Why offer a plea? What was received in return for the slap on the wrist? I am sick of lazy, left wing “prosecutors” who do not want to prosecute.
While the story unavoidably made the WaPo’s claims of free and fair elections in 2020 look pretty skeezy, given that there was videotape, the AP story itself was pretty biased.
AP’s account focused not on the fraud that verifiably place in that swing state, but on all the charges the prosecutors could not or did not pin on the woman charged, such as conspiracy, forgery, and paying voters for their unmarked ballots. AP concluded that it was just a little localized fraud, no major issue.
AP wrote:
“But there’s no sign her illegal ballot collection went beyond the small-town politics Fuentes was involved in.”
Which is pretty naive, given that just because a prosecutor cannot prove a charge doesn’t mean that the problem isn’t going on. Election fraud, for AP’s information, is notoriously hard to prove, which is why so little of it gets prosecuted, and so much of it winds up in films like “2000 Mules.” With election machinery welded to the political machinery, it’s even less likely to be charged, given that prosecutors may fear political retaliation. The dropping of the conspiracy charge in this Arizona case, for one thing, seems kind of ridiculous. Why the heck would anyone stuff ballot boxes and collect ballots and pay off voters if it weren’t for someone higher up in the political hierarchy? Conspiracy seems baked in the cake, but it’s possible the prosecutors couldn’t prove who this woman was talking to.
Instead of asking those questions, or asking the prosecutors why they weren’t able to prove all of the charges they suspected, the AP idiotically concluded that the only possible reason for that outcome was that the Democrats didn’t do it.
My attorney brother tells me that the WORST lawyers take government jobs, and they fear embarrassment in court.
If she gave detailed testimony against her DNC handlers, then it might be OK.
They want to prosecute, just not fellow leftards.
