1. Did Garland seek a legal opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) before his unprecedented indictment of a former president? 2. How can Garland charge a former president for espionage for retaining his presidential records he is allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act? 3. Even if the Presidential Records Act (somehow) doesn't apply, how can Garland charge a former president for espionage for retaining national-defense information, when there is no allegation--let alone evidence--of any intent to injure the United States? 4. How can Garland ignore a binding 2019 OLC legal opinion and charge a former president for obstructing an investigation into the non-crime of retaining his president records he is allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act? https://t.co/CN31xFRnNB

This is interesting from Trump's lawyers. Classified papers in boxes at Mar-a-Lago while he was still president? Smith is going to have to prove that any record in the indictment was indeed taken to MAL after he left office and contained in boxes shipped to MAL after Jan 2021

Special Counsel Jack Smith just commited one of the greatest acts of election interference in U.S. history. The special prosecutor just charged the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, with conspiring against the nation that he once led to peace and prosperity. The J6 indictment against Biden's chief 2024 adversary provides interference for a sitting president whom is undoubtedly one of the most corrupt presidents the nation has ever witnessed. The grand inquisitor is bringing forth Civil War era charges against Trump last seen during Reconstruction; namely, Section 241 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which makes it a crime for people to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” in the “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” This antedated statute invokes racial overtones to smear the former president through insinuation. Congress passed the law after the Civil War with the aim of giving federal agents the means to pursue Southern whites, including Ku Klux Klan members who perpetrated acts of terrorism to hinder the voting rights of freed slaves. It has recently been resurrected for the singular purpose of charging J6 defendants; by extension, of course, former President Donald J. Trump. Another charge, conspiracy to defraud the government, is risible given the U.S. government has done nothing but defraud the American people since Donald Trump appeared as a presidential candidate. Trump was accused of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, an implicit charge of treason for which he was later exonerated. Trump was impeached as president for seeking information on former Vice President Biden's actions in Ukraine, a request that has borne out to have significant merit. Indeed, then Speaker Pelosi undoubtedly impeached Donald Trump in search of a crime in order to stop any further investigation into the matter. Most pertinently, Trump was impeached for his alleged incitement of the January 6 riot. Never mind that he told the crowd before the Capitol Riots begin to 'peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.' And that he told the rioters to stand down on social media platforms before he was banned in a transparent act of political collusion. And that the rioters themselves were penetrated by FBI agents months in advance, who subsequently did nothing to stop them. One agent even admitted by text message that there appeared to be no substantive plot to overthrow the government, as the dejected New York Times reported. Trump was also ultimately exonerated in a Senate trial. Thus, the constitutional process for adjudicating high crimes and misdemeanors that applies to U.S. presidents because they have sovereign immunity as head of state, namely, impeachment, is being completely undermined in a reckless DOJ effort to fling spaghetti against a judicial wall to see if anything sticks. But most interestingly, the U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to adjudicate a third potential charge that applies directly to Donald Trump: Obstruction of an official proceeding. A J6 defendant named Edward Lang recently filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, a type of appeal to the Supreme Court to review a lower court case. As the petition states, the SCOTUS’ decision “will influence scores, if not hundreds, of prosecutions arising from the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.” The writ of certiorari suggested that Lang's appeal could impact the Justice Department’s potential January 6 case against Trump. Lang emphasized the timing of the filing, noting that Trump is currently a leading figure within the Republican Party. At the heart of the case is the alleged misapplication of 18 U.S. Code 1512 (c)(2), which regards to the obstruction of official proceedings, particularly with a “corrupt purpose.”
@kylenabecker - Kyle Becker
Prosecutors have argued that the “corrupt purpose” is rioting, purportedly at the behest of former President Donald Trump, with the aim of the president unlawfully retaining power by halting the Electoral College proceedings. As the legal writ points out, there has been no plausible explanation given by prosecutors about how rioters temporarily obstructing the Electoral College vote count would lead to Donald Trump retaining his office. This is, of course, exposes the illogical nature of charging a former Commander-in-Chief with participation in an "insurrection." As we are being asked to believe, then President Donald Trump apparently declined to issue any commands to the U.S. military to carry out a 'coup,' and instead directed an unarmed rabble to the capitol building to foment aimless chaos without any means to capture and hold the federal government. In the film "Knives Out," private detective Benoit Blanc sums up the problem with the deceptively straightforward narrative that millionaire benefactor Harlan Thrombey had been accidentally poisoned and had slit his own throat. “I spoke in the car about the hole at the center of this donut," Benoit says with a wry southern drawl. "And yes, what you and Harlan did that fateful night seems at first glance to fill that hole perfectly. A donut hole in the donut's hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the donut hole has a hole in its center -- it is not a donut hole at all but a smaller donut with its own hole, and our donut is not a hole at all!" If you examine the J6 matter closely, it is not what the federal government did on January 6 that raises the most serious questions, it is what it didn't do that defies belief. If Donald Trump was an existential threat to the country, the capitol would have been flooded with National Guard members, instead of crawling with armed undercover agents, as it was later revealed. The dire matter of charging a former president for the crime of “knowing deceit” based foundationally upon political speech was trenchantly summarized by the great French scholar Baron de Montesquieu in "Spirit of the Laws." “Nothing renders the crime of high treason more arbitrary than declaring people guilty of it for indiscreet speeches," Montesquieu wrote. "Speech is so subject to interpretation; there is so great a difference between indiscretion and malice; and frequently so little is there of the latter in the freedom of expression, that the law can hardly subject people to a capital punishment for words unless it expressly declares what words they are." “Words do not constitute an overt act; they remain only in idea," he continued. "When considered by themselves, they have generally no determinate signification; for this depends on the tone in which they are uttered. It often happens that in repeating the same words they have not the same meaning; this depends on their connection with other things, and sometimes more is signified by silence than by any expression whatever. Since there can be nothing so equivocal and ambiguous as all this, how is it possible to convert it into a crime of high treason?" “Wherever this law is established, there is an end not only of liberty, but even of its very shadow," he added. That is what America is now countenancing with the indictment of Donald Trump for January 6. If the former president can be indicted for contesting an election, then Americans can be indicted for anything.

