Well, howdy there, Internet people. It's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about Michigan
and Attorney General up there, Dana Nessel,
and her plans to proceed.
Because, I mean, not to put too fine a point on it,
but it seems like she got tired of waiting.
In Michigan, there are a number of allegations
surrounding people who may have participated
in the electors' plot, how it's come to be known.
The Attorney General submitted kind of a referral
for federal prosecution.
It's been like a year.
And there hasn't been any public movement on it.
So she has decided to reopen the investigation.
And move forward with it.
There are complaints from the GOP up there,
basically saying that it's a political stunt
and that the people really shouldn't want somebody
who's going to use tax dollars
to constantly go after their political enemies.
That's how they're trying to frame it.
I don't know that that framing is accurate
or that it's going to hold for very long.
Some of the quotes coming out of the Attorney General's office
really makes it seem like they're headed
to a charging decision like now.
They're saying they're reopening the investigation.
But some interesting quotes include,
there is clear evidence to support charges
against those 16 false electors.
That's straight from the Attorney General.
That's from Nussel.
I don't think that this is going to be a political show.
I think that this is an Attorney General at the state level
who doesn't want to wait anymore.
Who isn't willing to see what Garland is up to.
And plans to proceed pretty quickly.
I have a feeling that the kind of flippant response
from the GOP up there is going to come back to bite them.
It doesn't appear that they're taking it seriously.
And based on some of the public statements
from the Attorney General's office
and the information coming out,
I don't think that this is a political thing.
It certainly appears that they plan on moving forward
with charges very quickly.
And in Michigan, there are charges
that kind of directly address this sort of thing.
There are laws on the books about kind of what happened.
So I don't think it's a stretch to say
that this will move forward pretty quickly.
But it also should serve as a reminder
that while many of us are growing frustrated
with the Department of Justice's slow pace,
methodical pace, however you want to frame it,
there are state investigations that either are open
or might be reopened at any moment.
There are a whole lot of people saying
that the justice system is broken.
And this is kind of a sign
that you're seeing state-level attorneys general
kind of feel the same way about the speed
at which the federal government is moving.
Now, there are a whole bunch of reasons
for the federal government to be moving as slowly as it is,
but it doesn't look like the states
are willing to wait much longer.
So this is something that we'll have to wait
and see how it plays out,
but I'm pretty sure you'll see this material again.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
