  1. Trump will provide a self-serving account meant to serve a coup and a dictatorship. It is utterly predictable that he will attempt to pass responsibility for any act of terror to his domestic political opponents and discredit or undo elections. #TrumpCoupAttempt #Timothy_snyder open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p

  2. 8-minute analysis:

  3. “It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case in a way so as not to impinge on the election of the president,” #Chutkan told #Lauro, after the #Trump lawyer objected to an order that would let prosecutors make their case first. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.”

  8. #Chutkan’s decision gives the government an opportunity to lay out new #evidence against #Trump, though how much, if at all, they will choose to reveal in the run-up to the #election remains to be seen.

    In court, Trump defense attorney #JohnLauro had sparred w/Chutkan over the schedule, arguing that the next 2 months is a “very sensitive time” before Republican nominee Trump faces the Democratic nominee, MVP #KamalaHarris, at the polls.

  9. But in #Arizona, #BorisEpshteyn is getting a featured role. His #indictment there stems from work he did behind the scenes to try to keep #Trump in power after his #2020election loss. Shepherding a small group of advisers, he helped oversee a plan to deploy #FakeElectors in 7 battleground states lost by Trump, documents show.

  10. #BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in Trump-related indictments, court records show. Election cases in #Georgia & #Wisconsin identify him as “Individual 3” & “Individual A.” In one federal case pending against #Trump, he appears as “Person 5.” In another, his email traffic matches that of “Co-conspirator 6.”

  11. #BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in #Trump-related #indictments. In a case in #Arizona on Tues, he will be a major figure.
    A college friend of Trump’s son Eric at Georgetown, he would become a swaggering TV surrogate for the 2016 Trump campaign before eventually serving as Trump’s unofficial chief #fixer & #legal strategist.

  13. Retired #military leaders filed an #amicus brief Mon writing that #Trump’s #AbsoluteImmunity theory “has the potential to severely undermine the Commander-in-Chief’s #legal & #moral authority to lead the military forces, as it would signal that they but not he must obey the #RuleOfLaw.”

  16. #JackSmith added that there was no reason to fear tit-for-tat prosecutions that would chill other presidents from taking decisive action.
