Ex-Arizona attorney general held back records disproving election fraud claims

The former attorney general of Arizona, Mark Brnovich, failed to release documents that showed his office’s investigation into the 2020 election did not find evidence of widespread fraud in the state’s most populous county.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Brnovich would not turn over public records that detailed his investigators’ findings. His successor, the Democratic attorney general Kris Mayes, released the records, which showed several reports that debunked rampant claims of election problems in Maricopa county.

Brnovich, a Republican, was running for US Senate in 2022 while his office oversaw an investigation into the 2020 election. He released two reports related to the work – one that showed just one example of a dead person voting and one “interim report” that made nebulous, unfounded criticisms of the county’s elections.
But the unreleased reports show Brnovich’s investigators did not agree with some assertions he made publicly, such as that the county did not follow proper signature verification procedures or that the county had not been responsive to his requests for information.
In an interview with the Guardian on Wednesday, Mayes said her office discovered a bunch of unfulfilled records requests upon taking over in January. She also wanted to find any potential final report for the 2020 investigation, which was not found.
Her office released two additional interim reports and an investigative summary, which are all publicly posted on the attorney general’s website now.
“This office has a solemn duty to be honest and transparent with the people of Arizona,” Mayes said. “The dark cloud cast over the 2020 and 2022 elections because of the insane conspiracy theories perpetrated by high-profile election deniers could have and should have been stopped, especially as it related to Maricopa county and its elections officials. I believe the people of Arizona had a right to know this information before the 2022 election. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.”

The investigation is considered closed, though there are hundreds more documents going through the redaction process that will be released once the office has completed that process.
The office under Brnovich spent about 10,000 hours on the investigation and each of its 60 investigators spent at least some time on it, the Post reported.
Mayes said it is hard to put a dollar figure on how much that cost the state or taxpayers, but the whole effort was clearly a “distraction from the core mission of this office”.
“But I also want to say I’m incredibly proud of the work the agents and support staff who worked on these investigations did. They did so diligently, thoroughly and professionally, as they do all of their work here,” she said.
Mayes said she did not get any insight into why Brnovich did not release the information while he was in charge, saying Brnovich would need to answer that for himself. Brnovich did not respond to a request for comment.
“This kind of failure to release information to the people of Arizona is not how this office will operate moving forward under my leadership,” Mayes said. “My administration will be truthful and transparent.”
The Post report compelled elections officials throughout the state to comment on the revelations, especially those who Brnovich had previously criticized publicly.
Clint Hickman, the chairman of the Maricopa county board of supervisors, said he was “absolutely disgusted” that Brnovich concealed reports on the 2020 election and applauded Mayes for finally releasing the documents. He implored people who care about elections to read the reports.
“This was a gross misuse of his elected office and an appalling waste of taxpayer dollars, as well as a waste of the time and effort of professional investigators,” Hickman said in a statement.
He pointed to the onslaught of threats and harassment the board, elections officials and election workers have faced while false claims of impropriety in the 2020 election lingered for years.
“For three years, my colleagues have been called traitors, cheaters, and liars … and those are just the names I can print,” Hickman said. “It has been absolute hell on all of us, but I would do it again in a second and I believe that every member of this board would do it again because all of us stayed within the law.”
Stephen Richer, the county’s Republican recorder, noted two elements of the reports where investigators contradicted Brnovich’s interim report by saying the county had been responsive and followed signature verification procedures. Those notes from investigators “distinctly show the ways in which our office cooperated with and supported the attorney general’s office in the development of last year’s interim report,” Richer said.
Arizona’s Secretary of state Adrian Fontes, a Democrat who in 2020 was the Maricopa county recorder, said he was “deeply disappointed by the wasteful and pointless actions by a top law enforcement official who diverted thousands of hours of staff time to pursue unfounded allegations of election fraud”. |

Mark Brnovich faces ethics review amid allegations he hid evidence disproving election fraud
| Quote: | Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) is seeking an ethics review into former state Attorney General Mark Brnovich amid allegations he buried findings from his office’s investigation into the 2020 election that showed there was no evidence of widespread fraud or misconduct.

