    Well this sounds a bit serious.

    Remember like 2 years ago when Trump tried to overthrow democracy, and one of the tactics were these fake ass electors that were going to attempt to give electoral votes for Trump despite Trump losing?

    Apparently, that may have been a bit criminal.

    Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) is reopening her investigation into the false electors in the state who signed a certificate claiming that former President Trump won the state in the 2020 presidential election.

    The Detroit News reported that Nessel said during a press call with the Democratic Attorneys General Association on Friday that the release of witness testimony and the final report from the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection provided “clear evidence” to support charges against the 16 fake electors who tried to overturn President Biden’s victory in the state.

    Nessel previously referred the case to federal prosecutors, saying last January that they were in a better position to look into what seemed to be a coordinated multi-state effort.

    But she said Friday that she was worried that a year has passed since then and was not sure what the federal government is going to do.

    “I think that type of activity can’t go without any consequences,” she said.

    The group of Republicans reportedly met at Michigan GOP headquarters on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign the certificate.

    Trump has them all transfixed. He will live in their heads forever.

    Is that what he does to his followers? So much so they may break the law to honor him?

    Or break the law to prosecute him. There are wackos on both sides of the Trump fixation phenomena.

    I'm going to remember you said this and when I quote you you'll say 'but that's different.'

    As for Trump, eliminate him from 2024 and face DeSantis who will be harder to beat, much harder.

    Using the IRS to target a political figure for his entire term in office and since? Nothing to see there, happens in every civilized country.
