Arizona Superior Court Judge Bruce Cohen has set a trial date for January 5, 2026, in a case that has the left practically swooning with delight—the so-called “fake electors” scandal involving several prominent figures linked to former President Donald Trump. In what can only be described as a politically motivated witch hunt, the trial will focus on an assortment of Trump loyalists, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the ever-colorful Rudy Giuliani, and Trump attorney Boris Epshteyn.
The core of the prosecution’s claims revolves around the assertion that these individuals submitted the names of “fake” electors in a desperate bid to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election. As it happens, President Joe Biden emerged victorious in Arizona by a mere 10,457 votes, which has apparently set off a panic among Democrats and leftist prosecutors who seem intent on punishing anyone associated with the past administration. In a puzzling twist of logic, they are now connecting Trump to this case as an “unindicted coconspirator,” despite his not facing any direct charges himself. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

The courtroom drama in Phoenix has already included what should have been a straightforward – if not already tired – attempt to dismiss the case. Unsurprisingly, the judge hasn’t yet delivered a ruling on these requests, perhaps giving the impression he’s enjoying the theater just as much as the public. Meanwhile, an attorney for one of the alleged “fake electors” has argued that his client only signed documents that had been supposedly vetted by legal experts in the Trump administration, and was given assurance from state party chair Kelli Ward that he was a “duly qualified elector.” The idea that someone is being charged for trusting legal advice is a fitting testament to how far the left is willing to go in their crusade against Trump supporters.
In a side note that only adds to the drama, one of Trump’s former legal advisors, Jenna Ellis, has accepted a plea deal in this case while others maintain their innocence against charges of fraud, forgery, and conspiracy. The implication here is crystal clear: if you don’t join the anti-Trump bandwagon, expect the relentless hammer of the legal system to come crashing down. But for all their efforts, one has to wonder if these legal battles will have a significant impact on Trump’s base, which continues to grow in loyalty and fervor.
In essence, this trial seems less about justice and more about making a statement—the kind that aims to intimidate future supporters of conservative values and the Trump legacy. With the 2024 election cycle looming, it’s clear that the left is ready to launch every last one of its arrows, no matter how ridiculous. As more Americans begin to see the absurdity of such cases, one can only hope they remember this farce when they head to the polls next.
