Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich turns a blind eye to fake Trump electors

Arizona’s phony document is signed by Dr. Kelli Ward, Dr. Michael Ward, Greg Safsten, Samuel I. Moorehead, Robert Montgomery, James Lamon, Jake Hoffman, Tyler Bowyer, Loraine B. Pellegrino and Nancy Cottle.

Kelli Ward is the state Republican Party chair.

Hoffman is a Republican state representative.

Lamon is a Republican running for U.S. Senate.

Brnovich also is a Republican running for U.S. Senate.

50 Republican senators, not just Sinema and Manchin, killed democracy
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema really should become an independent now
Think voter suppression is a myth? This GOP bill proves otherwise

There is no doubt – none – that if the phony electors had been Democrats, Brnovich would be sprinting to the nearest courthouse in order to honor his oath and perform his prosecutorial duties.

But he is not.

That is why Brnovich is no longer Arizona’s attorney general.

The last line of your OP says he is no longer AG, so turning a “blind eye” would only matter perhaps politically, not legally.
