From the GOP hopeful running against her:

Matthew S. DePerno, Esq.
@mdeperno
The Marxist Nessel calling for malicious prosecution of 2020 electors is an appalling attempt at diverting attention away from her own criminal involvement. I'll put an end to that when I'm your AG & ensure she's held accountable for her defamatory actions

#1 DeSantis/Coulter 2024!

"And i'd rather see half an investigation than nothing at all. Quitting now because the GOP might tank it later is ludicrous."

I bet most Democrats in MI would agree with you, which is why for Nessel not to pursue the case because she thinks it will help her re-election campaign not to do so would be a seriously dumb move on her part.

#19 & #20 Okay, as a lawyer, you know more about how the law works than I do.

"I realize she's up for re-election and that's probably what's keeping her from pursuing this, but all that means is that her career aspirations are more important than an attempted coup inside her state."

No, that's not what I said. I said that if the investigation isn't completed by the time she leaves office (if she isn't re-elected), the investigation will be dropped by the new GOP AG and no charges will ever be filed.

Listen to her interview on Morning Joe. She believes, rightly, what happened in MI goes well beyond Mi, and because of that, she has made the determination that the feds are better equipped to get to the bottom of the whole conspiracy.

#26 I read this yesterday and found myself agreeing:

Best quote I've heard in a while to describe the shallowness of Trump (apologies i forgot who said this):

"If Trump could trade his base for Obama base he would in a heartbeat." Does anyone REALLY doubt that?

Here's Nessel this morning on Morning Joe explaining her rational for passing the case on to the feds:

Since Nessel is up for re-election this year, I think in addition to investigating herself, turning the case over to the feds is a good idea. If she loses re-election, the case would likely be scrapped by her Republican predecessor. For example:

Michigan election critic says he's running for attorney general

Attorney Matthew DePerno, whom Michigan Senate Republicans accused of spreading "demonstrably false" information about the 2020 election, says he's launching a campaign for attorney general.

"Over 100k more deaths from covid than his predecessor - and he took office with a vaccine."

Biden can't force people to get the vaccine. The SC just made doubly sure of that. And it is the unvaccinated that have been the ones mainly dying from covid since Biden made sure that Americans that wanted to get vaccinated have been able to. Scroll down to the chart:

United States: COVID-19 weekly death rate by vaccination status, All ages
Death rates are calculated as the number of deaths in each group, divided by the total number of people in this group. This is given per 100,000 people.

I'd like to know what big money donors are beyond this group:

The Thomas More Society is a not-for-profit, national public interest law firm dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family, and religious liberty. Based in Chicago, the Thomas More Society defends and fosters support for these causes by providing high quality pro bono legal services from local trial courts all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

I'm trying to find out more about the Thomas More Society and its Amistad Project:

Challenges presidential election results with planned lawsuits in six swing states

A national conservative legal organization, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, today announced that it will file federal and state lawsuits challenging the presidential election results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona.

The Trump campaign is joining with the Amistad project on these lawsuits on a case-by-case basis, according to Rudy Giuliani, who is leading the campaign's legal efforts.

"Some representatives have already been referred to their state Attorneys General for prosecution."

The MI AG took it a step further:

Michigan AG Refers GOP Electors Review to Federal Prosecutors

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday she referred to federal prosecutors a probe into Republicans who signed and submitted a certificate falsely claiming Donald Trump won Michigan's electoral votes.

"We think this is a matter that is best investigated and potentially prosecuted by the feds."

At the very least Raskin should heed the sage advise: "Under promise, over deliver."

Maybe the book bans will start a new counter trend:

Teens come out for newly created Kutztown Banned Book Club

Bi-weekly discussions will focus on classic novels, current hot topics

Yes, 1/6 could have been much worse:

Michigan Republican rebuked after refusing to promise no violence as electors vote
12/14/20

A Republican state representative in Michigan was rebuked by members of his own party on Monday hours after he made comments suggesting that he and others planned to disrupt the Electoral College vote at the state Capitol in Lansing.

