Arizona Attorney General’s Office: “Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that his office (AGO) determined the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) is in violation of state law for failing to comply with the Arizona Senate’s legislative subpoena related to the 2020 election audit. If MCBOS does not change course, the AGO will notify the Arizona Treasurer to withhold Maricopa County’s state-shared funds as required under the law. ‘We are notifying the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors that it must fully comply with the Senate’s subpoena as required by the law,’ said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. ‘Our courts have spoken. The rule of law must be followed.'”
“Today’s decision stems from a ‘SB 1487’ complaint filed by Senator Sonny Borrelli under A.R.S. § 41-194.01, which authorizes any legislator to request the Attorney General investigate a county or city alleged to be in violation of state law. On July 26, 2021, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann and Senator Warren Petersen (Senators) issued a subpoena to MCBOS related to the Senate’s audit of the 2020 election. The Senators requested six categories of items for production by August 2, 2021, including routers and network logs. MCBOS objected to the requested information, and to date, has not provided all of the subpoenaed materials. Moreover, in its response to the AGO, MCBOS failed to explain why it is not required to comply with the legislative subpoena. Its only response was that the Arizona Senate is not currently in session, so MCBOS could not be held in contempt. If MCBOS fails to resolve the violation within 30 days, the AGO, in accordance with state law, will notify the Arizona Treasurer to withhold state revenue from Maricopa County until MCBOS complies. More information on ‘SB 1487’ investigations can be found here.”
On November 11th, 2020 Brnovich told Fox Business “It does appear Joe Biden will win Arizona,” and there “no facts that would lead anyone to believe that the election results will change” but we guess that must’ve changed now that he wants to run for Senate against Mark Kelly in 2022 and needs to avoid incurring the Orange God Emperor’s wrath.
