Donald Trump’s lawyer Christina Bobb has taken the fight straight to Arizona’s attorney general by filing a formal notice seeking Kris Mayes’ disqualification from the “fake electors” prosecution. The notice, filed with the court on June 4, 2025, accuses Mayes and her office of improper coordination with outside liberal groups and demands the state step back from prosecuting a case that has become a national spectacle. Conservative Americans should pay attention — this isn’t just another legal maneuver, it’s a test of whether state power will be used as a political cudgel.
Bobb’s motion points to a startling web of relationships: a retainer agreement between the Arizona Attorney General’s Office and the States United Democracy Center, and large transfers from the Democratic Attorneys General Association to Mayes’ legal fund shortly after that arrangement. The motion alleges that States United drafted memos and strategy documents — including a July 25, 2023 “Arizona False Electors Scheme” memo — that effectively created the blueprint for the prosecution, raising a plain appearance of impropriety. If true, this is the kind of behind-the-scenes influence peddling that corrodes public trust and makes a mockery of prosecutorial neutrality.
Let’s be clear: conservatives aren’t arguing that no one should be investigated or prosecuted when laws are broken. We insist on equal application of the law, not selective lawfare. Yet when an elected attorney general appears to outsource prosecutorial decisions to partisan nonprofits and then receives hundreds of thousands in political donations, everyday Americans have every right to suspect political motivations. This is precisely the sort of entanglement that has Democrats cheering when their allies are targeted and crying foul when the tables are turned.
Christina Bobb is not a fringe figure here — she is one of the 18 people named in the indictment that Mayes’ office publicly released in May 2024, a document that lists alleged fraud, forgery and conspiracy charges tied to the 2020 post-election activities. Those indictments were major news and set off a nationwide debate about accountability, due process, and the proper role of state prosecutors in politically charged disputes. Conservatives should insist that the rule of law be followed, not bent to create headlines or settle political scores.
The prosecution itself has already hit procedural obstacles: on May 19, 2025, a judge ordered the case back to a grand jury after finding prosecutors failed to present the grand jury with key statutory text that the defense says was central to their case. That judicial rebuke is a reminder that judges are watching for fair process, and it gives the defense real leverage to press for Mayes’ removal if the appearance of bias can be established. If prosecutors can’t get these basics right, how can Arizonans trust their motives?
This controversy is emblematic of a larger, dangerous trend: partisan activists and well-funded left-wing groups operating like shadow attorneys general, steering prosecutions and bankrolling political actors. Americans who work hard, pay taxes, and obey the law deserve prosecutors who answer to voters, not to outside political machines. If Mayes truly allowed her office to be shaped by outside political operatives, disqualification is not only appropriate — it’s necessary to restore confidence in justice.
The courts should move swiftly to examine Bobb’s filings and the evidence the defense has produced; delay or obfuscation only lets the appearance of political persecution harden into reality. Patriots who believe in constitutional government must demand transparency, accountability, and even-handed justice — and we should be loud about it. If our legal system becomes a tool for settling political scores, then no American is safe from the next politically motivated indictment.
