The release of the first part of Jack Smith’s report at midnight was the special counsel’s version of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision: we had seen it before. Putting aside the public filings where Smith fought to get this information out before the election, there was little new in the report. What the report did not contain is an explanation of how Smith destroyed his own cases against Trump. However, one notable element was Smith’s reliance on a dubious concurrence by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the subject of a prior column on what would be an interpretation that was too clever by half.
Much of the report was vintage Smith in dismissing countervailing precedent and insisting that he could “obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.” He may be right about obtaining a conviction before a D.C. jury and a highly motivated judge against Trump. However, he would not have been able to sustain any conviction — and this report makes that abundantly clear.
Smith repeats the same conclusory evidence, such as citing how Trump said “fight” ten times in his January 6th speech. He minimized the immunity decision by removing some evidence but kept largely the original indictment. However, the treatment of the obstruction claims was the most telling and indicative of Smith, who has repeatedly lost cases due to overextending constitutional and statutory authority.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Fischer v. United States rejecting the use of obstruction of legal proceedings against January 6th defendants will potentially impact hundreds of cases. For some, it may lead to dismissals or, in the cases with multiple charges, resentencings. One of those cases that will be impacted is the pending prosecution of former president Donald Trump who is facing four charges, including two obstruction counts. It was not clear if Special Counsel Jack Smith would yield to the decision or possibly take the dubious path laid out by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in her concurrence.
However, Smith tended to push the law to the breaking point to bag defendants. That was the case when his conviction of former Virginia Governor Robert F. McDonnell was unanimously reversed as overextending another law.
As I wrote previously after the decision, “It is doubtful that [Smith] will go quietly into the night after the Fischer decision.” In most cases, a prosecutor would go back and secure a superseding indictment in light of the loss of the obstruction claims. Those claims were central to the narrative of the government under the Trump indictment. However, I wrote that it “is not Smith’s style” to yield to precedent and that he would likely “take a not-so-subtle hint from Jackson in her concurrence.”
Jackson supported the majority in finding that the obstruction provision, Section 1512(c), was enacted after the Enron case to address the destruction of documents and records.
Section 1512(c)(1) prohibits corruptly obstructing an official proceeding by altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing a record, document, or other object with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding. However, a second provision under subsection (c)(2) allowed for charges that would “otherwise” obstruct, influence, or impede an official proceeding. The Court held that the obstruction cases under Section 1512(c)(2) must be tied to impairing the integrity or availability of evidence.
However, in a single justice concurrence, she added a way that Smith and other prosecutors might still be able to shoehorn January 6th into a Section 1512 offense:
“That official proceeding [Congress’s certification of the Electoral College vote] plainly used certain records, documents, or objects—including, among others, those relating to the electoral votes themselves. And it might well be that Fischer’s conduct, as alleged here, involved the impairment (or the attempted impairment) of the availability or integrity of things used during the January 6 proceeding “in ways other than those specified in (c)(1).” Ante, at 8. If so, then Fischer’s prosecution under §1512(c)(2) can, and should, proceed. That issue remains available for the lower courts to determine on remand.”
Once again, no other justice joined Jackson in the concurrence.
Right on cue, Smith revealed that he was going to do precisely what I feared in taking a position supported by a single justice. In his report, Smith wrote:
“Mr. Trump’s and his co-conspirators’ obstruction involved replacing valid elector certificates from the contested states with false ones they had manufactured-the Office anticipated the possibility of such a result in Fischer and confirmed that the evidence would prove Mr. Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt even under a narrow interpretation of Section 1512(c)(2).”
Just saying that a proceeding involves “certain records” is transparently artificial and forced. Even the submission of an alternative slate of electors is not the destruction of electors certified by the secretaries of state.
The federal law allows for challenges in Congress, which Democrats previously utilized without claims of insurrections or attacks on democracy. J6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), voted to challenge the certification of the 2004 results of President George W. Bush’s reelection; committee member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sought to challenge Trump’s certification in 2016. Both did so under the very law that Trump’s congressional supporters used in 2020. And Pelosi and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) praised the challenge organized by then-Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) in 2004.
Those challenges under the same loose theory could have been viewed as attempting to negate or destroy certifications from the states. It would have likely, in my view, result in another reversal. However, Smith is always about securing convictions more than sustaining appeals. That is why he filed the second case in D.C., where he was given the best possible judge for the prosecution, a judge viewed by many as predisposed against Trump.
In a sentencing hearing of a Jan. 6 rioter in 2022, Chutkan had said that the rioters “were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man — not to the Constitution.” She added then, “[i]t’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.” That “one person” was then brought to her for trial by Smith.
So Smith was going to proceed on the theory of a single justice with the help of a favorable jury and a motivated judge. Little has changed with Smith since his unanimous reversal in the McDonnell case, which seems much of the reason that he was appointed.

Hey Man, None of you know Jack Smith (Period).
He’s a Soldier, He was told to do a Thankless Job and He did a Thankless Job.
He was assigned, he didn’t ask for the Job. He needed to make a Paycheck like anyone else.
No one ‘wants’ to go after an Ex-President of the United States – No one except Hillary Clinton.
He got the short end of the Stick – He’ll live with that the rest of his life.
So Smith was just following orders?
Where have I heard that excuse before this?
Is that you, Babylon Bee?
If Someone ‘want’s to go after an Ex-President then they should. If Elon Musk decides to get a Proxy and pony up 50$ Million for an Attorney to go after Biden or His Son after He leaves Office, that’s fine by me.
But Hillary figured out how to get the Government (DOJ) to go do it for free. That’s the Crime in my book.
Hegseth said “redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,”
I think he misspoke. I think me meant to say…redeemed by my Lord and Savior donald j trump.
I’m not a Christian, never have been, but I find the Left’s attacks on Christians to be… well… just plain stupid
OldFish,
As I have stated here on the good professor’s blog, I am not religious but spiritual. I find the left’s attacks on Christians and Jews to be, as you aptly put it, “well… just plain stupid.”
I’m not even “spiritual”
My Dad called me a 17th century rationalist
🤣
OldFish,
That made me laugh! Thank you!
” I find the left’s attacks on Christians and Jews to be, as you aptly put it, “well… just plain stupid.”
But some of our friends here on the blog blame Israel. Blame Israel for the hundreds of thousands + of bodies dug up in Syria or the hundreds of thousands of deaths by ISIS. Blame Israel.
When they blame Israel for civilian deaths estimated at one-tenth of those deaths by the Allies, one has to wonder where they get this double standard from. Nothing seems to alter their stance, even though they can’t provide any reason to prove it was the indigenous Jews (which can be likened to the American Indians) of the area. If people don’t believe that Jews are the original so-called Palestinians, they should check the passports of the Jews living in Israel pre and post WWW2. Their passports call them Palestinians. If one needs further proof, watch the film Exodus with Paul Newman. Ari Ben Canaan refers to himself as a Sabra when speaking with a woman. She asks what it means. He responded, a Palestinian.
The “christian” support of trump has done more to empty churches than anything in history.
If “christians” support the sexual abusing felon trump, I want no part of that “religion”.
If you call that an attack on “Christianity”, you’re dumber than I previously thought.
So were they heading to the left’s Church of Satan because they prefer accused rapist Bill Clinton and Joe Biden who showers with his daughter and made her sexually promiscuous at a young age instead?
There’s never a shortage of Anonymous Democrat Marxist Useful Idiots from Karl Marx’s cult Religion of Atheism eager to lecture Americans as self-identifying experts on deist religions what Christianity means.
The Washington DC Bar Association and it’s Rules of Professional Conduct for Washington DC Democrat lawyers like Jack Smith and Merrick Garland is actually a thing.
Professor Turley has successfully trolled us (including me obviously), with yet another article where he repeats what we already know of Jack Smith’s technical failures as the returning Democrat police state fascist champion. Smith leaves with a 1-1 record at taking out Republican challengers to a Democrat vice president/president seeking reelection.
Professor Turley’s continued and deliberate avoidance of pointing out how all of Biden’s Washington DC Democrat lawyer police state fascists have been committing serial violations of their very own bar association’s rules of professional conduct leaves George, Dennis, and Anonymous Democrat police state fascists room to maneuver to ironically insult their host and attempt to legitimize Jack Smith.
Jack Smith, AG Merrick Garland, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco (who chose her former partner Smith to be SC) are all members of the Washington DC Bar Association – as is their brother member of that bar association, Professor Turley. (maybe they occasionally have a drink together at bar meetings?)
Their bar association’s rules of professional conduct are easy to find online – you don’t need Professor Turley to help you find them to read for yourself.
As just one example, here’s just one small section of those rules of professional conduct Biden’s police state fascists should be complying with after he sent them to take out Trump. And which Professor Turley could reference if he wanted to express his outrage on how they’re violating his and our cherished Bill of Rights at least as much as the J6 defendants outrage him.
