Whatever you say you absolute faggot.
That dude was sketch AF and did not play both sides well.
Yes — based on news reports and newly released internal documents, then-Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich 'did' withhold or 'gatekeep' information from the public about the 2020 election fraud investigations his office conducted. Here’s what is documented:
What Happened
1. His office investigated election fraud claims.
Brnovich’s team spent 'thousands of hours' and more than 10,000 staff hours investigating alleged irregularities in the 2020 election, including claims pushed by outside groups and some Republican lawmakers. ([AZPM][1])
2. Investigators concluded there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
Internal reports and memos prepared by his investigators — including a 'September 2022 “Election Review Summary”' — found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, vote manipulation, or coordinated fraud in Arizona’s 2020 election. In many individual allegations (like claims about deceased people voting), investigators found those claims were inaccurate or unsupported. ([AZPM][1])
3. Brnovich 'did not publicly release' those findings at the time.
Despite these internal conclusions, Brnovich 'never made the full reports public' before leaving office. Instead he released a more limited “interim report” that was interpreted by some as suggesting 'vulnerabilities' without clearly debunking fraud claims, and he publicly emphasized certain procedural concerns. Meanwhile, the 'March 2022 summary' and the 'September memo' showing most allegations were unfounded were withheld. ([AZPM][1])
4. His successor released the previously unreleased documents.
After Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes took office in early 2023, she released the internal documents showing the findings that Brnovich’s office had concluded there was no credible evidence supporting major fraud claims. Mayes and others have criticized Brnovich for not releasing that material earlier, saying Arizona voters and election officials had a right to see it. ([Arizona Mirror][2])
# So “gatekeeping” in this context means:
Brnovich 'knew' (through his office’s investigations) that widespread fraud claims lacked evidence, 'but he did not share those conclusions publicly while in office', even as political pressure mounted around alleged election fraud. Critics have interpreted this as withholding important factual information. ([AZPM][1])
# Additional Context
' Some Republican figures (including Trump allies) were pushing allegations of fraud; Brnovich did investigate those claims but they weren’t substantiated. ([AZPM][1])
' He faced political pressure (e.g., from Trump and within the GOP primary) over how aggressively to pursue such claims while running for Senate. ([AZPM][1])
' After the documents came out, there were public calls for ethics reviews and bar complaints related to how he handled the released and unreleased material. ([Fox News][3])
# Bottom Line
Yes — he effectively “gatekept” election fraud evidence in the sense that he did not release internal findings that his own investigators had concluded did not support claims of widespread fraud. Those findings were released later by his successor, showing that most allegations lacked credible evidence. ([Arizona Mirror][2])
If you’d like, I can also summarize exactly 'what kinds' of allegations were investigated and found to be baseless (e.g., dead voters, duplicate ballots, machines connected to the internet).
