Case closed against Trump's false electors in Michigan
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Monday she will not appeal a judge's dismissal of charges against 16 individuals involved in the false electors scheme to overturn the 2020 election. In a sweeping 110-page report, Nessel acknowledged believing the defendants committed crimes but concluded the resource-intensive prosecution was unlikely to succeed. She called continued prosecution "fundamentally unjust," arguing lower-level participants were following Trump's direction. The report explicitly states: "This was indeed Trump's criminal conspiracy." Judge Kristen Simmons dismissed charges in September, citing insufficient evidence of criminal intent. Legal experts note it's rare for an AG to publish such a detailed report declining prosecution. Trump issued federal pardons for dozens involved in 2020 election overturn efforts, though his pardon power doesn't extend to state charges. The case mirrors similar dismissals in Nevada, Wisconsin, and New Mexico.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
