  1. #FBI raid in #Georgia highlights Trump's preoccupation with the #2020election

    Trump lost his bid for reelection in 2020. But for more than 5 years, he's been trying to convince Americans the opposite is true by falsely saying the election was marred by widespread fraud.

    Now that he's president again, Trump is pushing the federal govt to back up those bogus claims.

    >> I'm really starting to believe there's no way #Trump's reign of terror, greed, and corruption ends without revolution or a combo of nature and luck.

    Trump #coup could NOT have happened without the complicity of #DemocraticParty leaders — all the way to the TOP.

    #Biden and #MerrickGarland's failures to bring closure to #Epstein, #Muller, #Jan6 #Insurrection, #NuclearSecrets Theft, #ElectionInterference, & #FakeElectors… reek of deliberate design.

  3. ⬆️ @GreenFire

    >> In light of current events and Republicans' lies, I'll remind people that President Joe Biden signed sweeping aviation legislation that will boost U.S. air traffic controller staffing in May 2024

    #Biden did lot of good but none of his policies/actions are DURABLE in the wake of his and #MerrickGarland's failure to bring closure to #Epstein, #Muller, #Jan6 #Insurrection, #NuclearSecrets Theft, #ElectionInterference, & #FakeElectors.

    Not a SINGLE win! Reeks of deliberate design

  4. Among those who were indicted were White House chief of staff #MarkMeadows, attorneys #RudyGiuliani, #JohnEastman & #ChristinaBobb, top campaign adviser #BorisEpshteyn & former campaign aide #MikeRoman. The grand jury accused them of unsuccessfully trying to award the state’s electoral votes to #Trump instead of #Biden even though Biden won the popular vote there.

  5. As part of the #election-related investigation, #Trump was indicted by a #federal #GrandJury in August 2023 on four #criminal counts, including #conspiracy to #defraud the #UnitedStates; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; #obstruction of & attempting to obstruct an official proceeding; & conspiracy against #rights.

  6. It was scheduled to go to trial in March 2024. #Trump’s & #SCOTUS’ delays are what dragged the timeline out this long. He only has himself to blame.

  7. Re #Trump’s claims that #JackieSmith’s filing is in violation of the #DOJ’s 60 day before an election policy is BS. The DOJ's "60-day rule" applies to bringing NEW indictments in the days leading up to an #election, it is not relevant to the #ElectionInterference / #ElectionSubversion / #Jan6 / #FakeElectors #criminal #conspiracy case.

    This is NOT a new #indictment. It is a #filing in regard to a VERY OLD indictment. Trump was first indicted in this case in Aug 2023.

  8. Using this info, here is #JackSmith’s evidence of #Trump’s #Michigan #ElectionInterference specifically detailing the #FakeElectors #conspiracy (see screenshots).

  9. No longer WaPo article, just my reading of the filing:

    #SteveBannon is deductively “person 1” or “P1”
    Deduced because the audio of this quote from p7 was published by MotherJones.

    "And so they're going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump's going to take advantage of it-that's our strategy. He's going to declare himself a winner."

  10. The filing described what the then-president told key figures in his orbit, including VP #MikePence, attorney #RudyGiuliani & senior #WhiteHouse & Republican Party ofcls, though it shielded some of their names, & how some in his orbit told him his claims of having won the election were false. It also detailed what #Trump was doing on #Jan6, as his supporters violently stormed the Capitol.

  11. From WaPo:

    #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith laid out new evidence to support his assertion that #Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the #2020election were taken as a private candidate, rather than his ofcl capacity as the president, in a much-anticipated 165-pg filing unsealed Wed that detailed #Trump’s private interactions w/his VP & others.

  12. Just checked in w/ #FauxNews they have as their chyron “Trump Campaign: Jack Smith filing full of falsehoods”

    FFS, they have HARD EVIDENCE, documented, phone records, depositions made under oath!

    Cavuto said that there wasn’t much new information!!!

  13. The defendant's Campaign operatives & supporters used similar tactics at other tabulation centers, including in #Philadelphia, #Pennsylvania, & the defendant sometimes used the resulting confrontations to falsely claim that his election observers were being denied proper access, thus serving as a predicate to the defendant's claim that fraud must have occurred in the observers' absence.

  14. MORE: Prosecutors say their filing includes #unredacted quotes & info form sensitive sources such as grand jury transcripts/interviews, but that it will redact the footnotes identifying what those sources are.

    storage.courtlistener.com/reca

    #Chutkan may release the #redacted filing – w/o exhibits as soon as Oct 1 because she has set #Trump's objections deadline for 12PM that day, unusual if she's expecting to wait until after Oct 10.

  15. 🚨🚨🚨#JackSmith’s ~180pg brief on #Trump #criminal #ElectionInterference case will land on Judge #Chutkan’s desk today.🚨🚨🚨

    Smith took testimony from #MarkMeadows, #MikePence, #PatCipollone, #DanScavino & others who either refused to cooperate w/the #Jan6 committee or wouldn’t get into key areas because of privilege. So the potential for new #evidence is very likely.

    #ShelbyTownship clerk wins primary, even after #FakeElectors plot

    Stanley #Grot, who faces #criminal charges for signing a certificate falsely stating that #Trump won MI's 2020 #election, will stay in office.

    In the #Republican primary for #clerk, Grot was challenged by 3 other R candidates & won w/ 51.6% of the vote. Business owner Jon Robinson had 23.4%, engineer Grant Golasa had 11.4% & Pamela Ulrich (who dropped out of the race) had 13.6%.

  17. BEFORE the #TrumpVsUS Ruling, T**** had no problem declaring that he'd be a #DictatorOnDayOne. And GLEEFULLY watched a murderous mob attack the Capitol at his urging while #FakeElectors tried to steal the election...

    ...how much further do you think he might go now that HIS #SCotUS has just given him full immunity from even being INVESTIGATED (much less #Prosecuted) for crimes?

  18. Whether a sitting president can be tried in a state court is an untested #legal matter that is sure to be fought out in higher courts.

    4 of #Trump’s 19 original co-defendants have already pleaded #guilty & taken deals w/the prosecution, including #SidneyPowell & Kenneth #Chesebro, a legal architect of the plan to deploy #FakeElectors who has become a witness in 5 different state election inquiries.

  26. Trump was recorded pressuring Wayne County canvassers not to certify 2020 vote

    Then-President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News and revealed publicly for the first time.

    On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they'd look "terrible" if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.

    "We've got to fight for our country," said Trump on the recordings, made by a person who was present for the call with Palmer and Hartmann. "We can't let these people take our country away from us."

    McDaniel, Mitt Romney's niece and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, "If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. ... We will get you attorneys

  30. The potential for #incriminating #testimony from 3 of #Trump’s codefendants (#SidneyPowell, #ScottHall, #Chesebro) could have far-reaching impact on TFG’s #legal fortunes in the case, + some of the other high-profile defendants, notably #RudyGiuliani.

    Chesebro had been facing 7 charges related to his alleged role as the legal architect of a plan to use #Trump #FakeElectors in #Georgia & other key states to undermine legitimate 2020 electoral college votes to steal the election for Trump.
