Last week, the Arizona State Senate sent a subpoena to Maricopa County election officials asking for information and voting material the county previously refused to turn over [See Here].
Today, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors responded to the legislative subpoena:
Obviously given the nature of the court rulings that have sustained the position of the state senate, the Maricopa County BoS view the legislative subpoena as legally valid but unenforceable. They appear to stand in open defiance of the state upper-chamber because the county board perceives no threat from any enforcement mechanism (law enforcement or state attorney).
Of course because no one is held accountable anymore for anything except non Dems.
Well, these guys are advanced. Pure Communists.
at least put the numbers out there. whatever they have.
Yes! I agree, put the numbers out so far.
that will activate some trouble.
Bring it on!
The voting public and every citizen has a right to be assured that nothing nefarious happened. By denying access to the evidence on the routers, it’s akin to admitting there was fraud. Period. They don’t own it. They are to keep it intact for situations precisely like this.
I still say if audits are unfair and un-American then how is it the IRS can use them and they are commonplace for businesses?
Was that letter written by an unhinged 20 year old SJW?
There was obviously no fraud, and we’re not providing any materials that may prove otherwise!
My bet is it was written by someone whose background is strong in politics but weak in respect for the law. Someone with a flair for drama. “The trick . . .is not minding that it hurts.”
Nice reference. Lawrence of Arabia or Prometheus (in which David, the supposedly-soulless-but-evil android quotes T.E. Lawrence)? Both?
More to the point, “The trick, Mr. Potter, is not minding that it hurts.” WE MIND. WE OBJECT. WE DO NOT ACCEPT the hurt that has been committed upon our Republic!
Sellers is an elderly Republican- probably of the McCain political machine.
Bet they wouldn’t take this position if Sheriff Joe were still in charge. They are now safe with a Soros Sheriff
You got that right! Sheriff Penzone ‘knowingly’ took the maximum campaign donations from one of the largest Internet Publishers for CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING, “BACKPAGE.COM” ~ and voters believe he also lost to his opponent from election FRAUD.
Illegals are given a red carpet when they break into Arizona ~ why not? AZ’s ‘mafia’ CRIMINALS ~ Board of Supervisors, Ducey & the pitiful Penzone have given them carte blanche.
Arizona Senate, stick to your guns and force the issue. Don’t be feckless and weak, lacking in integrity. This is the hill to die on. Enforce your subpoena.
They no longer have the votes to enforce it.
Sen. Boyer is a disgusting turncoat, lacking in integrity, ruining his state and the country.
The AG can….and he wants to be governor.
I think the Az senate knew this was going to happen all along.
I also think that a lot of voters all around the country were watching this and sadly not expecting much.
I would think that the power the Arizona senate holds would top this guy’s and his committee.
Their power is useless if they refuse to employ it. The Board of Supervisors is obviously confident that neither the Arizona Senate itself nor any other state or local authority will enforce the Senate’s subpoenas.
Assuming a limited audit report is issued which is not truly end-to-end because all the forensic material needed to make the audit fully complete was withheld, then the Board of Supervisors will simply dismiss the audit findings as being invalid and of no credibility in demonstrating election irregularities.
Lets see who in the Republican Senate will vote to NOT enforce it. Then vote them out.
This!!
They have the Sen. Boyer(R-D) get out of jail card.
Unfortunately I strongly suspect that these stooges of Satan aren’t the only ones.
Afterall there are Trillions of worthless dollars in Heaven or Hell at stake.
So biblical and just.
Yet we had to put up with the Russian Collusion Delusion for four years.
It sounds like they aren’t worried about losing their phoney baloney jobs. Someone must have their back. Hmmm. I wonder who?
This letter reads like what a child hopes would be a catchy sound bite that will get them noticed by a willing media.
Actually, it reads like people are totally protected by swarms of federal judges, hordes of DOJ lawyers, and hundreds of heavily armed, trigger-happy FBI SWAT goons.
I am sure he is fully confident the DOJ will be filing many briefs or providing other assistance the Lawfare crowd misses in whatever courts this ends up in.
And they don’t fear that you or I will act….rashly.
You got that right!
They just needed to end it with”na na na boo boo.”
With a tongue sticking out emoji.
I had a feeling the State of Arizona AG would not go after the board of corrupt supervisors
Balls in senate court and AG let’s see what we got.
A good lawyer never asks a question he does not already know the answer to. A successful leader never makes an ultimatum he cannot back up by force.
I think the Maricopa Board of Supervisors just called the AZ Senate’s bluff.
I don’t think the Senate actually needs the routers to show the voting fraud.
Then why issue the subpoena? I sort of get your comment, but follow thru on your logic.