Rules of Professional Conduct
Rule 3.8: Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor
https://www.dcbar.org/For-Lawyers/Legal-Ethics/Rules-of-Professional-Conduct/Advocate/Special-Responsibilities-of-a-Prosecutor
The prosecutor in a criminal case shall not:
(a) In exercising discretion to investigate or to prosecute, improperly favor or invidiously discriminate against any person;
(b) File in court or maintain a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by probable cause;
(c) Prosecute to trial a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by evidence sufficient to establish a prima facie showing of guilt;
(d) Intentionally avoid pursuit of evidence or information because it may damage the prosecution’s case or aid the defense;
(e) Intentionally fail to disclose to the defense, upon request and at a time when use by the defense is reasonably feasible, any evidence or information that the prosecutor knows or reasonably should know tends to negate the guilt of the accused or to mitigate the offense, or in connection with sentencing, intentionally fail to disclose to the defense upon request any unprivileged mitigating information known to the prosecutor and not reasonably available to the defense, except when the prosecutor is relieved of this responsibility by a protective order of the tribunal;
(f) Except for statements which are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor’s action and which serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, make extrajudicial comments which serve to heighten condemnation of the accused; or
(g) In presenting a case to a grand jury, intentionally interfere with the independence of the grand jury, preempt a function of the grand jury, abuse the processes of the grand jury, or fail to bring to the attention of the grand jury material facts tending substantially to negate the existence of probable cause.
Name ONE of those sub-sections that Jack Smith (and Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco and Judge Chutkin) didn’t repeatedly violate.
Enlist George, Dennis, or Gigi to help you out with that – we are waiting with the receipts in response.

Dear “Soloth Sar” aka Pol Pot: how wonderful to hear from one of Jack Smith’s fellow police state fascists and admirers! Are you also a fellow member of the Washington DC Bar Association? Seems the perfect place for Lavarentiy Beria style communist dictators and lawyers to hang out!
Give all of us some of your magnificent leadership skills in advising us how to write up a complaint to a DC Bar that will not even discipline their members who commit felonies like perjury and uttering false documents to Washington DC courts.
Not a single one of them disbarred! Just as Jack Smith previously was not disciplined in any way after SCOTUS unanimously threw out his last prosecution in America and declared him a threat to our republic.
That said: as you have chosen Pol Pot your avatar, here’s your chance to utilize that brilliant communist intellect to look through those subsections you’re commenting on and then declare that Jack Smith did not violate a single one of the subsections in what was quoted. It’s plain language after all – you don’t even need an Internet law school JD to read and understand it.
How many days to you require to write your declaration that Smith complied with those professional standards and your reasons for claiming that?
Your plea that nobody should point out our host never makes similar comments about his fellow Washington DC bar association members being an affront to the Constitution and Bill of Rights as he regularly expresses his dismay and affront from the three hour J6 riot and some of Trump’s comments will not be complied with.
This is not communist Cambodia, after all – despite the fact Soviet Democrats wish it were so if they can’t at least have Lavarentiy Berias doing their bidding for them.
It is quite possible to post concerns one has with Turley’s performance, just as it is possible to post concerns with Trump’s performance.
Now back to Cambodia you go, Comrade Pol Pot!

One could make a very strong argument that America’s greatest crisis of the 21st Century are military, law enforcement and intelligence personnel have no respect for their own Oath of Office – their supreme loyalty required to hold authority.
One cannot join the local police force, FBI, CIA or military without agreeing to uphold this loyalty oath governing their job authority. Apparently now even the teenage-staffed Civil Air Patrol is even required to agree to this oath as well.
By comparison, in Nazi era Germany government personnel were required to swear supreme loyalty to a single person. Therefore treason was defined as betraying loyalty to a single person (Hitler).
Unlike the USA, with a CIA, NSA and military loyal to the U.S. Constitution – prohibited from violating citizen rights by loyalty oath. Nazi Germany’s intelligence apparatus created a murderous Gestapo.
During the Cold War, the loyalty oath of the communists were to a political party. In East Germany this created a covert secret police called the “Stasi”.
Nazi Hunter, Simon Wiesenthal, once determined that Germany’s Cold War era “Stasi” was more evil than the Gestapo of World War Two. The reason why was communist era Germany practiced covert blacklisting which resulted in mass suicides. At one point East Germany supposedly stop counting blacklisting-induced suicides to avoid international embarrassment.
The United States outlawed covert blacklisting programs by then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in the 1970’s by Congress (Senator Frank Church Committee). George W. Bush restarted this foreign practice in the early 2000’s. Bush’s covert blacklisting system was potentially more lethal than J. Edgar Hoover’s program.
Everyone should pay close attention to General Mark Milley’s warning at his retirement speech accurately explaining the American Oath of Office governing police, FBI, CIA, NSA and military. Here is Milley’s warning:
“We [Americans] don’t take an oath to a country. We don’t take an oath to a tribe. We don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king or a queen or a tyrant to a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution.”
Everyone should pay close attention to General Mark Milley’s warning at his retirement speech accurately explaining the American Oath of Office governing police, FBI, CIA, NSA and military. Here is Milley’s warning:
Imagine that! A cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat wants to hold up General Milley as an example of complying with and fidelity to your oath of office. This is the same General Milley who assured his ChiCom military partner from Biden’s best customers, the ChiComs, that he would keep them informed of anything Trump did in military decisions that they might want to know about. Secretly, of course.
Same General Milley to told the military that HE would be the one they came to concerning any orders coming from the President – NOT his and their Commander In Chief, President Trump.
We should be gobsmacked that General Milley didn’t honorably resign as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff after soldiers below him in his chain of command were butchered at the airport during the horrific “withdrawal” from Afghanistan he was responsible for as the highest uniformed member of their chain of command.
Or perhaps at least honorably resigning in protest after his Commander In Chief, Joe Biden, sold his ChiCom military/intelligence customers a ticket to fly a spy balloon over the United States for a week, leisurely collecting intelligence while the noble General Milley was prevented from taking out that dangerous ChiCom spying mission.
General Milley is a wonderful avatar for Democrat integrity, honesty, and faithfully fulfilling your oath of office as either a military officer or president of the United States.
Normal people couldn’t imagine making this up and trying to sell it as the picture of nobility, honesty, and fidelity to the office you hold. But for cowardly Anonymous Democrats, this is easy!

it would be nice if this progressive stupidity would end, but of course it won’t. progressives are that stupid.
The article is precise in pointing to a SLEAZY PROSECUTOR as the beginning of any injustice in the legal system. While the SLEAZE also needs a favorable (if not willfully ignorant) venue of jurors and a Wild Eyed Judge who imagines themself as King Solomon, the engineering of a CONVICTION AT ANY COST always starts a Charles Manson type prosecutor! And what do you but that Biden and Company did exactly that with a Dingy Garland shadow game! Good riddance to Smith and I hope he teaches his sleaze techniques at Harvard or Stanford so the next generation of Dem Dirtbags can carry his LOSER LEGACY forward! Wild Eyed Dingbat Chutkan will certainly get her share of Dem cocktail party invites but she will have to carry the stain of LOSER as well.

LET THE COUNTER PROSECUTION BEGIN
Jack Smith, Al Bragg, Leticia James, Fanny Willis, Tanya Chutkan, Matthew Colangelo, Juan Merchan, Loren Merchan, Merrick Garland, Barack Obama, the Obama administration holdovers et al. conspired to wrongfully disparage and convict an innocent person, President Donald J. Trump, by fraudulent means, “lawfare,” and syndicate.
The criminal co-conspirators in this case must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for egregious electoral fraud, election interference, corruption, abuse of power, usurpation of power, breach of public trust, conspiracy et al.
The resultant penalties must be severe for the extremity of the specific crimes and for the sake of moral and general principles.
I can’t decide if this is evil or just pathetic. Surely at some level these fools see that we no longer take them seriously. I fully, 100%, support the ‘convicted felon’.
These next six days can’t pass quickly enough, and any hope of redemption for the modern democratic party is simply off the table. Forget it. Period, forever. Disgusting, but not at all out of character. Our modern left is a plague, and that is all there is to it. The rule of law means exactly zero to these cretins, and we have to take it back. I say this, again, as a lifelong independent voter. NEVER voting dem again, for anything.
Vote blue, shame on you. 🤷🏻♂️
James,
I would go with pathetic. As the good professor pointed out yesterday, Smith destroyed his own case. Was it by design or stupidity? Incompetence seems to be the common denominator of the modern Democrat party.
@Upstate
Same here, and somehow, that makes it worse. Seriously: find your brains, people, and think of someone other than yourselves. This is obviously a modern problem, but I have generational family in your area (not Manhattan; so many people fail to realize that NY is state, in addition to a city. Yes, a whole state), not wealthy, just generational, poor Irish immigrants at one time; and that the few control so much for the many in blue places is madness, when those few most certainly carry the rest. I don’t know where Liam Neeson thinks his produce comes from when he complains about someone making his tea incorrectly (this was something that happened). Perhaps a machine? A butler?
I really hope the real among us have had enough to turn this tide for good.
James,
I am of the belief that, yes, there are the real among us as evidence by the election to turn the tide. But as you note many a time, we need to stay vigilant, continue to move forward for the better. Not to get distracted by the shiny, or the lies told by MSM. We also need to not kneejerk to every situation or word uttered but wait for additional information to make a sound judgement.
James,

True criminals. As we all knew.
So you wholly support a convicted felon, a criminal. Apparently crime does pay.
So let’s rewrite this retcon for the cowardly Anonymous Democrat clown who supports President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Incest Showers:
I support and repeatedly voted for an unindicted felon currently on temporary work release probation in the White House. One whose carefully chosen employee was made Special Counsel to give him that temporary probation, while saying there were masses of evidence pointing at 40+ years of felonies just concerning the theft of and felony sharing of classified documents.
