Internet melts down as Trump identified as 'unindicted co-conspirator' in Arizona filing
Social media exploded on Wednesday evening after a report that 11 individuals had been charged in connection with alleged 2020 election subversion in the state of Arizona. One thing that stood out to many is the "unindicted co-conspirators" redacted from the filing.
The Guardian's Hugo Lowell reported that Arizona state prosecutors had charged "Trump aides and allies over efforts to overturn 2020 election." He added, "TRUMP is unindicted co-conspirator 1."
Former federal prosecutor Richard Signorelli said, "Why is Trump unindicted?!"

Buzz Grambo, identified as a retired Navy Chief, asked Wednesday, "Why wouldn't they charge Trump?"
Trump's own niece, Mary Trump, had this to say about the news from Arizona:
"Good. Now indict the unindicted."
"Now in Arizona: Donald Trump is, once again, an unindicted co-conspirator in an unlawful conspiracy to induce the overturning of an election by fraud," said Anthony Michael Kreis, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University College of Law.
When asked how a co-conspirator can remain unindicted, Kreis replied, "Prosecutor just chooses not to bring charges."
About Trump, @Fedoner asked, "Why was he not charged? He’s the ringleader."
An account called "Biden's Wins" said Wednesday, "BREAKING: Donald Trump has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Arizona election interference case. The criminal charges continue to pile on."
