2020 Election FRAUD-'They Could Have Killed Me'-Trumped-up Plot Gone Haywire
‘They Could Have Killed Me’: Spycraft, Ballots and a Trumped-Up Plot Gone Haywire
The scene is straight from a discount bin spy novel. MSN 20 JUN 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...=152&s=66&d=66 Michael Flynn (center) leaves a rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., with Geoffrey Flohr A black SUV arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to collect Sabrina Keliikoa, a QAnon adherent and supervisor at the facility’s FedEx air freight terminal. Keliikoa was scared out of her wits. She did not want to go. But late on this Friday night in early December 2020, Keliikoa felt as if she had no choice: A retired Michigan State Police officer nicknamed “Yoda” had just warned that her life was in danger. Keliikoa called in another employee to finish her shift. She entered the vehicle driven by a Marine Corps veteran who had provided security for American diplomats in Iraq. They arrived at a hotel where the driver checked her in. There, Keliikoa stayed for the next two days. A rotating set of “guards” occupied the adjacent room in shifts. What Was Happening Here? As Keliikoa would later testify in legal deposition, a video of which Raw Story recently reviewed, a man entered her hotel room and asked her to write an affidavit about election ballots she’d seen — and considered suspicious — at the FedEx facility shortly after the 2020 election. The man was part of a secretive team of Donald Trump supporters, operating without legal authority but under the leadership of former Trump national security adviser and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, that aimed to obtain information they believed could be used in lawsuits to change the outcome of the election in Trump’s favor. More generally, they hoped to undermine public confidence that Joe Biden had won the 2020 election. Keliikoa described the experience as being “detained” and complained she became a “pawn” of people determined to use her. “So, I got a phone call that said somebody is coming in from another state with illegal ballots, and they were going to be looking for me, and they were going to try to kill me,” Keliikoa testified. “And I started crying because this turned into the biggest s---show when it shouldn’t have been.” The escapade showcases the absurd lengths Flynn and his team went to concoct evidence that Trump had the 2020 presidential election “stolen” from him. These and other baseless allegations of election fraud would instill fury in Trump’s supporters, who by the thousands attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while attempting to prevent Congress from certifying the election. These new revelations about Keliikoa’s ordeal also come at a time when Trump, who is expected to again be the Republican nominee for president, relentlessly claims that the multiple criminal prosecutions against him constitute an effort “to rig the presidential election of 2024.” And if history is a guide, high-profile Trump surrogates can again be expected to again chase phantom evidence and spin wild tales in service of Trump’s I-can’t-lose approach to campaigning. ‘A Plane FULL of Ballots’ Until now, Keliikoa — the woman who held the information so feverishly sought by Trump’s supporters following the 2020 election — was known only as “the Seattle whistleblower.” Keliikoa’s deposition, taken in March, fills in details about the “stop the steal” escapade and are being reported for the first time by Raw Story. The seeds of Keliikoa's ordeal began germinating in November 2020. An array of high-profile Trump supporters had initiated a frenzied effort to collect affidavits that they hoped would bolster claims of election fraud, which pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell detailed in a series of lawsuits. The goal: overturn the presidential election results in tightly contested states such as Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, and more generally, to undermine confidence in the election. With his charisma and the respect he commanded as a retired lieutenant general, Michael Flynn, who had briefly served as Trump's national security advisor, quickly emerged as a de facto leader among the group of “stop the steal” operatives surrounding Powell. The 2020 election was “the greatest fraud that our country has ever experienced in our history,” Flynn told far-right broadcaster Brannon Howse during an interview aired on Nov. 28, 2020. “I’m right in the middle of it right now, and I will tell you that, first of all, the president has clear paths to victory.” https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...C172%2C0%2C172 Flynn had reason to feel emboldened. Three days earlier, then-President Trump granted Flynn a full pardon, wiping away his guilty plea to charges of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. MORE: TRUMP Attorneys Plead in NEW Indictment TRUMP legal advisers Jenna Ellis and Boris Epshteyn plead not guilty in Arizona 'fake electors' case All 18 defendants in the state case have pleaded not guilty to forgery, fraud and conspiracy charges. MSNRAW 20 JUN 2024 https://badlandsmedia.tv/wp-content/.../IMG_0180.jpeg PHOENIX — Jenna Ellis, an attorney for Donald Trump during his 2020 presidential campaign, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in the “fake electors” case in Arizona, where she and 17 other defendants face forgery, fraud and conspiracy charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. All 18 of those charged have pleaded not guilty in Arizona. Ellis in 2023 pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case in which Trump was also charged. Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn and Jim Lamon, a 2022 Republican Senate candidate, also appeared virtually in court Tuesday for their arraignments in the case, pleading not guilty. Epshteyn was an attorney and adviser to the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns and recently appeared with Trump in court in New York during the former president’s hush money trial. Lamon was on Trump’s slate of potential electors leading into the 2020 election. RELATED: New Secret Audio: Trump World is armed with ‘lawyers, judges, technology’ to challenge 2024 election |
2020 Election-Judge Dismisses Fake Electors Charges Against TRUMP Pals in Nevada
Judge Dismisses Fake Electors Charges Against TRUMP Allies in Nevada
Six Republicans accused of submitting certificates to Congress falsely declaring Trump the winner in 2020 The Guardian 24 JUN 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/32fae...0&dpr=1&s=none A Nevada state court judge dismissed a criminal indictment on Friday against six Republicans accused of submitting certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the state’s 2020 presidential election, potentially killing the case with a ruling that state prosecutors chose the wrong venue to file the case. Nevada’s attorney general, Aaron Ford, stood in a Las Vegas courtroom a moment after the Clark county district court judge Mary Kay Holthus delivered her ruling, declaring that he would take the case directly to the state supreme court. “The judge got it wrong and we’ll be appealing immediately,” Ford told reporters afterwards. He declined any additional comment. Defense attorneys bluntly declared the case dead, saying that to bring the case now to another grand jury in another venue such as Nevada’s capital, Carson City, would violate a three-year statute of limitations on filing charges that expired in December. “They’re done,” said Margaret McLetchie, attorney for the Clark county Republican party chairman, Jesse Law, one of the defendants in the case. The judge called off the trial, which had been scheduled for next January, for defendants that included the state GOP chairman, Michael McDonald; national party committee member Jim DeGraffenreid; national and Douglas county committee member Shawn Meehan; and Eileen Rice, a party member from the Lake Tahoe area. Each was charged with offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument, felonies that carry penalties of up to four or five years in prison. Defense attorneys contended that Ford improperly brought the case in Las Vegas instead of Carson City or Reno, northern Nevada cities closer to where the alleged crime occurred. They also accused prosecutors of failing to present to the grand jury evidence that would have exonerated their clients, and said their clients had no intent to commit a crime. All but Meehan have been named by the state party as Nevada delegates to the 2024 Republican national convention next month in Milwaukee. Meehan’s defense attorney, Sigal Chattah, said her client “chose not to” seek the position. Chattah ran as a Republican in 2022 for state attorney general and lost to Ford, a Democrat, by just under 8% of the vote. After the court hearing, Hindle’s attorney, Brian Hardy, declined to comment on calls that his client has faced from advocacy groups that say he should resign from his elected position as overseer of elections in northern Nevada’s Story county, a jurisdiction with a few more than 4,100 residents. Those calls included ones at a news conference on Friday outside the courthouse by leaders of three organizations. Nevada is one of seven presidential battleground states where slates of fake electors falsely certified that Trump had won in 2020, not Democrat Joe Biden. Others are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Criminal charges have been brought in Michigan, Georgia and Arizona. Trump lost Nevada in 2020 by more than 30,000 votes to Biden and the state’s Democratic electors certified the results in the presence of Nevada’s secretary of state, Barbara Cegavske, a Republican. Her defense of the results as reliable and accurate led the state GOP to censure her, but Cegavske later conducted an investigation that found no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state. |
Re: 2020 Election-Judge Dismisses Fake Electors Charges Against TRUMP Pals in Nevada
TRUMP Co-Defendants’ Attorney Sues Fani Willis, DA’s Office