I supported him despite 170+ Suspicious Activity Reports being filed by American and foreign banks with his boss, President Obama, concerning payment of bribes and money laundering flowing into several dozen concealed LLCs to the Vice President’s pockets. And that was before Trump came along to give me an excuse!
And I supported my unindicted felon, Joe Biden because, after he magically became a multimillionaire while selling America from the White House, I do know that crime does indeed pay.
There is hope for his fellow pedophiles and groomers along with common criminals like me after all
Here’s a thought, you Anonymous Democrat coward: what if Trump is anything like you claim to be?
What if the incoming Attorney General suspends Joe Biden’s temporary parole from being forced to stand trial that Attorney General Merrick Garland provided him with?
What if a prosecutor is named to take all the evidence of those 40+ years of felonies, the evidence of bribes, money laundering, and quid pro quo, and launches a RICO prosecution of Biden and dozens of Soviet Democrats in an unbiased jurisdiction like Idaho, Montana, etc?
And this is why you cowards will only attempt to throw this crap against the wall in hopes it will stick Anonymously.

Defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth falsely claimed on Tuesday that no Chinese spy balloons flew over the country under President-elect Donald Trump’s last term.
“Chinese spy balloons were flying over the country — none of that happened under Donald Trump and our warfighters understand that,” Hegseth said.
Three Chinese spy balloons transited the continental US under the Trump administration and were undetected due to a “domain awareness gap,” according to the senior military officer responsible for air and missile defense over North America. Those balloons were not discovered until after President Joe Biden took office.
Facts? Who needs them anyway. There is a trump that needs his A$$ kissed, let’s get on with the A$$ kissing.
Can we see that in public on Jan 20? Trump takes office, pulls down his pants and all his underlings come by and kiss his A$$. Highest rated show in history no doubt.
Since you are quoting a “senior military officer responsible for air and missile defense over North America”, can you tell us his, her or its name?

Not likely. In fact, expect this to ramp up over the next four years. The modern left are wealthy and determined, adnhave shown they have exactly zero remorse. Thankfully in the U.S.A. we have the power to speak against them and stop them in their tracks. But don’t expect them to relent, they won’t. We have to triple down at the midterms, we are not even close to done yet. We may not be for a good while. We must not hesitate. Everything is on the line, and that isn’t a conservative or right wing thing – just a freedom loving peoples’ thing.
‘and have’
James,
Great comment! And your are absolutely correct that it is not a “right wing” thing but a “freedom loving people” thing. Reading the news, we can see all across the EU, freedom loving people, people of law and order are coming into power or challenging those elite, wealthy leftists. In Germany the elite, wealthy leftists are so afraid of losing power as more and more of their people stand up to them, they are trying to outlaw an entire political party that represents many of their citizens. So much for democracy. As our own leftist friends have shown us here in America.
Has justice Brown ever said anything intelligent in her entire adult life?
That’s not even close to a “justice,” that is a Frankenstein of a wholly antithetical and unconstitutional affirmative action, quotas, and general capitulation debacle, which is precisely the strategy of the communists from Lincoln through his Successors, the Progressives, Comrade General Secretary Roosevelt, Unstable LBJ, the totally Corrupt Clintons, Karl Marx’s favorite son or veritable antithesis of an American, Barack Hussein Obama, and the “Lost” Leader of the Putsch to the American Demise, Joke Biden.

The parade of horribles who are attorneys seems to be unending when it comes to the Obama-Biden axis of evil regime.
For those who are ready to quote Shakespeare on attorneys, there appear to be some good ones like Amy Chua.
There is a great article in the Free Press on Ms Chua and her experiences at Yale Law School, and mentoring law students, both Democrats and Republicans. She is also close friends with Justice Elena Kagan, and helped JD Vance launch his best seller book. This is a very upbeat article, something that the Left is incapable of authoring because everything the Left does is destructive, toxic and incendiary.
The Tiger Mother Roars Back
“It’s across the board—left wing, right wing,” Chua said of the students she’s advised. “I get a lot of immigrants.” She said she is also close with federal judges and Supreme Court justices of all political stripes. That includes the conservative Brett Kavanaugh, who Chua helped 10 of her students—eight of whom were women—land clerkships with. As well as Sonia Sotomayor, who has been dubbed the Court’s “most liberal” justice and attended the Washington, D.C., book party for Chua’s first novel, The Golden Gate.
“She has become the most important adviser and mentor of students at the Yale Law School in the entire time that I’ve been on the faculty, which is going on half a century,” said Kronman, a lifelong Democrat…….
On Inauguration Day, she’ll be in Washington with her husband—as special guests of the vice president-elect.
It’s not just J.D. It’s not just her former students who clerked for eight of the nine current Supreme Court justices (as well as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, when Jackson was still a district court judge). It’s not just that her daughters have graduated from Ivy League schools.
It’s that the ideas that Chua was pilloried for are suddenly back in fashion. “I definitely feel that, as a whole society, more people than expected are tired of feeling terrified for saying stuff,” Chua told me.

Estovir,
It’s that the ideas that Chua was pilloried for are suddenly back in fashion. “I definitely feel that, as a whole society, more people than expected are tired of feeling terrified for saying stuff,” Chua told me.
That right there. That is what this election was, a mandate to be able to say or call out the stupid and insanity for what it is. That is a dude in a dress. Math is not racist. Discrimination based on skin color is wrong. Biological men do not belong in women’s sports. Give them their own category. Being successful is not bad. Nor is striving to be better. Being proud to be an American is not bad.
Americans have come to loathe Democrats in large part b/c they are condescending, morally bankrupt, self-righteous prigs, are everything and more they accuse others to be. More importantly they have shown themselves to have zero real life experiences in what Americans are currently undergoing: exorbitant prices for groceries, utilities, fear of crime like never before and Americans tagged based on identify politics. Democrats aren’t just out of touch: they are contemptible.
Imagine millions of Gigi’s parading up and down the streets across America (like whοrεs wearing repugnant perfume and indecent clothing), demanding attention, and lecturing people about morality and being virtuous.
Estovir,
Good imagery. But now with the election of Trump, they can parade as much as they want, no one will show up to watch the hot mess they are.
MARCH PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY TO MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD
_________________________________________________________________________________
President Donald J. Trump’s overriding admonition on Jan. 6:
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
The incitement to riot was perpetrated by the FBI et al.
But that is not what they did is it?
You are referencing BLM ANTIFA. They are violent terrorists indeed
That’s right, Turley, keep shoveling chum to the disciples–the problem is Jack Smith, not Trump–that’s the message, and the goons got it. Ignore the facts–Trump STOLE classified documents, LIED about returning them, returned some, HID others to prevent their return, and stored them in unsecure locations. We don’t know and can’t know who might have taken some, copied them or into whose hands the sensitive information might have been passed. And why were the documents stolen? Did he need them? What for? The answer is Trump’s mental illness–no one can tell the Trumpster he can’t have something–no one. And, no one can tell the Trumpster that he can’t keep something he took. It’s called “malignant narcissism”. And, it’s sick to ignore it or to try to blame Jack Smith for prosecuting Trump for his conduct. No one else could get away with what he’s done.
Trump also fomented the BIG LIE, by pushing his fans to attack the Capitol, after he couldn’t bully Mike Pence into refusing to accept certified votes even though multiple investigations, recounts, audits, etc proved he lost. This was after he couldn’t bully Secretaries of State to falsify vote totals. IGNORE the Capitol Police Officers who were injured–one lost an eye, several lost fingers, several were attacked with bear spray in their eyes, others received bruises, abrasions and other painful injuries–but today’s message is JACK SMITH IS WRONG. No, Turley YOU are wrong–and you should be ashamed to lend your name to such a farce. Trump got away with committing crimes against the United States of America. He got away with starting an insurrection that resulted in several Capitol Police Officers committing suicide over the lack of gratitude for their bravery in the face of an angry mob motivated by the lies of a sore loser, just trying to protect members of Congress, which was their job. All of a sudden, the Capitol Police are the bad guys. Another upshot–not only did one of his followers get killed trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby–Trump has been in contact with the victim’s mother and has somehow convinced her that Babbitt didn’t do anything wrong. If that’s not sick, I don’t know what qualifies. Babbitt is dead because Trump is a big, fact LIAR.
If Trump was in the right, as you are trying to claim then WHY didn’t he just proceed to trial instead of trying to delay, delay, delay? Oh, that’s right–you gave us the answer to that one, too–Judge Chutkan and the (according to Turley) jury pool who would have been prejudiced against Trump. More of the Us vs. Them theme promoted by MAGA media that you have chosen to advocate for. You make me sick, Turley-ashamed to be a lawyer. You undermine the confidence of citizens in the justice system with your purchased rhetoric.
The big lie?!?
Ah Mr. Wrey, how many FBI assets were at the Capitol on Jan 6th?
Um, well there was, well I can’t really, you see what happened was… Oh I know, we’ll discuss that in closed session, yeah, that’s it.
DID TRUMP WIN IN 2020? IF SO, WHERE IS THE PROOF? THAT IS THE BIG LIE. How many people who smashed windows, broke down doors, battered Capitol Police officers, defecated, urinated and destroyed Capitol property were members of the FBI? How many people falsified Electoral College documents claiming that Trump won in their state when he didn’t? HOW OR WHY IS ANY OF THIS ACCEPTABLE AND WHY SHOULD TRUMP GET AWAY WITH IT? Answer these questions.
