Two fake GOP electors in Michigan asked a judge this week to dismiss their charges, arguing that state Attorney General Dana Nessel conceded that they didn’t have criminal intent when she said they were “brainwashed” after the 2020 election.
Attorneys for fake electors Mari-Ann Henry and Clifford Frost separately filed motions to drop the case, citing the comments Nessel made last week to a liberal advocacy group. CNN obtained a recording of her appearance, where she said the GOP electors were “brainwashed” and “genuinely believe” former President Donald Trump won in 2020.
“Convictions would require proof that (Henry) intended by her actions to defraud,” Henry’s attorney wrote, adding that Nessel’s prosecutors “now claim that (Henry) believed Donald Trump won the election. If she had that belief, (Henry’s) alleged actions could not have been performed with the intent to cheat or deceive anyone.”
If they get their case dismissed on these grounds we will see Trump followers straight up commit acts of treason and may even go as far as overthrowing some state governments.
They always point and say "hey I was brainwashed " and point to this trail. Hope judge isn't that stupid.
Hmm, brainwashed by Facebook posts. Clearly they're not competent functional adults, so the solution is simple, declare them wards of the state and assign them a guardian who has to supervise them and do things like set a curfew they need to be home by. If you admit in court that you're not a functional adult, you don't get to be treated like a functional adult.
I like it also takes away your right to vote and to own a firearm.
Don't forget driver's license as well. Couldn't trust someone like that to operate such a dangerous piece of equipment.
If only there were a place where we could house dangerous, mentally unstable people from the populous.
Of course, for me to have any thought on imprisoning people, I must first recognize the multitude of judicial and correctional atrocities that happen seemingly daily all over the country.
