Dar Leaf is also listed on the referral for a special prosecutor. For those not familiar he is a psychotic self described "constitutional sheriff" that believes himself the sole arbiter of what is legal and what is not in his county, State and Federal laws be damned. He has been claiming voter fraud from the beginning and if anyone was illegally accessing voting equipment you can bet he is at the epicenter and says it is legal because he believes himself to be the law.
I hope he gets locked up!!!!!!!!!!!

Donald Trumps claim that the 2020 election was rigged has been decisively debunked by local election officials, state and federal courts, and the former presidents own attorney general. All deemed his case bogus.
Here in Michigans rural Barry County, Sheriff Dar Leaf rejects all that.
Since late 2020, Leaf has been investigating one of Trumps most fantastical false assertions that vote-counting machines somehow flipped votes from Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. Working with key figures in the former presidents failed effort to overturn the election, the Republican sheriff has petitioned courts seeking to seize election equipment, assigned investigators to grill local clerks about balloting processes and made sweeping requests for their records. The sheriff is barreling ahead despite the conclusions of judges and the countys Republican prosecutor that he lacked probable cause.
In the process, Leaf is roiling conservative Barry County, where Trump won decisively, and testing a legal theory with revolutionary implications for American democracy.