My Take on the New Trump Indictment Special Counsel Jack Smith’s new indictment against President Trump seeks to criminalize political speech and to criminalize taking incorrect legal advice. Americans of all political stripes should be furious and deeply concerned by the course Smith has set this country on. I have reviewed the new Trump indictment closely, and sadly, it is exactly what we have come to expect from Smith’s team—a highly political document, riddled with legal and factual infirmities. This indictment should have never been brought to a grand jury in the first place. Moreover, its timing, particularly in light of Smith’s statements and actions in the Trump documents case, is so highly suspect that it casts a political pall over the whole case. I’m going to run through the various issues I see with this indictment. Apologies in advance for the length of this post, and for some of the more technical aspects of it. Happy to answer any questions. The Indictment Smith’s indictment contains four counts against Trump. The first, brought under 18 U.S.C. § 371, alleges that Trump conspired to defraud the United States “by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct federal government function by which those results are collected, counted and certified.” The second and third allege conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and the actual or attempted obstruction of an official proceeding, both in violation of subsections of 18 U.S.C. § 1512. The fourth alleges that Trump committed a “conspiracy against rights,” by knowingly conspiring to deprive Americans of their right to vote and have their votes counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241. Having read the indictment, having followed January 6-related cases closely, having read extensive news coverage, and having spoken to others with experience in this area of the law, I do not believe that any of these charges can fairly be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a fair judge and jury. Additionally, I expect that, were this case to reach the Supreme Court, the Court would reject Smith’s theories of liability on all or at least some of these counts, as it did unanimously with his prosecution of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell. Smith and his team did a real disservice to the cause of justice by bringing this indictment. (1) Trump’s State of Mind In the Trump documents case, we’ve already seen how thorny issues of intent can be. There, many of us have argued that, in light of the President’s rights and responsibilities under the Presidential Records Act, it is essentially impossible for Jack Smith to prove that Trump knowingly violated the Espionage Act subsection charged. Here, we have a similar issue. For all four of these charges, Smith needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump knew that his claims about election integrity were false, and that he knew that the legal theories his team advanced were not viable. Not just that these claims were false, not just that Trump might have known that they were false, or that Trump should have known that they were false. If Trump did not actually know that his claims were false and the theories he was advancing were wrong, then I do not see how he can be found guilty of any of the four charges in the indictment. While Smith points to a few statements Trump allegedly made to others at various stages of his election challenges where he impliedly (if you squint hard enough) appears to concede defeat, the overwhelming gravamen of Trump’s statements and actions indicate that he believed that his claims—both factual about the conduct of the election and legal about potential remedies—were true. Considering the record as a whole, how does one go about proving that Trump didn’t believe his own arguments? Moreover, three of these counts charge conspiracy. For those counts, Smith likely has to prove that Trump’s alleged co-conspirators also knew that the claims they were advancing were false. And that Trump and his alleged co-conspirators all agreed, knowing that the claims were false, to press ahead anyway. Given the list of co-conspirators, their activities during the time period in question, and the interactions between them and Trump that have already been made public, I think the opposite is likely the case. In short, proving the requisite intent on the part of Trump and his alleged co-conspirators on all of these charges is likely impossible, at least in front of a fair jury in a fair courtroom. This indictment should never have been brought. (2) First Amendment Others have made this point publicly already, so I won’t belabor it. To put it simply, Jack Smith’s theory of the case necessarily requires criminalizing political speech. This is core, protected activity under the First Amendment, and the legal implications are truly scary for our democracy. Is any public challenge to a certified federal election a criminal act? In Jack Smith’s telling, the answer is probably yes. At what point do election challenges become criminal? Based of Jack Smith’s theory of the case, the answer to that is entirely unclear, meaning that the very fact that this indictment was brought may have a deeply chilling effect on protected speech in years to come. Hillary Clinton, Stacy Abrams, and many, many others have claimed for years that their elections were stolen from them. Stacy Abrams continued her efforts to challenge her defeat to Brian Kemp long after the results were clear. Andrew Jackson claimed that John Quincy Adams cheated him out of the Election of 1824. After the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections, Democrats attempted to interfere with the electoral count process. Did those actions constitute a Conspiracy Against Rights under § 241? Under Jack Smith’s theory of the case, I think the answer is unclear, but possibly. Taking political speech and political acts of this sort and shoehorning them into criminal statutes that have never before been used in this way is terrifying. Political candidates should not live in fear of prosecution by their political opponents for stating their views about their elections. Jack Smith, in his rush to “get Trump,” has done serious violence to our Constitutional order and Bill of Rights. (3) Requisite Intent under § 241 Section 241 is a statute that was originally designed to deal with violence against black voters by the Ku Klux Klan, and other similar efforts to deprive people of their constitutional rights. Jack Smith’s use of it here is outrageous on its face, designed to inflame perhaps more than anything else. But there are also serious legal issues that Smith and his team seem to have been willing to ignore in terms of the statute’s applicability to the facts alleged. In United States v. Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966), the Supreme Court grappled with the constitutionality of this statute, facing an argument that it was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. The Supreme Court ultimately held that the statute was constitutional, but only because of the heightened intent requirements that follow from it being a conspiracy statute. In the Supreme Court’s words, “[a] specific intent to interfere with the federal right [at issue] must be proved” on the part of the alleged conspirators. Only because of that specific intent requirement was the prosecution in that case allowable, and was the statute itself deemed to pass constitutional muster. In Anderson v. United States, 417 U.S. 211 (1974), the Supreme Court addressed the applicability of § 241 to a scheme to cast fake votes for federal, state, and local candidates in West Virginia. The Court cautioned that “[i]t is established that since the gravamen of the offense under § 241 is conspiracy, the prosecution must show that the offender acted with a specific intent to interfere with the federal rights in question.” Furthermore, the Court stated that “special care” was warranted in assessing this intent, because “charges of conspiracy are not to be made out by piling inference upon inference, thus fashioning . . . a dragnet to draw in all substantive crimes.” To prove his case, it’s not enough for Jack Smith to prove that Trump and his allege co-conspirators sought to overturn certified election results—he needs to prove that they acted with specific intent to deprive people of the rights to have their votes counted. This cannot be established by inference, under binding Supreme Court precedent. Smith needs evidence that Trump’s intent was specifically to deprive people of their right to have their votes counted. On the face of the indictment and public record, it doesn’t appear that he has anything close to meeting this high bar. (4) Issues with § 371 Section 371 is a statute that criminalizes defrauding the federal government or interfering in lawful functions of government. Its origins are in the tax fraud context, and it was originally cabined closely to property frauds against the federal government. Even after the statute was expanded, though, the Supreme Court has urged caution throughout the statute’s history that a conspiracy charge relating to the obstruction of governmental functions must be premised on the use of “deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest.” Hammerschmidt v. United States, 265 U.S. 182 (1924). “Open defiance” of the law, for example, cannot give rise to a § 371 charge. Courts have consistently held that obtaining a conviction under this statute requires both the existence of an agreement to achieve an unlawful objective, as well as deliberate, knowing, and specific intent to participate in that agreement. Jack Smith’s theory is that Trump and his alleged co-conspirators conspired to “defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government.” But in light of the requirements for proving fraud conspiracy under § 371, Smith needs to show that Trump and his team knew that their theories were groundless when they promoted them to state legislators and other decision makers in the electoral count process, and encouraged those officials to take various official actions. And that Trump and his team agreed that this was the plan—promoting theories they knew were groundless, based on facts that they knew were false, to these legislators and officials. The fact that Trump received advice to the contrary just doesn’t cut it, from a legal perspective, when it comes to proving a fraud conspiracy under § 371. This charge appears to be dead on arrival from a legal perspective. (5) Misapplication of § 1512 Section 1512 was originally enacted as part of the Sarbanes Oxley Act in 2002, intended to deal with the fallout from the Enron collapse and investigations. Subsection (c), under which Trump has been charged, deals primarily with destroying evidence in advance of judicial proceedings or legislative inquiries, but it also contains a catchall provision that criminalizes corruptly “obstructing” an official proceeding. The Biden DOJ has used this catchall provision, controversially, to prosecute January 6 defendants, and two of the counts in this new indictment track this theory—that Trump’s activities and statements constituted an obstruction of an official proceeding, namely the electoral count process. This is an issue that is expected to come before the Supreme Court sooner rather than later. In a sharply divided panel opinion this April, the D.C. Circuit allowed § 1512 charges to proceed against three January 6 defendants. But it did so only on the basis that, in the words of Judge Justin Walker’s decisive concurrence, the act’s requirement of a “corrupt” mental state on the part of the defendants sharply delimited its scope. In Walker’s view, to convict under this statute, a Defendant must have acted with the specific intent “to procure an unlawful benefit either for himself or for some other person.” (Judge Katsas dissented and would have dismissed the charges entirely). Under this reading of the statute, it is not enough that Trump (and in the case of the conspiracy charge his alleged co-conspirators) called for protests. It is not enough that Trump tried to prevent the certification of the election or the counting of electoral votes. Trump could have burned down the Capitol personally and that wouldn’t necessarily meet this high bar. He must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to have done what he did to procure a benefit for himself that he knew to be unlawful. As with the other statutes discussed above, this is a very high bar to meet, and the facts as presented simply do not support this charge. (6) Timing As he did with his original indictment in the documents, Jack Smith accompanied his announcement of charges yesterday with a cynical call for a “speedy trial.” More than anything else, Smith’s insistence that these cases that he is bringing should be tried at the height of a presidential election adds fuel to the fire of President Trump’s expressed view that the Special Counsel is waging a political campaign against him, not a valid legal investigation. To put it simply, there is no reason why this case needs to be litigated now, as opposed to two years ago, or as opposed to after the presidential election in 2024. In the documents case, Smith followed his speedy trial call with a voluminous discovery production consisting of close to a million pages of documentary evidence, nine months of video recordings, and terrabytes of data to be analyzed by Trump’s defense team. He then proceeded to file a superseding indictment adding new charges and a new defendant. That case was either ready for trial at the time it was brought, or it wasn’t, but Smith can’t have it both ways—his public statements and court filings amount to a gaslighting of the federal court and indeed of the American people. In this case, the timing concerns are even more severe. The facts at issue date back to 2020 and the first few days of 2021. President Trump has already been impeached and acquitted for the same offense conduct he now faces these criminal charges for. Trump is now running to be president again (and winning in many polls). Inserting this case into the presidential election season has all the appearances of an attempt by Smith to substitute the judgment of his office, a single judge, and 12 D.C. jurors for the millions of Americans who would otherwise have had the opportunity to weigh these facts, alongside all the other political considerations that go into a presidential election. These millions of Americans will likely be faced with a choice to vote for Smith’s boss, Joe Biden, or his likely opponent, Donald Trump. Prosecuting a political opponent during a presidential election in this manner smacks of banana republic politics.