The top Republicans in the Michigan legislature announced that they had removed state Rep. Gary Eisen (R) from his committee assignments.

The move came hours after a radio interview in which Eisen did not specify what the plans to disrupt the Electoral College entailed, but said that "it'll be all over the news later on."

Asked by a radio host whether he could assure that the meeting would remain safe and that "nobody is going to get hurt," Eisen answered bluntly.

"No," he said. "I don't know, because what we're doing today is uncharted. It hasn't been done. It's not me doing it. It's the Michigan Party, Republican Party. I'm just here to witness."

Who/what is the Thomas More Society?:

Michigan Republicans Tried to Submit Fake Electoral Votes to Capitol
12/15/20

"The electors are already here. They've been checked in," Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Darren Green told the group assembled outside of the building's side door in a video shot by Detroit Free Press videographer Mandi Wright. The group protested in response, saying that they are the "GOP electors."

Local lawyer Ian Northon then stepped up to Green and said, "The GOP electors are also on the governor's certificate of ascertainment."

Northon is associated with the Thomas More Society, a conservative legal group whose newly formed Amistad Project filed lawsuits alleging widespread voter fraud in Michigan and other swing states which ultimately voted for President Donald Trump.

In a November 20 statement from the Thomas More Society which has since been taken offline, the organization said it would be helping the Trump campaign file election lawsuits on a case-by-case basis.

In the statement, Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani said, "We are excited to have the Amistad Project as a partner in the fight to ensure the integrity of our elections. The Amistad Project has uncovered an organized effort involving multiple private organizations and partners working with government officials to design, fund, and implement an improper and illegal scheme to create an unconstitutional two-tiered election system to deliver the presidency to Joseph R. Biden."

#7 Uh-huh:

Margaret Claire Hoover (born December 11, 1977) is an American conservative political commentator, political strategist, media personality, author, and great-granddaughter of Herbert Hoover, the 31st U.S. president. She is author of the book "American Individualism: How A New Generation of Conservatives Can Save the Republican Party", published by Crown Forum in 2011. Hoover hosts PBS's reboot of the conservative interview show Firing Line.

I'm not posting this article because I have high hopes for the upcoming hearings but because I think Raskin spoke for many on the left when expressed these sentiments about TFG:

"But you know, the guy's a walking crime wave, and he has committed crimes all over the country, including sexual harassment and assault on a lot of people. There's bank fraud and there's real estate fraud and there's tax fraud," Raskin said.

"And there are prosecutors all over the country, looking at all that stuff. I don't want us to fetishize Donald Trump that much--he will meet you know, his maker, one place or another, there will be accountability and a reckoning with the law."

#7 Cohen can now dish up a big fat serving of "I told you so."

"I think you'd be better off asking LftHnd what the definition of "Science" is, what it means, to him. It doesn't appear he knows. That or he's trolling. Seriously, no one can be that stupid, can they?"

It will be interested to see if LFTHNDTHRDS comes back to this thread yet again with his nonsense. Stupid or trolling? How about both?

"Not one of you morons can offer a scientific answer."

From the second link in the above post in case you miss it:

United States
The United States has fully vaccinated 62.5% of its population, mostly with the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna. Mortality data by vaccination status is published by the US CDC.

This chart presents the COVID-19 death rate among unvaccinated people and among fully-vaccinated people.

"Please explain (with actual numbers) how we began vaccinating people in December 2019 and still ended up with more COVID casualties in 2020 than we had in 2019."

As the pandemic rages one, the unvaccinated for the most part are the ones who are dying:

"In his, uh, defense, LftHndThrds might just be so dumb he can't understand what I just said."

Based on his comments in this thread, I would say he's a binary thinker.

"America is very the ---- far from herd immunity"

Herd immunity is proving to be very illusive indeed:

Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH
@ashishkjha
Recently saw patient for COVID round 2

Had COVID last spring with long hospital stay

Now admitted with reinfection. Unvaccinated

He couldn't believe he had COVID again

Had been told he had life-long immunity
