An attorney for two Arizona women subpoenaed by the House Select Commission investigating the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 contends his clients are being targeted by Washington elites trying to scare average Americans into “meekness and compliance.”
Alex Kolodin of Davillier Law Group says Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino are simply retirees who decided to spend their golden years becoming more active participants in the political process. To that end, they were among the 11 Republican electors for Donald Trump listed on the ballot for the 2020 General Election.
Cottle and Pellegrino also joined the other Republican electors in signing and sending an alternate slate of 11 Arizona electors for consideration by then-Vice President Mike Pence during the Jan. 6 Joint Session of Congress. On the slate, Cottle is listed as chairperson while Pellegrino was the secretary.
Now, the women have been directed to provide documents to the congressional committee by 10 a.m. on Feb. 11, as well as participate in depositions about their “role” in the events of January 6 despite the fact they were “thousands of miles away from the Capitol” that day, according to Kolodin.
