2020-BRILLIANT- Smith Made Judge Chutkans Job Easier in New TRUMP Criminal Filing
Very BRILLIANT Move Jack Smith Just Made Judge Chutkan's Job Easier
-- So Important: Ex-prosecutor flags 'money line' in Jack Smith's new Trump criminal filing
This is Simply INSANE: Questions Raised About Vetting of J.D. Vance Amid New Blow-Up
-- Shock that another damaging video of Republican Party VP candidate J.D. Vance has surfaced which will force the campaign of Donald Trump to remain on defense.
MSNRAW 4 SEP 2024
Trumps indicted on four felony counts for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election," Kirschner says. "And in that court filing, there is one sentence that holds the answer to the question
Will the American people get to learn more about Donald Trump's January 6 crimes before they have to go to the polls on November 5?'"
Kirschner highlights what he says could be the most important sentence in the filing.
"The article goes on to quote what I would call the 'money line' in this new joint court filing," he says before quoting the line:
"The Government proposes that it file an opening brief in which it will explain why the immunity set forth in Trump does not apply to the categories of allegations in the superseding indictment or additional unpled categories of evidence that the Government intends to introduce at trial and will proffer in its brief," prosecutors wrote.
That sentence, Kirschner added, "will determine" whether Americans get more information on Trump's alleged misdeeds related to the last election. He goes on to dive into the line, translating it from "legalese" and explaining what he thinks is its significance.
MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos applauded the effort special counsel Jack Smith put into going before a grand jury and getting a superseding indictment against Donald Trump related to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Cevallos explained that Smith trimmed down his charges against the former president which will make it harder for the conservative Supreme Court to intercede on his behalf.
Asked to "walk us through what happens next," Cevallos explained, "Normally a superseding indictment is something that strikes fear into the heart of a criminal attorney like me. It usually means that government has found more defendants or they've found more bad evidence and are charging more crimes. It's rare that you have a superseding indictment that reduces information."
"Ultimately the only thing I care about is the counts, and all four counts remain," he pointed out. "That means if the defendant is convicted the sentencing guidelines will be exactly the same. All Jack Smith's team has done is taken a look at the indictment and said 'What should we remove that insulates us?' And, yes, they removed references to Trump's attempts to subvert the DOJ and maybe install a new acting attorney general, but they keep in language about vice president Pence, which signals to me that Jack Smith's team is feeling very confident."
"They've kept all four counts and they're keeping in conduct and the Mike Pence conduct is significant because the Supreme Court suggested that this at least was entitled to the presumption of immunity," he added. "So Jack Smith is signaling that even conduct that may be entitled to a presumption of immunity, it is full steam ahead. They are not afraid of the district court and any possible hearing; they are going forward with these counts."
"So as much as, yes, this indictment has been, I guess, reduced in length, everything that matters is still in it," he continued. "This is a strategic, I think a very brilliant move to keep this indictment alive, to head off any problems at the pass before Judge Tanya Chutkan has to hold a hearing making, I think, her job even easier."
Trump's Admission That He "Inteferred" In The Election IS ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE At His Criminal Trial
Vetting of J.D. Vance
MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend expressed shock that another damaging video of Republican Party vice president candidate J.D. Vance has surfaced which will force the campaign of Donald Trump to remain on defense.
On Tuesday another clip of Vance attacking childless women surfaced, this one from during his run for the Senate seat he now occupies.
In the clip Vance launched a broadside at teachers who don't have children of their own, telling a crowd he thinks they are "trying to brainwash the minds of our children."
He also singled out Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, and smeared her by exclaiming, "If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone."
