Five Republican committee members on a special House panel initiated impeachment proceedings against Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes on Friday. The lawmakers accused her of abuse of power, neglect of duties, and malfeasance in office.
State Representative Jacqueline Parker (R-Mesa) (pictured above, foreground), who chairs the panel, announced the release of a 102-page report detailing these allegations, which has stirred significant political controversy.
The impeachment report accuses Mayes (pictured above, background) of several impeachable offenses, including:
Political Prosecutions: The committee found that Mayes targeted Cochise County Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd with felony charges for their actions during the 2022 election certification process. The supervisors delayed certification, citing concerns over election integrity. The committee argued that Mayes used her position to pursue politically motivated charges against Crosby and Judd, who faced felony accusations for allegedly interfering with the election process. The committee held that this prosecution was an overreach by Mayes, intended to intimidate political opponents and undermine their actions concerning election integrity.
Consumer Alerts: The committee claimed that Mayes issued a consumer fraud alert against crisis pregnancy centers filled with deception and lacking evidential support. The alert, which targeted centers that do not provide abortion services, allegedly misrepresented their practices and accused them of fraudulent behavior without sufficient evidence. The committee’s report suggested that Mayes’ actions were politically motivated and intended to malign these centers, which are often supported by pro-life advocates.
Election Law Interference: The committee criticized Mayes for her threats against county officials who sought to conduct hand ballot counts. The report argued that Mayes overstepped her authority and misused her office by sending a letter to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors warning them that voting to conduct a hand count of ballots would result in legal consequences. The committee viewed this as an attempt to intimidate local officials and prevent them from pursuing what they believed to be a legal and transparent method of vote counting.
Neglecting Legal Duties: The committee accused Mayes of refusing to defend state laws such as the Save Women’s Sports Act, which prohibits biological males from participating in female sports. Additionally, the report highlighted Mayes’ failure to adequately respond to requests for information from the committee. This neglect, the report suggested, indicated a disregard for her responsibilities as Attorney General and a failure to uphold laws passed by the state legislature. The committee also pointed out instances where Mayes allegedly used public resources to influence elections and neglected her duty to pursue a warrant of execution in a high-profile murder case.
What a greasy little Commie she is!
Interesting that she was a "Republican" - but now goosesteps right along with every Democrat Commie position there is.
She's against "Trumpism" and for "Lying Hypocritical Piece Of Cr@pism".
Yeah. Hard to say what her bent was.
Being a hard liner, she may have seen herself as a “law’n’order Lesbian”, consistent with the relaxed social attitudes of suburban Phoenix Republican women. Arizona has been a gynocracy for some time now.
But apparently Trump’s Alpha act was too much for her, along with Sindy McQueeg. So she went over the edge.
She has a long history of being a bully by abusing her authority.
She needs to be kicked to the curb out of politics and preferably out of any government job.
She ordered the illegal arrest of the legitimate alternate electors from 2020.
Execute her for Sedition, and her little Gov too.
