Nessel, kissing her "wife" on election night.

Michigan’s Attorney General hasn’t covered herself in glory throughout the COVID pandemic. That apparently isn’t going to change with her behavior towards the election as well.
The liberal Democrat is now exploring whether state legislators who met with Donald Trump this week are guilty of criminal conduct. Yes, you read that right.
Jonathan Turley lays out some of the details in his piece on the matter
Michigan AG Nessel and others are suggesting that Republicans who oppose certification or even meet with President Trump on the issue could be criminally investigated or charged. Once again, the media is silent on this abusive use of the criminal code. https://t.co/IlEQ3roKsE

According to the Washington Post, Dana Nessel “is conferring with election law experts on whether officials may have violated any state laws prohibiting them from engaging in bribery, perjury and conspiracy.” It is same weaponization of the criminal code for political purposes that we have seen in the last four years against Trump. Notably, the focus is the same discredited interpretation used against Trump and notably not adopted by the impeachment-eager House Judiciary Committee: bribery.

The danger for Shirkey and Chatfield, then, is that they are being visibly invited to a meeting where the likely agenda involves the felony of attempting to bribe a public official.Under Michigan law, any member of the Legislature who “corruptly” accepts a promise of some beneficial act in return for exercising his authority in a certain way is “forever disqualified to hold any public office” and “shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 10 years[.]”
Can’t you just feel the unity being brought on by a possible Biden administration?
This is the kind of idiocy percolating on the left even as they accuse Republicans of destroying democracy by allowing legal challenges to pay out. In reality, nothing is going to happen here, but suggesting this is bad enough. Trump has no bribed anyone from Michigan, nor are any state officials who met with Trump guilty of engaged in such activity. That the chief “law enforcement” official in the state would explore such nonsense shows how politically compromised she is.
Remember this the next time Democrats try to lecture the GOP about coming together and taking the temperature down in our political environment. Over and over, the left continues to show itself as the side that believes in quashing free speech and targeting political enemies. We’ve certainly seen ample evidence of that over the last four years. This is just the latest example.
Unfortunately, Michigan continues to live on the edge as a purple state, where a slim majority continue to put figures like this in office, from Nessel to Gretchen Whitmer as Governor. At the end of the day, you get what you vote for.
She should send the Sheriff right over to arrest President Trump.
Sounds to me like sedition. Lock her up.
Nessel, kissing her "wife" on election night.
Detroit elects the states gov,, LT Gov, AG, etc, etc, now.
Should be on adult movies not government.
That's why everyone should have a heavy duty wood chipper.
She should investigate those who met with the Dominion salesperson in 2019, who now works for the Federal government approving voting machines.
That would be interesting...I bet the conflicts of interest and bank statements would be “grand”
Just keep in mind that the Michigan AG is a wholy owned property of George Soros. He bought her outright.
Would love the see the rabid commie beotch do it.
The discovery would be soooooo delicious.
We are going to look into these idiots Chinese connections.
Michigan needs to dump its coven of witches who rule over the state.
Democraps never hesitate to charge people and if they don’t send them to jail they at least feel good about bankrupting their target funding their legal defense.
More proof that criminal democrats want to use lawfare to destroy any enemy of theirs. We must stop these horrible people called democrats.
JoMa
Gag me with a spoon
There is a way to halt all this Leftist Marxist Authoritarian BS, but we don’t want to go there cause it is an ‘unthinkable’ in the 21st century given we have already experienced such before, right peeps?
Yes they do
Put the DOJ on it, they don’t arrest anybody.
> Michigan needs to dump its coven of witches who rule over the state.
Having now learned how the ‘vote’ happens, is anyone seriously suggesting Michigan citizens elected this?
Well, at least they aren’t as horrifyingly unattractive as most women of that persuasion...
