Nessel was recruited by university regents, who were frustrated by local prosecutors’ unwillingness to crack down on most of the students arrested, to take over the case and file charges, three people with direct knowledge of the decision told the Guardian at the time.

The investigation also found that six of eight regents contributed more than $33,000 combined to Nessel’s campaigns. Additionally, her office hired a regent’s law firm to handle major state cases, and the same regent co-chaired her 2018 campaign. Meanwhile, Nessel received significant campaign donations from pro-Israel state politicians, organizations and university donors who over the last year have vocally criticized Gaza protests, records show.

    Good, but I’ve lost any small shred of respect I’ve had for the Dems in Michigan.

    I know that Dems are a dead end, but at first it seemed like they were making a few good moves. Now Whitmer is hugging trump and nessel is sending Jackbooted thugs into our neighborhoods

    I have a vacation coming up in a town on the international border soon and I’m curious to see if there’s a bigger police state than last year
