Well, again, the premise of the question is incorrect because the full context of the quote was asked about DAs that wouldn't prosecute certain crimes. And We have a couple statutes on the books right now, election fraud and state ethics codes that actually allow a district attorney to prosecute in an adjoining county if the DA of that county refuses to prosecute. So I use it as an analogy to say our attorney general should have authority if a DA is refusing to prosecute. And that would be another option. (32:02–32:14)

CLAIM

Asserts that current statutes allow DAs to prosecute in adjoining counties for election fraud and state ethics code violations.
