Rachel Alexander, lead reporter at The Arizona Sun Times, attended the Get Trump virtual lawfare conference on Tuesday, which was hosted by the anti-globalist movement Davos in the Desert.
Alexander, who spoke at the event, said the conference was a “really exciting, up-to-date look at everything going on” in regards to lawfare targeting conservatives, including former President Donald Trump and January 6 defendants.
“I was just blown away. I had no idea. I can’t follow all the Trump trials. There’s just too many of them going on, and so for someone who can’t keep up with all of it, it’s just overwhelming learning how much corruption there is. And there are all of these other areas I haven’t even had time to delve into, like these poor J6ers who are in prison…If you want a real deep dive into what’s going on with the J6ers with, the Trump’s documents case with any of this stuff, [the conference] will just blow your mind away,” Alexander said on Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
Alexander also discussed her personal experience with lawfare against conservatives. Her law license was suspended in 2012 while she was working as a special assistant attorney for former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
In her case, Alexander said she was targeted as a result of the “low-hanging fruit strategy,” meaning if she was able to be targeted and brought down, her boss would eventually be brought down, too.
“It’s the collateral damage, low-hanging fruit strategy. Everybody’s learning this now as they go after the underlings just as hard as the big guy because if you can get the underlings to talk, to turn on their boss, and to hold them up as an example to the average American activist, saying, ‘Look, you might be just this nobody, this political appointee in a county attorney’s office, but we will destroy you.’ So in my case, they broadcasted the trial against us for two and a half months. It was on the front of The Arizona Republic every day, all the horrible stuff about us. I was toxic in Arizona for a good 10 years. Everybody thought that we were evil because we were going after judges. I had difficulty finding employment,” Alexander said.
When it comes to keeping up her “morale” while being targeted by lawfare, Alexander said she and other conservatives keep their spirits up by speaking out on the partisan attacks and raising money to defend themselves in court.
“It’s so corrupt,” Alexander said.
