Former Arizona AG reportedly knew the truth about Trump's 'Big Lie' claim, but chose to bury it. (via MaddowBlog)
Naturally, the GOP state attorney general would’ve loved to present evidence in support of Trump’s conspiracy theories, and Brnovich went out of his way to look for anything that might substantiate his party’s “big lie.” But the Arizonan ultimatelyAs it turns out, however, there’s apparently a bit more to this story than we previously realized.
We know now this thanks to documents released by Brnovich’s successor: Arizona’s new Democratic state attorney general, Kris Mayes. From the Post’s article, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News: The records show how Brnovich used his office to further claims about voting in Maricopa County that his own staff considered inaccurate. They suggest that his administration privately disregarded fact-checks provided by state investigators while publicly promoting incomplete accounts of the office’s work.
For Trump, the scandal was that Brnovich wouldn’t go along with his lies. For the reality-based community, the actual scandal was that Brnovich knew the whole truth but buried it. There is a degree of irony to the circumstances: House Republicans recently created a select subcommittee to investigate the “weaponization” of government, with a special emphasis on the alleged politicization of law enforcement.and Arizona’s former state attorney general, there are plenty of recent examples of powerful prosecutors abusing their offices. The question, of course, is whether the Republicans’ “weaponization” panel will care about these examples — and I think we all know the answer.