One big factor is MAGA media–that spreads Trump lies–bought and paid for by billionaires who are about to see their wishes come true–they can pump their pollutants into our air and waters with with abandon and face no consequences, huge agribusiness outfits can allow chicken, cow, pig and other waste to pollute our aquifers, they can just spray our fruits and vegetables with whatever chemicals they want, meat can be dyed and contain chemicals, consumers can get cheated, banks and credit card companies don’t have to be accountable, airlines can once again charge you for changing reservations when your flight gets cancelled–just a few examples–because consumer and environmental protections will go away. Then, there will be the tax breaks for the wealthiest, paid for by taking away school lunches from poor kids and cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is what billionaires purchased with MAGA media, and if you are not an American oligarch, you have been deceived by all of the MAGA and culture war BS to get you to vote for Trump. To get you on board, they have to sell Trump to you, which is Turley’s role. What Trump did is indefensible, so Turley is trying to sell the idea that Jack Smith is the bad guy here. At the end of the day, the average American will suffer–tariffs will increase the cost of everything that is imported, including component parts for appliances and cars, electronics and some fruits and vegetables. Inflation will go up.
@Gigi
Most likely, yes. And this is a perfect example of modern dem stupidity and short sightedness: had they let Trump win in 2020, he’d be done now. Two terms for POTUS. You are an idjit. So is the entire modern left writ large. This does not make the rest of us, who are the majority, make no mistake, somehow ‘far right’. Pbbblt.
Because you all are tone deaf, morally bankrupt, and blind, you instead unleashed a backlash against yourselves that will likely last for decades. Congrats on what is the most severe political reckoning our country has seen since the 19th century, because that is what you ‘accomplished’. And the daily harping only reinforces that every single time you show up. Count on it. The Obama/Soros era is unequivocally *over*.
If you are a paid troll, and I don’t know, you might just be mental, privileged, and bored; your job is not going to be viable for much longer. 🤷🏻♂️
James: WHY do you believe that “stupid” Dems didn’t “let Trump win”? And, MAGA is NOT anything close to the majority. Everyone who voted for Trump was not MAGA–a substantial number of people believed his lie that he would immediately bring down the cost of groceries. Even with this deliberate lie, he did not even receive 1/2 of the popular vote. 2020 is one of the worst chapters in American history–a losing candidate who viewed his loss as nothing but an obstacle to be overcome. When he couldn’t bully or litigate his way to stay in power, he lied to his followers and got them to attack the Capitol, batter police officers and try to get to the floor of the House to stop Biden’s victory from being certified. He specifically said he didn’t care that they were hunting down the VP–read Jack Smith’s report. He even got people in Republican states he lost to commit felonies by filing false Electoral College documents. These are facts.
How can you simultaneously believe that Democrats are both stupid and yet able to manipulate the vote when, in 2020, 26 states were run by Republicans?
You keep claiming people voted for Trump as you say he said he would lower grocery prices. Yet, there is not one single poll that reflects that. You just keep repeating the same lie over and over again. People voted for Trump as they know full well life was better for them under the Trump admin prior to the COVID lockdowns. People know full well they are suffering under Bidenomics and Bidenflation and will do so for the coming years. As I have stated many times here on the good professor’s blog, we will all be suffering under Bidenflation and failed Biden economic policies for years if not a decade. It will take a second Trump admin, and two terms of a Vance admin to fix what Biden has messed up. You were better off under a Trump admin prior to the COVID lockdowns than under the Biden admin. And you know it.
Excerpted from “CNN”, 11/14/2024:
“Americans are shelling out 22% more for groceries compared to when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to October Consumer Price Index inflation data. While wages finally began to outpace the rate at which food prices were rising last year and have continued to, Americans have, understandably, been enraged at how much it’s costing them to feed themselves.
Voters took those feelings with them to the ballot box, where they delivered President-elect Donald Trump an overwhelming victory.
A stunning 96% of voters said “high prices for gas, groceries and other goods” factored in to how they cast their ballots, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 registered voters conducted from October 30 to November 5. Among the 40% of people who named that issue the single-most important factor driving their decision, nearly two-thirds voted for President-elect Donald Trump.
The bout in food inflation over the last few years stems from many sources, including the pandemic; the war in Ukraine, which propped up wheat prices, a key input for many foods; as well as energy prices, which had made it more costly to transport food. With some of these pressure points softening, food prices have cooled to rates comparable to before the pandemic.
However, people hoping to see their grocery receipts go down may have to brace for the exact opposite once Trump starts his second term. Here’s what going on:”
Life was NOT better under Trump–the US was in a recession that HE helped cause with his lack of leadership, and that’s why prices were so low–consumer demand was down because people were out of work. COVID was out of control. Just more chum shoveled by MAGA media.
Exactly. Bidenflation is why so many people voted for Trump. And you continue to ignore the fact that life was good for everyone under Trump up till the COVID lockdowns. That Bidenomics and Bidenflation are why so many people are hurting now. Biden did not do anything to recover the economy. It was Red States who re-opened their economies who lead the economic recovery. CA and NY were dead last in their recovery. Biden did not create any jobs. Those jobs were there. Just shut down by the COVID lockdowns. Red States lead the recovery. Then Biden injected billions of dollars in stimulus that fueled Bidenflation into a already recovering economy. Larry Summers even said as a result of Biden’s economic policies, we would see inflation at a scale we have not seen in generations. He was right. We are all suffering under Bidenflation and will continue for years if not a decade. I will be here to remind you of that fact on a regular basis.
It is not Trump’s job to prove he won.
The requirement for an election is for the STATE to conduct the election according to the law and to PROVE who the winning candidate is.
A challenge is only supposed to require evidence – that it is more likely than not that the election was conducted unlawfully or that there was sufficient fraud to cast doubt on the result.
The majority of americans have doubts about the result of the 2020 election. Probably more so given that nearly 10M “votes” disappeared between 2020 and 2024.
This is not about how many people are certain trump won ad how many are certain biden won.
Probably a majority do not fall into either group.
Even if 50% of the country beleives it is more likely that Biden won that Trump,
If all that 50% are not nearly 100% sure – then then the govenrment does not have the consent of the governed.
Those of you on the left are constantly fighting voter integrtity measures ranting loonily about racism or other couch potato nonsense.
But election intergity is absolutely critical.
The state is NOT obligated to deliver to each voter their prefered outcome.
But the state is absolutely reuired to deliver trustworthy result.
It undeniably failed to do that in 2020.
Wore still – we still have the legacy of alot of that lawlessness.
While many states of undone the lawless nonsense that they pushed in 2020.
We still have mailin elections in states where they are unconstitutional.
Unatteded ballot boxes in states that are not allowed to have voter accessible ballot boxes at all.
No or weak implimentation of voter ID in states that require voter ID.
It will likely take decades to clean up the mess that those of you on the left made of elections in a few short months.
It will take years to restore peoples trusts in elections.
YOU DID THAT
@John
Nope! And well said. There is no hope for those with terminal TDS, though I think the likes of Gigi are just ephemeral propaganda, personally. Regardless, your words ring true.
Trump ran into a major issue with his challenge—he didn’t have any evidence to back it up. Even Rudy admitted in court that there was nothing to show.
Just throwing out allegations isn’t proof, and hearsay doesn’t count either. Trump stirred up doubt about the election because he wanted to shake people’s trust. It’s a lot easier to create skepticism than actually prove his claims. The distrust all started with him, not the Democrats.
Funny enough, Trump voted by mail twice himself. So, should his votes even count? Some states have been voting entirely by mail for years with no problems at all.
The major issue Trump ran into was courts abdicating responsibility.
Not a signle Trump court challenge addressed evidence. There was not a single court that held hearings or allowed the admission of evidence.
No rudy did not admit to the courts there was nothing to show.
You left wing nuts constantly just make things up.
Actually hearsay does count, all hearsay is not admissible, but an awful lots is. There are enough exceptions to the rules on hearsay to drive a truck through.
But the majority of Trump’s evidence was not hearsay.
But the big problem was that though Trump and republican KNEW that democrats gamed the rules. They did not actualy know the specitics of how Democrats cheated to win in 2020.
While there are lots of problems with DVS and the electronic tabulators are very vulnerable and need checks, Powell and several others went off in the wrong direction beleiving that DVS had rigged the election. While we could have better evidence thatn we do – what we have from Antrim county, Windham ounty, and Maricpoa county audits shows that the claim that DVS flipped the election was mostly false. There is some evidence from GA becfore the investigation was shutdown of malfeasance in the operator review of alleged ballot errors. But the bigger tabulator related evidence is that in GA there is evidence that the same ballots were scanned and counted over and over. But again even that was not the big problem in the election.
The Big problem – atleast 800,000 ballots in 6 states and possibly as much as 2M is illegal ballot harvesting. That was not really understood until late 2021 with the results of TTV gathering ballot box video and geofencing data – though statistical analysis by John Lott and Navaro showed that in all the swing states the 6 cities that had massive late night ballot dumps, also had massive voting trend flips that did not mast past trends, and did not match trend elsewhere in the same states and throughout the country.
Biden for the most part UNDERPERFORMED clinton – except in those crucial cities were he massively over performed.
He did this despite never showing up.
It is still an open question whether the 800K illegally harvested ballots were fakes – put together in boiler rooms by democratic NGOs
or whether they are just part of a coercive and illegal GOTV effort where politicaloperatives chased down voters in their homes and twisted their arms to vote correctly and then took their ballots and made sure they were deposited into balot boxes.
