Arizona’s Attorney General Kris Mayes is refusing to drop her 'fake electors' case against President-elect Donald Trump despite Trump's decisive win in last week's election.

Mayes issued a statement saying, "I have no intention of dropping that case. A grand jury in the state of Arizona decided that these individuals who engaged in an attempt to overthrow our democracy in 2020 should be held accountable. So we won’t be cowed. We won’t be intimidated."

Arizona Democrats convened a grand jury that "decided" Trump and his allies tried to overthrow the election, an accusation that has failed in every courtroom and in front of Congress.

This has been an effective strategy for Democrats to compile grand juries who levy nebulous charges against Trump and his allies which create years-long inquiries that so far have led to no convictions.

With Trump winning the 2024 presidential election, many Democrats threw in the towel on getting Trump, but Mayes is pushing forward at all costs.

Fake Electors Case

The fake electors case brought by Mayes has led to charges against former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, and more than a dozen other Trump allies.

All individuals who were charged have been arraigned and pleaded not guilty and the legal back-and-forth has been ongoing for years, and yet Mayes refuses to give up.

The reason for this is simple, leftist district attorneys have become nationally recognized figures boosting their careers massively by going after Trump.

Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and Alvin Bragg were all unknown figures before they became these vaunted figures on the left for their role in taking on Trump in the courtroom.

Mayes has been less successful than her peers but she isn't done yet as evidenced by her fiery statement.

Future Of The Case

The case isn't slated to go to trial until 2026 which means it will have been five years since alleged crimes occurred. That will also be long after Trump's inaugeration and he has made it clear that he is going to go to war with those officials who abused the law to target him and his allies.

There is little chance that this case goes anywhere unless Mayes can get a leftist judge to back her.

Similar charges have already been dropped in Nevada although that decision is being appealed by prosecutors.

Once Trump assumes the presidency, addressing the power of political district attorneys to create cases from inherently political grand jury statements will be key to ensuring that Democrats cannot wage this kind of lawfare again.