Judge gives Trump RICO case co-defendant another opportunity to sue Fani Willis in her official capacity for allegedly violating Georgia open records laws MSNRAW 27 JUN 2024 https://am21.mediaite.com/lc/cnt/upl...719045089.jpeg A Tuesday morning hearing related to the Georgia election interference and racketeering (RICO) case against Donald Trump and others ended with a judge giving the defendants another chance to further frustrate the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. In a lawsuit filed earlier this year, attorney Ashleigh Merchant accused the office of violating the Georgia Open Records Act by failing to provide documents related to the employment of Nathan Wade. Wade is the former special assistant district attorney who was infamously forced to resign from the high-profile RICO prosecution due to his onetime romantic relationship with DA Fani Willis. Precipitating that resignation was a demand from the judge overseeing the case: either Wade or Willis had to go. In response to the lawsuit — which is essentially a sideline skirmish in the now much broader effort to have the indictment dismissed and/or Willis removed at the appellate court level — the DA’s office says the wrong party was sued. And, they argue, in any event the relevant, requested records have already been supplied or don’t exist. The heart of the dispute is that the lawsuit, filed on behalf of former Trump 2020 staffer Michael Roman, originally named the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office as the organizational defendant that allegedly violated the open records law. Later, the plaintiffs sought to add Fulton County itself as a named defendant as well. In their motion to dismiss, the DA’s office said the plaintiffs sued the wrong entity. In a separate motion to dismiss, the county writ large said they could not be added to the lawsuit because they are not the custodian of records for the DA’s office. In sum, Fulton County put up a combined front that would ultimately leave the plaintiffs high and dry when seeking to enforce the Peach State’s open records law against the elected district attorney. While seemingly circular, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachel noted the technical distinction undergirding that line of thought. “The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is not a formal entity,” the court observed. “It’s not a municipal body. It’s not an incorporated entity. It’s just a name that we’ve given — I mean. If you were to sue a lot of the entities that are subject to the Open Records Act for some other violation, it would be: you’d be suing the sheriff, or the DA, or the governor.” John Merchant, arguing on behalf of his and his wife’s eponymous law firm, appeared receptive to how the court phrased the issue. “We certainly can amend the complaint to add the district attorney individually and in her official capacity,” he said. “If that solves the issue, then we’re happy to do that. If this really is just a nomenclature issue and we just have the wrong party name, we can save everybody a lot of time.” More Law&Crime coverage: ‘DA Willis disqualified herself’: Trump opening brief says appeals court must remove ‘unethical’ Fulton County prosecutor from RICO case and dismiss indictment entirely Merchant went on to say that Willis was not originally named in the complaint because the plaintiff did not have any reason to believe that the DA herself would respond to open records requests or even have any input in responding to such requests. Later, however, Sandy Monroe, representing the DA’s office, decided to push the government’s threadbare advantage a bit further. She said the DA’s office never viewed the lawsuit as proper, but, rather as “the abuse of litigation” intended to “pursue the harassment” of the DA’s office and “to further fish through business records.” On another occasion, the government attorney appeared to suggest the open records law might not apply to a sitting district attorney at all — but stressed that such offices have a “civic duty” to “make sure that there is a public transparency as to how they are operating.” In the end, Krause more or less split the difference. The court declined to deny or grant the government’s motions to dismiss. Instead, she gave the plaintiffs 20 days to add another party to be named as the appropriate defendant in the case. Following that, Fulton County, the DA’s office, and/or the DA herself would have another 20 days to file a follow-up motion. Then, the plaintiffs would have another 20 days to respond. |
2020 Election- Giuliani Officially Disbarred For Trump Election Interference
Rudy Giuliani Officially Disbarred in New York For Trump Election Interference Efforts
Giuliani lost his law license — but not his honorary degrees from five universities AP 6 JUL 2024 https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/...,w_1480,c_fill The New York state Supreme Court on Tuesday disbarred former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani over his part in Donald Trump’s election interference efforts in 2020. The long-expected disbarment of Trump’s most high-profile lawyer, which is effective immediately, is a major blow to the former public official at a time he faces fallout for spreading lies about the 2020 election. In addition to losing his law license – which is likely to be recognized across the country – Giuliani is in bankruptcy after landing $150 million in debt for defaming two election workers, and faces several other lawsuits against him as well as criminal charges. “The seriousness of (Giuliani’s) misconduct cannot be overstated,” the court wrote. “(Giuliani) flagrantly misused his prominent position as the personal attorney for former President Trump and his campaign, through which (he) repeatedly and intentionally made false statements, some of which were perjurious, to the federal court, state lawmakers, the public, the (Attorney Grievance Committee), and this Court concerning the 2020 Presidential election, in which he baselessly attacked and undermined the integrity of this country’s electoral process.” Giuliani, the court said, “not only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant.” Giuliani previously was suspended from being able to practice law while the New York court considered attorney discipline proceedings against him. In its ruling, the court cited the former Trump attorney’s efforts to overturn the election results in several 2020 battleground states. On X, Giuliani said he was “not surprised” by the ruling and blasted what he said was a corrupt system. A spokesman for Giuliani also condemned the disbarment, which had gone through several proceedings before the court’s final decision on Tuesday. “Members of the legal community who respect the rule of law in this country should immediately come forward and speak out against this politically and ideologically corrupted decision. We will be appealing this objectively flawed decision in hopes that the appellate process will restore integrity into our system of justice,” spokesman Ted Goodman said in a statement. |
2020 FRAUD-TRUMP Plans to BLOCK Hearings-Jack Smith Takes Case to Supreme Court
TRUMP Plans to BLOCK Hearings in January 6 Case Before 2024 Election
Special Counsel Jack Smith Calls Trumps' Bluff, Takes Jan. 6 Case to Supreme Court Ex-president prepares to shut down possibility of high-profile officials testifying at evidentiary hearings The Guardian 10 JUL 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/6cf9a...0&dpr=1&s=none Donald Trump is expected to launch a new legal battle to suppress any damaging evidence from his 2020 election-subversion case from becoming public before the 2024 election, preparing to shut down the potency of any “mini-trials” where high-profile officials could testify against him. The plans come after the US supreme court last week in its ruling that broadly conferred immunity on former presidents opened the door for the US district judge Tanya Chutkan to hold evidentiary hearings – potentially with witnesses – to determine what acts in the indictment can survive. In the coming months, Trump’s lawyers are expected to argue that the judge can decide whether the conduct is immune based on legal arguments alone, negating the need for witnesses or multiple evidentiary hearings, people familiar with the deliberations said. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/61fbc...0&dpr=1&s=none If prosecutors with the special counsel Jack Smith press for witnesses such as former vice-president Mike Pence or White House officials to testify, Trump’s lawyers are expected to launch a flurry of executive privilege and other measures to block their appearances, the people said. The plans, which have not been previously reported, are aimed at having the triple effect of burying damaging testimony, making it harder for prosecutors to overcome the presumptive immunity for official acts, and injecting new delay into the case through protracted legal fights. Trump has already been enormously successful in delaying his criminal cases, including by succeeding in having the supreme court from taking the immunity appeal in the 2020 election subversion case in Washington, which was frozen while the court considered the matter. The delay strategy thus far has been aimed at pushing the cases until after the November election, in the hope that Trump would be re-elected and then appoint as attorney general a loyalist who would drop the charges. But now, even if Trump loses, his lawyers have coalesced on a legal strategy that could take months to resolve depending on how prosecutors choose to approach evidentiary hearings, adding to additional months of anticipated appeals over what Chutkan determines are official acts. A Trump spokesperson declined to comment on the legal strategy but claimed in a statement: “The entire January 6th case has always been just a desperate, un-constitutional attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election. The only thing imploding faster than the Biden campaign is Deranged Jack Smith’s partisan hoaxes.” Trump’s lawyers are not expected to make any moves until the start of August, the people said, when the case is finally returned to the jurisdiction of Chutkan after the conclusion of the supreme court’s 25-day waiting period and a further week for the judgement to formally be sent down. Once Chutkan regains control of the case, lawyers