"Don't even think of not certifying votes or breaking the law in the next election"... [View all]

"...or you will find yourself behind bars."

I would like to hear the Attorney General of the United States give a similar warning to these folks talking about not certifying the next election.

They should understand that there will be dire consequences for them if they break our election laws.

If nothing else, it would plant the seed and let the people know what's going on behind the scenes.
