It was either a weird date or an appropriate date, depending on how you look at it. Bobb wrote a book – “Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024” – raising various debunked claims about the election, particularly centered on Arizona, where she went at University. “Electoral Integrity” was a bit like putting the guy who runs the Loch Ness gift shop in charge of finding the monster.
And that was before Wednesday, when Bobb was one of several Trumpworld figures indicted in Arizona on charges centered on trying to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in that state.
These new indictments targeted a number of familiar names, including other Trump lawyers like Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Jenna Ellis. It also included references to several unindicted co-conspirators, including (evidently) Trump himself and his former lawyer Kenneth Chesebro. Hours earlier, several of these same individuals were also identified as unindicted co-conspirators in a case centered on the attempt to overturn Biden’s victory in Michigan — including Trump, Giuliani and Trump’s former chief of staff , Mark Meadows.
With these new developments, there are now numerous sets of indictments in a number of states and at the federal level involving this same expanded group of figures. Including Trump’s indictments in New York (for concealing reimbursements made to silence an adult film actress before the 2016 election) and in Florida (for keeping classified documents after leaving the White House), here are what the legal landscape looks like near Donald Trump.
You will notice that a number of names appear more than once. Take Trump, for example. He was indicted four times, including twice for trying to retain the presidency. He was identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in two other cases.
Giuliani, for his part, has been indicted twice (in Arizona and Georgia) and identified twice as an unidentified co-conspirator (in connection with federal charges in Washington DC and Michigan).
In Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada, the charges focus on efforts to offer alternative voter slates before January 6, 2021. (Several of those charged in Fulton County, Georgia, were also pseudo-voters in that state ) In the Arizona and Michigan indictments, these efforts were linked (through accusations or identification of co-conspirators) to Trump allies working on the national effort.
In the table below, “IN” refers to an accused person. “UC” indicates an unindicted co-conspirator. In the federal indictment filed in Washington, a sixth unindicted co-conspirator was described but not clearly identified. The New York Times reported that it could be Boris Epshteyn.
Between these 11 individuals, there are 19 indictments above and at least 11 inclusions in the indictments as unindicted co-conspirators.
What is revealed above is something that has been widely understood for more than three years: there has been a widespread effort to keep Trump in power that has involved many of Trump’s allies in multiple locations. Little by little, this effort is being taken into account by local, state and federal officials.
It seems safe to assume that, in her new role, Christina Bobb won’t spend many Republican Party resources trying to prevent the kind of electoral subversion that she herself is accused of promoting.
