So can someone ELI5 how the AG from Missouri has jurisdiction to pursue this? If he's posting from what appears to be his official account, I'd presume he's doing this in an official capacity?
Just keep nibbling at their legitimacy. Its working and we are winning. Every ripple adds to the crescendo. The rats are under a full on assault. Judge Cannon in Florida has even turned the document case into a prosecution of Jack Smith. The big picture shows us the timing is all geared to the fall and winter. Youd have to live under a rock to miss where this all leads. Dont get lost in the weeds.
Wouldn't this set a precedent of state AGs investigating other state AGs on Federal matters?
Maybe there is the clue to my question: is there any such precedent??

The (potential) reasoning for an investigation may be hinted at in his press release:
“In order to protect the rights of all Missouri voters who plan to participate in the 2024 presidential election, the State of Missouri has the right to know to what extent the prosecutions of a prominent presidential candidate are being coordinated by the federal government, which is currently run by President Trump’s principal political opponent,” General Bailey concluded.
And to be clear, all this is an announcement of a FOIA request--not an announcement of an investigation or legal proceedings.
Considering how the NY AG is actively attacking the will of the people, and if rule of law is supreme in this land, and if the lawless actions of lands like California and NY are able to directly impact the rest of the nation to the point where California by itself is able to impose statutes on the entire rest of the country, this probably needs to happen.
Just look at how every state sells products labelled as “this product is known to cause cancer by the state of California”.
Well that label is nice, but people put it on their products just out of the law being stupid, so it’s easier to just slap the sticker on the product than it is to actually rest the product. Then California gets to shove that stupid system down everyone’s throats?
I suppose it comes to standing. Stolen election may provide the legal standing in Missouri? All the states have skin in the game on election day. Fulton county looks to be on the ropes. I'm giving him a shot

AG’s bring and defend lawsuits on behalf of the states—AG Bailey is defending our great state against a corrupt government.
His name is Andrew Bailey.

We need a way to tell them to shove it.
States don't have an interest in illegality related to Presidential Candidates ? No Standing ?
I was wondering the same thing.
