Why don’t the prosecute other felonies?
Exactly criminal companies have been stealing homes from older people for over a decade in real estate scams in Washington and AG Ferguson has done NOTHING despite a decade of complaints.
Corruption can't stand competition!
I live in Washington, and this is hilarious. I would have voted for either of the 2 Bob's. Not the AG Bob. 😅
Exactly why can't they run? He has been one of the most worthless AG's in the country
I appreciate the heads up. I will make a point of not voting for Bob Ferguson, the Democrat Karen.
How is it a crime to run for office using your actual name? Is he such a snowflake that he can’t possibly share the ballot with someone else?
Bullies are snowflakes.
We need to keep our elections as clean as possible, so no one can say the election was stolen. Washington has one if not the best election systems in all of the US, because it was done by Kim Wyman. I'd love for her to run for governor, because independents like me think she is the only honest politician since Sam Reed. (Both Republicans)
You're completely ignoring that it's a criminal prank attempting to ruin a democratic election. They admitted it and gave up when they realized it was a felony. Didn't you watch the video?
@@epicfail5707 That is HAD the best election system...until the powers that be allowed AG Ferguson to threaten the other two Bob's and the Secretary of State. So now the WA state election system that you so fondly revere is forever tainted.
More garbage to not vote for.
So shoplifting, open drug use and assault are non prosecuted misdemeanors and running against him with your own name is now a felony.
So - it’s now a FELONY to use your OWN NAME if there’s a fatcat politician who has the same, very common name?
The world has become a very stupid place. I want out.
yes. the ag will go after them. nevermind the conflict of interest...
@@GR3YD3ATH They were not trying to run, they were convinced to run by a very unscrupulous man, who knowingly put both of these men in harm's way.
Only for Democrats
@@epicfail5707 I understand that is the situation here - but it establishes a dangerous precedent.
If Ferguson AG is ever elected to this state then you will see a mass exodus out of this state and I will be one of them. He is a criminal and would be worse for Washington than inslee if that is possible. Ferguson is a terrible person , a terrible DA and a terrible litigious attorney. And he is a bully on top of all of this. Satterberg is a criminal just like Ferguson.
Hysterical!
I may not agree with Bob, but I do agree with Bob. Or was it Bob? 😂
lawfare in Washington state
There is a law to prevent people from using an incumbants name during an election in washington. However Bob is not an incumbant and as long as the other 2 Bobs were intending to actually run for governor they did not violate the law.
It shows he thinks that Washington voters are too stupid to figure out the difference! If he was secure in his position he would have said may the best Bob win.....
They are too stupid. They kept voting for Inslee as the state was circling the toilet bowl.
Why are they backing out? Because a professional politician is threatening them, they cowardly run for cover? Chickens***. They committed no crime and have every right to run. The prosecutor who threatened them should be investigated by the attorney general.
It's a class B felony, actually.
@@BrandonFuller-kw3gv you're a liar. Tell me where the felony is. They used their real names. They set up a headquarters at the FedEx. You don't know what you're talking about. Are you claiming that because they have the same name that they can't run? You may not like the fact that they ran, but that has no standing.
You should do some research on what he did to Tom Emen ( I don't have his spelling correct )
@csyarid I'm just concerned with this case. Any more than that will just anger me. I have enough dealing with corrupt and immoral politicians in my own state. This story just caught my eye. The problem isn't with politicians, it's with the voters who empower them even when they know what they are. The fact that these men ran away like they did something wrong angers me more than the corrupt politician and his intimidating actions. They do harm to decent voters.
Let's see how your life looks after they threaten you with the same lawfare.
Seems scummy
Try and run against me ill put you in jail! Typical cruption
Glen Morgan, put them up to this should be charged with a felony. He knew what he was doing.
He put both these men's freedom in jeopardy.
How about we charge the drug dealers, shoplifters, urban drug users poisoning our streets....Hell, these people get released on the regular but all of a sudden Bob cares about the law?
There is no reason Bob couldn't just use their initials or specify by region which Bob is which.
This is the peak of petty politics and I'm not happy with Morgan but sending lawyers to threaten political candidates sets a ba-
Oh wait, they're doing it to a former POTUS too. Nevermind, standard Dem strategy.
@@PenTheMightyhow bout Republicans stop trying to cheat
What law did they break? You don't believe that anyone should be able to run for a public office? And what about AG Ferguson? Do you think that threatening opponents is legal?
hahahahahahahaha serves him right
Bob is the perfect candidate for a swirly!
The real Bob is a really good guy and does a lot for Washington.
That is a false statement.
😂😂😂 Does a lot for Washington...
Name one thing.
You are confused and should move to california
The real Bob has done nothing but cost Washington tax payers millions of dollars by him trying to advance his own political career!
Look it up.
It seems to me to be intimidation by the AG using the power of the state to settke a personal issue.
I think the only one who broke the law was the AG.
Why doesn’t komo news report on real shit. I guess they don’t know real journalism and how to property fill dead air time, so they have to blow up a prank like a bunch of downies