MY PUBLIC ADVICE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM ... The Biden administration has created a legal morass never seen or experienced in American history, as applies to a presidential election. The attorney general, appointed by the Democrat president, is authorizing indictment after indictment of his president's possible if not likely political opponent in the middle of a presidential election cycle. He is doing so through his appointment of a special counsel, whose appointment was a misapplication of the special counsel regulation, and whose charges must be approved by the attorney general. (By the way, as an important side issue, Jack Smith is not a presidential appointee; he never even stood for confirmation by the Senate to hold the position he holds and to exercise the authority he is exercising against a party opponent.) It should be noted at the same time, the attorney general refuses to appoint an outside special counsel to investigate his client, Joe Biden, despite the fact that the DOJ regulation was originally instituted for these exact circumstances. Of course, this underscores the purpose and motive of what is taking place before us today. The attorney general is approving the timing of dozens of charges against the former Republican president, who is actively seeking his party's nomination to challenge the Democrat president for whom he directly reports, which are intended to cripple the ability of Donald Trump to effectively run for president, regardless of what polls show today. And regardless of what the commentariat say, and despite President Trump's strength within the Republican Party, the outcome of the election is unknown. Therefore, the polls are irrelevant in this regard. Moreover, as further evidence that these indictments are being used as political weapons are the timing of the charges -- specifically, all of these charges by the separate grand juries, all controlled by the special counsel, should have been filed AFTER the election, as there was no possibility the statute of limitations would run on any of them. Further, the special counsel repeatedly insists that the charges must be quickly adjudicated, meaning before the people vote, for the purpose of having maximum influence on the election. In addition, the charges have resulted in the significant depletion of Trump's campaign funds to pay for millions in legal fees. Trump has to take significant time from campaigning to address the dozens of charges dropped on him by the Biden administration -- that is, he has to expend an enormous amount of time working with his lawyers in order to defend himself from charges that, collectively, would result in his imprisonment until his death. The fact is that this kind of legal warfare against a presidential and possible if not likely opponent to the present president, is not only unprecedented in the history of our republic it will destroy our electoral system for all time. It is not something that should left to various district courts or local courts to sort out in the course of regular judicial proceedings. In fact, that is part of the intended strategy by the prosecutors who are engaged in this assault on our electoral system. They must not be rewarded for their behavior. They must not be rewarded for their treachery and exploitation of the legal system and the courts to achieve their political ends. Even without getting to the merits of these multitude of charges, which are easily unraveled from my perspective, the process is what is being used to interfere with the election. And the near silence by those who are orchestrating this shocking legal warfare, when the American people are left in the dark, is untenable. Therefore, I want to publicly encourage the Trump legal team to seek an emergency hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, not to resolve legal disputes, but to at least temporarily halt the abomination of this legal warfare that is unfolding in front of us -- where Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans are unashamedly celebrating the use of the courts by the Biden administration and Democrat DA's to further their political wishes, as the rest of the nation watches in shock. This unprecedented legal warfare requires an unprecedented response by the only constitutional body left that can do something about it -- the Supreme Court.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday asked the Supreme Court to rule on whether Trump can be prosecuted on charges relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. A federal judge ruled the case could go forward, but Trump said he would ask the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., to reverse that outcome. Smith is attempting to bypass the appeals court — the usual next step in the process — and have the Supreme Court take up the matter directly. Late Monday, the Supreme Court asked Trump’s lawyers to respond to the special counsel's motion by Wednesday, Dec. 20 — two days later than Smith had requested. Lawyers for Trump filed a motion Tuesday urging Judge Tanya Chutkan to pause proceedings against Trump in the Jan. 6 case while his appeal is pending. The trial was set to begin March 4, but now that start date could be delayed. Chutkan said that she would reconsider the trial date at the completion of the appeals process.

Former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss can immediately seek enforcement of their $146 million financial judgment against Rudy Giuliani because there is good reason to assume he will not comply, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. “Giuliani’s failure to ‘satisfy even more modest monetary awards entered earlier in this case,’ provides good cause to believe that he will seek to dissipate or conceal his assets during the 30-day period,” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell wrote in her order.

#UPDATE Rudy Giuliani files for bankruptcy in NY, lists $500M in debts after devastating $148M loss in election fraud case Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy in the wake of a $148 million civil court ruling and a mountain of unpaid legal bills. Giuliani, who was once hailed as “America’s Mayor,” listed debts of up to $500 million with assets of only $10 million in the filing, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. I've repeatedly stated that they're setting up the steal again. Look around. The Dominion systems will still be in use. They've convicted a good portion of the J6ers. They've indicted Trump with election fraud. They've indicted those supposedly who were close to him, and many of those pled guilty and will testify against him. They've taken Trump off the ballot in Colorado pending appeal, with more states to follow. Do you get it yet?

Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, becoming the second state to block the former president from running again because of his actions before and during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state under a part of the U.S. Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office. The Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case, which could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again. Both states have temporarily paused their decisions so Trump can pursue appeals. Developing... Keep a close eye on the Supreme Court. Hopefully, the global cabal blackmail group doesn't get to them. Based on their decision. We'll either know they're working with military intelligence[MI] or not. I was always taught. Hope for the best. Expect the worst. I don't trust anyone working in these cabal controlled institutions. There's a reason why the dems chose state Sen. Shenna Bellows as their new Secretary of State in Maine.

Octogon intel: #BREAKING Vivek Ramaswamy believes the Republican establishment is rooting for Trump to be forcibly removed from the ballot so they can prop up their chosen candidate. He stated that any state Trump is being removed from that the republican contenders for president should also remove their names from the ballot. If they don't, they are in on it, too. Lately, Vivek has been on a roll releasing comms. As I've been saying for this past year. The proof is in the pudding. Dominion, through actionable court proceedings, won their lawsuit against FOX, and many others stated that their voting machines were good. Courts agreed. Thus, they will continue to use the same systems. In the election fraud case in Georgia, many of the Trump team loyalists have pleaded guilty and decided to testify against Trump. That case and several others against Trump are coming up in a few short months. The precedent for those cases rests in the current Georgia case. I have a feeling that Trump will provide irrefutable evidence at these trials proving his innocence. Now, if the jury/judge decides to convict anyway, this will be another stolen election. I'm praying that it won't. But I am prepared if it does. So should you. Vivek is telling you right here:

Trump. Appeal. J6. Maine. Election interference intel: #BREAKING Trump appeals Maine ruling that he's ineligible for 2024 primary ballot Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, found that Trump is ineligible for the state’s Republican primary ballot due to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed an appeal of the decision by Maine’s top election official that he is ineligible to appear on the state’s primary ballot. “[T]he Secretary’s Ruling was the product of a process infected by bias and pervasive lack of due process; is arbitrary, capricious, and characterized by abuse of discretion,” Trump's attorneys wrote in the appeal. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, ruled last week that the former president is constitutionally barred from appearing on the state’s primary ballot, citing his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But Bellows’ office said her decision would not be enforced until the courts weigh in. Maine’s Republican primary is March 5. In her 34-page decision, Bellows wrote that Trump’s conduct around the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol compelled her to rule him ineligible. “The weight of the evidence makes clear that Mr. Trump was aware of the tinder laid by his multi-month effort to delegitimize a democratic election, and then chose to light a match,” she wrote, adding that he “used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.” In an interview with NBC News last month, Bellows said her preference would have been to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on the matter, which centers on the 14th Amendment, but she believed Maine law required her to act now. “The country would be well served if the United States Supreme Court issues clear guidance on this unprecedented constitutional question for all to follow,” Bellows said.

RNC. Resolution. Haley. Trump. Election intel: #BREAKING RNC Moving to Declare Trump Its Presumptive Nominee An RNC committeeman has submitted the proposal despite Nikki Haley’s vow to stay in the race. The Republican National Committee (RNC) is reviewing a draft resolution that, if approved, would declare Donald Trump the party’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee even as Nikki Haley continues to wage a vigorous campaign against the former president and frontrunner. The draft resolution, obtained by The Dispatch Thursday morning, was proposed by David Bossie, an RNC committeeman from Maryland and close Trump ally. His effort to put the national party on a general election footing behind Trump follows RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel saying after the former president defeated Haley in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary that it was time for Republicans to unite behind the frontrunner and focus on defeating Joe Bidan. “RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee hereby declares President Trump as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States and from this moment forward moves into full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024,” reads a key portion of the draft resolution. Under current RNC rules, Trump still has to win the requisite number of nominating convention delegates—1,215—to become the party’s unchallenged presumptive nominee. After the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Trump leads Haley in the race for delegates 32 to 17. But passage of this resolution, possibly next week at the RNC winter meeting in Las Vegas, could begin a preemptive process of the national party working with the former president as if he had already done so. And under RNC rules, that is permissible. This resolution, even in draft form, also functions as another sign that the GOP establishment is anxious to coalesce behind Trump and put an end to a presidential primary that, after his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, the former president looks poised to win.

Jean Carroll over $83 million in defamation damages The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours. The award included $11 million for damage to Carroll's reputation, $7.3 million for emotional harm and other damages, and $65 million in punitive damages. The decision came after contentious closing arguments that saw Trump storm out of the courtroom. He returned for his own attorney's closing arguments but left the courthouse at 4 p.m. before the jury returned its verdict. He posted about it on his social media platform on Truth Social a short time later. "Absolutely ridiculous!" he wrote, adding he would be appealing. "They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!" Carroll did not comment as she left the courthouse. The cabal has done this to use as Cannon fodder to try and use against him this election. They all need talking points, including Haley. This is also comms to let other juries know how to proceed in Trump’s other upcoming trials this year.

