We have been discussing the use of the criminal code by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) to threaten people who post videos on alleged voter fraud or legislators who raise such objections in the state. These threats are coercive and abusive, particularly when targeting opponents of your party who are challenging the victory of your candidate for president. Yet, as shown by a congressman seeking to disbar dozens of Trump lawyers, such threats are popular in today’s rage-filled politics. So, Nessel continued her threats of prosecution on Monday in warning that a former state senator could be prosecuted for alleging possible voter fraud at a meeting of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers. So, raising voting fraud at the board overseeing voting is now a possible basis for prosecution in Michigan.
Former state Sen. Patrick Colbeck (R) raised his concerns during the meeting. He was appropriately asked if he had brought his allegations of voter fraud to the state attorney general. Julie Matuzak (D) asked “If you’re alleging fraud in this election, have you taken it to the attorney general, your evidence?” She noted that the board has little ability to investigate such claims. Colbeck responded “I’ve submitted my affidavits to lawyers, and we’ve moved it up the chain that way. I can submit it to anybody you’d like me to submit it to.”
Of course, many Republicans in the state may be a tad reluctant to reach out to Nessel given her threats of prosecution against citizens and legislators alike.
As if to fulfill that view, Nessel immediately responded with yet another threat of prosecution. She noted that Colbeck “has never made a complaint of election fraud” to her office and then added “Colbeck’s assertions aside, intentionally making a false claim of criminal activity to law enforcement is itself a crime. It’s been my experience that is often the reason certain reports are not made.”
Put her in a male prison so she can’t have unlimited sex that she would enjoy.
Silly human,you still think in terms of law and order.. You know in the dem world ,the law is whatever they say it is....
Threatening criminal prosecution for reporting a crime.
Michigan also suffers from a crappy governor
A “she” with a “female” partner and 2 young boys who will never be normal.
I would point out that alleging vote fraud is NOT a crime. That is known as free speech.
Actual vote fraud IS a crime. I find it interesting that the AG is wanting to prosecute the non-crime but not the crime.
Any American can allege anything they want. It’s protected by the First Amendement.
Any ahole attorney general thinking otherwise should be immediately removed.
I like your username.
She’s threatening people for trying to protect their most important right. She’s a nazi, there’s simply no doubt.
25 Nov: Guardian: Who owns Australia’s sky and what can you actually write there?The world needs to start sending its prisoners there again to straighten the place out. Then they'd have something to really worry about, not ethereal writing in the sky.Michael Bradley, the managing partner at Marque Lawyers, explains: “The fundamental problem is that nobody owns the sky. “Skywriting is not specifically regulated at all in Australian law. However, it can be susceptible – at least in theory – to a range of laws governing public expression. It is a form of speech, just like any other.”
This is just the kind of chicanery Soros and Co. had in mind when they funded the campaigns of the Secretaries of state and AGs in swing states. Seems to be working as planned too, unless we put a stop to it.

Me too. I hope after January 20th when our President takes the oath for four more years, the FIRST order of business will be to FIRE BARR~~~
Time to set up a helicopter leasing business, business could be brisk
“Nessel is the second openly gay person elected attorney general of a state in the United States (after Maura Healey of Massachusetts) as well as the first openly LGBTQ person elected to statewide office in Michigan.”
Obviously well qualified...
We used to call this FELONY Extortion and US Attorneys would Prosecute, and yes it is a Felony to “threaten criminal action” in a civil matter or when no crime has been committed.
EXTORTION
