‘People are being held accountable’: Arizona Sec. of State discusses fake electors charges
A state grand jury in Arizona on Wednesday indicted 18 people - including key Trump aides and allies Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and Boris Epshteyn - for their involvement in an alleged “fake electors” plot to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in their state. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes joins Ali Velshi to discuss the charges, and why the case is crucial for the future of preserving election integrity.

#Crime #Trump #Voting
Arizona is shifting blue in the last six years and with all the insanely extreme events executed by the Republican legislature in Arizona will certainly expedite that shift in favor of Democrats.
The shift has been going on since McCain ran for President, twenty years ago. About three points each four year cycle.
It’s all the illegals
@@Coolidge2329 Proof/Evidence?
I am a Native to Arizona I know this man is correct
Remember that not all Republicans are with this kind of behavior. All he has done to the legal process and to Republicans real Republicans is damaging them.
You still have Kari Lake running around Arizona like a rabid coyote
She is finished and just helps secure blue votes at this point.
Doesn’t she have a Burger King manager she needs to speak to
Isn’t there a Burger King manager she needs to speak to
Karl lake U know there’s No truth To your lies
You're giving rabid coyotes a bad name.
Yay! Wonderful to listen to a sane conversation. Thanks.
Lock them up!!
Why? All lives matter.
If the leader isn't held responsible, then there is no justice.
Adrian has his head on straight..Thank you
Brian Sicknick, Ashli Babbitt, Kevin Greeson, Rosanne Boyland, Benjamin Philips, Jeffrey Smith, Kyle DeFreytag, Howard Liebengood, Gunther Hashida. All would be alive today if not for trump's insurrection.
Thank you for remembering them. 🙏😢
Comment of the week. Congratulations. ❤️
@@terrencekane8203 hey you like Ukraine? When are they paying us back the $460 billion or do we need to sell them to russia because they belong to us now
A lot of lives have been turned upside down because of the Big Lie.

Lets hope that your supreme court DOES NOT HEAR THIS CASE!!! Or else they all will get off!!! This doesn't cut with what they are trying to accomplish with this ridiculous "Absolute Immunity" claim. Sickening!

Leaving the Dumpster out, will allow this case to move forward without the constant drama and delays. They can go for him later, when he's in jail somewhere.
Biden for Palestine Biden for Hamas
He is listed in the filing as an unindicted coconspirator and that is open to change depending on these investigations and trials.
@@d.p.89 true, but will he ever be in jail?
Stop the STINK!! VOTE BLUE
good one !!! yesssssss stop Diapper Donnie before that thing explodes
The Pope knows better. Biden actually soiled himself in his presence.
Well we can vote blue, but not sure we can stop the stink. That emanates from within from the food he eats and probably other things. I feel bad for his attorneys for sitting next to the smell. The other stuff they get is bc they chose to represent him, but even that stench is undeserved.
Poor rudy can't catch a break. 😅😅😅
Karma coming to take a big chunk out of his hinney!!😂😂
Adults talking in the room is so refreshing!
Hopefully MAGA has developed their coping skills since 2020, so as that they will be able to handle what's coming in November 2024.
Better check with Antifa and BLM first.
@@milehighgimpster anti fascists know what trump is. did you know blm was black? he cant pay all of them.
No, they won’t. They will flip out
@@milehighgimpster Hey kids - It's gimpy the rodeo clown. Remember, no matter what don't get in the bucket with him
@@milehighgimpster Mental patient, you must know that BLM and Antifa are fully prepared to use Italian satellites to change bamboo ballots on German servers, so that they can make big, massive late-night dumps, just like last time. Or so says Sydney Powell's trusted source, the self-described semi-decapitated time traveler who heard it from the wind.
California poll worker since 2006 I refuse to help anyone vote for trump.
Thanks for admitting to election interference.
With that being said you are admitting to voter fraud!
So you openly admit to election fraud!!
If he is on a ballot you violate your public trust if you behave that way. If you don't believe in free and fair voting, you have no business at the polls, and you certainly don't believe in democracy!
As a poll worker that is not your choice. You do the duties and allow the free will of each voter to happen.
Mr Fontes is a shining example of how AZ is moving forward. We have some elected idiots, too, but each ballot we correct course.
No disrespect, but Mister Fontes eyes look to close together, he looks a little shifty.
Now if the rest of America follows suit
@@MarkSmith-pb2ly It's a shame that fascist hooligans lack the ability to communicate with any level of intelligence - should be "too close"
Best statement regarding a rigged election was by his 2020 Maricopa Reorder challenger and eventual winner with the question "If the election was rigged, why didn't the Democratic incumbent rig it to stay in office?"
@@nomenclature9373 the election wasn’t rigged. Everyone knows that. Trump is just mad because he lost and lost fairly. And people are actually dumb enough to believe his lies
Really encouraging for those of us who love democracy 🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲

@@MarkSmith-pb2ly thank you mrs putin!!
GOD bless our Great President and leader Donald Trump.
Historians have rated trump as the worst president ever.
Then why does Biden have the worst approval numbers, in every poll, since these polls were enacted? (Gallop yesterday in fact ironically just added).
Feeble-minded Joe Potato has been rated the dumbest president in history 🤔😆😆
So have millions upon millions of American citizens. THE WORST TREASONOUS, CRIMINAL FRAUD IN OUR HISTORY!!!! Who lost the popular vote, by the way, the bogus electoral college gave him the presidency and he used it to enrich himself and destroy our democracy.
i'd say he'll hold that record for many many years..perhaps centuries...
@@gregmiller9710 You're probably right, Mr Spock.
Secretary Fontes made an important point highlighting the roll of the grand jury in this process. Justice and the rule of law will prevail.
Trump makes America look stupid.
The entire Republican party.
No just Trump and the Republicans clown party is .
He has definitely shown how much corruption prevails, the biggest crimes being perpetrated by politicians, right up to the SCOTUS.

