Michigan Legislators Face Calls For Possible Criminal Charges After Meeting With President Trump On Certification JONATHAN TURLEY
We have been discussing the campaign of The Lincoln Project and others to harass and abuse lawyers who represent the Trump campaign or other parties bringing election challenges. Similar campaigns have targeted election officials who object to counting irregularities. Now, the Michigan Attorney General and others are suggesting that Republicans who oppose certification or even meet with President Donald Trump on the issue could be criminally investigated or charged. Once again, the media is silent on this clearly abusive use of the criminal code target members of the opposing party in their raising objections under state law.
Jonathan is completely right about this. This is frankly outrageous. Legislators should be free to meet with whomever they want unless they are concocting a criminal conspiracy. And no, this is not that.
