China Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Jury finds former Milwaukee election official guilty of obtaining fake absentee ballots A jury found a former Milwaukee election official accused of obtaining fake absentee ballots guilty Wednesday of misconduct in office and fraud, rejecting her arguments that she was trying to expose vulnerabilities in the state’s election system. Prosecutors charged Kimberly Zapata in November 2022 with one felony count of misconduct in public office and three misdemeanor counts of election fraud. The jury found her guilty in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on all four counts after starting deliberations Wednesday morning. Zapata faces up to five years behind bars when she’s sentenced on May 2. Zapata was serving as deputy director at the Milwaukee Election Commission in October 2022 when she used her work-issued laptop to obtain three military absentee ballots using fake names and Social Security numbers, according to a criminal complaint. She sent the ballots to Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, an election conspiracy theorist, two weeks before the state’s gubernatorial and legislative elections. Brandtjen has advocated for decertifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 win in Wisconsin and has espoused conspiracy theories supporting her position.

China Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Exclusive: Georgia DA plans to press ahead in effort to put Trump on trial before election Fani Willis, the embattled Fulton County District Attorney, plans to press ahead with her goal of putting Donald Trump on trial before the November election, and intends to ask the judge presiding over the Georgia criminal case to schedule a trial date as soon as this summer, according to three people familiar with her thinking. It’s a bold move considering the hurdles Willis faces in getting the case back on track after a two-month detour revealed embarrassing details of her personal life, damaging her credibility in the eyes of Judge Scott McAfee and leaving her politically vulnerable ahead of her own reelection bid in November.

Cooked Crack Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Quote A Florida mother was sentenced Tuesday to a month in prison and three months of home confinement for stealing and selling President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary four years ago to the conservative group Project Veritas. Aimee Harris was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who called the Palm Beach, Florida, woman’s actions “despicable.” Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in August 2022, admitting that she received $20,000 of the $40,000 that was paid by Project Veritas for personal items belonging to the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Trump is unindicted co-conspirator in 2020 Michigan fake electors probe, investigator testifies Former President Donald Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Michigan attorney general’s probe into the attempts to overturn the 2020 election in that state, an investigator testified Wednesday. The investigator also said the list of unindicted co-conspirators includes ex-Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis. The revelations came at a pretrial hearing in Lansing for some of Michigan’s fake electors, who have been charged by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel in her investigation into the attempts to subvert the 2020 election. Nessel, a Democrat, charged 16 fake Republican electors from Michigan last summer. CNN reported in December that the investigation was ongoing and appeared to be expanding. One of those charged already agreed to cooperate with Nessel’s prosecutors, in exchange for the charges being dropped. The remaining 15 defendants have all pleaded not guilty. Special agent Howard Shock, one of the lead investigators in Nessel’s probe, was asked Wednesday in court by a defense attorney for one of the fake electors to confirm whether specific people are co-conspirators. Shock answered “yes” when the lawyer asked about Trump, Meadows, Giuliani and Ellis. Trump, Giuliani, Meadows and Ellis aren’t facing charges in Michigan. They were all indicted in Georgia’s sweeping 2020 election interference case. Ellis pleaded guilty in that case last year; the others deny wrongdoing.

China Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Experts: Trump associates "in a world of hurt" — may cooperate after they're "left holding the bag" Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorney Rudy Giuliani and other associates of former President Donald Trump were indicted Wednesday in Arizona over efforts to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat in the state. An Arizona grand jury handed down charges, including felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, against 18 total defendants, 11 of whom were fake electors, according to The New York Times. Trump, who faces criminal charges in Georgia and federal charges over alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election, is also referenced as "unindicted co-conspirator 1." The 58-page indictment makes Arizona the fourth state to bring an election interference case over the Trump campaign's activities in 2020, but only the second — after Georgia — to charge more than the false electors the campaign enlisted in the states Trump lost. "I think it's a righteous indictment, but it certainly didn't need to take this long" to charge, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Salon. "Now, they're going to be really at the back of the line in terms of criminal cases." Taking three-and-a-half years from the time of the alleged misconduct to charge the case is "surprising, to say the least," he added, noting later that the case amounts to "more [of] the same" fake electors plot conduct that other jurisdictions have brought indictments over. Trump skirting charges in the case was "the most surprising" aspect, Rahmani said. "I mean, you either believe that he's part of the scheme or not. In fact, he's the one that benefits the most from the conspiracy. So why wouldn't you charge him?" Kreis hypothesized on X that Mayes may not have sought charges against the former president for a number of reasons, including it being an election year with Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee, her possibly wanting to avoid the likely "headache" of joining the pipeline of Trump's four other criminal cases, and her potentially aiming for a "cleaner prosecution" by waiting out the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity. Legal experts also took note of the absence of Trump-aligned lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, another architect of the fake electors plot, from the list of defendants, with some speculating it suggests he may be cooperating with prosecutors. For Donald Trump, the indictment "doesn't mean a whole lot," Rahmani explained, arguing that the former president will "obviously" choose not to testify and won't "show up to this case." "In other words, co-defendants and co-conspirators may be left holding the bag," Goodman writes. "That dawning reality may create incentives for some of these individuals to cooperate with law enforcement authorities sooner than later."