If the subpoena was meant to smoke out the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, then what–precisely–has been smoked out?
The looters, murderers in the cities, shoplifters in San Francisco have already figured this out, there is no law enforcement or justice department. It is evident we are in a lawless society run by a totalitarian government. They don’t bother to pretend anymore, they are in power and their response if you don’t like it is FU. And if you do more to complain about it, you’ll get the Jan 6 treatment.
It is only lawless if you are a democrat.
Well, did anybody actually expect any other kind of response from the crooked board of supervisors?
I think the AZ Senate was just dotting “i’s” and crossing “t’s” knowing they needed to establish thorough legal grounds in order to be able to take unprecedented actions to physically secure the items in question.
If they had balls it would have been done already.
Hear me out before mob jumping me.
But, this is spygate all over. The guilty are out mocking us, big smile like they know nothing will happen to them.
All of them. Just like Comey and McCabe appearing on fake news all relaxed, trashing Trump knowing nothing would happen to them and they were right.
Obama is throwing a huge party for hundreds of people. Dude is not worried at all about his community organizers stealing election.
Who’s going to mob jump you for telling the truth.
Agree Kleen. Many believe the rats are exposed and scurrying in fear. On the contrary, the more they are exposed, with no consequences, the bigger their playground gets.
The IC must have scoured enough dirty deeds that everything is going to die now. They are thumbing noses.
I agree. They know their ace in the hole is the Supreme Corrupt Court who will do nothing no matter the evidence of fraud! No matter how many States prove fraudulent elections! It will be a Supreme embarrassment!
I’m just wondering when will the deep state deploy Q with Trust the Plan BS.
4D chess blah blah blah.
moveon.org AKA Your Side Lost; Get Over It or History is On Our Side Because We Say So, etc., ad infinitum.
There is no accountability because there is no higher authority than the criminal who defies all lawful authority.
Thus has liberalism reached it terminus, its reductio ad absurdum.
Compare and contrast:
“The way out of this morass isn’t to choose a slightly different flavor of a fermented mess. It’s to opt for a different system altogether. Which one? That’s easy: the one that always wins. The one that has seen a long parade of empires rise and fall. The one that kept at it as isms flared and burnt out. The one that still has us today praying in precisely the same words our ancestors did two millennia ago. The one that survived, either because it was astonishingly lucky or inherently true, whichever better suits your sensibilities.”

Simply stated, we must take our lead from the Law of Moses or face the prospect of unending lawlessness.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I am pretty sure I heard Boris Epsteyn say on Bannon’s show today that there was an issue with the way the senators’ attorney gave notice of the subpoena. He did not elaborate except to say that the problem would be taken care of.
I would guess that it has to do with any public notice requirements since the Maricopa County BoS is an official body.
Prove the election was fair, as is your duty to do, and help us “move on.”
Do not vote for anyone not fighting for this issue. They are part of the problem.
I rather see the GOP go to hell and lose all seats than keep having my vote stolen.
Why bother? Really?
Get out to vote, stand in line and then your vote is switched to the Ds.
Fix the fraud or this country will not stand.
In many respects, the only thing that opened many eyes was seeing what the left would do…how far they would go. President Trump proved that initially, but there are far too many that still refuse to see.
Many of the 20-30 something social justice nitwits will not see the error of their ways until the marxists smack them upside their head when they start losing the freedom to be stupid.
I join you in this while also knowing that if we do that, we will be doing exactly what the left wants. BUT, it’s hard not to feel like what’s the point in voting if the system is rigged. They’ve got us by the proverbial balls.
Many GOP are “the left”
The globalist enemies thought and planned well ahead for all of this. The enemy knew as long as they controlled the law enforcement and judges who would rule on their traitor deeds the enemy had nothing to worry about. Thus the in your face brazen juvenile bating letter.
This is classic and ought to be remembered by PA and WI officials who “ask politely” for cooperation on ensuring a fraud free election in 2022 or 2024. Unless there is enforcement the mice will play all day. I think most GOPe and uniparty elected officials also prefer this endless run-around.
As we have seen even on the federal level, no enforcement or punishment for Secret Document leaks (James Wolf and Ali Watkins, https://theothermccain.com/2018/06/08/ny-times-reporter-and-senate-staffer-caught-in-sex-for-leaks-scandal/) and soooo many others.
The executive authority resides in the Governor’s authority. Can someone here, who knows Arizona law and procedure explain to me why the AG and the Governor can’t execute on the subpoenas? The legislatures typically have no law enforcement powers, but the AG should be able to assist, and a motion for contempt may be a prerequisite. If a Judge issues an order for law enforcement to act, that should get arrests going.
