Isn’t Maricopa County the place where the cameras went black for 8 hours due to a umm electrical issue?.
Yet all the cameras outside the building worked
Fox News yesterday
What are Arizonans gonna do if and when Hobbs is declared the winner?
It’s their law. I have no idea why they do it that way.
I don't think anyone is, as much as we'd like to hear it. What information do you have to share? So far all I've heard him say is that if he's elected in 24, he'll consider a pardon for some of them, which isn't much help, now.
Yes. It was.
It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
Thanks, but I can’t open that link, as it requires you to be a NY Times subscriber, and there’s no chance of that happening. Got anything else?
Unfortunately you are correct. The only hope is stopping the bureaucracy and then stopping the illegal aliens. Until that happens voting really doesn’t matter much.
Over 40 States say prove it is possible.

WASHINGTON — "Former President Donald J. Trump's political organization and his allies have paid for or promised to finance the legal fees of more than a dozen witnesses called in the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, raising legal and ethical questions about whether the former president may be influencing testimony with a direct bearing on him.The arrangement drew new scrutiny this week after Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide in his White House, made an explosive appearance before the House panel, providing damning new details about Mr. Trump’s actions and statements on the day of the deadly riot.
She did so after firing a lawyer who had been recommended to her by two of Mr. Trump’s former aides and paid for by his political action committee, and hiring new counsel.
Unlike witness tampering, which is a crime, there is nothing illegal about a third party covering legal fees for a witness. Aides to former President Bill Clinton reported being overwhelmed with legal bills because of the various inquiries into his and his family’s personal and business affairs, and were dismayed when a legal-defense fund set up by Mr. Clinton’s allies to help the first family pay its multimillion-dollar legal debts did not help them. Mr. Clinton later pledged to help raise money to cover his former aides’ legal expenses, but did not make any major effort to do so.
It was not immediately clear whether those payments were for covering legal fees connected to the Jan. 6 inquiry, but people familiar with the matter said the PAC has paid for the representation of several former officials and aides in the investigation, including some high-profile ones such as Stephen Miller, who served as a senior adviser to Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump’s PAC paid a portion of Mr. Miller’s legal bills.
More than a dozen witnesses before the Jan. 6 committee have also received free legal advice and had attorney’s fees paid for by the American Conservative Union’s “First Amendment Fund,” which consults with Mr. Trump’s team about whose fees to cover from its “seven-figure” finances, according to Matt Schlapp, the organization’s chairman."
Thank you for the excerpt, although we are supposed to limit anything from NYT being posted here. But if correct, Trump is planning to pay the legal fees of a few (~12) witnesses being called into the Jan 6 hearings. There's not enough information presented that I saw to know for sure, but this actually sounds more about legal fees surrounding their testimony, not charges for being on Capital grounds etc, although it could be both for those few, if they were even charged.
Therefore it appears that the only people that Trump is trying to help here are those dozen or so who he now needs help from, which could unfortunately now be an issue for him if it's ruled witness tampering, which was the basis of the article. My concern has always been about the thousands of others that needed legal support, but got none from anyone, for simply being there that day. Sorry if I sound negative but there's just not much here to hang a hat on if you've been concerned that Trump did little for those prosecuted for January 6.
I gave you the link to the entire article. What I posted was well within the boundaries of Fair Use, and if you doubt me [ Report Abuse ] and it will still be here tomorrow.
"Therefore it appears that the only people that Trump is trying to help here are those dozen or so who he now needs help from."
You literally just said, "There's not enough information presented that I saw to know for sure.", and after that acknowledgment of your own lack of evidence, and insufficient research, proceed directly to "Therefore it appears that the only people that Trump is ...witness tampering, which was the basis of the article.".
"Sorry if I sound negative"
You're. just. another. Freeptard.
Is that exerpt of my post clear enough for you? I made no final determinations.
As I said, it appears that Trump is only helping the dozen or so that he wants to testify for him, out of the hundreds that have been charged.
Are you disputing that, or not?
The NYT is not a great source to reference on FR, and it is even discouraged by the site owners and admins, and can even lead to account suspension.. Most know that. However, some do not, so I was just making sure.
I will give you your due, you proved that Trump may actually be helping a few J6 people after all. For that, I am glad to hear it, and thank you for the information.
However, like most things about Trumo, there are some caveats that are negative. This help is almost two years late, for starters. He’s also apparently only helping a sliver of people who have been charged, and it seems to be conditional on them helping him by providing favorable testimony. Worst of all, only helping these few J6 protesters instead of them all gives the impression it’s being done in exchange for theiir testimony, which may be a crime.
That’s just the overall summary. If you don’t believe any of that is correct, let’s hear why. Thanks again.
