical to see individuals who claim to stand for personal accountability and self-sufficiency now relying on taxpayer-funded legal representation.
While some may argue that public defenders are a form of socialism, I believe it is a necessary part of our justice system to ensure that everyone has access to legal representation, regardless of their financial status. It’s a reminder that the legal system should be fair and just for all, not just for those who can afford high-priced attorneys.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent events surrounding Rudy Giuliani, I can’t help but feel a sense of poetic justice in the universe. The fact that he was served with an indictment for his involvement with fake electors in Arizona during his 80th birthday party just goes to show that karma truly is a force to be reckoned with. Instead of quietly celebrating with loved ones, he found himself at the center of legal drama, all because of his own hubris and ego.
It’s hard to imagine being 80 years old and being hit with *another* indictment. To have lived a lifetime in the public eye, serving as a mayor and a lawyer, only to end up being a punchline for late-night comedians and podcasters is a sad fall from grace.… Continue reading
Mark Meadows, the once chief of staff to former President Donald Trump, is now facing nine felony charges in Arizona related to the expansive fake electors case. These charges include conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices, and felony forgery allegations. The severity of these charges, ranging from Class 2 felony to Class 1 felony, could potentially lead to serious consequences, with sentencing guidelines indicating prison time from 1.5 years to life.
The fact that Meadows, a key figure in Trump’s inner circle, is now facing these charges is a significant development. It raises questions about the integrity and actions of those within the highest levels of government.… Continue reading
I am floored by the recent news of Trump’s 2020 ‘fake electors’ being charged with state crimes in Arizona. The unredacted list of names involved in this scandal reads like a who’s who of Trump’s inner circle, with Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and Sidney Powell among those indicted. These individuals, who were once trusted advisors and legal representatives, are now facing serious charges of conspiracy, fraud, and forgery. It is truly shocking to see such brazen attempts to subvert the will of the people and undermine our democratic processes.
The fact that Trump himself is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator is mind-boggling.… Continue reading