In older states, such as NH, the Judge would find the persons in contempt and issue a Capias, an order for their arrest. There would then be a hearing where the arrested would be given one chance to comply with the order. After that, it’s off to the local county jail.
Don’t know if such a procedure is available under Arizona law.
Would love to be educated on this if a learned Arizonan is lurking about.
.
Ditto. I don’t practice in AZ either.
I tend to suspect that there are procedures but the legislature is being very wussy and half-hearted about it.
It’s all assuming the governor isn’t a dirty stinking rino…but he is
Governor Ducey was in on the steal. I don’t know about the AG
Same laws here. Our Rules of Civil Procedure are nearly identical to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
As a practical matter, between governmental jurisdictions such as the state and county that are heavily intertwined on so many levels, there would be more of an attempt to accommodate and work things out to arrive at a compromise that would allow both jurisdictions to come together.
What’s happening here is unprecedented. It is in the realm of politics not law. It looks like these supervisors have gone rogue even as they claim the state legislators are rogue.
When two sides act like this, it usually means the case is going to trial, or, in real life, the two sides are on a collision path to war.
I found the letter most interesting. The Board of Supervisors govern a 3 billion dollar budget and have all sorts of excellent civil attorneys from nationally renown law firms on their list who could have written a persuasive letter citing to Arizona case law, statutes, and opinions already issued in this matter that could have been used effectively in forthcoming legal hearings on this matter. That is what I would have expected.
Instead, the letter that was sent does appear, as a commenter says above, to be written by a child using catchy phrases to attract media attention. This is telling.
Who is in charge down there and where is their judgment? Perhaps no local law firm that is esteemed wants to dirty their hands with this.
The basis of their action in writing this kind of snarky in-your-face letter has to be a part of a larger strategy to counter the audit that was laid out previously in some good detail by their lawfare legal advisors. The strategy covers what happens in a court of law if it comes to that again after the board’s refusal to comply, and also what happens in the court of public opinion.
IMHO, everything the the Board of Supervisors does in response to the audit has to be done in accordance with that larger strategy already laid out by their team of lawfare advisors. Both the board and their legal team are clearly confident that neither the Arizona Senate itself nor any other state or local authority will enforce the Senate’s subpoenas.
What a nasty letter.
Bad grammar expressing good sentiment.
Release the results and show the fraud. Put the county officials on the hot seat. Once results are put out the left will be on the defensive. The burden of proof that cheating did not occur will be on the county.
The stage this would give president Trump would be huge.
Yes. In fact, I do believe Obama and his 700 guests who have all been vetted by his “COVID coordinator” will be doing that very thing soon on Martha’s Vineyard.
America has been transformed and no one with any power to do anything about it has, is, or will bother because our team are a bunch of feckless, cowardly, complicit, deceptive, untrustworthy, lying, elitists who are just a couple of degrees of separation from the fascists who have taken control.
Absolutely correct.
Bring back tar and feathers.
Well, make it so number one!
Take the evidence.
Look around you, we are not going back. Is there anyone who thinks vaccines will not be mandatory?
Monopoly power at the head of DOJ effectively means no checks and balances in a pointedly extreme partisan environment such as we have. And the Uniparty being what it is, means we need more dramatic change.
DOJ should not be a department within the executive branch of goverment (there are others that are “independent”) and We The People must be more directly involved in choosing its leadership. I favor six AGs, directly elected, two each from the major parties and two more never affiliated with either party, with EACH capable of prosecuting independently via grand juries, etc. #FreeJustice
“You better put some ice on that.”
…and move on.
The foundation began its swift collapse when Clinton escaped retribution for lying to the public and USSC.
We are all rape bait now.
When Clintons escaped for drugs, murders, financial crimes and foreign sellouts…
.
Judges usually can issue orders to the local sheriff to arrest someone for contempt and to bring him/her and stuff before the court. If the local sheriff won’t, then perhaps the state police.
The local sheriff is in on the cheat.
Wow! So raid the homes and handcuff or I guess we do need to “go spit”.
Speaking of spiting…………..
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
H.L. Mencken
If there was no fraud why are they trying so hard to hide things? If they truly believed the election was “fair, free and open” they would not be working so hard to sweep everything under the rug. This goes for all the other states where Biden(*) votes miraculously showed up overnight.
Dominion has responded to their public information request letter. This must be the hang up.
In a sane world, that letter above would negate any contract involving taxpayers money.
Legislatures can nibble around the edges of voting integrity by passing Voter ID laws and such, but until it is mandated that the public has the right to inspect all aspects of an election, there will still be opportunities for fraud on a massive scale.
