Yesterday, after President Trump was indicted Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford issued numerous statements on his official Twitter page including

Today’s indictment of former President Trump is a necessary step toward ensuring nobody – former presidents included – is above the law.

And then this one

“We have seen Trump attempt to stoke a backlash against this indictment in a manner that alarmingly resembles the public statements he made in the leadup to the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.”

Ford then wade in on the validity of charges with this statement:

“We must push back on any notion that this indictment is political. This is a bad faith argument meant to distract from the hard work done by law enforcement in uncovering evidence and securing this indictment.“

He then call for calm:

I do believe the American people see past the former president’s statements, but I want to urge calm in the aftermath of today’s events. The legal process must take its course. I, like many Americans, will be watching closely.

We can thank Chuck Muth for losing Sigal’s race to this guy. This should have been an easy pickup last year.