for Trump and for the special counsel have suggested privately that they think she will quickly rule on a number of motions that were briefed before the case was frozen when Trump filed his immunity appeal with the supreme court. That could include Trump’s pending motion to compel more discovery materials from prosecutors. If Chutkan grants the motion, Trump’s lawyers would insist on time to review the new materials before they started sorting through what acts in the indictment were immune, the people said. In the supreme court’s ruling on immunity, the justices laid out three categories for protection: core presidential functions that carry absolute immunity, official acts of the presidency that carry presumptive immunity, and unofficial acts that carry no immunity. Trump’s lawyers are expected to argue the maximalist position that they considered all of the charged conduct was Trump acting in his official capacity as president and therefore presumptively immune – and incumbent on prosecutors to prove otherwise, the people said. And Trump’s lawyers are expected to suggest that even though the supreme court contemplated evidentiary hearings to sort through the conduct, they are not necessary, and any disputes can be resolved purely on legal arguments, the people said. In doing so, Trump will try to foreclose witness testimony that could be politically damaging because it would cause evidence about his efforts to subvert the 2020 election that has polled poorly to be suppressed, and legally damaging because it could cause Chutkan to rule against Trump. Trump’s lawyers have privately suggested they expect at least some evidentiary hearings to take place, but they are also intent on challenging testimony from people like former vice president Mike Pence and other high-profile White House officials. For instance, if prosecutors try to call Pence or his chief of staff Marc Short to testify about meetings where Trump discussed stopping the January 6 certification, Trump would try to block that testimony by asserting executive privilege, and having Pence assert the speech or debate clause protection. Trump’s lawyers would argue to Chutkan that any privilege rulings during the investigation that forced them to testify to the grand jury were not binding and the factual record needed to be decided afresh. Meanwhile, witnesses such as former Trump lawyer John Eastman or former Trump campaign official Mike Roman would almost certainly be precluded from testifying because they have valid fifth amendment concerns of self-incrimination, as they have been separately charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Fulton county, Georgia. |

TRUMPs' Jan. 6 Case Officially Back in Judge Chutkans’ Hands After Immunity Ruling - CORRUPT Judge Cannon Cant Help Him Now AP 3 AUG 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...05&s=653&d=301 Trumps federal election subversion charges officially returned to his trial judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday to determine the case’s future after the Supreme Court last month carved out immunity for former presidents. Trump’s immunity claims froze the case for months, but U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is now poised to set a schedule and announce next steps. Washington — U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has once again taken control over the 2020 election-related prosecution against Donald Trump and could soon lay out how the case will move forward in the coming weeks. The case was sent back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts they took while in office. The three-judge panel at the appeals court level — which previously found that Trump could not be shielded from criminal charges — issued a brief, unsigned order sending the matter back to the district court on Friday. "It is ordered, on the court's own motion, that this case be remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion," the D.C. Circuit said Chutkan Takes The Reins... https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...=768&h=512&m=6 Chutkan is now expected to interpret and apply the Supreme Court's ruling. She will have to decide which alleged conduct described in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of the former president is "official" in nature and which could be the subject of criminal prosecution. Smith charged Trump about a year ago with four counts tied to his conduct after the 2020 presidential election, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Prosecutors alleged the former president worked to subvert the peaceful transfer of power through a pressure campaign at the state and federal level that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges. He denied wrongdoing and claimed the prosecution was politically motivated. While concluding that former presidents have legal protections from charges for alleged acts that fell within their official duties, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's claims that he is entitled to sweeping, absolute immunity unless impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. https://compote.slate.com/images/b8c...4160%2Cx0%2Cy0 CORRUPT Judge Cannon FAILED; Trumps' plan to use Judge Cannon to block Judge Chutkan and avoid trial |
2020 FRAUD-TRUMP Breaks Bail -Judge Chutkan Moves FAST on Dismissal Motion
TRUMP Accused of Breaking Terms of His Bail by Attacking Witnesses at Rally in Georgia
Judge Chutkan Moves at Light Speed, Denies TRUMPs Motion To Dismiss DC Election Interference Case Donald Trump on Saturday spent much of his Georgia rally attacking the state's Republican governor and other local GOP officials, leading some to say the former president violated his bail. MSNRAW 5 AUG 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...05&s=191&d=191 Judge Chutkan Denies TRUMPs Motion To Dismiss DC Election Interference Case.. Judge Denies Trump Motion to Dismiss DC Case Over Selective Prosecution https://media.salon.com/2017/08/trump-shark.jpg A federal judge declined Saturday to toss out former President Trump’s federal election subversion case over his assertion that he’s being unfairly and singularly prosecuted. In a 16-page order, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote that, at the outset of the trial process, the court must assume the allegations against Trump are truthful — and the “improper reframing of the allegations against him” he has presented so far cannot support dismissal. “At this stage, the court cannot accept Defendant’s alternate narrative,” Judge Chutkan wrote. The case was put back in Chutkan’s hands just Friday after a federal appeals court remanded the matter to the trial court shortly after the case was returned from the Supreme Court following its 6-3 decision last month granting former presidents at least presumptive immunity for official acts. That ruling likely doomed some allegations against Trump in the four-count indictment accusing him of conspiring to subvert the 2020 presidential election results. He has pleaded not guilty. Trump’s motion arguing that the prosecution is selective and vindictive was filed in October and echoed many of his oft-repeated lines from the campaign trail, including that he was only raising questions about the 2020 election and cannot be blamed for the subsequent storming of the building by his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. Because the Government has not charged President Trump with responsibility for the actions at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, allegations related to these actions are not relevant and are prejudicial and inflammatory,” the former president’s attorneys wrote in the October filing. “Therefore, the Court should strike these allegations from the Indictment.” Trump also pointed the finger at President Biden, his chief political opponent at the time, and claimed that the charges against him were the result of the president’s pledge to ensure Trump would not be president again. In her decision Saturday, Chutkan squarely rebuffed those assertions, writing that there is “no indication” Biden sought to pressure the Justice Department or Attorney General Merrick Garland to take “politically motivated action” against Trump. https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.V...=Api&P=0&h=180 “Defendant has presented no evidence demonstrating a likelihood of vindictiveness,” Judge Chutkan wrote. TRUMP Accused of Breaking Terms of His Bail https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 Trump, who has been indicted in Georgia for allegedly interfering with the state's election in 2020, specifically targeted the governor, Brian Kemp, and secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger. Raffensperger was the one who received the infamous phone call during which then-president Trump asked him to "find" 11,000 votes. "Convicted felon Trump is breaking terms of his bail right now by attacking witnesses in his GA criminal trial, Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger," Joseph wrote Saturday. "Trump is angry bc they wouldn't help him overturn the election in 2020 and they won't help him overturn it in 2024." Attorney Jeffrey Evan Gold linked to Trump's bond agreements and added, "Which seem to me anyway to be intimidation sufficient to qualify as the potential violation of his conditions of release in Georgia." @ajknight51 had a similar response. "Ah. Donald Trump violating his bail conditions which included not interfering with witnesses like Kemp and Raffensperger." @supernobodyy asked, "Is Trump violating the terms of his bail by attacking witnesses in his court case?" Then added, "He’s not supposed to be discussing Kemp. Arrest him immediately!" A Trump supporter from Georgia didn't bring up the bail issue, but had some tough words for the MAGA leader nonetheless. "What a Dumbf--- move at a Governor of Georgia more popular than you. Dumbest thing I think you ever done and maybe said," the user wrote on Truth Social in response to the ex-president. "I didn’t realize the bullet got Brain Cells from the Ear." Republican insider Erick Erickson also weighed in on the attacks. https://cf-images.us-east-1.prod.bol...atch/image.jpg "The Trump rally in Atlanta makes it more likely Kamala Harris wins.