Every legislature busy passing laws needs to make clear that any contractor not complying with an election investigation will be permanently banned from doing further business in that state.
I spent many years working for one of the largest software publishers in their public practice team. In the former sane world, this letter would be the kiss of death for any vendor targeting sales to State and Local governments.
Dominion either fears nothing, or they fear everything.
If we only had a functioning DOJ, we’d already know.
? I don’t like this letter either
Does the immunity they assert extend to evidence material to the investigation of a criminal conspiracy?
Would be interesting to know.
Too bad that treason would be a federal issue. IMO, treason would be the appropriate charge.
John Brown was hanged for treason against Virginia.
In my understanding of FOIAs known as Public Records Law in AZ, the essence of this letter is accurate. Why the F would they send this? They will have to sue to get them…and they waited how long? I see this as a huge F up.
Once again–arrogant and condescending!!
Mocking as well, I’m surprised they didn’t reference UFOs.
Bingo
letter sounds pretty petulant and sulky to me. Like someone would sound if they’re trying to hide something and desperate to get you off their trail. If that’s all they’ve got, I feel sorry for them. It’s pretty obvious that they count themselves as the guilty party for the fraudulent election.
Sounds like Obama wrote it. Its the same idea behind installing a babbling demented old fool as the face of the Presidency. They are literally rubbing it in.
Chairman Sellers: “My pair of Jacks (and DOJ / FBI) beats your full house of Aces and Kings”.
AZ Senate: “Ok, we fold.”
Like this?
Please tell me:
how there can be a civil, peaceful solution to this in Arizona and all across the nation ????
All of these criminal, seditious traitors are doing all of this because they do not think any thing at all will happen – and nothing has for decades !!!!!!!!!
They have the illegitimate Garland and corrupt DOJ to protect them hence the threat to be prepared to defend yourselves for any misdeeds.
$102 Million+ MAGA War Chest wasted. Meanwhile,
Dominion Voting Machines Arrive in Ohio County Costing $6.17 Million Up Front — Machines Include Software to “Evaluate Voter Intent”
https://ussanews.com/News1/2021/08/01/dominion-voting-machines-arrive-in-ohio-county-costing-6-17-million-up-front-machines-include-software-to-evaluate-voter-intent/
Starke County is reporting unprecedented opioid overdose deaths.
These Dominion voting machines that interpret “voter intent” are necessary to ensure that dead Democrats have their voice heard.
I wonder what the next move will be?
The GOPe will unilaterally surrender in exchange for a fully-funded pension.
Damn the lawfare!
Full audits ahead!
Boy, that Sellers fellow sure is an arrogant SOB.
Or you could say he is a despicable child lashing out and spitting in the face of any Arizona voter with even a minor question on election integrity.
Give him a wheelchair with a big bow.
This statement only confirms it was the exact opposite of free and fair.
It would be nice if the audit folks were just setting the county folks up.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
– William Pitt.
Subpeona means “under penalty”. So, where’s the “peona”?
It’s coming when Garland and corrupt DOJ start with some crazy KKK law violations for conducting the audit.
They don’t have the votes (due to 2 sell-out RINO’s) to have them arrested. Karen Fann admitted that, and I believe Kelly Townsend admitted the 2 RINO’s would prevent them from being able to prosecute them for basically giving the senate Mickey’s middle finger.
However, I am hearing rumblings that the AG is running for SoS in AZ and President Fann can turn everything over to him, and he can simply impound and take possession of the equipment being demanded.
I’m sure Jack has nothing to hide… ?
Ah, probably didn’t win himself. Too close.
I think it’s possible that Code Monkey Z wrote his tweets about the whistleblower (hope he’s for real) AFTER the offensive letter from the BOS was delivered.

Today we learn to appear weak when we are strong.

CMZ is a DS operative
Or not.
Ronz is a grifting chump who played his Q master roll down to the hilt. If RonZ is part of the reasonable discussion, im pulling out my stakes and loading for bear.
It is true it’s hard to know the good from the bad..
With the exception of your comment TL, I’m back to no longer reading any info provided by CMZ.
I understand.
If the shoe were on the other foot, State would be doing a 2AM raid with cameras rolling.
What is the procedure to get this dirt bag fired?
Jack Sellers needs a few teeth knocked out. Preferably at night by masked assailants. That’s the ONLY THING THIS CONTEMPTOUS P.O.S. WILL UNDERSTAND.
Knees.
The chutzpah of Chairman Sellers is–in a perverse way–quite admirable.
Can anyone imagine a DC Republican making such a reply to Pelosi, an Obama judge or the media?
What a Jack Ass!