Trump. Trial. Appeals. Judges. Election interference intel: #BREAKING Trump D.C. trial drops off court’s March calendar, clearing way for N.Y. case Administrative move comes as anticipation mounts over how — and when — an appeals court will decide former president’s claim of immunity from criminal prosecution. President Donald Trump’s March 4 trial date on charges of plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election has been dropped from the public calendar of the federal court in Washington, a sign of what has long been anticipated — that his claim of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution would delay his trial while it remains on appeal. The change did not appear on the official criminal case docket before the U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who has made clear since Trump filed his appeal on Dec. 7 that all trial deadlines would be suspended while he challenges the case. On appeal, Trump is arguing that the government does not have authority under the Constitution to bring charges against him for actions he took while president after the 2020 election through the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, when he attempted to prevent Congress from confirming Joe Biden’s election victory. A delay in the D.C. case makes it increasingly likely that the first of Trump’s four criminal trials could be held this spring in Manhattan on New York state charges of business fraud in connection with hush money payments during the 2016 election. That trial has nominally been set for March 25, but the court, in that case, has signaled deference to Trump’s federal election subversion case. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has scheduled a pretrial hearing in two weeks — Feb. 15 — and is expected to decide after that if the trial will go forward as planned.

Cabal intel: #BREAKING Federal Appeals Court Rejects Trump’s Claim of Absolute Immunity The ruling answered a question that an appeals court had never addressed: Can former presidents escape being held accountable by the criminal justice system for things they did while in office? A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected former President Donald J. Trump’s claim that he was immune to charges of plotting to subvert the results of the 2020 election, ruling that he must go to trial on a criminal indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn his loss to President Biden. The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed Mr. Trump was a significant defeat, but it was unlikely to be the final word on his claims of executive immunity. Mr. Trump, who is on a path to locking up the Republican presidential nomination, is expected to continue his appeal to the Supreme Court. Still, the panel’s 57-page ruling signaled an important moment in American jurisprudence, answering a question that had never been addressed by an appeals court: Can former presidents escape being held accountable by the criminal justice system for things they did while in office? Trump will file an appeal to the Supreme Court. Trump is now in the cabal playing field. Brace yourselves this year, guys.

Octigon intel: #BREAKING Judge set to rule in Trump's $370 million civil fraud case A New York state judge is expected to rule on Friday in a $370 million civil fraud case against former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is accused of inflating his net worth to dupe bankers into giving him better loan terms. Justice Arthur Engoron's ruling could deal a major blow to Trump's real estate empire as the businessman turned politician seeks the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 U.S. election. The lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump and his family businesses of overstating his net worth by as much $3.6 billion a year over a decade. Trump has denied wrongdoing and called the case a political vendetta by James, an elected Democrat. In addition to monetary penalties, James is seeking to permanently ban Trump from New York's real estate industry and sharply limit his ability to do business in the state. She is also seeking five-year industry bans for Trump's two adult sons, Don Jr. And Eric, who are also defendants in the case. Developing...

Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, requested an “administrative stay” on Friday to pause Trump’s required payments to Carroll after he made defaming statements against the former writer in 2019. Kaplan said Sunday he would not grant a pause without allowing Carroll and her team to respond and gave them until Thursday at 5 p.m. to respond to Trump’s motion. In Habba’s Friday motion, she asked Kaplan to stay the motion for at least 30 days until Trump’s post-trial motions were resolved, claiming there was a “strong probability” the verdict could be reduced or eliminated on appeal.

Although Trump didn't lay out his appellate arguments on Monday, legal experts expect he will argue that the fraud he was found liable for didn't involve traditional victims. James made the case that Trump inflated his net worth to get better loan terms, but the lenders themselves haven't sued Trump alleging they were harmed by the inflation.

Trump. Fraud. Pause. Judgment. Election interference intel: #BREAKING Trump cannot line up full bond in New York fraud case, offers to post $100 million Donald Trump on Wednesday lost a bid to pause a $454.2 million civil fraud judgment against him for overstating his net worth and real estate values to dupe lenders, meaning he must soon find the cash or post a bond to prevent New York authorities from seizing his property while he appeals. The decision by Associate Justice Anil Singh of the New York Appellate Division must be affirmed by a full panel of the mid-level state appeals court. Singh granted Trump's request for a stay of a portion of Justice Arthur Engoron's Feb. 16 decision barring the former president from running any New York corporation or seeking loans from the state's banks for three years. In asking for the stay earlier on Wednesday, Trump's lawyers said he is unable to post a bond for the full amount of the judgment while he appeals and wants instead to secure a $100 million bond. A bonding company would be on the hook for any payout if Trump loses his appeal and proves unable to pay. In their filing with the Appellate Division, Trump's lawyers said a stay of Engoron's decision was needed because Trump would suffer "irreparable harm" if James were free to sell his real estate assets to raise capital to pay the judgment. The lawyers also said the "exorbitant and punitive amount of the judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond." They said a $100 million bond, together with Trump's "vast" real estate holdings and ongoing oversight by a court-designated monitor for the Trump Organization, would be more than sufficient to secure the judgment.

#UPDATE This could be game over: Supreme Court hands Trump big win by taking immunity case The justices agreed on Wednesday to decide whether Trump enjoys "total immunity" from prosecution. The timing of that decision likely means a trial over Trump's role in Jan. 6 won't begin — much less end — before the election. There's nothing Trump wants more in this case than a delay. If he wins in November and hasn't been tried before Inauguration Day, there's a good chance he never will be. "This could well be game over," election law expert Rick Hasen. Trump's first briefs are due to the high court in about three weeks. Oral arguments will be in late April. That sets the stage for a ruling in late June, at the end of the court's term. That's about as fast as the Supreme Court is capable of moving. The justices have kept the actual trial on ice in the meantime. The fundamental issue in this case — whether presidents are fully immune from prosecution over anything they did in office, even after they've left it — is one of the most profound questions of presidential power the court has ever had to answer. A lower court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's claims of immunity, ruling that he could be prosecuted for Jan. 6. Between the lines: The justices had options here. They could have declined to hear Trump's appeal. They wouldn't have had to tackle the question of presidential immunity, and Trump's trial would have proceeded before the election. That's what some legal experts were anticipating, based on how long it took the justices to announce whether they'd hear the case. Once they agreed to hear the appeal and decide whether presidents are beyond the reach of the criminal-justice system, keeping the trial paused makes sense. If you're not sure whether someone can be prosecuted, it's logical not to prosecute them until you've figured that out.

Trump. Supreme Court. Ballots. Rulings. Election intel: #BREAKING Trump was wrongly removed from Colorado ballot, US supreme court rules Donald Trump was wrongly removed from Colorado’s primary ballot last year, the US supreme court has ruled, clearing the way for Trump to appear on the ballot in all 50 states. The court’s unanimous decision overturns a 4-3 ruling from the Colorado supreme court that said the former president could not run because he had engaged in insurrection during the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The Colorado decision was a novel interpretation of section 3 of the 14th amendment, which bars insurrectionists from holding office. “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion. Congress, the court said, had to enact the procedures for disqualification under Section 3. “State-by-state resolution of the question whether Section 3 bars a particular candidate for President from serving would be quite unlikely to yield a uniform answer consistent with the basic principle that the President … represent[s] all the voters in the Nation,” the court added. Maine and a judge in Illinois had also excluded Trump from the ballot – decisions that are now likely to be quickly reversed. All nine justices agreed with the central holding in the case: that the Colorado supreme court had wrongly barred Trump from appearing on the ballot. But agreement did not extend beyond that. "For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case," Justice Barrett wrote in her concurring opinion. "That is the message Americans should take home." Trump, praised Monday's ruling. "It was a very important decision," he said in Mar-a-Lago hours after it was announced, calling it "very well-crafted. And I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together." He added, "I have great respect for the Supreme Court, and I want to just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly." Moves and countermoves. The cabal thought it would be easier to simply just remove Trump from the ballot as a contingency if Trump so happens to win his court cases. The states that elected to remove Trump from the ballot are compromised. The patriots there need to expose all corruption from the local governments there. Colorado. Illinois. Maine.

Trump. Supreme Court. Judges. Charges. COMMS. Election interference intel: This is a win. But the battle is far from over. #BREAKING Georgia judge tosses some charges against Trump and others in 2020 election case A Fulton County judge on Wednesday tossed out several counts brought against former President Donald Trump and five others in the case involving an alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The brief order from Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee states that six of the counts in the 41-count indictment returned by a Fulton County grand jury in August must be quashed. Of those six counts, Trump was charged with three of them. Joining Trump in the challenge to the six counts were former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Ray Stallings Smith, and Robert Cheeley All had pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them. Steve Sadow, Trump's lawyer, said the court's decision to quash the counts is the correct one. "The ruling is a correct application of the law, as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing on those counts," he said in a statement. "The entire prosecution of President Trump is political, constitutes election interference, and should be dismissed." Eastman's attorney, Buddy Parker, said in a statement that "the court stated clearly the state failed to provide what exactly in the U.S. and Georgia constitutions the defendants solicited the public figures to violate, a clear error. We await the state's position on its intention in moving forward on the remaining charges." Allyn Stockton, Giuliani's local lawyer, said the quashing of the six counts was expected, as "there simply was not enough detail to put the defendants on notice of what to defend against." McAfee's ruling The six counts relate to various alleged attempts to solicit state officials to violate their oaths of office, both to the Georgia Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. The judge wrote that the state failed to specify what those violations were, saying the allegations were "so generic as to compel this Court" to quash the six charges. "The court's concern is less that the state has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the defendants — in fact, it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned's opinion, fatal," McAfee wrote. He said that though the six counts as written contain "all the essential elements of the crimes," they "fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e. the underlying felony solicited." Additionally, they don't give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses "intelligently," McAfee wrote, as they could have violated Georgia and U.S. Constitutions "and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways."