It does not matter alot – BOTH activities are illegal. Democrats confessed to the latter in the NYT article on how they won.
Why did Trump win in 2024 ? While he got a few more votes than in 2020.
The primary way Trump won was to thwart Democrat ballot harvesting. 260,000 volunteers and 8000 election lawyers were deployed almost exclusively to this swig cities.
And what was the effect – a massive drop in mailin voting – not overall, but SPECIFICALLY from those cities that were bucking trends from every other election.
Had Harris been able to “inject” or “harvest” the same 2M ballots from Detroit, Millwaukee, Atlanta, Philadelhia, Las Vega, and Pheonix, as Biden managed she would have won the election.
Trump won in 2024 because Republicans had 4 years to figure out how democrats stole the election, and they succeeded in thwarting it.
Biden beleives he would have won in 2024, because he is too demented to understand he only won in 202 because of fraud.
He beleives th millions of missing votes are real, and that they would have come out for him.
And they wuld have but for Republicans upping their election integrity game.
John Say,
Great take down of the slow and dumb one!! Well done!
Trump ran into a major issue with his challenge
The unending fatal challenge George has with this is that he has no credibility and is known as and considered to be a pathological Democrat liar.
One who gives “No Joke, Man” Biden a run for the title of who’s the worst liar
George, can’t you at least try to be more innovative and entertaining with your lies?
Old Airborne Dog
According to Chris Krebs, Trump’s own head of cybersecurity, 2020 was the most-secure election in US history. Trump fired him for telling this truth. The 2020 election results WERE trustworthy–only you gullible MAGA goons believe otherwise because you believe the slop served to you by MAGA media, set up and run by billionaires to benefit them financially. There is absolutely NO proof of widespread voter fraud in 2020. You say mail in ballots that were necessitated because Trump let COVID get out of control were “unconstitutional”—but does that invalidate the results–did dead people vote, did people vote twice–was there any provable fraud? No. So what is ballot boxes were “unattended” or not allowed–how does that prove fraud? Were any of these MAGA talking points investigated to determine whether they affected the outcome? Yes–and there was no proof of widespread fraud. Polls predicted the outcome- Biden would win, and he did. You say it us “undeniable” that the results in 2020 were not trustworthy–that’s because you are a MAGA, and no quantum of evidence will shake your faith. You also forget how bad Trump did pretending to be president–country shut down, schools not open, businesses, churches and restaurants closed down, people working from home, new daily records for deaths and infections, the country in recession. America had enough of Trump and we put him out. That’s when all of the new MAGA media started–to push back, to try to sell Trump, to publish lies, conspiracy theories, attack Democrats, undermine Joe Biden and his accomplishments, to push culture wars–to divert attention away from the truth. MAGA media will continue to do these things as Trump once again screws up our economy, our relations with our allies, play politics, gives tax breaks to the wealthiest, rolls back regulations, and enacts tariffs that will drive inflation upward. But, MAGA media will feed you lies about all of this, try to blame Democrats, and you will believe it.
Yeah, sure, nearly 6.25M is “nearly 10M”. Exaggeration does make your point so very much more convincingly.
2024 Election – Democrats donations approx 10B. Republican donations approx. 6B.
Do I need to list the billionaires for Harris ?
“they can pump their pollutants into our air and waters with with abandon and face no consequences”
Poluting the air and water are a tort. Eliminating all the regulations in existance will not change that.
What is the difference between a tort ad regulation ? To win a tort you must prove harm. Regulation is a priori. You cdo not have to prove anything.
“huge agribusiness outfits can allow chicken, cow, pig and other waste to pollute our aquifers”
And again you can sue if they do.
In the real world there are very few recycling and waste regualtions that apply to businesses – why ?
Because int he real world the best thing that business can do with waste is turn ito into a product.
When a mexican farmer takes a chicken from his flock and has it for dinner 50% of that chicken ends up in the trash.
When a checken enters a tyson factory – 98% comes out the other end as product.
Ranging from nugets to dog foood to fertilizer.
“they can just spray our fruits and vegetables with whatever chemicals they want”
and if those chaemicals harm anyone they can be sued – it is called a tort.
“meat can be dyed”
To be clear – coloring your hair is legal, coloring meat is not ?
What do you care if it is good and healthy ?
“contain chemicals”
If those chemicals cause harm – you can sue.
BTW Salt is a chemical. amino acids are chemcals. Everything is made of “chemicals”
“consumers can get cheated”
Again actually cheating is a tort, and in many cases also a crime.
“banks and credit card companies don’t have to be accountable”
Of course they do – they and all businesses are accountable to you.
If your bank or credit card companydoes something you do not like sufficiently – you will go elsewhere.
“airlines can once again charge you for changing reservations when your flight gets cancelled”
They can, and when they do, you can pick a different airline.
The airlines were deregulated by none other than Pres. Jimmy Carter, and it was wildly successful.
The price of airtravel declined dramatically, the perqs declined. Airlines shifted to focuse on low cost and not elegance.
People want both – but as you can tell from the prevalence of fast food resturaunts. People want cheap more than they want luxury.
“because consumer and environmental protections will go away. ”
That is impossible. the protection of consumers and the environment is by free markets – not government.
“there will be the tax breaks for the wealthiest”
So lets have a flat tax. Same rate for everyone.
“by taking away school lunches from poor kids”
Why is government buying anyone else lunch ?
We have an epidemic of obesity particularly in poor minority children.
Stopping government paid school lunchs would improve kids health.
“if you are not an American oligarch, you have been deceived by all of the MAGA”
ROFL
Who controlls WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, ….. ?
With exptremely few exceptions the media is a gigantic left wing nut wasteland shilling leftist garbage that does not work.
What you are calling MAGA media is growing BECAUSE the left wing nut MSM is failing.
You rant about MAGA Billionaries in the media – yet often the same people you are ranting about have been subsizing leftist garbage for decades.
The left has Ruined LAT, WaPo and NYT – which used to be the best papers in the world – even if they had a slight left tilt.
The left has ruined nearly all the Cable and network news.
People are not flocking to Fox because they are enthralled by Murdock. They do so because the rest of the MSM sucks.
They are moving from Wapo and NYT and … to Substack, because Wapo, …. suck.
Myriads of people – some former MSM hosts like Kelly and Carlson – some new media people are doing incredibly well,
Because they are delivering the quality that the MSM does not.
Get over yourself on the “culture wars”
The left won, and THEN you went way too far.
No one is taking peoples ACTUAL civil rights away because they are gay or trans, or whatever.
The backlash means that you can not FORCE others to endorse your lifestyle, compell their speech by force,
or indoctrinate their kids.
If you are adult what you do con-sensually with other adults in private – is your business.
No one cares.
But you can not perve mutilate or beat up kids.
Regardless, if you do not think that is important – then why did you try to FORCE it on people.
Excess wokeness is the single most important reason you lost the election.
You went too far. No one made you do that – you did it to yourself.
“To get you on board, they have to sell Trump to you,”
False, but if true – so what ?
Are you saying the left was not selling “momala” or the “vibe” election ?
You gathered celebrity endorsements by the truckload,
you brought celebrites on stage to sing and dance,
You went on Oprha townhalls, and whose your daddy.
Are you saying FHarris was not being sold to us ?
Your mad because voters bought the guy you called Hitler.
The “convicted felon”
Voters did buy some things, and they did not buy others.
They did NOT buy what you were selling.
” Turley is trying to sell the idea that Jack Smith is the bad guy here”
Because he is – nor i that anything new. Jack Smith has always been a bad guy – long before Trump.
So BTW have Mueller, Comey, and myriads of other of your lawfare and deep state heros.
” At the end of the day, the average American will suffer–tariffs will increase the cost of everything that is imported, including component parts for appliances and cars, electronics and some fruits and vegetables. Inflation will go up.”
If any of that is consequentually true – like democrats in 2016 and in 2024 – Republicans will get obliterated in 2026, and 2028.
Voters placed a bet that is false.
You rant about how great the stockmarket is. The stock market shot up dramatically as the election approached when it was clear Republicans were going to win the trifecta.
Myriads of things have improved just because Trump will soon be president.
I will predict that outside of China there will be little in the way of tarrif changes.
But to avoid that other nations will make beneficial concessions to the US.
The EU has already agreed to dramatically increase US LNG purchases.
Mexico – Not Biden has closed the US border.
World leaders are renewing their relations with Trump.
While there is alot still to do, Trump has already accomplished or strted to accomplish many things.
America is back.
Cutting government spending is going to be very difficult.
This is not argentina the US is not ready for drastic cuts – even if we know we need them.
But cutting government spending is a huge deal. It is the proximate cause of inflation.
Worse it is an exponential thing before Biden we were paying about 100B/yr in interest on the national debt
Now it is close to $1T. Bringing interest rates down WITHOUT increasing inflation is critical.
That REQUIRES serious spending cuts.
The other HUGE factor is getting REAL economic growth – not 29% growth in 4 years with 23% inflation.
We want 14% growth with NO inflation. That too will help solve the national debt problem.
Today the Federal government is 25% of the economy. centuries of economic data tell us that standard of living rises fastest if ALL governemnt (not just the Fed) is less than 20% of GDP. Government spending is not a problem if it is a small portion of the economy.
John Say,
Another great take down!