You're so right, the problem as I see it... is that it should happen in my life; maybe even his life..... Law not necessarily justice, just the LAW, everybody's!
This man is dead on in terms of how the judicial process has to continue to function in order to preserve the US democratic process now and for future generations.
Mr. Fontes seems to be very serious about doing the right thing for the voters of Arizona. A person of integrity is exactly what I would hope that AZ continues to elect to these Statewide offices. Rule of Law is preferable to Law by Rulers. Thank you Mr. Fontes and AZ Elections.
Arizona for PRISON

Except the one who masterminded the whole scam is still above the law! When is the main criminal paying for his crime? Until then, all of this is just a big joke and a waste of time.
I'm jealous. AZ has a well spoken sane Representative and I'm stuck in Florida with Ron, who is doing his best to destroy democracy.

Tired of Don Dump smelling up the air I breathe!!

Imagine a fake billionaire, so cheap that he pretends to be his own publicist, named John Barron, that calls local NYC radio talk shows. You can hear John Baron here on YT; it's obviously Trump.

Thank you Adrian for having some integrity and for all that you are doing. I'm an X-Republican disgusted with the GOP and Trump for not supporting the constitution and rule of law. Great work.
Let's stop talking about Accountability. Show us. Make us believe that no one is above the law. Harsh time for the so called privileged.
I love causians people not trump trump is the only causian I can't stand
Love Mr. FONTES..
Processes with integrity.
I would like to see Trump in an orange jumpsuit and a buzz cut. Bad image.
I'm glad I voted for Adrian Fontes.
Me too
Let's hope Creamsicle Mussolini is also held accountable in Arizona next
November 2020: Trump loses his re-election. January 2021: Trump's loses his insurrection. January 2021 - Present: Trump loses every court case, he throws or is thrown at him.
Mayes Fontes. Doing great work
Ali where did your show go? I can't find it
In the spirit of democracy and fairness, I believe it’s crucial for all voices to be heard and respected. The idea of a private ballot, where votes are cast without party affiliations dictating the outcome, could ensure a more unbiased and equitable process. As we navigate these politically charged times, it’s essential to remember that the strength of our nation lies in its unity, not division. Allegations of schemes and unfair tactics only serve to undermine the democratic principles we all cherish. Let’s engage in constructive conversations and work together towards a system that upholds the integrity of our elections, regardless of our political leanings. Whether you support former President Trump or any other candidate, the focus should be on transparency and justice for all. As Americans, we share one country, and it’s our collective responsibility to foster an environment where every citizen can participate in the democratic process with confidence and trust. Let’s stand united in making our nation fair and just for everyone.
Arizona - a great state to be *from* FFS.
So why is trump unindicted?⁉️
If he didn't run for office, would he be indicted at all ? If the answer is NO, then something is very wrong here.
Hey, Velshi. Howz about you sell your brand-new app to the Arizona Sec. of State. Show him what a treat that pitch is.
Justice is a dish served COLD and slowly! But it is complete soup to nuts! 😂😮😮😮😮
"It's a republic if you can keep it."- Ben Franklin
After that horrible, repetive ad, I can't stand the sound of Velshi's voiice any more.
First sane conscientious conversation I've heard in 8 yrs., it seems so much has happened that defies this approach.
Due Process is a term that is refreshing to hear.
WHATS WITH THE BACKGROUND? That's NOT Arizona...
This guy could give Chris Christie a run for his money at an all you could eat buffet line.
Incel childish bully.
Here's that attention you ordered
A bit late and slow for justice and our nation but I am happy its happening
I just remembered Barbara Rez this morning. She ran Don's office. Business and architectural degrees. Appeared on Ari Melbers show back when. You think she would have something to contribute to the courtroom? She penned a book about her 18 years with Don. I just ordered it.
We want to be able to cheat without anyone being able to do anything about it
Being attacked isn't the same as being held accountable.
Music to my ears!
Waste of time, Arizona supreme court or SCOTUS will simply overturn a conviction

He's got the chops.
Thank you arizona.
This is the cartel lawyer! He is worried he will be found out !
just make sure the person that initiated this corruption is charged and prosecuted and goes to prison
Wow! A decent governmental man. Wow!
Being held accountable.... what a novel concept.🤨
Do we need Arizona? Or really anything from Palm Desert to the Atlantic?
Well, New York and California subsidize the country when the budget is passed. Their taxes...
This guy is a crook omg nbc is such dirt
When you hear buzzword salad, propaganda is being deployed.
The 400 yrs r up. It's only gonna get worse.
You mean they're finally going to charge Hobbs & her ilk?
Yeah,we gets it but, what about the two guy talking to Rusty my man Bower on a Phone Called...and then,accountability gets its.
Someone needs to tattoo that statement across Donald J Trump forehead " That No One Is Above The Law " this way he can see it everyday of his life.
WAT U THINK:🤔 🧬Who will flip first, Kelli Ward OR her husband? (bet they’re having some rather interesting conversations at home since the good news 😂)