LadySkinsFan Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 He's an unindicted co-conspirator, which means if one or more of the others decide to save themselves and roll over on him. The AG needs some more evidence against him to take to a grand jury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted Tuesday at 12:08 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:08 AM Michigan AG executes search warrants on Google and X in ongoing 2020 fake electors probe Google and X, formerly Twitter, recently provided hundreds of files to Michigan prosecutors for their 2020 election subversion probe, complying with search warrants that investigators obtained after CNN revealed secret social media accounts belonging to pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who played a major role in the fake electors plot. The previously unreported warrants gave prosecutors access to new Chesebro emails and his private direct messages on Twitter. The warrants make clear that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is still gathering new information in her probe, nine months after she charged the state’s fake electors with forgery and other crimes for signing certificates falsely claiming Donald Trump won the state in 2020. A top member of her team testified last week that the investigation is ongoing and that Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, which is not expected to go to trial before the November election. Michigan is among a number of states to investigate fake electors schemes. Just last week, Arizona prosecutors filed criminal charges against the pro-Trump electors there and allies of the former president who were involved in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. According to the new documents provided to Michigan prosecutors, which were obtained by CNN, Chesebro fruitlessly tried to bring several controversial pro-Trump figures to Washington, DC, to watch his “fake electors” strategy unfold on January 6, 2021. He offered to pay for airfare and lodging at Trump’s upscale DC hotel for former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, as well as for the founder of the Gateway Pundit conspiracy website, among others. It doesn’t appear that anyone accepted his offers. These messages also show how Chesebro aggressively reached out to conservative pundits and right-wing figures after Trump lost the 2020 election, prodding them to publicly promote his long-shot theories for how to subvert the Electoral College process.

China Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Mark Meadows unmasked in Arizona fake electors indictment, faces 9 felony charges: Report Charges have formally been made public against Mark Meadows, the onetime chief of staff to former President Donald Trump, in the expansive fake electors case now underway in Arizona. Trump is not charged in Arizona but is considered an unindicted co-conspirator. As Law&Crime recently reported, 18 fake electors in the state were indicted by a grand jury on April 24 for their alleged efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election. Though several Republicans were named directly in the fraud and forgery indictment including, among others, leaders of the state’s Republican party and two incumbent state lawmakers, some of those charged had their identities redacted, including Meadows and Trump’s former attorney also facing indictment in Georgia, Rudy Giuliani. Formal charges have still not been confirmed for Giuliani in Arizona. The Associated Press reported first on Wednesday that the state’s attorney’s general office confirmed Meadows was being charged with nine felony counts and has been served. The nine felony charges Meadows faces in Arizona include conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices, and fraudulent schemes and practices. The remaining charges are felony forgery allegations. An attorney for Meadows did not immediately respond to a request for comment to Law&Crime on Friday.

Bang Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) honestly, what in the **** is an Unindicted co-conspirator? Just ridiculous bull****, more pretend teeth from our impotent 'law'.. Did he conspire? Then ****ing INDICT HIM. How is it this hard? We literally refuse to treat this criminal like a ****ing criminal. We pretend all of this is a normal candidacy, and we tiptoe around this fat ****ing swindling traitor and ALL OF US KNOW IT IS NOT. Even his ****ing SUPPORTERS know it. This country of laws has allowed a middle school level bully do whatever the **** he wants. And even though it's nice to see SOME of these trials, does anyone at all harbor any actual hope that ANYTHING will happen to him as a result? Unbelievably this incontinent feeble con man could again win the presidency (steal) and that is IT. All over. Done. We act like it can't happen. We act like it isn't possible to repeat history. We rely on hope and toothless courts to make the bad man go away. The rough and tough United States, cowed by a fat stupid con man who ****s in his pants. Revolting. ~Bang Edited 4 hours ago by Bang 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
