"SNIP.........

“The Arizona grand jury that recently indicted 18 people for their roles in former President Donald Trump’s scheme to subvert the 2020 election cast a far wider net than state prosecutors had publicly foreshadowed,” Politico reports.

“The panel of 16 Arizonans displayed unusual independence from the prosecutors supervising the investigation.”

“The grand jury took aggressive steps to haul in witnesses and even brought charges against some who had been told by prosecutors they were not under investigation.”
