Trump-Loving Attorney Is Third Charged in Michigan Voting Machine Investigation Thursday’s announcement of charges against lawyer Stefanie Lambert “ends the charging decision in this investigation,” prosecutors said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump...rged-in-michigan-voting-machine-investigation Criminal charges were unveiled on Thursday against a third person in an alleged plot in Michigan to gain illegal access to voting equipment in the wake of the 2020 election. Prosecutors charged Stefanie Lambert, an attorney who has pushed election-denial conspiracies in the courtroom, with four felonies: undue possession of a voting machine, conspiracy to commit undue possession of a voting machine, conspiracy to commit unauthorized access to a computer system, and willfully damaging a voting machine. Each charge carries a prison term of up to five years. Lambert was arraigned before a judge on Thursday afternoon and pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to the Associated Press. Lambert will be the last person charged in the investigation, according to a statement from Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson, who served as special prosecutor in the case. Her indictment was issued two days after two other people, unsuccessful state attorney general candidate Matthew DePerno and former state Rep. Daire Rendon, were charged in connection with the alleged conspiracy. Investigators with Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office named six other suspects in handing off their inquiry to Hilson, who convened a citizen grand jury in March to hear evidence in the matter. Among those under suspicion but not charged were Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf and Doug Logan, the former chief executive of security firm Cyber Ninjas. Days before DePerno and Rendon were charged, Lambert went on a conservative podcast to say that she’d been told she’d been indicted by Hilson. “I know that I’ve done absolutely nothing illegal,” she said. It was not immediately clear why her charges were issued after those of her alleged co-conspirators. Along with DePerno and Rendon, Lambert was accused by Nessel’s office of having “orchestrated a coordinated plan to gain access to voting tabulators.” After the 2020 presidential election, according to a statement from Hilson’s office, clerks in three Michigan counties were “deceived” into turning over voting machines to “unauthorized third parties,” who took them to hotel rooms or Airbnbs. “The clerks had no idea of the scope, nature or duration of how their tabulators were going to be manipulated or that they would be out of their possession for an extended period of time,” he said. Computer experts asked to examine the tabulators “were also deceived by some of the charged Defendants,” and broke into the machines under the false impression that the “tampering… was lawful.” In December 2020, Lambert filed a conspiracy-stuffed lawsuit on behalf of Sheriff Leaf and several other plaintiffs alleging “massive election fraud.” The suit, which failed to provide any evidence, invited the court to “speculative leaps toward a hazy and nebulous inference,” a judge said at the time. Lambert’s own attorney characterized her as “a zealous advocate for her clients” in a statement texted to a MLive.com reporter ahead of Thursday’s arraignment. The lawyer, Michael J. Smith, insisted Lambert “did not violate the law,” adding that she “intends to sue Hilson for malicious prosecution.”
Let's see what the MAGA GOP idiots are up to in Michigan. Evolution is the new "election fraud". 'Pound sand!' Michigan MAGA GOP chair freaks out on critics while attacking evolution https://www.rawstory.com/pound-sand-michigan/
Quick reminder----There are no such things as fake electors. It's up to Congreff, and Congreff only, to decide which slates of electors to accept.
Let's outline something that should be very clear by now. Putting forward a slate of fake electors from a state with the intent of undermining democracy is a felony crime.
It's a CULT. They were brainwashed. Laughably... this is their legal defense. Michigan ‘Fake Electors’: We Aren’t Guilty—We Were ‘Brainwashed’ https://www.thedailybeast.com/michigan-fake-electors-we-arent-guiltybecause-we-were-brainwashed Two Republican “fake electors” in Michigan are using a novel legal strategy in an attempt to weasel their way out of criminal charges stemming from their involvement with former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election in the state. Lawyers for Clifford Frost and Mari-Ann Henry argued that the pair were effectively “brainwashed” by Trump into believing the stolen election conspiracy—and therefore did not possess the correct state of mind to be convicted of fraud. The argument is an attempt to throw state Attorney General Dana Nessel’s words back in her face, after she described the pair of Republicans as “brainwashed” by the former president’s lies. The next hearings in the case are scheduled for next month—and it remains unclear what chances the strategy has of working. Read it at CNN

This GOP candidate checks all the boxes for requirements for state Supreme Court justice: Trump supporter, 2020 election denier and active criminal cases related to ballot machine tampering. Prominent 2020 election denier seeks GOP nod for Michigan Supreme Court race A prominent ally of Donald Trump who is facing charges of trying to illegally access and tamper with voting machines in Michigan after the 2020 election is seeking the GOP nomination for the state's highest court https://www.uppermichiganssource.co...er-seeks-gop-nod-michigan-supreme-court-race/ LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Donald Trump ally who faces felony charges of trying to illegally access and tamper with voting machines is seeking the Republican nomination for the highest court in Michigan, an epicenter of efforts to overturn the 2020 election. In June, attorney Matthew DePerno announced his intent to run for the state Supreme Court, almost one year after he was charged and arraigned. Delegates will vote on nominees Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Michigan GOP party convention for two state Supreme Court seats in a battleground state where the court has the potential final say in Michigan election matters. Michigan Supreme Court races are officially nonpartisan — meaning candidates appear on the ballot without party labels — but candidates are nominated at party conventions. Democratic-backed justices currently hold a 4-3 majority. Republican nominees would have to win both seats to take back majority control while Democrats stand to gain a 5-2 favorability. DePerno rose to prominence for pushing false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from then-President Trump. He unsuccessfully ran for Michigan attorney general in 2022 and lost a bid to be the GOP state party chair in 2023. DePerno was named as a “prime instigator” in the voting machine tampering case. Five vote tabulators were illegally taken from three Michigan counties and brought to a hotel room, according to documents released in 2022 by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office. Investigators found the tabulators were broken into and “tests” were performed on the equipment. He was charged with undue possession of a voting machine and conspiracy. A state judge has ruled it is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, to take a machine without a court order or permission directly from the secretary of state’s office. DePerno has denied wrongdoing. He’s not due back in court until Nov. 21 after the general election and no trial date has been set. He also faces a separate complaint from the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, threatening his law license, over accused attorney misconduct when he represented a former state lawmaker.