She rants and raves in her fevered TDS rage about some billionaires starting so-called MAGA media, yet never actually names them. American’s are switching off MSM for all the lies and gaslighting for independent media like Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Sharyl Attkisson, all the good people at The Free Press. I would not call any of them MAGA media. I would call them independent, objective, real journalists. Something most of MSM cannot claim. And that is why MSM is losing their audience and that audience is flocking to independent media. They do not want to be lectured what to think or that they are bad for not following the DNC talking points and propaganda as put out by MSM. That is the real problem woke leftists have with us. We do not just blindly believe whatever MSM tells us. We have the capacity for independent thought. Critical thinking. We question. We have our own common sense. While they do not. And that is what upsets them.
Spot on, but it’s a cult. In 2 years when his lack of insight causes a crashing economy and the 2026 election results are in, trump will exhort his minions to drink the kool aid because they are all coming to get him. trump killed 1,000,000 with his failed COVID policies, how many will drink the kool aid when the time comes?
it’s cute when you reply to your own comments.
The Big Lie is Biden was “sharp as a tack!” just before the Democrats staged a coup and replaced him with Harris as their presidential candidate. MSM keep up this Big Lie until it was too obvious to all it was a lie. Those of us who were paying attention and do not watch MSM knew this as far back as 2020 when Biden was campaigning from the basement.
Gigi
must you keep reposting the same repeatedly debunked garbage.
Even Jack Smith has not alleged that Trump STOLE classified documents.
If you can not get that right – why shoudl anyone beleive the rest of what you say ?
Even Jack Smith in THIS REPORT notes that the legal standard for incitment CAN NOT BE MET – changing the word to foment does not change the problem.
I would note that incitement issue is NOT about insufficient evidence, it is about THE LAW.
We KNOW what Trump did and said and BY LAW it is NOT incitement – so says Jack Smith.
As to Pence – please review the 1960 Presidential election.
Nixon won the election in Hawaii and was certified, and the Republicans in HI sent electors to vote in the EC which they did.
Subsequently the DNC discovered tabulation errors that when corrected resulted in a Kennedy Vicotry in Hawaii.
The DNC then put together its own slate of electors who voteed on the correct days for Kenedey and their EC votes were forwaarded to congress.
THEN the DNC took HI to court, won, and the state certified Kenedy as the vicor and a NEW record of the EC votes of electors with the new state certification was transported to congress by air to get it to congress by J6
VP Nixon was VP and therefore the president of the senate and the person require by law and constitution to present the count.
He had 3 separate certified slates of electors and 3 separate tabulations of their votes and two separate documents from Hawaii each certifying a different result.
Nixon picked the DNC slate and the state certification of the DNC slate. He explained at the time why he had made that choice.
But what is most critical is that HE made the choice. The congress at the time had the power to override his choice,
But inarguably the VP had the power to make that choice.
John Eastman has publicly stated that when asked – by Trump and Pence int eh WH whether Pence vould pick between Republican slates of electors from contested states and democrats. That eastmen told Pence and Trump that he could, but of the 9 scenarios he proposed – 5 of which resulted in Biden being certified, this was the poorest choice.
That while it was perfectly constitutional, that with near certainty in each instance a representative and a senator would object and congress would vote to rreject Pences choice.
Eastman’s advice – which was being advocated by a number of other Republican senators was have congress delay certification by 10 days, and have each contested state legislature hold hearings and determine which slate of electors to present to congress – that best follows the constitution.
There are several key points here – that what happened in Hawaii in 1960 make clear.
challenging the states certification of an election – even successfully is NOT enough.
Had Democrats NOT appointed their own slate of electors, Hawaii would have been counted for Nixon or not counted at all.
While congressmen can object – possibly even successfully to a slate of electors from a give state.
If successful those EC votes are voided. They do NOT go to the other candidate absent the existance of a slate of electors for that candidate having voted as required by law being presented before congress.
None other than Alan Derschowitz has confirmed that in 2000 the Democrats in florida not only challenged the certification of florida, but had prepared their own slate of alternate electors.
There is no such thing as faux electors. They are alternates. Gore could have prevailed in court and still lost the election in 2000 if he did not have an alternate slate of electors who had voted on the day perscribed by congress.
all the “fake electors cases will die either when they hit federal courts or in those federal district courts are that stupid, when they get to SCOTUS.
If any of these cases makes it to the supreme court they will lose 9-0.
While alternate electors scenarios are rare, they have happened on several occasions in the past, and on both 1960 and 1876 congress went with the alternates.
The claim that VP Pence could not accept whatever slate he wanted is false. Had he done so congress likely would have rejected his choice.
But it was fully in his constitutional power to do so.
John Say,
Well said and thank you for the history lesson.
“ Even Jack Smith has not alleged that Trump STOLE classified documents.”
We don’t know that yet and neither do you. Let’s wait until the classified documents report is released.
The alternate electors Trump was poised to use all used false documentation of their legitimacy. They were not properly certified and some had purely forged documents. Not exaclty…lawful.
If Smith got to trial with his evidence we would have been able to see exactly how it was going to transpire.
If Smith got to trial with his evidence we would have been able to see exactly how it was going to transpire.
You could have gotten your wish if AG Garland hadn’t disagreed with your belief these is something there. But after Jack Smith was given the boot due to being an illegitimate fraud, his boss Attorney General Garland chose to abandon the prosecution of Trump instead of appointing a replacement Special Counsel to continue the prosecution. Or even just any federal prosecutor.
There’s a reason Garland as head police state fascist abandoned the prosecution rather than continuing it so you could see what would happen next.
I have a better idea to see what hasn’t been seen: The new Attorney General revokes the temporary work release probation that the Special Counsel who discovered DECADES of Biden criminality gave to that inindicted criminal with a swift prosecution and criminal trial of Bribery Biden for his decades of Democrat political criminal felonies.
Montana and Wyoming would appear to be faithful replica venues of Equal Justice For All trials such as that served out in Washington DC.
But no: here’s George again, making a forlorn appeal that his Lavarentiy Beria style persecutor, Jack Smith, should be considered to be a legitimate Special Counsel.
I have an idea for George: let’s see the specifics of what Obama and now Biden have had the FBI cover up of Biden White House Crime, LLC.
George! Surely a Soviet Democrat police state fascist has SOME interest in at least the 170+ Suspicious Activity Reports were filed with Obama (and ignored) by American and foreign banks reporting Biden bribes and money laundering? Mexican drug cartels don’t pile up that many! $40+ MILLION dollars while Vice President!
An George! Surely you want to see the mountains of evidence Special Counsel Hur found relating to 40+ years of felonies relating to classified documents, well before Trump, when then Senator Biden was stealing and selling to the highest bidder.
No, you don’t want to see that George. Instead you want to deflect to attempting yet another BBBBUUUUTTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!
Mocking you is about as hard as Biden drowning baby kittens, George.
Old Airborne Dog
Not properly certified…wasn’t that a same problem for Jack Smith? He wasn’t appointed by Congress as required but positioned by Biden lap dog Garland?
Gigi “the big lie” is pretty much anything you say.
Gigi, please provide the names of the officers who lost eyes or fingers, or ….
We get lots of these idiotic claims. I beleive the officer who purportedly lost fingers was caught on video AFTER the conflict was over in the capitol with all fingers intact.
There are several officers whose testimony has been directly contradicted by the Capitol video that has eventually come out.
There are also several officers who have said there was no isurrection and that things were mostly peaceful, whose testimony ha been confirmed by video.
One ranking officer has called J6 a Coup conducted by the Capital police 2nd in command against Cheif Sund – basically setting him up on J6 to get his job.
Rather than spray us all with idiotic claims – most of which were thoroughly debunked.
How about actual evidence ? There is 50,000 plus hours of video – you should be able to find something that incontrovertably supports your claims if they are true.
Here is a preliminary report from the website “Police One”, 1/28/21–there were more injuries reported later on:
“WASHINGTON — The physical toll of the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol continues to grow for law enforcement. According to The Washington Post, about 140 officers were injured in the violent siege.
“I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” said the Capitol Police officer’s union chairman, Gus Papathanasiou, in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.”
According to The Post, 65 D.C. police officers suffered concussions, swollen ankles and wrists, bruises, and irritated lungs from pepper spray. Officers were pushed down stairs, trampled and punched. 81 Capitol police officers were assaulted during the siege, but the extent of their injuries was not detailed in reports.
“The officers are angry, and I don’t blame them. The entire executive team failed us, and they must be held accountable,” he said. “Their inaction cost one officer his life, and we have almost 140 responding officers injured. They have a lot to atone for.”
The union chairman also said that 38 Capitol Police employees have tested positive for COVID-19 since the attack. Almost all of them had responded to the riot.
Three officers lost their lives amid the aftermath of the attack. U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from injuries sustained during the siege and two others died by suicide in the weeks after: D.C. Police Officer Jeffrey Smith and U.S. Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood.”
