#Arizona #Trump #indictment
Thank you Arizona. Only consequences speak to liars, bullies, and fascists.
Thanks one grand jury and an unknown number in the prosecutors office, you mean. We'll add more as we find out.
Just like in Portland and Seattle... RIGHT???
@@barackobama9343 about 1000 arrests in PDX, not sure about Seattle but the number IS NOT NONE. I'm so sick of people whining about how Jan 6 rioters are being mistreated I could spit. Everybody knew there would be consequences if it didn't work out, and sure enough it didn't work out. Stop crying about it.
❤THE JANUARY 6 MARXISTS DEMCULT LED INSURRECTION WAS A COUP ♥️
So many people and lawyers throwing their lives and careers out the window for Trump.
I think you mean, throwing their lives and careers out the window for absolutely NO reason.
@@kathleenr4047Excellent point!
The next time Trump loses it's going to be much worse than this!
That guy has some sort of power evil power
Trumps Chumps
I sure am proud to be an Arizonan tonight! Thank you to State AG Kris Mayes and her team!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Joining you in May! VOTING BLUE
@@stevefisher2553 I love when Blue voters move to Arizona! Welcome!!
My thoughts exactly!! Thank you AG Kris Mayes!
Here I am, another proud Arizonan thanking the state AG taking this necessary action to protect democracy, right here in my state.
Ok I'm putting AZ back on my must visit list ❤
It still baffles me that we have audio recording of Trump asking Georgia to simply give him an extra "11,780 votes" and just "tell the people that you miscalculated", yet half the country supports him. If there was audio footage of Biden on anyone else saying that, it would have ended their political career. But Trump fans have no shame!
It's not half, it's the trump cult with very loud voices. How can anyone still be at the worship of trump?!?!?
His cult followers are stupid and don't care.
Footballnerd ---- If it helps, *it's NOT 'half' the country.* (And between you and me I'm really sick of people saying "it's half the country.") ---- 1/4 of the country are children under the age of 18. Many eligible adults do not vote at all. The people who DID vote in the 2020 presidential election was almost 160 million people. Which actually IS HALF the country. Trump got LESS THAN HALF of those votes. The people who voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election was 22.4% of the country. *LESS THAN 1/4 of the country.* --- if you couldn't be bothered to vote for Donald trump, I don't imagine you would be considered a supporter. And I think Donald Trump would agree with that assessment. ---- So NO. His supporters are NOT, and never have been, "half" the country.
Trump voters have no honor!
What's even more insane is that they still think Biden stole the election while their guy is literally on tape saying it. LOL. Absolute madness! Cult.
A good rule of thumb is to vote for people who think your vote ought to matter. Also, it's generally a good idea to try to avoid voting for liars, frauds and crooks.
While Biden is not a fraud/crook and overall lot more solid sane person then trump and like lot less potential dictator, he does lie, in like weird meaningless ways. Check that website that fact checks politicians. For political manners tho, less lying tmk -- like he's working on debt forgiveness and does stuff like protecting Alaskan land, things lot of people didn't think he'd really pursue. Vs trump changes what he believes on a drop of a dime I suspect most people white lie without thinking about it too much, and most of us don't realize it cause we don't have same level of scrutiny. But it'd be nice if our politicians just ... didn't lie.
I guess that rules out J "open boarders" B????
@@barackobama9343 magahats are SO STUPID!
Nearly as horrific is that the Republicon AG refused to prosecute this case. An obvious documented crime was simply ignored.
Ops normal when it comes to the Grand Ottocrat Party. You must still cling to the novel idea that they believe in the rule of law.
@@TheMangoMussoliniright? Republicans and rule of law is the biggest misnomer yet.
@@TheMangoMussoliniThe - Moscow Agents Governing American will be voted out!
Politics
Not to mention Mayes' 2022 opponent - who was 280 votes from winning - ran on 2020 election denial and threats to prosecute voters and pollworkers. Just 280 votes, and instead of this indictment, we'd be seeing flimsy Florida-style indictments targeted against Democratic voters who made unintentional mistakes while registering or voting.
This is absolutely brilliant news! Better late than never! Next Paul Gosar & Biggs
Investigation is ongoing, and I believe, it was reported a week or 2 ago, that both of those "gentlemen" have received subpoenas!
Way past his JAIL TIME!
