Arizona grand jury indicts two Cochise County supervisors on election related charges

 Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced a state Superior Court grand jury indictment against Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby related to actions in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm election.

Even though the county leans heavily Republican, the supervisors are being charged for not following the proper deadline to approve the county's election results, which included around 47,000 votes, for the statewide canvass.

Both Judd and Crosby are being charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of interference with an election officer.

"I took an oath to uphold the rule of law, and my office will continue to enforce Arizona's elections laws and support our election officials as they carry out the duties and responsibilities of their offices." The charges are both class 5 felonies, which carry a minimum of six months behind bars if someone is convicted.

The conspiracy charge alleges that the supervisors were looking at stalling on approving results around Oct. 11, 2022, and Dec. 1, 2022.

On the interference charge, the indictment alleges that Judd and Cosby "Knowingly interfered with the efforts of Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to complete the canvas of the 2022 Statewide General Election by preventing the Cochise County Board of Supervisors from canvassing the election within the time period required by law, and preventing the timely transmission of the county's returns to the Secretary of State's Office for inclusion in the statewide canvass." The county approved the results on Dec. 1, but it was only after a court order forced them to meet and do so.

In Maricopa County, issues on Election Day in 2022 led to lawsuits from Republican candidates such as Kari Lake, which at some points included asking to overturn the results.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