Excerpted from “Wikipedia”:
“Participants in the civil disorder[c] and responders had been injured in the struggle. There were 138 officers (73 Capitol Police and 65 Metropolitan Police) injured,[76] of whom 15 were hospitalized, some with severe injuries.[77] All had been released from the hospital by January 11.[78]
Shortly after 2:00 p.m., several rioters attempted to breach a door on the West Front of the Capitol. They dragged three D.C. Metro police officers out of formation and down a set of stairs, trapped them in a crowd, and assaulted them with improvised weapons (including hockey sticks, crutches, flags, poles, sticks, and stolen police shields) as the mob chanted “police stand down!” and “USA!”.[79] At least one of the officers was also stomped.[80]
Some rioters beat officers on the head with lead pipes,[81] and others used chemical irritants, stun guns, fists, sticks, poles and clubs against the police. Some trampled and stampeded police, pushed them down stairs or against statues or shone laser pointers into their eyes. One D.C. Metro officer was hit six times with a stun gun, was beaten with a flagpole, suffered a mild heart attack, and lost a fingertip.[78][82] Three officers were hit on their heads by a fire extinguisher allegedly thrown by a retired firefighter.[83][84][85]
According to the Capitol Police officers’ union chairman, multiple officers sustained traumatic brain injuries. One had two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs; another lost an eye.[86] One was stabbed with a metal fence stake, and another lost three fingers.[87] One was crushed between a door and a riot shield while defending the west side of the Capitol with other officers against rioters; he later had headaches he believed stemmed from a concussion.[88]”
in her last paragraph, gigi says, “You make me sick, Turley-ashamed to be a lawyer.”
Didn’t I tell her her behavior would get uglier?
We REAL lawyers are ashamed to have her on this site, ruining it for us too.
That’s right, Turley, keep shoveling chum to the disciples
Gigi’s here again! Desperately seeking work after Hunter Biden made her a star in his laptop that she claims is just Putin election campaign disinformation.
She’s back from claiming she was an RN a few days ago, now claiming again that she’s a Democrat lawyer!

Gigi’s meandering vitriol is confusing enough as it is. She just makes it worse as she jumps back and forth between claiming she’s a Democrat lawyer like Jack Smith, then claiming she’s actually an RN, with various periods of claiming she’s a professional family counselor.
That’s three supposed professions right there, along with the others.
It would help if this unemployed back alley whore made famous by Hunter Biden would pick just one supposed profession she belongs to in order to simplify her lies.
Pete Hegseth side-stepped questioning during his confirmation hearing about alcohol consumption.
Look, it doesn’t matter. Questions about his alcohol consumption have no bearing on his ability to do the job. There is only 1 criteria, kiss trumps A$$. Anybody can do that when drunk. Heck, it’s probably the only way most people do it.
I’d need a large dose of anti-nausea medicine and lots of cash to even consider approaching that big, fat, a$$.
A finger in the light socket fixed Fetterman. Just saying…
You need serious psychological help, meds, and maybe shock therapy for your TDS.
giggles clearly has a fat problem. She once mentioned that she talked to her doctor about being overweight. She uses “fat” in her descriptions of others====often! Projection, know thy name!
I think it’s vital that we continue to dissect this aberration, but what’s truly a shame, is that Justice Scalia is no longer with us. Because I’m quite certain he would have thoroughly bagged this one by now. At the very heart of this is the fact, abundantly clear to all, that Jack Smith was illegally appointed. And we continue to circumvent, overlook, miss this forest for the trees, why? Because politics! Smith’s report is meaningless, it is of zero value, it is not an official document, because he does not, did not, have the authority to so prosecute or produce such a report. This is just another many million dollar boondoggle, from which many quite obviously profit, at the expense of who? All those who “work,” who pay taxes, and have zero interest in politics beyond economic self-defense.
@betuadollar: I believe you’re correct regarding Justice Scalia.
I also think that if Republicans had come up with a single collective set of balls amongst them to challenge Merrick Garland and Smith’s former persecution partner (and now Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco) about Jack Smiths’ record in the previous Democrat president’s reelection campaign and why they were telling Americans it was acceptable, we would not have had a return engagement from Jack Smith.
Perhaps they would have found a similar police state fascist like Andrew Weissman… but it wouldn’t have been Smith.
Old Airborne Dog
I would advise Smith, and perhaps Chutkan too, to make tracks. The Glorious Restoration is upon us. Unless, of course, every single facet of their personal and professional lives are absolutely consistent with every available law. Otherwise a place with no extradition treaty would be a smart choice.
Hegseth responded that he has “never disparaged” women who serve in the military, and said he had “personal experience” of instances of standards being lowered, pointing to examples he was told by others while writing his book “The War on Warriors.”
He did not provide a specific example of standards being lowered to bring women into units, when pushed by Gillibrand to do so.”
Facts are hard to come by when you make sh!t up.
“Standards have been changed inside infantry training units” Hegseth said, “Ranger School, infantry battalions to ensure that commanders —”
“Give me one example,” Gillibrand said. “Please give me an example. I get that you’re making this generalized statements—”
“Commanders meet quotas to have a certain number of female infantry officers or infantry enlisted and that disparages those women who are incredibly capable of meeting that standard,” Hegseth continued.
“Commanders do not have quotas for the infantry,” Gillibrand responded.
“Commanders do not have to have a quota for women in the infantry. That does not exist. It does not exist,” she added. “And your statements are creating the impression that that these exist because they do not. There are not quotas, we want the most lethal force.”
hegseth gave Gllibrand an example. She challenged that example.
Instead of a he said she said, why not check the evidence ?
Claiming something is true does not make it so.
Claiming something is false does not make that so either.
Wait a minute. Are you saying Hegseth should not be the Sec Def? He has done such an admirable job elsewhere, such as…
The New Yorker reported last month that Hegseth was pushed out as the head of the advocacy organizations amid internal allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct.
Ohh wait, wrong example…
Margaret Hoover, a CNN political commentator who was an adviser to Vets for Freedom between 2008 and 2010, told CNN’s Erin Burnett in November that Hegseth ran the organization “very poorly” and lost donors’ confidence. She said the organization had fewer than 10 employees and a budget of less than $10 million.
I’m sure he’ll do just fine after failing to lead a $10 million organization lead an $800 Billion Plus organization. Just fine.
So does the CNN political comentator have a business management degree ?
Why exactly are we supposed to buy the opinion of a CNN political comentator ?
I ran a business with 55 employees for 20 years – our budget was 3.5M.
Most of the Biden appointees – most political appointees have ZERO experience in management.
What did Biden manage as a senator that qualified him to be VP ? What did he manage as a VP to qualify him to be President ? Trump ran multiple multibillion dollar enterprises. If business management experience is what matters – no one in government in any role has ever had more management expereince that Trump.
And honestly very few had had Hegseth’s experience.
I will be happy to require that political appointments in the future must demonstrate managment experience in organizations comporable in scale to those they are being appointed to.
that would get rid of 99% of political appointments in my lifetime.
No running a $10M organization is not the same as running DoD.
If that is the standard then – we are limited to Bezos, and Musk.
But it is a far cry better than those who have never had to make a payroll or balance a check book or stick to a budget.
I think we need more people who make sure the fire hyrdants work, and less who strive to protect an uninteresting fish that no one has seen for 6 years and that may never have existed.
“I ran a business with 55 employees for 20 years – our budget was 3.5M.”
And if you can kiss trumps A$$ you to can get a cabinet position.
Senator Tammy Duckworth, in an interview I saw yesterday, said that the manager of an average Applebee’s Restaurant would be more qualified to run the DOD than Hegseth, because they would have experience handling more cash and supervising more people than Hegseth did when he ran 2 veterans organizations that fired him for incompetence, sexual harassment and drunkeness.
So how do you feel about Nancy Pelosi’s bar tab when she use to have her own jet or Biden’s coke in the Whitehouse? How about blow jobs in the Oval Office and Bill’s cigars? By the way, Hegseth has never been fired for any of that and you’re now libelous.
Nany Pelosi hasn’t been nominated to run the DOD, and who cares about the rest? Hegseth lacks managerial experience and has proven he cannot handle finances, even if he didn’t have the character flaws and issues with excessive drunkenness. He WAS fired for his drunkeness, taking staff to a struip club and for financial mismanagement. Setting aside all of the MAGA media nonsense–Hegseth has not been fully vetted by the FBI. One reason for doing this is to determine if there are matters out there for which a candidate could be blackmailed. There’s so much dirt on Hegseth that we already know about that any reasonable person would have to worry about what else is out there and what information he might trade to keep it quiet. Why hasn’t the woman he paid off been interviewed? When there are so many other people out there who would be better qualified, why is this loser being forced on us? He has proven that he is not fit for the job.
Nancy Pelosi is not a candidate to run the DOD–she has been elected and re-elected for decades by the citizens of the State of California, and she and her husband are wealthy in their own right, so they can own an airplane if they want to. I don’t care about Bill Clinton or cigars–but what I DO care about is someone without sufficient administrative and financial experience running an agency that employs 2,250,000 civilians and 1.23 million active duty military personnel, managing a budget of $840 billion.
Excerpted from CNN, 12/2/24:
“Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, was pushed out as the head of two veterans’ advocacy organizations amid internal allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct, The New Yorker reported Sunday.
A whistleblower report obtained by the magazine alleged that, during his time leading one of those nonprofit advocacy groups, Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated at work events and gatherings with staff. It also alleges that he sexually pursued female staffers, and that the organization ignored another staffer’s alleged sexual misconduct.
The report is the latest scrutiny into Hegseth, a veteran and former Fox News host with no prior government experience, ahead of what’s expected to be a tough Senate confirmation process. It comes on the heels of reports detailing a sexual assault allegation from 2017, which Hegseth has denied and in which no charges were filed.”