re: Arizona Grand Jury Wants to Indict TRUMP & Smith Asks For More Time on 2020 CON
TRUMP Lawyer Jenna Ellis Agrees to Cooperate w/AZ Prosecutors Against Rudy G, TRUMP & Others
Election Interference Judge Slaps Down Mass Coordinated Effort Ahead of Trump Hearing --Judge Tanya Chutkan Tuesday rejected eight motions from anonymous parties who sought the right to file to the Washington D.C. docket under the Crime Victims Relief Act AP 7 AUG 2024 https://image4-us-west.cloudokyo.clo...de/origin.webp Jenna Ellis, a former legal adviser for Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, reached a cooperation agreement with Arizona prosecutors related to the alleged efforts to subvert President Biden's 2020 election victory in the state. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has agreed to drop nine felony charges against Ellis in exchange for her cooperation in the investigation into the alleged attempt to deliver the state's 11 Electoral College votes to Trump instead of Mr. Biden. The charges against her included fraud, forgery and conspiracy. "This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case," Mayes said in a statement announcing the agreement, which was signed by Ellis on Monday. Mayes called Ellis' insights "invaluable" as the investigation into the 17 other defendants in the case continues. The attorney general added that Ellis' cooperation "will greatly aid the State in proving its case in court." According to the agreement, Ellis has agreed to testify against other defendants and provide prosecutors with materials related to the alleged scheme. An Arizona grand jury indicted Ellis and 17 others, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in April. All of the defendants pleaded not guilty. The indictment alleged that Trump allies met on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate claiming to affirm Trump as the winner of the state, even though Mr. Biden had won by more than 10,000 votes. The fraudulent document was submitted to Congress as part of a broader conspiracy to challenge Mr. Biden's win when lawmakers gathered on Jan. 6, 2021. Ellis served as a legal adviser to the former president's campaign during the 2020 election. She pleaded guilty in October in a Georgia election case and was sentenced to five years of probation. She also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in that case. "In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence," she said at an October court appearance. "I believe in and I value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse." Election Interference Judge Slaps Down Mass Coordinated Effort on Trumps' Status https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 A "coordinated" effort to claim victim status in former President Donald Trumps' federal election interference case has been slapped down days before it returns to court, records show. "They do not establish that they qualify as 'victim' under the CVRA's statutory definition," Chutkan ruled. "Consequently, the victim's rights enumerated in the CVRA do not attach...and the court is not persuaded that it is appropriate to depart from the ordinary course and permit this filing." The initial filings do not appear on the public docket and it therefore remains unclear who stands behind what Business Insider legal correspondent Jacob Shamsian described as a "coordinated" effort. The fact that the filings are not public makes it unclear what their claims are. The spate of filings arrive after months of delay in the historic case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith against the former president. Smith accused Trump in August 2023 of conspiring to defraud the U.S. and obstruct official proceedings as he whipped up a baseless election fraud frenzy ahead of the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump pleaded not guilty and took a presidential immunity challenge to the Supreme Court, which ruled last month that Trump was protected from prosecution when he pressured the Justice department to back his election fraud claims. The ruling spurred Florida federal court CROOKED Judge Aileen Cannon to dismiss Smith's classified documents case against Trump, a ruling Smith has appealed. Chutkan slapped down a dismissal demand from Trump over the weekend. But the future of both cases hangs in the balance as former president's lawyers batter away at the prosecution and Trump makes his third run for the White House. If Trump, the Republican nominee, is reelected, he could potentially kill both cases for good. Chutkan has summoned both parties to a hearing on 16 Aug. |

RELATED: Arizona Grand Jury Wanted to Indict Trump But Prosecutors Told Them NO https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 WASHINGTON - An Arizona grand jury that charged 18 people this spring in a scheme that sought to overturn Trumps 2020 election loss also wanted to indict him, the New York Times reported citing court papers. Prosecutors have recommended that Trump not be charged, the court papers said, citing a Justice Department policy that discourages state and federal cases against the same defendant primarily on similar facts, according to the New York Times.

New Trump Indictment is The FIFTH Time He's Been Charged Criminally Superseding indictment returned against Donald Trump - The re-tooled indictment maintains four CRIMINAL counts against Trump, but it carves out some of the descriptions of his alleged conduct. The Guardian 28 AUG 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/110dd...0&dpr=1&s=none Trump lashed out on Truth Social after new indictment filed against him https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/c...202720b57a.jpg New indictment alleges Trump sought to pressure department of justice in his effort to overturn his 2020 election defeat; Trump calls new filing a ?travesty? A Washington, D.C. grand jury has returned a superseding indictment against Donald Trump for his involvement in the attempts to overthrow the 2020 election. Superseding indictments typically mean that the charges or definitions differ. As the Justice Department defines, "If an indictment is dismissed because of legal defect or grand jury irregularity, the government may return a new indictment within six months of the date of dismissal or within the original limitation period (whichever is later)." According to Georgia constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis, "The superseding indictment is the Special Counsel's attempt to adhere to the Supreme Court?s presidential immunity decision without showing the prosecution's cards in an evidentiary hearing a/k/a a mini trial. Jack Smith is working to preserve his case and move expeditiously." Smith didn't add more charges but the indictment appeared to be more focused, reporter David Spunt said on Fox News. About 10 pages shorter than the original indictment from last year. "The same four core charges are included on this indictment," he said. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 "The reason that Donald Trump was reindicted if you will is because the Supreme Court came back somewhat in his favour on July 1st of this year telling Jack Smith, the special counsel, essentially in layman's terms 'You need to go back and re-think your case before District Judge Tanya Chutkin." https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/...t-tease_i4opwu The Hidden Messages in the New Trump Indictment |

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 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=669 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." https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=727 Trump's Admission That He "Inteferred" In The Election IS ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE At His Criminal Trial Vetting of J.D. Vance https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 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." |
TRUMP Pleads Not Guilty to Revised FED 2020 Election Criminal Fraud Charges
TRUMP Pleads Not Guilty to Revised 2020 Election Interference Charges
Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday, via his legal team, to the revised charges in his federal criminal election interference investigation, in the first hearing in the Washington DC case since the US supreme court gave its immunity ruling. The Guardian 5 SEP 2024 https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/me...r=2&width=650& Current Republican nominee for the White House in this November?s election was not present in federal court in the capital. The US district judge Tanya Chutkan said she would not set a schedule in the case at this status conference for the prosecution and defense teams, but hopes to do so later on Thursday. The case relates to Trump?s conduct surrounding events after he lost his re-election bid in November 2020 to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, culminating in the insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021, by thousands of extreme Trump supporters intent on overturning the election result. Chutkan is hearing arguments about the potential next steps in the election subversion prosecution of Trump for the first time since the supreme court narrowed the case by ruling that former presidents are entitled to broad immunity from criminal charges. As the hearing opened, the judge noted that it had been almost a year since she had seen the lawyers in her courtroom. The case has been frozen since last December as Trump pursued his appeal. The defense lawyer John Lauro joked to the judge: ?Life was almost meaningless without seeing you.? Chutkan replied: ?Enjoy it while it lasts.? A not guilty plea was entered on Trump?s behalf for a revised indictment that the special counsel Jack Smith?s team filed last week to strip out certain allegations and comply with the supreme court?s ruling in July. Prosecutors have said they can be ready at any time to file a legal brief laying out their position on how to apply the justices? immunity opinion to the case. Defense lawyers are challenging the legitimacy of the case and said they intended to file multiple motions to dismiss the case, including one that piggybacks off a Florida judge?s ruling that Smith?s appointment was unconstitutional. Neither side envisions a trial happening before the November election. The case is one of two federal prosecutions against Trump, in a host of legal cases. The other, charging him with illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, was dismissed in July by the US district judge Aileen Cannon, who said Smith?s appointment as special counsel was unlawful. Smith?s team has appealed that ruling. Trump?s lawyers say they intend to ask Chutkan to dismiss the election case on the same grounds. https://uproxx.com/wp-content/upload...lity=100&w=650 |
Judge Chutkan Repeatedly Shuts Down Trump Lawyers in Brutal Hearing on Immunity