That's why he's so whiny and grumpy. Well, that and no one wants to change his diaper. Not even Melania.
Ripvanstinkle needs jail now!
No, It's Waaaaay past his JAIL TIME!
FOR JB and his minions... AGREED!!!
So is JB for HIS "open boarders" policy!
Isn't it great the AG is a woman. Trump nightmares.
We grab back! 😁
@lindaweber5599 Yes it is great, especially for the majority of Trump's Republican Party it is a nightmare, and I LOVE IT!!
@@truebluedigit6570😂😂
What do you mean ,he is a Star and a ladies man?🤔😉
❤ AMERICA STANDS WITH TRUMP ❤
More indictments coming out of Michigan soon.
And NV.
So awesome.
Great news 🎉🎊💙
At least not all of Arizona wants to erase 100 years of progress and would like to retain democracy.
In its April 9 ruling, the Arizona Supreme Court said that the state must adhere to the 1864 law that bars all abortions except in cases when “necessary” to save a pregnant woman's life. The law also carries a prison sentence of two to five years for abortion providers. But they will go back 160 years not to retain democracy.
@@mike2008albertaHasn’t the law just been removed in Arizona? They’ve finally realized how detrimental this will be to the Republican Party in the coming election, and it should still be the case… Or are Arizonans that stupid? We’ll see.
FUNNY how ALL of your "heroes" are women...
I am sooo thankful for the dedicated men and women that have diligently fought for the truth and our American democracy! Thank you! 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
AG Kris Mayes, WE LOVE YOU!!! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
And this is who Americans want their children to see who they put into office?
No. Joe Biden was voted in by a massive majority and will be again.
No. Vote 🔵
Not this American.
Embarrassing, huh? Imagine grandchildren asking grandma and grandpa if they voted for tRUMP, and they squirm before answering, 'yez'.
@@carolinematusevich889 good. Anybody who voted for him should have a huge orange butt tattooed on their forehead. Let them wear their shame.
Truth and Justice ⚖️ 2024!!
Yes, when Trump takes the Oval Office in January 2025 read it and weep.
❤ AMERICA HAS UNITED ❤ AMERICA STANDS WITH TRUMP ❤ UNA FAMILIA AMERICA ❤ ONE FAMILY ❤
We came so close to the cliff edge. We must now vote in our millions, tens of millions for those that uphold the rule of law, who uphold genuine Democracy. The party that supports these values is obvious. Vote for America! Vote for the priceless freedom that we came so close to losing!

It's small d democracy.

❤OH PLEASE TELL A DOCTOR TO MEDICATE YOU..GET A GRIP.. AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC .. AMERICA IS A NOUN .....DEMOCRACY IS A PRACTICE . .. AN ACT ......GOOD GRIEF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED THIS GENERATION
Should have charge the orange blob too
Wrong.. The plan is to flip most of those defendants against 45 and then include that evidence against him.. This people know what their doing.
They are probably just waiting for SCOTUS to rule on the immunity case before indicting him
It's not over yet.😉 I would almost guarantee ol' AG Mayes has something else up her sleeve. She doesn't want to slow this down. Conald Chump would delay things for ALL the others. There's still plenty of time to charge the orange blob. Az has a 7yr statute of limitations.😂
I thought the 🍊 Traitor was named in the Indictments?
@@therarestphoenix5254 he WAS named but not (yet) indicted.
When Mike Lindell saw this on the news, he nearly choked on his pillow.
He ain't gonna have any pillows when Dominion is finished with him.
@Chez8922-kf6 I don't think he does now because the bank foreclosed on his warehouse and gave him the boot.
This CANNOT be good news for Trump
LOL... NO "NEWS" is good for Trump... YET, HE KEEPS ON WINNING...
It’s not but I doubt it makes much difference to his situation. They didn’t indict him in this case, but even if they had, how much worse would it make his situation - he’s under 88 indictments already.
@@catbranchman01 IF they were REAL CHARGES then Trump would be FORCED to face them by the power of JB's government... use your head!
@@barackobama9343 President Biden has so much power! He can bring charges against felons in any state, can control the cost of oil/gasoline worldwide. Start wars in other countries without sending any US troops. You sound like a conspiracy theorist/ cultist.
Unfortunately, due to the unbelievable snail pace of our courts, Trump will never live long enough to have to face a trial in Arizona; and we'll never get to see him held accountable there... and he needs to be held accountable in every single case.
