Donald Trump bears responsibility for Jan. 6 attack, Jack Smith argues in new filing
The special counsel says Trump "willfully caused his supporters to obstruct and attempt to obstruct" the certification of Joe Biden's victory in 2020.
Go listen to Mitch McConnell's speech on Jan 7th. McConnell is now considered a RINO by maga standards. It's unreal how far the Overton window has shifted to the right.
Great, we can finally see nothing be done about it.
Of course he does.
Obvious truth is obvious.
"You've gotta fight like hell and I'll be right there with you."
No shit.
Duh, Wren argues in response on lemmy.
RICO his ass
Trump's motion to dismiss based on his claims of presidential immunity is now due Nov. 7, while the government's reply is due on Nov. 21. Whether the case ultimately goes to trial depends on the outcome of the election.
I have zero idea why Jack Smith waited so fucking long to bring this to trial. Maybe I'm missing something, but it feels like election interference to postpone court proceedings to give a candidate criminal deniability until after the election is over. If Trump really is guilty, the public deserves to know now, not after we all vote.
Part of it was that it literally wasn’t his job for over 2 years
Garland was fucking around and didn’t appoint him until nov. 22.
He had to build his case and do all the legwork, and this is not a case you want to fuck up. Then there’s all the SCROTUS delays and bullshit there; at literally every turn.
Jack Smith did not postpone it that late, the Supreme court and lower courts have been adding delays non-stop
He filed indictments over a year ago against trump. The more recent headlines are talking about modified versions of those indictments to work around the Supreme Court's insane rulings
His earlier case was thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled the President is immune from crimes. He had to go back do it again with only evidence from when Trump was acting as a private citizen.
if you guys don't understand the processes going on in the trump trials, Prosecuting Donald Trump is an excellent weekly podcast going over all court cases related to Trump. it is hosted by Andrew Weissman and Mary McCord, seasoned federal prosecutors. it's very informative and they present the content in an easily understood way.
There's also the "Jack" podcast: https://mswmedia.com/show/jack-a-special-counsel-podcast/
They go pretty deep into all the filings and maneuverings.
Two small points-
- he brought the classified docs case earlier and that case has been dismissed pending appeal, so I don’t think the timing matters there.
- due to the Supreme Court’s interference, we are probably still a year from a verdict. They were going to help him avoid accountability no matter when the charges were brought.
His supporters are selling “I’m voting for the convicted felon” merch already. Wouldn’t have made a difference, man.
arguesCorrectly states.
But has he? No.
Will he? No.
I don't know why you are getting down voted. It's the truth. He will face zero consequences. The only way to make sure it's not really bad is to vote against him.
Either way he walks.
I can't care, because I know where they're coming from. There's an unhealthy amount of MAGA people on here in the fediverse unfortunately. The ones I know probably have come from Reddit who've been banned over and over because they were antagonizing people but then scream how the reason must be because "REDDIT IS LEFTIST!".
And I also assume it's from people who have parked on my profile because of other things I've said and they take their childish insecurities out on me over it.