Judge Tanya Chutkan REJECTS Trump's Lawyers Arguments, Sides With Jack Smith on Immunity Litigation
Judge Chutkan Repeatedly Shuts Down Trump Lawyers in Brutal Hearing Today was the first hearing in DC federal court in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case since the Supreme Court handed down its presidential immunity ruling. Glenn Kirschner 6 SEP 2024 https://images.newrepublic.com/9fe09...ct-9.0.2&w=768 Trump had his first January 6 hearing since the Supreme Court immunity decision?and Judge Chutkan rejected nearly every argument from his lawyers https://www.dreamteamdownloads1.com/...XahBBBcuDj/9k= https://washingtonmonthly.com/wp-con...767x633-1.webp https://www.dreamteamdownloads1.com/...XahBBBcuDj/9k= Tanya Chutkan, an Unflinching Judge in the Trump Jan. 6 Trial I was in court for today's hearing and this video discusses how Judge Tanya Chutkan would have none of the arguments of Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, who tried to convince her that she should not promptly litigate the very issue the Supreme Court directed he to promptly litigate, namely, which of Trump's crimes, acts, and conduct constitute official presidential acts worthy of immunity and which do not. The hearing did no go well for Trump and his lawyers. Trump?s trial over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election resumed in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, and it was off to a rough start as Judge Tanya Chutkan repeatedly shot down arguments from his legal team. Trump?s team hid behind the Supreme Court?s ruling on presidential immunity two months ago, claiming that Trump could not be prosecuted over his ?official acts? as president. Instead, Chutkan declared she would treat Trump like any other criminal defendant. Trump attorney John Lauro tried to argue against special counsel Jack Smith?s legitimacy in one instance, citing the fact that Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump?s classified documents case by ruling that Smith?s appointment was not legitimate.... Chutkan again readily dismissed their argument. Lauro then tried to challenge prosecutors? proposal that Trump?s team file a brief on the immunity issue by the end of September, calling it ?extremely prejudicial.? Lauro also tried to claim Trump?s conversations with his vice president, Mike Pence, were ?official acts,? only for Chutkan to rebuff him. Lauro also invoked originalism, which the Supreme Court?s conservatives adhere to, in his claim that Trump?s conversations with Pence were covered by the Supreme Court ruling.... Chutkan shot down that line of thinking. If Trump?s trial continues to proceed like it has on Thursday, then the former president and convicted felon is going to have a tough time. Smith already put together a superseding indictment taking into account the Supreme Court?s immunity ruling, and Chutkan looks like she won?t be favoring Trump, unlike Cannon in Florida. We may have a long and brutal federal trial coming soon.... AND.... https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=684 'This is NOT a Well Man' |
Judge Orders Disclosure of ALL of TRUMP's Jan. 6 Crimes and Acts
Judge Orders Disclosure of Evidence of ALL of TRUMP's Jan. 6 Crimes and Acts
Jan. 6 hearing: New evidence could emerge after Judge's ruling AP 7 SEP 2024 https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/...tment-illo.jpg Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered that Jack Smith file a brief on September 26 disclosing all of Donald Trump's acts on and around January 6 so she can litigate which of Trump's crimes and acts might be official presidential acts and which are not. And there was a remarkable statement made by Trump's attorney at the court hearing that Justice Clarence Thomas "directed" them to raise the issue of the legality of the appointment of special counsel and "suggested" they do it immediately. If this is true, investigations are necessary. Thursday's hearing, following months of delays in the case, came a week after special counsel Jack Smith filed the new indictment that revised the original Jan. 6 charges to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling that Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office. In a scheduling order issued following Thursday's hearing, Judge Chutkan said she would allow special counsel Jack Smith to file a comprehensive brief on presidential immunity by Sept. 26. Chutkan's order allows Smith and his prosecutors to essentially defend their superseding indictment by presenting grand jury testimony and evidence that they believe bolsters their argument -- something that Trump's lawyers adamantly opposed during Thursday's hearing, because it departs from normal federal court procedure regarding which side gets to file papers first. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=902 Trump's lawyers also suggested that such a filing would allow the special counsel to cherry-pick evidence. |

Trump Attorneys Ask Judge Chutkan To Stop Jack Smith From Making Case In Court Of Public Opinion Before Election AP 22 SEP 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...y=49&s=32&d=32 Special counsel Jack Smith should not be allowed to make an important public filing in his election interference case against former president Donald Trump while there are lingering evidence disputes, Trumps attorneys told the judge Thursday. His attorneys urged Judge Tanya Chutkan, who set a schedule allowing prosecutors to file the first brief on presidential immunity Sept. 26, to reconsider her decision. Without addressing ongoing evidence issues, Smiths filing would amount to an improper motion for summary judgment in the court of public opinion? ahead of the election, they argued. Trumps attorneys noted there are ongoing discovery violations in this case that implicate Presidential immunity and other strong defenses, including the Offices failure to produce exculpatory evidence concerning the flaws with this prosecution and the Offices false allegations. They said prosecutors conducted their evidence review at a time when they wholly denied the existence of Presidential immunity, before the Supreme Courts July 1 decision finding former presidents immune from prosecution for official acts taken in office. Trump Makes UNHINGED Threat Ahead of Election Trump over the weekend threatened to prosecute AND JAIL donors, lawyers and elections officials who he claimed cheate in the 2020 election or who engaged in behaviour he deemed unscrupulous And he elevated a dubious claim about fraud involving mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, echoing rhetoric he used to cast doubt on the 2020 results. Republican critics viewed Trumps most recent posts as a blaring warning sign about how Trump may react to Novembers results, win or lose. As we head into the debate, an extreme and unhinged Donald Trump is further ratcheting up his dangerous threats of revenge and retribution The Supreme Courts recent decision established important parameters for the procedural and substantive consideration of this defense that the Office could not possibly have accounted for when the bulk of discovery was collected and produced Trumps attorneys wrote. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WPsnAEXifY |
Steel Yourself TRUMP-2020 Criminal Case: Jack Smiths HUGE Mountain of Evidence
Steel Yourself TRUMP: Jack Smith Filing HUGE Brief With Mountain of Evidence in 2020 Election Criminal Case
Special Counsel Jack Smith is soon expected to file an "oversized brief" filled with "sensitive material" in the criminal case Donald Trump faces in D.C. MSNRAW 24 SEP 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=685 Smith submitted a filing to Judge Tanya Chutkan asking for permission to send an oversized brief in the case, which involves allegations that the former president unlawfully attempted to interfere with the election he lost to President Biden in 2020. The expected brief will deal with immunity issues stemming from the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling that found limited immunity for Trump in certain cases. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin flagged the new filing over the weekend, saying, "Steel yourself." "In a new filing, the Special Counsel tells Judge Tanya Chutkan its opening immunity brief will be roughly 180 pages with roughly half devoted to a 'detailed factual proffer' and plenty of sensitive material warranting redactions," the attorney added. "The defense opposes the Special Counsels request to file such an oversized brief and has asked to have until Tuesday at 5 pm to submit a written opposition." Kyle Cheney, senior legal affairs reporter for Politico, also reported on the upcoming brief, saying, "Jack Smith signals his brief on presidential immunity, due Thursday, will come in at 180 pages." Legal analyst Allison Gill, better known as Mueller, She Wrote, added that "Jack Smith asks for permission to exceed the page limit for his immunity brief. It will be 180 pages, and as expected, they intend to file a substantial part of it UNDER SEAL." Former prosecutor Barb McQuade said, "Not a surprise that Jack Smiths brief in immunity case is lengthy. He plans to lay out the mountain of evidence against Trump." https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=727 Former acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, who was indicted alongside Trump in the election subversion case in Georgia, responded to Rubins note: "See, the JournoLawfare people like Rubin are already building anticipation for Jack Smiths smear attack on Trump coming out on Thursday," he wrote. https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/18375...g&name=360x360 |

Jack Smith Could Drop New Bombshells In Trumps Federal Election Case This Week AP 25 SEP 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...68&s=610&d=308 New information could come to light this week about Trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as Special Counsel Jack Smiths office is set to file a lengthy brief making its case for why Trump should be prosecuted, including using new evidence and a federal judge rejected Trumps push to prevent it from being released. Chutkan granted Smiths request to file a brief in the case laying out the governments full case against Trump and why its in line with the Supreme Courts immunity ruling, so that the judge can have all the facts when she makes her decision as can any appeals courts and the Supreme Court, since Trump is likely to appeal whatever ruling she issues. That brief is due Thursday and will include ?additional unpled categories of evidence that the Government intends to introduce at trial, Smith has said, and also warned it will be 180 pages long (exceeding the courts usual 45-page limit) and will include grand jury transcripts that have not previously been made public. Chutkan greenlit Smiths request to file a longer-than-usual brief Tuesday, rebuffing opposition from Trumps attorneys and calling the governments efforts simply how litigation works. Trumps lawyers had pleaded with the court on Monday not to allow Smith to file the brief, claiming even before seeing it that it will be a 180-page false hit piece that the attorneys claim will taint the jury pool, also arguing its fundamentally unfair because it will lay out the governments allegations against Trump before the election https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWmCNB3-iTw |

