The big news today was Benedict Donald's announcement that he'd received a target letter from Jack Smith on Sunday night. If true (and you always have to ask that where Trump's concerned), he must appear before Smith's January 6 grand jury or decline to do so — in four days. Donald's in quite a snit about that.
The other huge story was state Attorney General Dana Nessel's charges against the 16 fake Trump electors who tried to overturn the 2020 election results in Michigan. As you can see from the list above, if proven, the charges carry some pretty serious prison time. One of the defendants, Meshawn Maddock, is a former state GOP co-chairwoman. Goodness gracious, as a high-ranking party person, she should have known better than to commit election fraud, yes? (Poor Meshawn! How simply frightful. How humiliating. How delightful!)
So, does Nessel's action mean that we can expect a slew of other fake-elector charges in the other battleground states where the Trumpsters tried to stage a coup? Turns out that the AGs in at least five of those states are Democrats: Kris Mayes in Arizona, Aaron Ford in Nevada, Raul Torrez in New Mexico, Michelle Henry in Pennsylvania and Josh Kaul in Wisconsin. (The Attorney General in Georgia is a Republican, but as we know, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has things well in hand there.)
Let's just say that if we were any of those Trumpy fake electors, we'd be quaking in our boots right now. We cats PURR.