Trump. Attorney. Michigan. Arrests. Election interference intel: #BREAKING Pro-Trump Michigan attorney arrested after hearing in DC over leaking Dominion documents A Michigan attorney who unsuccessfully sued to overturn former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss has been arrested after a hearing on a separate case in DC. Stefanie Lambert was arrested by the U.S. Marshals after a hearing over possible sanctions against her for disseminating confidential emails from Dominion Voting Systems, the target of conspiracy theories over former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss. Lambert obtained the Dominion emails by representing Patrick Byrne, a prominent funder of election conspiracy theorists who are being sued by Dominion for defamation. Earlier Monday, Lambert had acknowledged passing on the records from Dominion Voting Systems to “law enforcement.” She then attached an affidavit that included some of the leaked emails and was signed by Dar Leaf, a county sheriff in northern Michigan who has investigated false claims of widespread election fraud from the 2020 election, to a filing in her own case in Michigan. The rest of the documents were posted to an account under Leaf’s name on X. Lambert contended that the Dominion documents obtained under discovery were evidence of “crimes” and needed to be disclosed. Dominion is trying their best to hide exculpatory evidence. If Dominion is not stopped. They will steal the election again. This means they will start another pandemic. To get massive mail-in ballots again. Patterns.

Election interference intel: #BREAKING Judge again declines Trump's latest appeal to delay NY hush money case A New York appeals court on Wednesday declined another bid by former President Trump to delay his hush money trial for the third time this week. The former president’s lawyers took aim at three rulings by Judge Juan Merchan: Refusing to recuse, not delaying the trial until the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim and requiring Trump to seek permission before filing new motions before trial. Trump is using a maneuver under New York state law, known as an Article 78 proceeding, that involves suing the judge over their decisions. The filings were placed under seal and are not publicly available. The Hill has requested comment from Trump’s lawyers. It marked the latest of a series of eleventh-hour efforts by Trump’s lawyers to stop jury selection from beginning Monday, which would mark the first criminal trial of a former president. The three appeals will now go to a full five-judge panel for consideration. The Octogon controls the judges, jury, and prosecutors. We'll see if the Supreme Court rules by Friday or Monday. Which is highly unlikely. If not, the trial will proceed. And then the only way the Supreme Court can rule is on appeal if found guilty. This would mean all appellate courts would have to deny the appeal first before ultimately bringing it before the Supreme Court. Most of the time, that process could take years.

Trump. Trial. Judge. Prosecution. Jury. Election interference intel: #BREAKING Trump’s Manhattan Criminal Trial Begins With Jury Selection Here’s what else to know about Mr. Trump’s trial: This is the Manhattan criminal case against Mr. Trump, and it was brought by the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, a year ago. Mr. Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and, if convicted, could face up to four years in prison. The case, one of four indictments facing the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, may be the only one to make it to trial before Election Day. Jury selection will be crucial for both sides. Prosecutors have some advantage, as the jury pool is drawn from Manhattan, one of the most Democratic counties in America. Mr. Trump’s team will be looking for red needles in a blue haystack. Mr. Trump has twice sought Justice Merchan’s recusal, citing his daughter’s work as a Democratic political consultant. Justice Merchan has declined to step aside, noting a ruling by a judicial ethics commission that found his daughter’s work posed no conflict for him. “There is no agenda here,” Justice Merchan said in court on Monday, adding, “we want to follow the law, we want justice to be done.” Mr. Trump has also attacked the judge’s daughter on social media. Hundreds of potential jurors have been summoned. Those who say they cannot be fair or otherwise serve are being excused, and the remaining prospective jurors will answer 42 questions compiled before the trial. Lawyers on both sides will be able to remove a limited number of them without explanation. The lawyers can also ask to remove a potential juror “for cause” by providing specific reasons they believe that person cannot be fair. In addition to the payment to Ms. Daniels, Mr. Bragg’s office is expected to highlight two other deals involving The National Enquirer, a tabloid that has longstanding ties to Mr. Trump. In one deal, the tabloid bought the silence of a man who had heard that Mr. Trump had fathered a child out of wedlock, a rumor that turned out to be false, and in the other, it paid Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, who wanted to sell her story of an affair with Mr. Trump. The prosecution’s witness list is expected to include David Pecker, the former publisher of The National Enquirer, as well as Hope Hicks, a former aide to Mr. Trump. Ms. Daniels and Ms. McDougal could also testify.■ The judge contends that if Trump misses any day of the trial, he will be arrested and sent to jail. Developing...

The decision to not allow Trump to be in Washington, D.C., on April 25, when the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on a presidential immunity claim Trump is making in his federal criminal case, came just before the New York trial adjourned Monday. “Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there, but a trial in New York Supreme Court … is also a big deal,” Judge Juan Merchan said to Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, rejecting his request to let the former president play hooky.■ These are further comms suggesting that the judge, jurors, and prosecution are in cohoots with the Octogon.

Future comms intel: #BREAKING Supreme Court case set to argue about immunity for President Trump The Supreme Court has scheduled a special session to hear arguments over whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted over his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. The case, to be argued Thursday, stems from Trump’s attempts to have charges against him dismissed. Lower courts have found he cannot claim immunity for actions that, prosecutors say, illegally sought to interfere with the election results. The Republican ex-president has been charged in federal court in Washington with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, one of four criminal cases he is facing. A trial has begun in New York over hush money payments to a porn star to cover up an alleged sexual encounter. The Supreme Court is moving faster than usual in taking up the case, though not as quickly as special counsel Jack Smith wanted, raising questions about whether there will be time to hold a trial before the November election, if the justices agree with lower courts that Trump can be prosecuted. The patterns suggest that Trump will not get immunity from prosecution. What does this mean and why does it matters? This will set future direction to go after all of the other living presidents. But unfortunately, it'll have to start with Trump. The letter of the law has to be followed, especially because of this corrupt 2 tired justice system. Every T crossed. Every I dotted.

@willscharf - Will Scharf
BREAKING: President Trump files motion to dismiss D.C. case A short while ago in federal court in Washington, D.C., President Trump filed a motion to dismiss the case pending against him there for his alleged actions in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. The motion cites presidential immunity as a ground to dismiss the case in its entirety. This is a very big deal. The motion persuasively argues that the D.C. case should be dismissed, and if past practice is any guide all proceedings could and should be stayed while this issue is litigated fully. Notably, this same reasoning should apply to the ongoing Georgia prosecution as well. A number of legal commentators have anticipated this move, and in this thread I’m going to get into the weeds and review the core argument made—that presidential immunity is an absolute bar to the prosecution of President Trump for his alleged acts in office that underlie the federal prosecution in D.C. 1/6
@willscharf - Will Scharf
(A) Presidential Immunity At its heart, President Trump is arguing that presidents, even after their terms in office are over, are absolutely immune from criminal prosecutions arising out of their acts in office that fall within the “outer perimeter” of their official responsibilities as president, unless they have first been both impeached and convicted by the House of Representatives and Senate. And he’s arguing that all of the acts he is alleged to have committed fall within this absolute immunity. This view, as the motion filed today makes clear, is deeply rooted in bedrock legal principles, in caselaw, in the Constitution, and in actual practice dating back centuries. In Nixon v. Fitzgerald, the Supreme Court ruled that a president has absolute immunity from civil liability for acts within the outer perimeter of their official responsibilities. In short, you cannot sue a former president personally because his official acts harmed you. This is unquestioned Supreme Court precedent, based on very serious, core separation of powers concerns. If a president were susceptible to civil suit for his official acts, the Court held that this would “raise unique risks to the functioning of government” in light of the “singular importance of the President’s duties.” The purpose of presidential immunity, the Fitzgerald Court’s view, is to prevent concerns about being sued clouding the president’s judgment and crippling his ability to act—presidents need to be able to discharge their duties to the best of their abilities without having to worry about being haled into court when their terms expire. This well-established immunity doctrine has never been tested in the criminal context, for the simple reason that no president has been subjected to the sort of relentless prosecutions that President Trump has now been faced with, but the motion persuasively argues that the reasoning in Fitzgerald should still apply. 2/6
@willscharf - Will Scharf
(B) Impeachment Clause This view is also rooted in the actual text of the Constitution. The Impeachment Clause of Article I provides that, although impeachment proceedings do not themselves carry a punishment beyond removal from office, a party convicted after impeachment "shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.” By specifying that a president impeached and convicted could be subject to indictment, etc., the Constitution plainly and clearly implies that absent impeachment and conviction a president cannot be criminally prosecuted for his official acts. Democrats impeached President Trump twice, and on both occasions the Senate acquitted him. Absent a conviction at an impeachment trial, presidential immunity applies to all of President Trump’s acts that fall within the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities, and for these acts at least he cannot be prosecuted. 3/6
@willscharf - Will Scharf
(C) Scope of Immunity Are the acts that underlie President Trump’s indictment in D.C. within this “outer perimeter” of his official responsibilities as president? I think the answer is clearly yes. First, it is very important to note that in the context of assessing immunity, the motive of a president is irrelevant. Why the president did something is immaterial; the question is what the president did and whether that was within this very broad outer perimeter of his official responsibilities. And because the scope of presidential authority and of presidential responsibilities is so vast, the catchment of presidential immunity is similarly expansive. When you actually review the alleged acts that underlie the D.C. indictment, my view is that each and every one clearly falls within the other perimeter of President Trump’s official responsibilities. We are talking about things like •Making public statements about the administration of the 2020 federal election; •Communications with public officials, both in the states and in the federal government, about the administration of the 2020 federal election; and •Taking steps, like assembling alternate slates of electors, to allow Congress and/or the Vice President to take action on the federal election fraud that he believed had occurred. Remember, for the purposes of assessing the scope of immunity, intent and veracity/falsity are irrelevant. Your views on whether President Trump’s views on the election were accurate are irrelevant. Your views on why President Trump did what he did are irrelevant. If the acts themselves were presidential acts, falling within the outer perimeter of presidential responsibilities, they cannot form the basis for a criminal prosecution of President Trump, because presidential immunity applies. As a result, since the entire indictment in the D.C. case against President Trump is predicated on acts that he is immune from prosecution for, the case should be dismissed. 4/6
@willscharf - Will Scharf
(D) Appealability One final note on timing: any denial of this motion to dismiss, or any similar motion in Georgia, is likely immediately appealable, as is the case in where Congressional legislative immunity is implicated. Which means, depending on how long it takes Judge Chutkan to rule, this issue could be before the D.C. Circuit and potentially the Supreme Court before long. 5/6