Finally, they will be held accountable. Prison is waiting for you!
Yes ...but..AZ is a swing state and it’s quite possible that it could go Republican in Nov and then you can be sure that any and all state prosecutions will cease.
The *twinkle* in Lawrence's eyes. 😁
It's nice to see him smile.
Hes been fighting the fight and calling Trump a liar since 2011. He deserves it!
@@dfuher968I love it...!! 😂 Go Lawrence!
Lawrence has some of the best comments sections on KZhead, Period! You all rock!
They ALL are overdue to be sitting in jail! Enough already with their skirting the rule of law.
Disgusting to think the only reason our democracy survived was because of Mike Pence. We need to vote for Democrats up and down the ticket, to ensure we have better protections for our democracy at all levels of government.
@footballnerd277 DO you get your information from cnn and msnbc? That would make sense.
Do you get yours from a traitor and all around criminal?
Go Lawrence!
Democracy belongs to those who are willing to fight for it and protect it. Thank you AG Mayes.
The crime of the century.
The largest and worst political crime in American history.
❤THE GREAT AMERICAN FART CHASE❤...PROBLEM IS ..NO EVIDENCE
Thank you for the details. Thank you General Mayes for protecting your people and being a shining example of democracy. We all thank you.
It is appalling that it's taken three and a half years to even get this far.
Thank you Kris Mayes!
Lock him up 😮
Time for Mark Meadows to either roll over or go to jail.
So happy that I voted for our amazing AG as did about 6 other people I know
Thank you.

Thank you!!
As always, Lawrence is looking sharp tonight, and his reporting is exacting 💫
Karma, Orange jumpsuit for Kelli Ward AZ Orange Mafia. 😂Trump's not indicted....YET! It's coming!
Superceding 👍
It's imminent! And after Donald and his top tier minions are served their names will have to be made public, officially!
How can this not disqualify anyone from holding any office. How can you argue this is one away.
NO TRAITORS!
Yay!!! Finally! 👏💙
All the corrupt chickens coming home to roost.
Remember, prior to the election, trump told us, multiple time, he wouldn't agree to a peaceful transfer of power!!!
For once he told the truth.
@@czgator9000 Another truth he sometimes tells at rallies is the punch line to a fable. He's talking about himself, and relishing how the audience members don't realize his true meaning. "You knew I was a snake when you took me in!"
He didn't think there would be any transfer. No wonder, with all the plans to cheat!
Great news!!!
Thank you AG Kris Mayes 💪
RARELY am I proud of something my state has done.
You have the right to be proud, and for electing a qualified, ethical AG to undertake this investigation and to bring the perps to justice. What scares me is that AG Mayes won by only 280 votes. That indicates to me that there is a very deep well of fascism in your state.
It's starting to turn around. We just need to keep voting Blue.💙 If we can get more democracy loving people in office, things will start moving around here. RepubliCons still have the majority in both our houses but I think people are finally starting to wake up here.
Bravo, Arizona AG and her crew!
Yay Arizona and thank you to the 280 voters that save democracy
Criminal intent will be real easy to prove here in Arizona 🤪🌵🌵🌵
Nice touch. Giving Kris Mayes the last word. What a gentleman.
Right?! I thought the same thing.
Put Donald Trump in prison please.
Happy dance!
Thank you Lawrence!
Thank you Kris Mayes!! 💙💙💙💙💙👏👏👏👏
Truth 2024 vote Blue
Are you even an AMERICAN CITIZEN?
WHY IS TRUMP UN-INDICTED IF HE IS A CO-CONSPIRATOR??????
Because a grand jury did not indict him or because there was not enough proof to present to a grand jury as determined by a prosecutor.
Because he's special, apparently.
@@ronaldking1054 Thank you for the reminder, this makes sense. I also wonder if they are holding back trying him with the rest of the bunch because he's really good at delaying everything and jamming it all up
It will go faster without him and they can indict him separately later.
Traitors all of them.
Hello Kris Mayes. Nice to meet you. Thank you Lawrence, for the introduction.
Another one !!!
Lawrence ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The maga tantrum in November can’t come soon enough.
Arizona attorney general Kris Mayes did a great job.
Happy!
When does Trump go to jail? The sooner, the better!!!
