This afternoon, Michigan Attorney Kevin Kijewski, who is representing Cliff Frost, one of the 15 Republican alternate electors in the 2020 election, announced the filing of a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court in the case of Frost v. Nessel. The case against Michigan’s politically motivated Attorney General, Dana Nessel, challenges her two-year lawfare criminal case against her client and 14 other electors. In his lawsuit, Kijewski argues the lawsuit against the alternate electors “exemplifies the weaponization of government by current Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.”
In his press release today, Kijewski mentioned a video of Nessel who attended a private Zoom call with a leftist group that was released several months ago.
In the video below, Michigan AG Nessel told a far-left group that it’s challenging to get the electors to flip on each other because, “They legit believe that President Trump won the 2020 election.” The premise of her case against the 16 (mostly senior citizens) electors is that they knew President Trump was not the winner of the 2020 election, yet they cast their electoral votes for him anyhow. The truth is, the electors cast their votes for President Trump in Michigan and other hotly contested states because they needed to protect the electoral votes in the event that enough election fraud was proven to flip the states for Trump. Had they not cast the alternate slate of electoral votes, no votes from that state would have been given to Trump.

Kijewski, who is running to succeed Michigan’s crooked Attorney General Dana Nessel, who will be term-limited, tweeted about the case he filed in the U.S. Supreme Court and the reckless statement made by Nessel.
Today, as counsel for Clifford Frost & candidate for MI AG, I’m proud to announce that we filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in Frost v. Nessel to end MI AG Dana Nessel’s weaponization of our government: prosecuting Republican alternate electors on bogus forgery charges despite the MI AG admitting on video they lack specific criminal intent shopping the case to prosecutors/DOJ who all declined to act, and then pursuing it years later as revenge and political lawfare. As Michigan’s next AG, I’ll stop this abuse of the legal system.

Of the 16 electors, 14 are responsible for paying for their own defense in the fake criminal cases against them. If MI AG Dana Nessel is successful at convicting them for all 8 felonies, they could spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

In his suit, Kijewski lays out the origins of Nessel’s witch hunt:
A state attorney general shopped around a highly political case to a county prosecutor and the U.S.Department of Justice. They declined to prosecute, and the county prosecutor’s office issued an opinion that the facts alleged did not amount to a crime. The attorney general persisted and brought the charges directly from her own office, using charging documents that alleged facts which, if taken as true, do not constitute a crime.
Kijewski is asking the Supreme Court to review a key question: Does the “bad faith” exception to Younger abstention – allowing federal courts to stop state prosecutions – require proof of multiple prosecutions, or can a single bad-faith case suffice? Lower courts dismissed Frost’s federal suit, citing Younger v. Harris, but the petition argues this prosecution was brought without reasonable expectation of a valid conviction, violating Frost’s Fourteenth Amendment rights and constituting political retaliation against Nessel’s opponents.
Kevin Kijewski is currently running to succeed Dana Nessel as Michigan’s next attorney general.
From today’s press release by Kijewski:
The case arises from forgery felony charges filed against the Republican electors for signing a certificate purporting to cast Michigan’s electoral votes for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Despite Nessel’s allegations, the petition asserts that the certificate was a legal nullity under state and federal law, lacking Governor Whitmer’s certification and seal, and could never have altered the election outcome. Federal statutes like 3 U.S.C. §§ 5, 6, and 15 made Whitmer’s certification of Democratic electors “conclusive,” rendering the Republican document ineffective and non-criminal.
“As Michigan’s next Attorney General, I will end the constant abuse of power we’ve seen under Dana Nessel, who shopped this case to prosecutors and the DOJ – both of whom declined – before pursuing it herself years later,” said Kijewski. “This isn’t justice; it’s lawfare and simply a bad faith prosecution given Nessel’s own words. The Supreme Court must clarify that one politically motivated prosecution is one too many, protecting all Michiganders from government weaponization.”
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court’s abstention, but the petition highlights a circuit split and urges review to safeguard constitutional rights. If granted, it could halt the Michigan proceedings and set precedent against bad-faith prosecutions.
