Nicolle Wallace's interview the week before the 4th with Jack Smith, the prosecutor in the Jan. 6 insurrection, warned about the November 2026 elections and feared interference by Trump's feds. The only institutions still able to prosecute and deal with this are the 50 state attorneys general and prosecuting under state statutes. https://www.yahoo.com/.../jack-smith-says-very-concerned...
Heads up, everyone. Lucky for Colorado, Phil Weiser is still Attorney General and Jena Griswold is the Secretary of /state and chief election official for the state. They have successfully defied Trump's feds in the matter of Tina Peters by using state statutes to prosecute. That kept the feds at bay (until Gov. Polis caved on the terms of her sentence and now fired the parole board members who defied him.) Weiser is the Democratic candidate for Governor per the primary, and Griswold is likewise the winning Democrat in the primary, seeking to replace Weiser as AG. Both have got invaluable experience in matters like this, thanks to the Peters case.. I have no doubt that the FBI and ICE will try to confiscate and control the election results and the ballots on Trump's orders and behalf. Expect fireworks if they try. All AG's but the Trump loyalists in the other states are geared up for the fight for democracy, too.
