Prosecutors asked permission to file public version of brief with references to testimony from Trump’s closest aides
Donald Trump’s lawyers made a last-ditch effort on Tuesday to limit the amount of evidence that could become public that special counsel prosecutors collected during their criminal investigation into the former US president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The prosecutors last week filed under seal a brief, which may be as long as 180 pages, to presiding US district judge Tanya Chutkan that defends the viability of the charges against Trump even after the US supreme court’s presidential immunity ruling.
Simultaneously, the prosecutors asked the judge to allow them to file a public version of the secret brief with quotations and references to grand jury testimony from some of Trump’s closest aides, such as his former chief of staff, and his former vice-president, Mike Pence.
Came to these comments hoping to see some thoughts about what this evidence includes. But none. Is no one even curious??
It’s generally not a good idea to assume things of others. That’s what they often do to their rivals and it doesn’t ever work out well for them.
Speculation just dilutes the water.
Does everyone remember when he was originally saying he was totally innocent and everthing he was accused of was a democratic smear campaign?
Because ….
Innocent people don’t hide shit like this.
Duh.
Everyone knows he’s guilty. His supporters just don’t care that he did it.
The only problem is he failed.
Everyone knows he’s guilty. His supporters just don’t care that he did it.
His supporters are Conservatives. They believe that the law doesn’t apply to some people because inequality is ‘good’ and ‘natural’. And they also believe that inequality will be in their favour, even if they live precariously on or near the very bottom rung of society.
Conservatives are most often the people who would (and, increasingly, in a country which got rid of royalty, do) support something like the Divine Right of Kings to do what they want. “Because somebody has to be in charge,” they will say, while imagining the ‘wrong’ kind of people being rounded up.
Insert Wilhoit’s Law here.
For anyone who has a red line on genocide when it comes to voting, https://votepact.org/ has an amazing concept. It wants to pair up folks who feel forced to vote for Kamala with those feeling forced to vote for Trump. There’s countless reasons for not voting for either candidate, and by pairing up folks, it won’t alter the election results while still making an impact. With enough votes for third parties, Democrats and Republicans will be forced to acknowledge third party policies. It could even guarantee their spot on the ballot in the next presidential election as well as some funding. This would change the game for third parties and it will not impact the election results, truly a win-win!!!
I was gonna ask why you 3rd party shills are absent for 3.5/4 years of an election cycle, but I know why.
This is a horrible idea. There’s no guarantee that either side will vote as discussed. Leaving it open to rampant corruption as a voter engages in false discussion, then votes for one of the primary candidates.
Let those 3rd party candidates speak to the American people and present a case that nets them the votes needed.
But they pledge!
🤣
You didn’t read the webpage, ah? While the site can pair folks up as an absolute last resort, this was designed for people to make the pact with a family member or friend. But if a person has no one whose word they can trust, the site is an option, yet the pact wasn’t exactly intended for them. But for everyone else, it’s a valid and amazing idea providing a breath of fresh air.
Third parties struggle to get on most ballots, as we’ve seen time and time again this year. Without being on enough ballots, they aren’t given time on the debate stage. Meaning they struggle to reach enough voters through alternative outlets to have any chance of making changes in this dire bipartisan landscape.
Please dm me the mod-removed link.
The path to a viable third party presidential candidate has to pass through the down ballot races. If you want (for example) a future green party or libertarian president, you need a bunch of governors, senators, and representatives first.
Third parties struggle to get on presidential ballots because they are ineffectual on a national scale. They’re ineffective on a national scale because they barely exist in between presidential elections.
Expecting to change the political landscape from the top down is misguided and unrealistic.
If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to hide right.
He doesn’t care. Even with a felony conviction, he still thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.
with a felony conviction,
The validity of the court is directly related to how they fulfill his goals. In a society based on loyalty first, that’s his most important criteria.
Ergo, to him, the court and all its rulings are wrong, because they didn’t pass the ethics test of Doing What Trump Wants.
Oh, no, he definitely knows he did something wrong. He just knows that if he pushes hard enough, there’s a chance he can get away with it. Trump is a psychopath who knows that rules are only as powerful as their enforcement, and he’s been weaseling his way by them his whole life.
Trump is a psychopath
Trump is a weird, old, ruthless, malignant narcissistic psychopath - FTFY
He knows he broke the law… he doesn’t know he did something wrong…
