Michigan AG To Probe 'Election Fraud' Grifters; Trump Lawyers May Face Reckoning - Rachel Maddow



Rachel Maddow reports that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel will follow up on a recommendation in a state Republican-led report that found that some false election fraud claims were so egregious and tied to fundraising schemes that they warranted investigation for fraud. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's lawyers who pushed false election fraud claims are facing possible disciplinary action in court on Monday. Aired on 07/09/2021.

in Michigan, Gov. Whitmer and her AG Nessel, need to be the standard response to the grifting cowards calling themselves 'patriots'. I call them other names. Treasonous is the civil one...

She has the ability to explain complicated issues simply and clearly enough that anyone can understand - including me!

And I don't know if you saw this story from last night. In this case, she likely made a real difference. A Texas resident who waited over 6 hours - between his 2 jobs - to vote in the Democratic primary was subsequently arrested and thrown into jail with an insurmountable $100,000 bail because he had a couple of months left on his parole. The ACLU has promoted his case, Rachel had it as a main story on her show - and when a GoFundMe campaign was set up, they raised more than was needed for his bail in a little more than a day and he was released from jail earlier today. She made a difference!

And it looks like people are still donating, up to $133,834 raised of $10,000 goal (10% of the $100,000 bail), so he should also be able to hire the best lawyers! Plus, he has the ACLU behind him.

To add insult to injury, since this gentleman is POC, AG Paxton, who himself is under indictment on felony security fraud charges, has moved the case from where Mr. Harris lives and voted to the most conservative county in the state - because he can.
