Meanwhile, Arizonans are footing the bill as Kari Lake turns their court system into her latest performance art venue. Lake has already been ordered to pay over $30,000 in court fees related to her lawsuit against Hobbs, but taxpayers forked out over $141,000 to fight a different single meritless case Lake filed against Maricopa County. For this one, the court was also on the hook for processing over 7,000 pages of evidence Lakes attorneys provided, none of which actually implicated Maricopa County.
Lake has turned filing frivolous election fraud claims into a full-time job. Unlike Arizonans, shes also profiting handsomely from her bogus outrage; in just shy of two months after her loss, Lake raised $2.5 million from MAGA die-hards with big promises to beat Democrats in the courts. Then she headlined an election denial speaking tour through Iowa, prompting former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis to criticized Lake for just fundraising at this point (ie grifting). Now it appears Lake is hoping to turn some of that cash toward a possible U.S. Senate campaign next year.,,,,'
That isnt sitting well with Lakes likely Democratic challenger, Rep. Ruben Gallego. Kari Lake is a shameless grifter whos raised millions of dollars by spreading lies about the 2022 election, while making Arizona taxpayers foot the bill for one frivolous court case after another, a spokesperson for Gallegos campaign told me. Arizona voters rejected election deniers like Lake in 2022, and theyll do it again in 2024 if she runs.....
Kari Lake understands politics on a Trumpian level. She knows the Republican base will forgive any sin and pay any price as long as someone, anyone, is owning the libs. Lakes knack for perpetual victimhood has made her a Trump-world celebrity and reportedly a potential vice presidential candidate. That shes spent much of 2023 picking her constituents pockets with bogus lawsuits doesnt even warrant a shrug from the Truth Social set.

(255,525 posts)Who is facing prosecution in Manhattan for hush money payments (Alvin Bragg), New York for tax evasion (Letitia James), Georgia for election interference (Fani Willis) and then there's DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith - for stealing classified documents and inciting an insurrection to overthrow the government! Do they really want to follow in his footsteps??

(319,074 posts)stupid they are.. they apparently think he's going to get back in the WH and name them his lieutenants or something.. and pardon those who need a get out of jail free card or stay out of jail card.
They'd be like a bunch of hyenas flinging shit on our WH walls.
Impressive list, Btw.. TY

(255,525 posts)January 6th, not to mention having stolen classified documents. People have gone to prison for doing much less. But the worst part of letting him roam free for so long, he's inexplicably convinced even more of the deluded that he's qualified to lead the government that he attempted to overthrow.
