The Arizona grand jury that indicted 18 Republican supporters of Donald Trump who falsely claimed he won the state in the 2020 election wanted to consider also charging the former president, but prosecutors urged them not to, according to court documents filed this week.
The court records filed by Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office contain exchanges between prosecutors and the grand jurors, who heard 18 days of testimony.
As grand jurors were considering possible charges, a prosecutor asked them not to indict Trump, citing a U.S. Justice Department policy that limits the prosecution of someone for the same crime twice and making a PowerPoint presentation on that policy. The prosecutor, who isn’t identified in the records, also didn’t know whether authorities had all the evidence they would need to charge Trump at that time.
What is with people downvoting the bot?
LiBrUl MeDiA bOt
People seem to think those of us that dislike mediabias bot are downvoting because we don’t like the “liberal media” when I’m a blue voter… I hate the bot because I don’t like the idea of people simply looking to one “authority” on something and trusting it without actually reading the article or doing their own research. Plus it pushes ground news. Which sounds I guess good in theory, but considering they’re advertising like crazy through YouTubers, and the history of advertisers on YouTubers that end up being found to be doing shitty practices… I’m downvoting because who watches the watchmen kind of idea. This is trying to act as the watchmen and it just is another dumbing down of people who refuse to simply look into something themselves and understand bias in their own capacity.
Downvoting will certainly accomplish something or other.
Thanks for answering my question. I guess I still don’t really get it. But whatever. You do you.
