'I think we're going to see a lot more indictments': Michigan AG on overlap in Trump cases

Even before DOJ special counsel Jack Smith indicted Donald Trump for his effort to subvert the 2020 election results, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed charges against 16 fake Michigan Trump electors, and a special counsel filed charges against at least two Trump supporters who accessed voting machines. A.G. Nessel talked with Alex Wagner about the federal case, the state cases and players who turn up where the cases overlap.

AG Dana Nessel is the best! Get those traitors!

[citizen_of_earth_]

This is what happens when a billionaire gets away with so much fraud that they start to think their above the law.

[eiforget]

The indictments are well deserved and it’s good to see them flowing in, but what I really want to see is a slew of convictions. This traitor needs to be put in prison where he belongs.

[Fuzzamajumula]

This warms my heart. Seeing these horrible people held accountable for their blatant, lawless, conspiracy renews my faith in the justice system. Thank you, Michigan.

[RaNiaNameste]

Every eligible American needs to exercise their Constitutional duty to vote or we & the world will pay the consequences. We cannot allow this evil fascist authoritarian or his GOP party to take control of our nation.

Dana Nessel is a flat-out heroine... a champion. Michigan is really fortunate that she wants to do this work. And it ain't easy.

[Chris.Davies]

It is going to be incredibly hilarious to witness what hare-brained defense(s) Trump's incompetent lawyers will try to use.
And it's going to be hilarious to hear the judge declare those defense strategies to be invalid, and to try again.

[Danboster]

I have never been so proud to be a Michigander.

[ChrisLaprise-pn]

Thanks Dana for protecting Michigan's votes and prosecuting the scum that commit crimes against us.

[rofflestomp]

I certainly love to see them wasting donated campaign money on Trump's defense! Sweet!

[rjunehwb]

Aren't there nearly 150 representative who should not be running because they joined the spirit of the coup. (Less than 20 senators.) People who joined the coup are getting to vote for legislation to prevent another coup attempt. Lots of luck on that. Who is watching the watchers?

[sharondavid-melly]

Important to stay positive. So glad to hear from Michigan's AG, 💪🇺🇸👍💙

[deanfiora]

Trump said he feels honored by these indictments. Let us keep honoring the man!

[ngaymat]

All indictments should be 45 pages from now on.

[pattydonohue]

Go Dana!! I’m so proud of you. Stay strong, woman!

[willjoful]

DOJ better lock up Donald J TRUMP really quickly.

[petergiaschi]

Brava, Ms. Nessel. We could use someone like you up here in Canada. Keep going!!!

[SatansNeighbor]

Trump needs an "indictment punch card" where the 10th indictment is free...

[eleegs]

They should be tried for treason and criminal stupidity

[sailinbob]

To heck with a calendar. Politician is a job. I'm a retired yacht builder. I've been arrested and my availability do to my job never came up. If anyone, including, and especially Trump, says, Sorry it's interfering with my ability to do my job so that court date don't work for me, send the Marshal after him.