In a letter sent to the Arizona State Board on Thursday, Hobbs requested state officials to investigate Brnovich, accusing him of “likely unethical conduct.” The request comes after it was reported earlier this week that Brnovich had withheld findings from his office’s investigation that showed there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud affecting the outcome of the 2020 election.

“This conduct — which is harmful to our democracy, our State, and legal profession itself — appears to have coincided with the time in which Mr. Brnovich and other attorneys in his Office were actively negotiating and then participating in a diversion agreement with the State Bar,” Hobbs wrote. “I urge the State Bar to carefully review … and take any appropriate action.”
Brnovich pushed back against Hobbs’s request, dismissing the allegations as irrelevant. |

House Republicans Quietly Halt Inquiry Into Trump’s Finances
| Quote: | WASHINGTON — House Republicans have quietly halted a congressional investigation into whether Donald J. Trump profited improperly from the presidency, declining to enforce a court-supervised settlement agreement that demanded that Mazars USA, his former accounting firm, produce his financial records to Congress.
Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and the chairman of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, made clear he had abandoned any investigation into the former president’s financial dealings — professing ignorance about the inquiry Democrats opened when they controlled the House — and was instead focusing on whether President Biden and members of his family were involved in an influence-peddling scheme.
“I honestly didn’t even know who or what Mazars was,” said Mr. Comer, who was the senior Republican on the oversight panel during the last Congress, while Democrats waged a lengthy legal fight over obtaining documents from the firm.
“What exactly are they looking for?” Mr. Comer added in a brief statement to The New York Times on Monday. “They’ve been ‘investigating’ Trump for six years. I know exactly what I’m investigating: money the Bidens received from China.”
He confirmed the end to the inquiry into Mr. Trump after Democrats wrote to Mr. Comer raising concerns about the fact that Mazars, the former president’s longtime accounting firm that cut ties with him last year, had stopped turning over documents related to his financial dealings. The top Democrat on the panel suggested that Mr. Comer had worked with Mr. Trump’s lawyers to effectively kill the investigation, an accusation the chairman denied. |

lock um up lock um up.... wasn't that the trump slogan about hillary.... yet trump is upset that GA and NY prosecutors said they would go after criminals even trump...
Remember Nunes family farm had what 3/4 undocumented workers that they never verified with a very simple check to see if the ids presented were fake available to all employers. I say one year of jail for any employer with over 10 employees with fake IDs. second time caught 5 years, and third 10 years. lock um up lock um up...

Revealed: New texts allegedly show Devin Nunes aide organizing Biden disinformation plot
| Quote: | Former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas released what he claims to be texts showing an aide to former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) coordinating with Trump allies how to spread Biden/Ukraine conspiracy theories.
Parnas, who has been slowly rolling out his correspondences with figures in Trump world, was part of Giuliani's effort to push the idea that Biden sought to oust a Ukrainian prosecutor before his son's business holdings could be investigated, which has been repeatedly debunked.
"Devin Nunes with his aide Derek Harvey coordinated with John Solomon, Victoria Toensing, and Rudy Giuliani how to disseminate the disinformation that they sent me to go get on Hunter and Joe Biden!" Parnas posted to X, teasing that there would be "more to come."

The texts show Parnas speaking with Harvey, who told him that right-wing reporter John Solomon "needs to get me the material," and they needed to set up a Skype call with "your four people." He later told Parnas that ne needed to "prep a staff lawyer."
The idea that Biden and his son arranged a bribery or extortion scheme was the basis of former President Donald Trump's attempt to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which led to his first impeachment trial.
It has also been the basis for the GOP's effort to impeach Biden this year, although reports indicate House Republicans are coming to grips with the idea they cannot muster the evidence to do so. |
