Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is the Barney Fife of elected lawyers, but she lacks Fife’s decency and charm. She was laughed out of court last week — literally — by a Gov. Gretchen Whitmer-appointed judge when the charges against 15 2020 Donald Trump electors were dismissed. Nessel charged the group with forgery, fraud, and six other […]

The crime was shocking because these were suburban girls motivated to kill by basically nothing. A […]
Democrats have routinely championed themselves as advocates of Ukraine, women, refugees, immigrants, and female victims of male violence. Given this activism, one would think an incident that checked all these boxes would have the utmost support from Democrats.