MSN 2 OCT 2024 https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...15&s=625&d=264 Trump filed to Washington D.C. federal court Tuesday a seven-page response to a new 180 page document that could contain new evidence from his federal election interference case prosecutor, court records show. "The true motivation driving the efforts by the Special Counsels Office to disseminate witness statements that they previously sought to lock down is as obvious as it is inappropriate," Trumps lawyers wrote. "The Office wants their politically motivated manifesto to be public, contrary to the Justice Manual and longstanding DOJ norms in cases not involving President Trump, in the final weeks of the 2024 Presidential election while early voting has already begun." This was Trumps response to Smiths nine-page argument, in support of publishing a redacted copy of his 180-page case summary to the public docket, delivered to Judge Tanya Chutkan last week. This video takes on the three main arguments Trump makes as to why Smiths motion should not be revealed to the public - arguments Judge Tanya Chutkan is very likely to find entirely unpersuasive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mglaO8UMy0 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=645 Im INNOCENT https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=799 |
DEATH KNELL For TRUMP- Pages of Evidence of His J6 2020 Crimes RELEASED
WOW-BOMBSHELL For TRUMP -New Court Filings Released - 165-Pages of Evidence of His J6 2020 Crimes
Newly unsealed court filing argues former president is NOT entitled to immunity from prosecution TRUMP said SO WHAT when Mike Pence was rushed to safety to save his life during Capitol riots, court filing reveals Telegraph UK 2 OCT 2024 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hR8QSJ1shO8/maxresdefault.jpg Key Moments 9:44pm Pence encouraged Trump to accept defeat 9:37pm Hes just going to say that hes the winner 9:26pm Trump campaign hits back 9:23pm Make them riot' Trump said so what when Mike Pence was rushed to safety Donald Trump said so what when Mike Pence was rushed to safety during the Capitol riots, a new court filing reveals. Trump, then the US president, was told that his vice president had been forced to flee the Capitol on January 6 2021 as rioters burst in, according to court documents filed by special counsel Jack Smith. A US judge has made the 165-page document public, in which prosecutors lay out their evidence that allegedly shows Trump illegally tried to overturn his 2020 election defeat. It reads: Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that Pence had been taken to a secure location, [redacted] rushed to the dining room to inform the defendant [Trump] in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pences safety. Instead, after [redacted] delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, So what?? 9:50PM Trump operatives sought to create chaos Trumps private operatives sought to create chaos at polling stations where votes were still being counted. One campaign employee and alleged co-conspirator tried to sow confusion? at a polling station in Detroit, Michigan, which looked unfavourable for Trump. When a colleague told the campaign operative, who is named as P5 in the court filing, ?we think [a batch of votes heavily in Biden?s favour is] right?, they responded: find a reason it isnt?, give me options to file litigation and even if itbis [sic]. When the colleague said there could be unrest, P5 replied: make them riot and do it!!! Trumps campaign staff are said to have used similar tactics at other tabulation centres, which the then-president used to claim his election observers were being denied proper access. 9:44PM Pence encouraged Trump to accept defeat and see it as intermission In November 12 2020, the former vice president told Trump that he should not concede but recognise [that the] process is over. At a lunch four days later, Mr Pence encouraged him to accept the election results. The former president is said to have responded: I dont know, 2024 is so far-off. Later the same day, Mr Pence told him after we have exhausted every legal process in the courts and Congress, if we still came up short, [you] should take a bow 9:37PM Hes just going to say that hes the winner? Trumps private political advisor told a group of supporters the then-presidents strategy was to declare himself a winner. Three days before the election, the aide said: And what Trumps going to do is just declare victory. Right Hes going to declare victory. According to the court filing, he added: thats our strategy. 9:33PM Trump planted the seeds to claim he won the election Trump told his advisors he would simply declare victory before the ballots were counted when he was told the 2020 race would be close. His team warned him that while he might appear to be in the lead initially, it would diminish when mail-in ballots were counted. 9:31PM Republicans are likely to frame the submission of the new court documents in Donald Trumps election interferenc case as an attempt to influence the 2024 presidential election, which is now just over a month away. Trump Resorted to CRIMES to Stay in Office? After losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Trump resorted to crimes to try to stay in office He launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to try and overturn the election results, prosecutors allege. They claim Trumps efforts included lying to state officials to induce them to ignore true vote counts and manufacturing fraudulent electoral votes in the targeted states. He is also accused of trying to enlist Mike Pence to obstruct the certification of the election. Prosecutors also accuse Trump of directing an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification on 6 January 2021. MAKE THEM RIOT https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 Trump urged colleagues to make them riot and do it when it was suggested their election theft claims could spark violence. Campaign officials were discussing whether false claims from Donald Trump that he had won the 2020 election could result in scenes similar to the Brooks Brothers Riot, a violent attempt to stop the vote count in Florida after the 2000 presidential election. Supporters of Mr Trump eventually launched a violent siege of the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, two months after his election defeat. The details were revealed in new court documents in the case accusing Mr Trump of subverting the election, just released. https://theconservativetreehouse.com...-ungagged.jpeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVC6Sh1k3HU |
DOOMED TRUMP- Mike Pence RECORDED TRUMPs J6 2020 Crimes in Evidence RELEASED
TRUMPs 5 Criminal Schemes Detailed in Jack Smith Filing: The Mike Pence Piece Is Beyond Disturbing
Mike Pence RECORDED All Of TRUMPs J6 2020 Crimes AP 4 OCT 2024 https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/di...4b06ad67c7.jpg TRUMP Alone With His Phone Organising The COUP & Illegal Actions At 2:24 p.m. on Jan. 6, as Trump supporters were attacking the Capitol, Trump took to Twitter to condemn Vice President Mike Pence, saying Pence lacked courage because Pence had resisted Trumps pressure to intervene in the Electoral College certification. According to Smiths prosecutors, Trump was alone in the White House dining room when he sent that tweet. Trumps aides had left him there after failing to persuade him to call on his supporters to leave the Capitol. The tweet criticizing Pence coincided with one of the most perilous moments of the riot: the precise minute Pence was being evacuated from his Senate office to a loading dock below the Capitol. Rioters had come within 40 feet of where he was sheltering just before this moment. When Trump was told by an aide of Pences evacuation, prosecutors say Trump responded: So what?? Inventing Statistics Prosecutors said they would prove at trial that Trump and his allies often made up statistics about voter fraud from whole cloth. For example, Trump and allies alleged that 36,000 noncitizens had cast ballots in Arizona, changing the figure to a few hundred thousand five days later, eventually revising it back to bare minimum 40 or 50,000, then to 32,000 and back up to the original number of 36,000. Broken Promises of Evidence One week after Election Day in 2020, Trump told then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R-Ariz.) that he was packaging up fraud evidence to share with him, prosecutors wrote. But Trump never provided it. Ducey told Trump that Arizona was all but lost, comparing it to being in the ninth inning, two outs, and [the defendant] was several runs down Mocking Sidney Powell After a Fox News host called out Trump-aligned lawyer Sidney Powell for making bizarre claims about Dominion Voting machines, Trump called her on speakerphone. On the Nov. 20, 2020 call, Trump muted his line and mocked her to two aides, calling her claims about the election crazy and making a reference to Star Trek, prosecutors contend. On another occasion, he called Powell unhinged. Though its not referenced in Smiths new filing or his indictment, Trump later considered naming Powell as a special counsel to investigate election fraud, and he considered a proposal she crafted to seize voting machines from swing states for a forensic inspection. Trumps Jan. 5 Call to Steve Bannon Prosecutors, who had more access to telephone records and emails than the congressional committee that investigated Jan. 6, allege that Trump spoke to ally Steve Bannon by phone on Jan. 5 less than two hours before Bannon issued a prescient and provocative prediction on his War Room podcast that all hell is going to break loose on Jan. 6. MAKE THEM RIOT? Well before Jan. 6, an unidentified Trump campaign employee enthusiastically spoke of the potential for a riot in Michigan. The employee, whom prosecutors described as a co-conspirator, allegedly sought to create chaos at a polling center in Detroit when it became clear a batch of election returns favorable to Biden was legitimate. Find a reason it isnt, the alleged co-conspirator said to a colleague, prosecutors wrote. When the colleague said an outbreak of violence appeared imminent, the campaign employee replied: Make them riot and Do it!!!

