" Man threatened ‘cheating’ Arizona election officials: DOJ

Brian J. Ogstad faces 25 years in prison if convicted
The FBI in Alabama and Arizona are still investigating claims"

"An Alabama man faces up to 25 years in prison after he was arrested on Wednesday for
allegedly sending threatening Instagram messages to Arizona election officials after
claiming election fraud in the state’s 2022 gubernatorial race, federal prosecutors said."

Former Trump associate Lev Parnas, *under oath*:
|
| Written Statement of Lev Parnas, March 19, 2024
|
| To all the Honorable members of Congress, I am humbled and
| thankful to appear here before the House Oversight
| Committee today under oath, for the sole purpose of telling
| the truth. From soon after my arrest on October 9, 2019 up
| to now, I have been steadfastly attempting to share the
| irrefutable truth with you. The American people have been
| lied to, by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and various
| individuals in government and media positions, all of whom
| worked to create a web of falsehood. They did this purely
| to serve their own interests, knowing that it would
| undermine the strength of our nation.
| ...
| Please consider that the facts of what I say here have
| never changed from the moment I submitted everything to
| Congress during the first Trump impeachment in Fall 2019. I
| have never wavered from saying that there was no evidence
| of the Bidens' corruption in Ukraine - because there truly
| was none. On the contrary, by setting up a search for false
| criminality, every individual majorly involved in this plan
| was disguising their own criminal activity. That persists
| to this very day: The impeachment proceedings that bring us
| here now are predicated on a bunch of false information
| that is being spread by the Kremlin.

Clearly the Democrats and at least half the Republican caucus are fed up with the power