Breaking: I've carefully reviewed the latest brief filed by Trump's legal team which alleges that the US Constitution prohibits the Biden regime's unprecedented attack on our constitutional system through a crazed prosecution of Trump for daring to question Biden's election victory. Trump's legal team makes a powerful and persuasive constitutional case to DISMISS Biden regime's effort to jail him for simply doing his job as president to try to ensure the laws concerning elections were faithfully enforced and followed. The brief's introduction: The President of the United States sits at the heart of our system of government. He is our Nation’s leader, our head of state, and our head of government. As such, the founders tasked the President—and the President alone—with the sacred obligation of “tak[ing] Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3. To ensure the President may serve unhesitatingly, without fear that his political opponents may one day prosecute him for decisions they dislike, the law provides absolute immunity “for acts within the ‘outer perimeter’ of [the President’s] official responsibility.” Nixon v. Fitzgerald 457 U.S. 731, 756 (1982) (quoting Barr v. Matteo, 360 U.S. 564, 575 (1959) (plurality opinion)). Breaking 234 years of precedent, the incumbent administration has charged President Trump for acts that lie not just within the “outer perimeter,” but at the heart of his official responsibilities as President. In doing so, the prosecution does not, and cannot, argue that President Trump’s efforts to ensure election integrity, and to advocate for the same, were outside the scope of his duties. Instead, the prosecution falsely claimsthat President Trump’s motives were impure— that he purportedly “knew” that the widespread reports of fraud and election irregularities were untrue but sought to address them anyway. But as the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution. Spalding v. Vilas, 161 U.S. 483, 494, 949 (1896) (“The ‘allegation of malicious or corrupt motives’ does not affect a public official’s immunity and “[t]he motive that impelled [the official] to do that of which the plaintiff Case 1:23-cr-00257-TSC Document 74 Filed 10/05/23 Page 7 of 52 2 complains is … wholly immaterial.”). Therefore, the Court should dismiss the indictment, with prejudice. Midland Asphalt Corp. v. United States, 489 U.S. 794, 801 (1989) (“Dismissal of the indictment is the proper sanction when a defendant has been granted immunity from prosecution…”) (citation omitted).

/1🚨BREAKING — New AFL whitepaper reveals that the President of the United States has absolute authority over his presidential papers, undermining an essential element of the Biden DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago prosecution. We explain in the thread below…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 This whitepaper details why–as a matter of constitutional law, the Presidential Records Act (PRA), and historical practice–the President of the United States has absolute authority over presidential papers. Neither Congress nor the federal courts may lawfully abrogate or limit this authority.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 This constitutional fact has significant implications for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against Donald J. Trump in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Department of Justice has charged Donald Trump with violating 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), which provides:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 In obtaining the search warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago in 2022, the Biden DOJ relied upon the definition of a “Presidential Record” in 42 U.S.C. § 2201 to support its position that Donald Trump retained documents he did not have the authority to retain at the conclusion of his presidency, and that somehow, the National Archives and Records Administration possessed the authority to require them to be returned.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 As explained in the whitepaper — text, precedent, and executive practice reinforce the historical tradition. The records a President creates or receives while performing the duties of his office are his presidential records. That test does not depend on the content of the records, or whether the records are classified.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 The test does not change when a President leaves office. If, for example, a former President acquires new records after leaving office, those new records would not enjoy the same constitutional status as his presidential records acquired while in office.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 But the Presidential records a President takes with him upon vacating the presidency are his, to do with as he pleases. The President can keep them, sell them, destroy them, or donate them, as all Presidents have done.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8 Other commentators and analysts have asserted that the president has the absolute right under the PRA to determine which records are his, but they have not acknowledged the broader constitutional issues at the heart of the matter...keep reading.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 …Congress does not have the authority under the Constitution to tell the president which records are his and which are not.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 Since the founding of our republic, presidents leaving office have taken custody of their presidential records—the president’s records are his personal property because they were prepared by him, or for him, in furtherance of his official duties. The records also belong to him because the Constitution requires it.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/11 The documents that a president prepares or receives during his term in office belong to him. A reading of the Presidential Records Act that fails to account for a former president’s right to possess and control his records is inconsistent with the text, history, and precedent of presidential records.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/12 Thus, the politically-motivated Florida prosecution of President Trump is impossible under the law. https://aflegal.org/america-first-legal-whitepaper-the-president-of-the-united-states-has-absolute-authority-over-his-presidential-papers-undermining-an-essential-element-of-the-biden-dojs-mar-a-lago-prosecuti/

Tonight, a DC federal appellate panel granted Trump's stay pending appeal of Judge Chutkan's unprecedented and anti-constitutional gag order. Indeed, Trump's legal team made a powerful agrument against the Biden regime and Judge Chutkan: No court in American history has imposed a gag order on a criminal defendant who is actively campaigning for public office—let alone the leading candidate for President of the United States. That centuries-long practice was broken on October 17, 2023, when the district court entered its Opinion and Order, A1 (the “Gag Order”), muzzling President Trump’s core political speech during an historic Presidential campaign. Given the Gag Order’s extraordinary nature, one would expect an extraordinary justification for it. Yet none exists. President Trump has made months of public statements about this case, but the Department of Justice (“the prosecution”) submitted no evidence of any actual or imminent threat to the administration of justice. Instead, when asked about the supposed threat to the case, the prosecution admitted, “of course this prejudice is speculative.” Based this speculation, the district court entered a sweeping, viewpoint-based prior restraint on the core political speech of a major Presidential candidate, based solely on an unconstitutional “heckler’s veto.” The Gag Order violates the First Amendment rights of President Trump and over 100 million Americans who listen to him. President Trump’s uniquely powerful voice has been a fixture of American political discourse for eight years, and central to the American fabric for decades. The prosecution’s claim that his core political speech suddenly poses a threat to the administration of justice is baseless. The prosecutors and potential witnesses addressed by President Trump’s speech are high-level government officials and public figures, many of whom routinely attack President Trump in their own public statements, media interviews, and books. President Trump’s viewpoint and modes of expression resonate powerfully with tens of millions of Americans. The prosecution’s request for a Gag Order bristles with hostility to President Trump’s viewpoint and his relentless criticism of the government—including of the prosecution itself. The Gag Order embodies this unconstitutional hostility to President Trump’s viewpoint. It should be immediately stayed. President Trump requests a ruling on this motion by November 10, 2023, and requests an administrative stay pending the Court’s ruling. President Trump has notified the prosecution, who note that they oppose this motion. President Trump respectfully asks that this appeal be expedited to the greatest extent possible.

