PHOENIX Newly released records show the top Republicans in Arizona's largest county dodged calls from Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as the then-president sought to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory in key battleground states.
The records including voicemails and text messages shed light on another state where Trump, his attorneys and others mounted a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign on Republican officials overseeing elections. Similarly, days before Congress certified Biden's win on Jan. 6, Trump pressed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find enough votes to overturn Biden's win there.
Trump tried to reach Clint Hickman, then the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, on Jan. 3, shortly before midnight in Washington and hours after news broke of Trump's call with Raffensperger.
Hello, sir. This is the White House operator I was calling to let you know that the presidents available to take your call if youre free, the White House operator said in a voicemail. If you could please give us a call back, sir, thatd be great. You have a good evening.

And one thing we know, the entire republican party will go along with him.

How has Trump not yet been indicted or is he still being sheltered by people in the legal system? With all the shit going on in NY, tampering with election officials in Ga, and now Arizona and inciting an insurrection, something should stick.