Judge Chutkan Approves Release of TRUMP Jan. 6 Documents That Could Reveal More DAMNING Testimony
TRUMP at Breaking Point With Judge Chutkan Over Jack Smiths Election Interference, Mulls an Extraordinary Appeal The ex president appears to be telegraphing his intent to ask a higher court to stop release of January 6 evidence AP 12 OCT 2024 https://am14.mediaite.com/med/cnt/up...t-1200x675.png Trump launched curse word rant against immigrants during private donors dinner https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...97&s=320&d=320 Donald Trump gave a foul-mouthed rant about immigrants to a small group of wealthy donors during a private fundraiser over the summer, according to reports. In a 12-minute recording of the former presidents speech, obtained and reviewed by The Guardian, Trump claimed the United States is going to hell if Vice President Kamala Harris wins and that terrorists, prisoners and people in mental institutions were being sent from other countries. At one point, he falsely claimed 22 people were released from prisons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We said, Where do you come from? Trump reportedly said in the speech in Aspen, Colorado. They said, Prison. What did you do?? None of your f***ing business what we did. You know why Because theyre murderers. There is no evidence that prisoners from the DRC are being released to the United States, and a spokesperson for the countrys government told CNN everything [Trump] is saying isnt true. The Independent asked the Trump campaign for comment. The anti-immigration claim is a familiar one Trump makes at his rallies where he falsely tells supporters that Central and South American countries are releasing terrorists or prisoners into the U.S. to commit what Trump calls ?migrant crime?. Crime rates do not support the allegations, and studies have shown immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes than U.S. citizens. Additionally, fewer people are crossing the U.S.Mexico border than in 2019. The private fundraiser on August 10 was hosted by a group of investment executives and billionaires, including Andrew McKenna Jr., the son of former chair of McDonalds Andrew McKenna and Duke Buchan III, the CEO and founder of Hunter Global Investors and former Republican National Committee finance chair. Fundraiser attendees were required to pay anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 per couple. Donors who attended the fundraiser told The Daily Beast in August that Trump was ?not angry at all at the event, describing him as funny and disciplined. Another person, whose parent attended the fundraiser, told The Beast that the former presidents speech was actually boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8x8u9saWFY Another Reason Trump Will Be Convicted In His DC Case- Co-conspirator Liability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsWdGX78-4E MORE; Prosecutor Fani Willis FLUSH With Campaign Cash From Georgia Voters to Keep Targeting TRUMP https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 The Georgia prosecutor who charged former President Donald Trump with an illegal attempt to overturn 2020 election result in her swing state is raking in so much campaign cash that its making headlines.

Jack Smiths Evidence CONFIRMS Trump is Responsible For Jan 6 Capitol Riots
Jack Smiths Appendix of Evidence to Be Released Today After Devastating Opinion
NEW Jack Smith Filing Asserts Trump is Responsible For Jan. 6 Capitol Riots MSNRAW 18 OCT 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=685 The federal judge overseeing Donald Trumps election interference case in Washington, D.C. released a "devastating" five-page opinion on Thursday night that will allow for the release Friday of an appendix full of evidence the former president, according to a former federal prosecutor. Judge Tanya Chutkan last week ruled that she would make special counsel Jack Smith's appendix public, but allowed Trump time to weigh his options. On Thursday, he requested to delay her pause in the case until Nov. 14 ? after the election. Late Thursday, the judge swatted away the attempt in what former Alabama federal prosecutor Joyce Vance called a "devastating" opinion. In her newsletter, "Civil Discourse," Vance highlighted "old school" Chutkan's key points worth noting, including that the public ought to have access to "all facets" of criminal proceedings. "Documents should only be kept under seal where the circumstances of the case or interests of the parties outweigh the public?s?and the press?s?First Amendment rights," Vance wrote. Trump sought to keep the appendix of evidence sealed but failed to persuade the judge, who laid out six factors that courts can use to test whether such evidence ought to be kept sealed. Instead, he cited other arguments ? which she "swats aside" ? including that future jurors could become tainted by Smith's evidence and that the public shouldn't be misled by the Supreme Courts presidential immunity ruling by "one-sided submissions." https://www.caribbeannationalweekly....a-Chutkan.jpeg "Judge Chutkan has a reputation for being efficient and no-nonsense. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...00&height=1045 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs9xSxcnPaY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_Io_NOwuY |
What TRUMP Will Do On His Legal Problems-Jack Smith Winds Down Criminal Cases
Here is What The Election Results Mean For TRUMPs Legal Problems
US Special Counsel Jack Smith, To Wind Down Criminal Cases Against Trump Jack Smiths case would not be finished before inauguration, after which Trump could prohibit prosecutors from pursuing it The Guardian 7 NOV 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=756 Now that President elect Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the 2024 election, Politico has done a rundown of what it means for the multiple criminal charges that have been leveled against him. In short, Politico finds that Trump is now his own judge and jury, insulated from the criminal consequences he might have faced without the legal force field of the Oval Office. Once he returns to the Oval Office next year, Trump will almost certainly fire special counsel Jack Smith, who indicted Trump for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election and for stashing top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Trump will also appoint an attorney general who will drop ALL charges against him, according to prior statements. US Special Counsel to Wind Down Criminal Cases Against Trump https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b462a...none&crop=none Special counsel prosecutors will shut down their criminal cases against Donald Trump before he takes office, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter, after his stunning victory against Kamala Harris meant they would not proceed to trial. The move reflects the reality that the cases will not be completed before inauguration day. Once the former president returns to the White House, the special counsels office would be prohibited from pursuing further criminal actions under justice department policy. The justice department has long known that if Trump won, the criminal cases over Trumps retention of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election would be finished because Trumps attorney general would likely drop the charges. But it is also understood to be a preemptive measure to ensure that Trump will not be able to order the dismissal of the special counsel, Jack Smith, as he had vowed to do if he takes office and Smith remained in his role. That possibility had been relished by Trumps close aides and advisers, who privately imagined Trump ordering Smiths removal and his team having to vacate their office space in Washington. The justice department is still examining how to wind down the cases, which are in different stages and are complicated. In particular, the department does not want the classified documents case, which was dismissed and currently under appeal, to go unchallenged. Failure to pursue an appeal over the dismissal of the classified documents case on grounds that the special counsel himself was illegally appointed could set a problematic precedent and hamper the departments ability to use special counsels in the future. What Donald Trumps Win Means For Ukraine, Middle East, And Russia Donald Trumps return to the White House is set to reshape US foreign policy, promising potentially radical shifts on multiple fronts as war and uncertainty grip parts of the world. During his campaign, Trump made broad policy pledges, often lacking specific details, based on principles of non-interventionism and trade protectionism - or as he puts it America First. His victory signals one of the most significant potential disruptions in many years in Washingtons approach to foreign affairs in the midst of parallel crises A very VERY sad day for American democracy and just how much, if any, the US will be respected in the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NqP01mpaY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GdwbvpcgkE&t=15s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cTk_QwFWq0 |
2 Key Categories That Could Be Released / Declassified in Jack Smiths' Final Repo
Prosecutor Flags 2 Key Categories That Could Be Released in Jack Smiths' Final Reports
Two categories are worth keeping an eye on that could be released in the final reports: Classified Information and Grand Jury Records. MSNRAW 14 NOV 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=813 With Trump just weeks away from returning to office and all but sure to immediately fire Smith there is little time for the special counsel to complete his final reports, Wehle wrote, where she urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to release the final reports. Biden could declassify parts of the Mar-a-Lago records for no other reason than to preserve for posterity the facts regarding Trumps alleged national security crimes Wehle wrote. If the records of the investigation arent declassified and published before the change in administrations, Trump will undoubtedly order them all destroyed An action that the Supreme Courts ruling in Trump v. U.S. would insulate from scrutiny. She said the grand jury material could be released the same way Kenneth Starr made public grand jury material in the Bill Clinton matter with the judges overseeing the cases signing off on it under Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. In the meantime, Wehle concluded, anyone who worked on the investigations prosecutors, FBI agents, paralegals, analysts will have to worry about getting a new job. They may even have to consult a criminal defense attorney too, given Trumps promise to retaliate against those who prosecuted him, she added. |
Jack Smith DROPS Two FED Criminal Cases Without Prejudice Before Inauguration
Prosecutors DROP Election Interference and Documents Cases Against TRUMP - "Without Prejudice."