Speechless!!!
well done. disappointing however, that ALL these vital cases took 4 years to organize and be brought before the court system(s) Democracy should do better.
Exactly. It’s a real weakness of our justice system and threatens our democracy Democracy is precious and should be protected These cases will be after nov, if he wins, he will be able to pardon himself
The states were waiting to see what the DOJ was going to do which Garland took his sweet time with.
Again, a real weakness and a threat to democracy
It took less than that to organise. The previous GOP AG didn’t want to organise it.
Apparently a GOP AG decided to not take up this case, but the chaos that occurred in 2020 was enormous. There was this whole fake electors thing, there was litigating everywhere, some media were doubting everything, Trump and his campaign were running amok on every outlet they could get a talking head on and finally there was Jan. 6th. Now we know that all those things happening were not incidents. It took a House investigation and a lot of elbow grease from the DOJ's in several states and on the federal level to come to the conclusion we have to make now. Donald J. Trump was in no means willing to accept all but one outcome of the election. And he was willing and doing a lot to come to the desired outcome. Democracy is at his best when capable people are willing to go the extra mile to defend its causes. And that is what I see is happening right now. It took time and effort, but the we have a way better picture of what happened in 2020.
Glad to hear some good news coming out of Arizona. 💙
"Gotta catch them all..."
Taking too long to lock up these criminals 🤦🤦
Remember how long OJs case took? Or Clintons? Or any high profile court case? they drag on for years and years. This is normal, for high profile people/cases.
"The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine"-Ancient Greek proverb. You may not know but Kris Mayes has only been in office since 1/2/23. Her predecessor hid very pertinent information pertaining to this investigation. A year for an investigation this big is actually not very long. Had she lost to the MAGA RepubliCon she ran against, we would have never seen this.
Way to go AZ, hopefully justice is approaching.
Thank you Vice President Pence for being a honest person and following the USA law.
Pence wasn't doing the honorable thing. He was saving his own skin. If he was honorable, he wouldn't have had to call around to find out what he should do/
Many kudos to another true patriot Arizona Attorney Kris Mayes, future Arizona US Senator or Governor!
Kari lake needs to pay also
Will the US Supreme Court have the audacity to rule that Trump has immunity while all others are held accountable for such criminality while in office?
I will now put Arizona back onto my "Good States" list. Thank you AZ.
Go Arizona !
Wow, great reporting
Deplorables !!!
I absolutely love all the crying Trumpers here in the comments. Every whiny comment they type makes ad revenue for MSNBC. They're not the sharpest flagpoles at the failed coup, that's for sure. 🤣🇺🇸
Bravo to the AZ AG!
So glad Meadows. Eastman and Eptshyn are indicted
Excellent news 👏

Wow, this is something...good thing Democrats were in office and got this investigation done. Vote Blue local and national. It matters 🌊🌊
When are people going to wake up?
Excellent work. Well done. 👍🏽 ☝🏽🙏🏽🇺🇸
Thank you Arizona!
Thank you, Attorney General Kris Mayes, for doing the hardest job with the best staff. 💐🌹🌷🌻. I understand it's not easy. Thank you for putting your faith first and moving forward 🙏.
We are watching democracy defending itself against a cast of criminal scoundrels.
excellent 🎉🎉
So happy the indictments came down. Justice! Don't ever try to steal my vote again!
Listening to Kris Mayes restores your faith in justice prevailing despite all that has happened.
Kari Lake needs to be on that list of defendants.
wow
Boom
I sure hope so.We're wondering about this here in Az, wondering why he wasn't indicted. Perhaps they want to see if any of the current indictees will turn.
Just when Jenna had seen the error of her ways and put all this behind her she's indicted again, poor sweet innocent little thing, thoughts and prayers.
... tip of the indictment iceberg .... its a HUGE iceberg ... a beautiful iceberg .... 🇺🇲⚖️🇺🇲⚖️🇺🇲⚖️🇺🇲⚖️🇺🇲
I click 👍 on all of these nightly O'Donnell broadcast posts first thing, because his delivery is strong, straightforward, easily understood, pertinent. Authoritative. Thank Goodness Lawrence Ō is an ethical good man. If he had the subzero ethics demonstrated by almost all 🦊's, we would be in big trouble, perhaps already a fascist autocracy.
One thing I know is that when this is over all of these people will know what it's like to be in the poor house and hopefully in the big house.
