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.

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."
