As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.
First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Scoop: Arizona GOP insurance paid $1M for fake elector legal fees
The GOP electors falsely asserted that Donald Trump won the state's 2020 electoral votes.
This is a crazy, great scoop by @jeremyduda (with great background digging for each detail)!
(I'm guessing there'll be new shoes to drop in this, given changes in leadership since Kelli Ward apparently approved the scheme, given the ongoing nature of the case, etc.)