So, it turns out there were "at least 200" Feds and undercover operatives working the Trump entrapment plot on January 6. That's according to U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), who sat down for a recent interview on the matter. “The FBI was not just participating in the January 6th acts from within. I suspect they had over 200 agents embedded in the crowd, including agents or, as they would call it, human assets inside the Capitol dressed as Trump supporters before the doors were opened.” This figure is in the realm of possibility, given the newly released J6 videos, court documents, and witness statements. “And when you track the text threads and the communications within those groups and find the origins of suggestions of potential violence or an active occupation of the Capitol on January 6th, you’ll find that those messages were led by members of the groups that ended up to be the FBI agents that had infiltrated the group,” Higgins said. “So the FBI’s involvement was deep, not just on J6, but on the days and weeks and months prior.” There is now zero doubt that J6 was a set-up. The Trump "incitement" narrative had been hatched months prior, as the infamous Time "shadow cabal" article made clear. The J6 riot was war-gamed multiple times before the Electoral College. The FBI unconstitutionally used NSA surveillance to track the extremist groups seeking to disrupt the event. It had Federal informants embedded in multiple extremist groups, including the Proud Boys. Yet, somehow, the FBI and Capitol Police were woefully "unprepared" despite multiple advance warnings, including from then Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. D.C. Mayor Bowser, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and others, refused to press for more National Guard, despite it being documented and on the record that former President Donald Trump wanted 10,000 National Guard troops outside Congress to protect the Electoral College. Also, there was no 'centrally coordinated' plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election, as FBI sources told Reuters in an August 2021 report. Indeed, that was the entire point of the election challenges during the convening of the Electoral College. If Donald Trump wanted to overturn the 2020 election results, he would not have disrupted the Electoral College. He would have continued to pursue his legal challenges and his Constitutional right to challenge electoral slates in Congress. Trump would not have sent in unarmed extremists to disrupt the Electoral College in order to 'retain power.' This is not only illogical, it is absurd on its face. Nonetheless, this ridiculous partisan narrative has constituted the basis for prosecuting a former president in what has devolved into a partisan show trial and tantamount to election interference. It is not only ironic, but a disgrace to our entire justice system. January 6 was a Fed-manufactured riot to frame a sitting president and carry out election interference in 2024. Case closed.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't work for anyone's social media account, but I completely disagree with the ruling against Trump last night. It's a total disgrace and unconstitutional. It's actually a shame and will not stand on appeal. The DC judge claimed that when Trump was speaking on January 6 before the protests at the US Capitol, that speech was not protected by his First Amendment rights. Second and more shockingly, the DC judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, also claimed that Trump was not protected by "presidential immunity" on January 6, 2021, while he was still president. These are very false conclusions by the judge. If Trump had sent American troops to capture a terrorist that day or announced it at that gathering, was that a presidential duty or not? The prosecutors claim that the January 6 event was organized by the campaign. That's completely nonsense. When you're President, you're president until you're no longer in office. But I am no lawyer, and I may be wrong. I just believe that this will not stand on appeal.
@simonateba - Simon Ateba
For those who have not been following, the case is so crazy, was Trump a barber that day? Was he a painter? Could he grant pardon that day or announce it at that event? Was he a driver or the President? And just to clarify again, the judge ruled that Trump and other former presidents "do not have absolute (presidential) immunity for federal crimes committed while in office." Has a crime been established? Was Trump protected by the First Amendment that day? Could he talk about the election? Could he say these elections were rigged against me? Doesn't the First Amendment protect him? You cannot destroy the law and the Constitution to convict one mam ahead of 2024. I'm also against those who claim the judge is ruling this way because she was not born in the United States. That's the wrong way of looking at it. Whether born here or elsewhere, Washington works the same way.....
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
ALL the 4 Trump Indictments will be DISMISSED - soon. Jan. 6 will be dismissed soon, The Georgia case too. Same for the FL and NY cases.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
2) The Trump lawyers - Todd Blanche, Lauro and Singer - have done a great legal job in their 4 Motions to Dismiss. I've read them all - back in October. Those Motions to Dismiss were prepared very carefully. Genius legal work by Trump attorneys Todd Blanche & Co.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
3) Those Motions to Dismiss were prepared NOT for the corrupt judge Chutken, but for the Appellate Court, and for the Supreme Court. That was clear, if you 've read them.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
4) and indeed, now both the Motion to Dismiss for Presidential Immunity, and the Motion to Dismiss for Double Jeopardy are at the Appellate Court. and... the corrupt judge Chutken has been forced to STAY the proceedings.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
5) "STAY the proceedings" means that the corrupt judge Chutken CANNOT do anything. And the entire Trump stuff is OUT of her filthy hands. Everything is suspended, until the Appellate Court decides on the two Trump Motions to Dismiss.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
6) If the Motion to Dismiss for Presidential Immunity is recognized as VALID by the Appellate Court, the entire Jan. 6 Trump Indictments gets DISMISSED, and the deranged SC Jack Smith will be left with NOTHING. The Jan. 6 case will NOT EXIST anymore. No Trial, no Nothing.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
7) Same for the Motion to Dismiss for Double Jeopardy: If recognized as VALID by the Appellate Court, the Jan. 6 Trump Indictment gets DISMISSED.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
8) And not just the Jan. 6 case: If either of the 2 Motions to Dismiss are recognized as VALID, also the Georgia Indictment falls automatically.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
9) and ALL those deranged Bolshevik THUGS - Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Merrick Garland - will be left with NOTHING.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
10) The deranged Jack Smith is in DESPERATE Mode: He has already sent the Presidential Immunity question to the Supreme Court, PRAYING that they take it, and PRAYING them to decide in the shortest possible time.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
11) The Jack Smith move is SUICIDAL: if the Supreme Court rules that on Jan. 6 President Trump HAD the Presidential Immunity, (and he HAD!), the entire Jan. 6 case collapses, and gets thrown out. The Georgia case falls automatically as well.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
12) This is why those 4 Motions to Dismiss have been so well prepared by the Trump lawyers - Todd Blanche, Lauro and Singer: Because they were addressed for the Appellate Court and especially for the Supreme Court. And believe me: those 4 Motions to Dismiss are ROCK SOLID.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
13) And not only they are ROCK SOLID: those 4 Motions to Dismiss are Legal Masterpieces. Thank you Todd Blanche, John Lauro and Gregory Singer!
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
14) Let me Recap the 4 Motions to Dismiss: A- Motion to Dismiss for Presidential Immunity B- Motion to Dismiss for Double Jeopardy C- Motion to Dismiss for Selective and Vindictive Prosecution D- Motion to Dismiss on Constitutional Grounds
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
15) If you want to read those Motions to Dismiss - and I encourage you to do so - you can find them on Google. Type the case number, the Motion to Dismiss of your choice, PDF The case number is: Case No. 1:23-cr-00257-TSC cc: @ChatByCC , @Lara_maga47 , @suzost
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 16) Why Jack Smith has made that SUICIDAL move to address the Supreme Court? The answer is: * * * * * TIME.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 17) The original Jack Smith-Chutken-Garland-Biden EVIL plan was to have the Jan. 6 Trump Trial to begin on March 4, 2024 - The day BEFORE Super-Tuesday, during the hot period of the Republican Primaries - to disrupt the Trump candidacy.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 18) The Trump lawyers have FORCED the STAY in the proceedings, by filing those Motions in the Appellate Court. This means Delay, Delay, Delay.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 19) This means that the March 4, 2024 for the Trump Trial will inevitably SKIP to a later date - even if both the Motions to Dismiss are not GRANTED. The Trump lawyers have filed other motions, plus the Brady stuff has 13 Million pages, and THOUSANDS of hours of videos.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 20) Which means that the Date for the Trial may skip for YEARS - well after the 2024 Elections. You see where this is going...
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 21) Moves and Counter-moves... Like in a chess game.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 22) And this is why Jack Smith (and the Biden Cabal) are in PANIC mode: Having the Trump Trial AFTER the 2024 Elections DEFEATS the Main Purpose of their Political Prosecution of Trump.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 23) After the victory in the 2024 Elections, Trump will be President again, and there will be NO Trial. Again: this IF both the Supreme Court and the Appellate Court DO NOT Grant the Presidential Immunity and the Double Jeopardy motions.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 24) If the Supreme Court or the Appellate Court GRANT either the Presidential Immunity - OR the Double Jeopardy motions - It is ALL OVER. No Trial. Case Dismissed.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 25) In either case, Trump WINS.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost 26) Now the question is: Will the Supreme Court GRANT the Presidential Immunity Motion to Dismiss? I think it is highly likely. The Supreme Court WILL NOT WANT to set such a dangerous precedent. @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 27) Plus, both the Constitution - and the legal history - will force the Supreme Court to grant the Presidential Immunity clause.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 28) As I wrote above, if the Motion to Dismiss for Presidential Immunity is GRANTED: - The Jan. 6 case falls apart. DISMISSED. - The Georgia case falls apart as well. DISMISSED.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 29) The NY case has already fallen apart. And there will be an Appeal for MISTRIAL. Only the FLA case remains - The Classified Docs case. But Trump has a good judge there - Aileen Cannon - so there won't be any problem in FLA: case DISMISSED.
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 30) Trump wins 4-0
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 31) And on the opposite side? - Demented Joe Biden is now under Official Impeachment Inquiry, - Hunter Biden in big legal trouble (and he spent $872,000 in PROSTITUTES!!!) Where can you find a more depraved family than the Bidens?
@GregRubini - Greg Rubini - The #Fauci Files - gregrubini.com
@ChatByCC @Lara_maga47 @suzost @KariLake @SarahPalinUSA 32) and let's not forget those disgusting showers that Joe Biden forced her daughter Asley to have with him, when she was a child... Where can you find a more depraved family than the Bidens?

