The Arizona grand jury that indicted 18 Republican supporters of Donald Trump who falsely claimed he won the state in the 2020 election wanted to consider also charging the former president, but prosecutors urged them not to, according to court documents filed this week.
The court records filed by Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office contain exchanges between prosecutors and the grand jurors, who heard 18 days of testimony.
As grand jurors were considering possible charges, a prosecutor asked them not to indict Trump, citing a U.S. Justice Department policy that limits the prosecution of someone for the same crime twice and making a PowerPoint presentation on that policy. The prosecutor, who isn’t identified in the records, also didn’t know whether authorities had all the evidence they would need to charge Trump at that time.
Trump isn’t going to be prosecuted federally, because the judiciary is corrupt. So the idea that he is facing multiple prosecutions is silly.
‘We don’t have enough evidence’ is a far better reason not to.
If we are able to hold politicians responsible for crimes done in pursuit of power, then they’re all in trouble
