Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has filed for the dismissal of the charges against him in connection with the prosecution of Arizona’s slate of Republican alternate electors, declaring the charges to be “politically motivated,” by Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes.
“Today we filed in the Arizona court a motion to dismiss Kris Mayes’s politically motivated charges against Mr. Meadows, which are clearly forbidden by the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause,” said Meadows’ attorney George J. Terwilliger III. “The West Wing of the White House is the beating heart of the Executive Branch, and the Supremacy Clause bars states from attempting to police federal officials, like Mr. Meadows, who worked there. For too long, Mr. Meadows has been wrongfully included in this case and the Attorney General ought to admit the error of her ways and voluntarily dismiss this case now.”
Eighteen defendants, including Arizona eleven electors who prepared a contingent certification of President Donald Trump after the 2020 presidential election were indicted by Mayes, who declared President Donald Trump to be an “unindicted co-conspirator,” in April 2024.
The case against the seven Trump campaign advisors and eleven alternate electors was ordered to be sent back to a grand jury by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam J. Myers on May 19th in a serious blow to prosecutors. Myers found that Mayes’ prosecutors failed to provide the text of the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which is central to the defendant’s argument. Defense attorney Stephen Binhak told The Washington Post, “We are extremely pleased with the court’s ruling, and we think the judge got it exactly right.”
Richie Taylor, a spokesman for the Arizona Attorney General said, “We vehemently disagree with the court, and we will file a special action to appeal the ruling.” Speaking with The Associated Press, a former county judge in metro Phoenix and former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Mel McDonald noted that courts send cases back to grand juries when the prosecution present misleading or incomplete evidence or fail to properly instruct jurors in matters of law.
“They get granted at times,” he said, but noted “It’s not often.”
Our electors were correct in their actions, as the ’20 “election” was indeed stolen, as all thinking people know. But marxist AG Mayes is ‘all in’ for lawfare against citizens who don’t go along with the marxist agenda. (fun fact – Mayes wasn’t truly ‘elected’, either)
Her and her ilk are human filth; they sicken me.
