Why doesn't Brnovich just exercise his powers DIRECTLY AND CHARGE HER? Why pass it off to someone else who could also just decide, "meh, if the AG can't be bothered to charge this I also can't be bothered to do anything about it". And notice how the penalty drops from a class 6 felony in Brnovich's letter to Hobbs, down to just the misdemeanor part when referring it?
But that isn't what happened and hence my objection. Rather than using his own criminal division's election integrity unit he DELEGATED his powers to the Cochise County attorney Brian McIntyre. This tells me he wants nothing to do with this.

AG is an executive position, pede. It gets assigned to a state prosecutor and they go to town.