Special counsel Jack Smith dismisses the two federal criminal cases before president-elects? inauguration While Trumps Criminal Cases Are On Hold, His Civil Cases Will Continue Full Speed Ahead The Guardian 25 NOV 2024 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/18633...none&crop=none Special counsel prosecutors dismissed the two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump in separate court filings on Monday, as they bowed to the reality that they would not be completed or proceed to trial before Trump returns to the presidency next year. The withdrawals marked the end of the years-long legal battle between Trump and the special counsel Jack Smith, and reflected the extraordinary ability of Trump to sidestep an indictment that would have sunk the presidential bid of anyone else. Trumps election victory was always going to spell the end of the criminal cases against him over Trumps retention of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election due to justice department policy that prohibits taking criminal action against a sitting president. But the withdrawals also showed just how successfully Trump, with help from sympathetic judges, managed to beat the justice system with an audacious play of using a presidential campaign and the political calendar to sidestep deeply perilous charges. In a six-page motion to dismiss the 2020 election interference case, prosecutors said even though Trump was not yet president, they had been told by the departments office of legal counsel, which provides internal legal advice, to withdraw the case before his inauguration in January. It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President, wrote Smiths top deputy, Molly Gaston. That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Governments proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind, she added. Moments later, prosecutors told the US court of appeals for the 11th circuit that they were withdrawing their challenge against the earlier dismissal of the classified documents case with respect to Trump. But they said they would continue trying to bring cases against Trumps co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira - although it was unclear whether those charges would also be dropped once Trumps loyalist attorney general pick, Pam Bondi, takes over the justice department. From the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, the site of the presidential transition where Trump allegedly stashed 101 classified documents after he left office and was indicted after ignoring a subpoena for their return, Trumps communications director, Steven Cheung, issued a gleeful statement on the news. Todays decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and is a major victory for the rule of law. The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system,? Cheung wrote. Within days of Trumps victory, prosecutors started examining how to shut down the 2020 election case in federal district court in Washington, and the more complicated matter of the classified documents case that was before the US court of appeals for the 11th circuit. For months, Trumps overarching legal strategy was to delay the criminal cases until after Tuesdays election banking on the fact that if he won he could appoint a loyalist attorney general who would simply drop the prosecutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbIO-1qBVuc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMbFBk6q9pM |
Jack Smith Under Concocted Investigation Over Probes Into Trump
Jack Smith Under Concocted Investigation Over Probes Into Trump
Trumps Office of Special Counsel has launched an investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith, the prosecutor who tried to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged crimes MSRAW 3 AUG 2025 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=857 The probe comes as Trumps administration accuses Smith of alleged violations of the Hatch Act, which limits political activities by government workers. Both of Smiths criminal cases were dropped after Trump came to power The investigation is being driven by Trumps attack dog Sen. Tom Cotton, who baselessly claimed earlier this week that Smith used his DOJ role to influence the election by investigating Trump for alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 election storing classified documents in his Mar a Lago club Cotton took issue with Smith filing court documents within 60 days of Election Day. The Office of the Special Counsel, though officially independent of the government, is now run by a Trump appointee after the president fired the previous Biden appointed head. Ironically, 13 officials from Trumps own first administration were found to have violated the Hatch Act in 2021 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ1hIl7V...jpg&name=small |
Trumps 'Puppet' Files Ethics Complaint Against Jack Smith-Smith Responds
Imaginary and Unfounded Jack Smith Responds to Ethics Complaint Filed by Trumps 'Puppet'
Jack Smiths legal team have filed their first response to ethics complaints filed against him by Trump & His Allies MSRAW 27 AUG 2025 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=857 Sen. Tom Cotton persuaded the Office of Special Counsel, which has no affiliation with Smiths role during Joe Bidens presidency, to investigate whether he violated the law by seeking to quickly bring Trump to trial But Smith and his lawyers Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski challenged the allegations in a three page letter to the acting special counsel Jamieson Greer, reported the New York Times The predicate for this investigation is imaginary and unfounded, they wrote. Mr. Smith followed well established legal principles in conducting the investigations into Trump, and the courts presiding over the resulting prosecutions have already rejected the spurious allegations that the manner in which Mr. Smith prosecuted these cases was somehow improper Cotton accused the former special counsel, who was appointed by former Attorney General Merrick Garland and resigned after Trumps election, of having no rationale except for an attempt to affect the 2024 election results with his investigations of the once and future president during Bidens presidency. This investigation is premised on a partisan complaint that suggests the ordinary operation of the criminal justice system should be disrupted by the whims of a political contest, Smith's lawyers wrote. But the notion that justice should yield to politics is antithetical to the rule of law The letter noted that Greers office has publicly confirmed the ethics investigation, but they wrote that neither Smith nor his lawyers have received any inquiries from his office, and they urged him not to reach a conclusion without engaging. We welcome the opportunity to engage with your office and are confident that as you become familiar with the facts and the record, you will conclude that there is no basis to find a violation of the Hatch Act and that these allegations are wholly without merit, the letter stated. I just dont see how this comes anywhere close to a Hatch Act violation, Painter said. If Smith had made public statements shortly before the election about the filings, we would have an issue that would need to be addressed. Or if he'd written Congress, it would need to be addressed https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 I see NO evidence that Jack Smith did anything of the kind. He simply filed pleadings with the court, and the pleadings were accepted by the courts https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~10AA...~Tm/s-l500.jpg |
Jack Smith Talks About Trump Investigation For First Time
Jack Smith Speaks Out About Trump Investigation For First Time
Jack Smith Talks Against The Trump Administration in Rare Interview The former special counsel warned of threats to public servants and the independence of the judiciary in an interview at University College London Faculty of Laws. AP 15 OCT 2025 https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/i...-cs-13650c.jpg Jack Smith, the special counsel who brought two criminal cases against Donald Trump, spoke out against the Trump administration in a rare interview posted Tuesday. Smith, who resigned from the Justice Department in January shortly before Trump returned to office as president, warned that attacks on public servants would have an incalculable cost on the country. I think the attacks on public servants, particularly nonpartisan public servants I think it has a cost for our country that is incalculable, and I think that its hard to communicate to folks how much that is going to cost us, Smith said in an interview last week with former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissman at University College London Faculty of Laws, where Weissman is a visiting professor. Smiths investigation led to two indictments against Trump, one for his handling of classified documents and another for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump denied all wrongdoing and blasted both cases as politically motivated witch hunts CROOKED U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, dismissed the classified documents case on the grounds that Smith's appointment was illegal. Smith dropped the 2020 election case after Trumps November win, citing DOJ policy on prosecuting sitting presidents. In a report released before he resigned in January, Smith said Trump inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence on Jan. 6, adding he believed Trump would have been convicted for his acts had he not been re elected president last year. Since he assumed office in January, Trump has repeatedly blasted Smith, calling him deranged. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, asked Smith on Tuesday to testify about his prosecutions of Trump. In his interview with Weissman, Smith warned of threats to the independence of the judiciary, saying judges and prosecutors should not be thinking of their jobs as popularity contests. They need the room and space to make decisions that some people might not like, Smith said.