The fact that no charges were filed does not mean that Hegseth was “cleared”–contrary to what he claims. It means most likely that the woman did not want to go through the abuse sexual assault victims undergo in order to press her case.
Ooooohhhhh… The New Yorker! CNN!!!! MY GOD!
What devastating truth-telling from all these entities Speaking Their Democrat Truths that spent years assuring us the illegal “Trump-Russia Dossier”, written by a Russian spy hired and paid by Obama and Clinton, was 100% verified US intelligence agencies!
That will win us over: references with all the credibility of Gigi and cowardly Anonymous Marxist Useful Idiots!
Hegseth is in big trouble now!
Old Airborne Dog
So you cite hegseth refering people to the examples in his book, and they you claim he did not provide examples.
Did you read the book ?
Separately, why does this matter ? Hegseth is clearly committed to IDENTICAL standards – do you have a problem with that ?
The standards for Seals should be those necescary to assure that seals can do their job. They should be based on the job, not arbitrary. If those standards result in outcomes that do not result in Seals with the appropriate racial, sexual or cultural makeup – so be it.
The same should be true of each job classification in the military.
The standards must be about the job.
If you think Hegseth is chasing chimera – SO WHAT ?
He still seeing standards that are identical for ALL within a job class.
Female PT standards in the military have been lower than those for males for decades. During the Gulf War, in the Army Reserve, the females had far lower standards for physical training, which continue to this day. Less push-ups, less distance running, slower time requirements for distance runs, less stringent weight standards, and so on. And as Hegseth has aptly stated, that scientific fact otherwise ignored by the loony leftists, endangers the entire combat fighting force efficacy.
Hegseth is correct, and perhaps could have made a larger contrast and compare question by asking the Senator a question as to why there are no females in the NFL? If it were at all possible, the NFL would field a female in a heart beat to gain the attention and approval of the loony leftists, the same thinking that led to them having dishonored the National Anthem and other idiotic pregame and halftime socialist demonstrations . The NFL would bend over backwards to put a female on the field. But for the fact that perhaps after two snaps of the ball, the female(s) would be on a gurney.
Why are there no females in the NBA? Where instead they have their own WBA. Same as the NFL. And this line of query also answers the question as to why pretend females who are actually biological males, out compete women in their own sports with ease.
It’s pretty simple actually if one has a grip on reality. Women do not have a comparable muscle and bone structure to withstand the higher standards of physical endurance and physical strength. They have no business on the battlefield unless or until they can achieve those higher standards. Whereupon it then becomes a question of morals. You want your daughter drafted to fight in a foxhole in war? Imagine the fun videos of American female prisoner interrogations.
I don’t have a daughter at stake. So I’ll leave that one up to the conscience of those who do.
While I am 100% with you that the military standards need to be those required for the task – War.
It is NOT altogether clear that GENERALLY the specific advantages of males are superior to those of females in all combat roles. Women have significantly more endurance. They manage must longer on less sleep. They may not be able to lift as much on day one of the fighting, but they are more likely to be still in the fight after 4 days with little or no sleep.
I am not claiming that women are superior – only at SOME things.
The standards need to reflect the actual requirements of the job. Women need to be able to haul a machine gun,
and Men need to still be able to fire it after 5 days without sleep.
But many roles require neither ability
You have obviously never served in actual combat, nor have you witnessed the performance of women in combat.
You have obviously never served in actual combat, nor have you witnessed the performance of women in combat.
Given that you insinuate you have, us your best guess on how many GI Janes there are serving physical front line combat roles in the SEAL teams, Delta, MARSOC, etc.
Combat roles versus filling the necessary and important behind the lines administrative positions such as that Hunter Biden was fulfilling as an officer before he was given a protective opportunity to resign rather than be court martialed as a drug addict.
The lie that physical standards haven’t been decreased for front line combat soldiers just as it has been in Los Angeles for fire fighters has about as much chance of being accepted as the Trump-Russia Dossier.
Well to be honest, the chick he was referring to was previously a dude…
Lies are easy to make up to then present as facts when your only criteria is to make sh!t up while lyin’ like a proud Biden.
For old times sake, can you give us a rendition of the ol’ “The Trump-Russia Dossier has verified intelligence agency evidence Trump worked with Putin to steal the election!”
Underlying all the Sturm und Drang Smith and the head police state fascist Merrick Garland are hoping to feed Soviet Democrat police state fascists and Professor Turley’s haters who are the resident Three Democrat Stooges (but I repeat myself), there are three basic facts.
1. Jack Smith’s “report” serves primarily to illustrate and reveal the police state fascists of the Soviet Democrats and their co-conspirators within the Democrat-Mainstream Media Propaganda Complex.
2. Once Smith was thrown out on his ear as an illegitimate Special Counsel, the head police state fascist, Merrick Garland, did NOT appoint a replacement prosecutor who was qualified. His existing Special Counsels for example, who had just finished their assigned work: Weiss and Hur.
Despite the fact this was supposedly a prosecution to “protect our Democrat democracy”, it wasn’t important enough to replace Smith with a qualified existing Special Counsel.
3. Given Smith’s conduct in the previous election where a Democrat president and his VP Biden were attempting reelection and used Smith and police state fascism to eliminate his most dangerous opponent, there is no legitimate justification for claiming Smith was EVER qualified to fulfill the role of a Special Counsel.
A Special Counsel has a demonstrable prosecutorial record of fairness, impartiality, unbiased, the highest standards of legal competence and performance.
Smith’s record was one of being unanimously overturned by SCOTUS and termed by that court to be a threat to our democracy. While taxpayers had to shell out tens of millions in damages for Smith/Louis Lerner at the same time depriving Republican groups of their first amendment rights.
And of course, perhaps more importantly, a Special Counsel is chosen to act on behalf of the DoJ who has no obvious conflict of interest ties to the DoJ who appointed them to replace the DoJ’s in house prosecutors to eliminate any question of political bias. Like a disqualifying professional and personal tie to Biden’s chosen Deputy Attorney General back to when she, Smith, and VP Biden worked together to eliminate Governor Bob McDonnell.
Jack Smith’s record showed that he was exactly the Lavarentiy Beria that Democrats wanted to help win this Democrat presidential reelection campaign as he helped them win the previous one.
And Jack Smith’s connection to Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who then VP Biden watched work with Jack Smith as all three took out his previous most dangerous challenger in that election, was put in that position specifically to find Biden his next Lavarentiy Beria for when Trump ran for president again.
Let the desperate attempts to retcon the Soviet Democrat police state fascism begin.
Unfortunately, Trump will not go after his enemies as the Soviet Democrats claim he will – appointing a Special Counsel running out of a Wyoming grand jury who will do a RICO investigation of all who have colluded to launch lawfare at him going all the way back to the felony-ridden Democrat 2016 “Trump-Russia Dossier”.

So what you’re saying is you’re too stupid to understand what you read. Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.
To think he spent a couple hours formulating his comment, yet he didn’t understand what he wrote. What gobbledygook.
Those of you on the left promised hitherto unseen evidence – there is none.
As Turley notes – there is nothing new here.
What is new about this is Smith’s strategy for circumventing the supreme court.
That alone is damning.
If a prosecutor is trying to persuade the courts to create a new crime that the law and courts have never recognized before,
the answer is no, and the prosecutor is abusing power and violating the law.
Smith is not the first prosecutor to do this.
Nor as Turley notes is this the first time Smith has done this.
But this lawfare must be stopped.
Smith report is CONFESSION of lawfare.
Some of us can read – can you ?
Tell me what EVIDENCE is new in this ?
Tell me what legal analysis in this is consistent with past court decisions and applications of the law ?
I found the hearings on 1512(c) enlightening, The solicitor general was arguing that congress accidentally gave prosecutors a huge new loophole to manufacture crimes willy nilly.
If that was actually true – then 1512(c) is unconstitutionally overbroad.
As jeffeson said – criminal law must be so clear that anyone can understand what is made a crime while running down the road reading the law.
The social contract does not bequeath to government and those few that control it the power to make anything they please into a crime. A crime is the use of force to do actual harm to another.
There would have been evidence presented at trial, but those proceedings never took place due to Trump’s ongoing delays.
The report on the classified documents case should contain more evidence than what is currently known to the public, which is one reason why Trump is fighting hard to keep it under wraps. Even Turley concedes that the classified documents case is more damaging for Trump, and the report would shed light on Trump’s actions and dishonesty.
In contrast, the report regarding the election case is weaker than that of the classified documents. Trump’s own picks from the DOJ would be directly implicated, jeopardizing their nominations. This is why it’s crucial for Trump to thwart the release of Smith’s report in its entirety.
There would have been evidence presented at trial, but those proceedings never took place due to Trump’s ongoing delays.
How Dare Trump Cause Delays By Demanding Evidence Jack Smith Was Hiding And Filing Motions Regarding Smith Who Was Caught Deliberately Deceiving The Court
At that’s a window into the police state fascist mind of George, self-proclaimed Rebel Confederate Constitutional Expert and holder of an Internet JD degree.
Trump had no right to attempt to get a fair trial when it’s Democrat Equal Justice For All!
George, Gigi, Dennis, the Soviet Democrats… all the lies and denying failed. Trump will be president in less than a week.
And they’ve had to double the number of times they change Biden’s diapers each day as he wonders if the incoming Attorney General will revoke his current work release probation and swiftly prosecute him for his 40+ years of serial felonies while a Senator and then VP.