This is what an *actual* attack on democracy looks like: in an un-American, unconstitutional, and *unprecedented* decision, a cabal of Democrat judges are barring Trump from the ballot in Colorado. Having tried every trick in the book to eliminate President Trump from running in this election, the bipartisan Establishment is now deploying a new tactic to bar him from ever holding office again: the 14th Amendment. I pledge to *withdraw* from the Colorado GOP primary unless Trump is also allowed to be on the state’s ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country. Today’s decision is the latest election interference tactic to silence political opponents and swing the election for whatever puppet the Democrats put up this time by depriving Americans of the right to vote for their candidate of choice. The 14th Amendment was part of the “Reconstruction Amendments” that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States. And there’s another legal problem: Trump is not a former “officer of the United States,” as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an “officer of the United States” is someone appointed by the President to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the President himself. The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled to see this narrow provision—intended to bar former U.S. officials who switched to the Confederacy from seeking public office—being weaponized by a sitting President and his political allies to prevent a former President from seeking reelection. Our country is becoming unrecognizable to our Founding Fathers.

If presidents aren’t immune from being criminally charged for official acts, as SCOTUS seems to be threatening to rule, then Biden and his entire entourage — including much of top DOJ brass — are 100% going down for what they’ve done during this presidency, but especially for the crimes they committed and then excused with this special counsel. And not just Biden: George W. Bush and Barack Obama better lawyer up, too. Those WMDs didn’t invent themselves, and those kids didn’t drone themselves. Nope, it took presidents to do that. Biden directing his DOJ to indict his chief political opponent for crimes which Biden’s own DOJ says Biden committed, then obstructing justice by intimidating government attorneys and telling them to destroy evidence, and then tying it all up by making sure DOJ let Biden off the hook? Oh you better believe every single person involved in that will be facing prison time. Every last political appointee, lawyer, paralegal, and department functionary involved was clearly part of an illegal conspiracy to defraud the United States and her people. See how easy that is? And all takes to make it happen is one prosecutor and the right jury pool. SCOTUS can do the right thing and toss every last one of these idiotic lawless Biden-directed cases against Trump, or SCOTUS can guarantee that the rest of this country’s short history—this republic is careening toward a cliff with a cinder block tied down to the gas pedal—will be consumed with politicians and judges and their government allies and their families spending every last minute and dollar they have fending off criminal charges from their political opponents. Ruling the “wrong” way on a case? Well that looks like criminal corruption and abuse of office. Appointing the “wrong” person? Clearly that was part of a criminal kickback scheme. Voting for the “wrong” law? Textbook case of being bought off by donor lobbyists. Authoring the “wrong” court decision? Better hope the prosecutor who targets you doesn’t have a hopelessly partisan jury pool in his back pocket that will indict a ham sandwich if it was ordered by someone from the “wrong” political party. That’s the future if Biden is allowed to indict his opponents for crimes his own attorneys say he committed while refusing to charge him for it. This isn’t theory. It isn’t an intellectual exercise or a fun 3am dorm room. This is reality, and it will happen. That is, unless saner heads prevail, and head this nonsense off at the pass. Do any of those saner heads exist anymore in Washington? We’ll find out soon enough.
@kylenabecker - Kyle Becker
Yale Law Professor Has Brilliant Plan for Trump Legal Team to Overturn 'Guilty' Verdict Before the Election "Could Trump actually be put in jail? You bet he could." "Each count of this 34 count indictment has a maximum penalty attached to it of four years. Well, that's four times 34. That's a maximum sentence, prison sentence of 136 years." "Will he do that? Of course not. He won't. But could he sentence him to some incarceration? Yes, he could. Will he? Nobody knows." Yale Law Professor Jeb Rubenfield, who teaches Advanced Constitutional Law, counseled the Trump legal team on a course of action that could potentially see his 'guilty' verdict overturned before the 2024 election. "Now, when is sentencing scheduled for? Well, Judge Merchan has set it for July 11th." "Will something happen between then and now? Yes. Trump's team will ask for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict." "They'll ask for Judge Merchan to throw out the jury's verdict and find Trump innocent despite the verdict, and Judge Merchan will turn that down." "Then there will be arguments about what the sentence should be briefing on both sides, possibly even a hearing. Then on July 11th, sentencing will be announced. And at that point, that triggers the Trump team's right to appeal." "To what court would they appeal? Well, they would appeal to New York's appellate level court... And after the appellate court rules, then the case could go up to New York's highest court, which is actually called the Court of Appeals... And after that, the case could go up to the Supreme Court." "And ultimately it might well go to the Supreme Court where finally we will have a definitive, conclusive ruling on whether the conviction was constitutional or not." Professor Rubenfield identified a massive, glaring problem with this legal appeals process. "Of course that would take years, and that's a problem here. Why is it a problem? It's a problem because the election will have taken place and if this conviction is unlawful and unconstitutional, it could have an effect on that election." "There are surveys, many polls in which a substantial number of American voters say they will not vote for Trump if he is convicted of a felony. Many independents say that, many Republicans even say that. If that's true, an unlawful conviction in this case could interfere with and in fact decide the outcome of the next election of the next President of the United States" "Even if the conviction were reversed on appeal years later, that effect could not be undone in legal terms. That's called IRREPARABLE HARM. The irreparable harm, once again, is that a 'convicted felon' could affect the election, could decide the election." "And if so, then District Attorney Bragg and Judge Merchan will have UNLAWFULLY INTERFERED with the election and decided the outcome of the next election through unconstitutional means. And no years long appeal could have any effect on that." This is the critical point that Professor Rubenfield makes: There is another way. "Well, is that where we are? So are we stuck with that possibility? Well, believe it or not, there is one other avenue that the Trump lawyers could pursue. They could sue in federal court and ask for an emergency temporary restraining order." "Restraining order of what? Well, let me tell you something that you might not know. You've probably been reading in the press if you've been reading about this case. The Trump is already a "convicted felon." The jury has convicted him. He's a "convicted felon." "Well, guess what? THAT'S NOT TRUE." "You're not a convicted felon because of a jury verdict. You're not convicted unless the judge enters a judgment of guilt against you. The judge still has the power, as I told you before, to throw out that verdict and enter a judgment of acquittal. You are not convicted until the judge enters that judgment of guilt." "Now in New York, it's very likely that Judge Merchan will enter that judgment of guilt against Trump on the same day that he issued sentencing. That'd be July 11th." "So what would this federal case be about in this federal action? Trump would sue District Attorney Bragg and other state actors and ask the judge, the federal judge, for an emergency temporary restraining order halting Judge Merchan from entering that judgment of guilt until the federal courts have had an opportunity to review and rule on the serious constitutional arguments that exist here." "Let me tell you why I think that might be a very important thing to happen. Because going after, criminally, a former president of the United States and somebody who is running for president now, that's a VERY BAD LOOK for this country." "It's an especially bad look when the folks bring in the case and the judge deciding it are members of the opposing political party. And it's an even worse look when the crime is so unclear that the state is hiding the ball about what the actual charges are right up through the trial and indeed into the trial." "And even now, we don't know exactly what the jury found Trump guilty of. If you're going to go after a former president and somebody who's running for president now the poll leading candidate, if you're a member of the other party and you're going to do that, YOU BETTER HAVE THE GOODS. You better not be pursuing some novel legal theory where you have to hide the ball. It's not even clear what the charges are." "That could be a very dangerous precedent for this country. A very bad and dangerous precedent." "That's why it's so important for a federal court to review the constitutionality of this prosecution and decide, was it constitutional, was it not?" "The only way to achieve that before the election takes place is for the Trump team to file an action in federal court and ask the federal court to temporarily hold off the entry of the judgment of guilt until the federal courts and maybe the Supreme Court itself can on an emergency basis adjudicate the likelihood of success of these constitutional arguments." "If that doesn't happen, then that IRREPARABLE HARM danger that I mentioned before, well that's where we are." "But if it does happen, the nation could get a ruling from the federal courts, even the Supreme Court of the United States, before the election takes place." "Maybe that's what the nation needs and maybe that's what the law requires here. So if I were Trump's lawyer, that's probably what I would do."

According to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in Seal Team 6 to take all of them out. He could send in the military to take out Trump. He has “immunity” for official acts now!
@harryjsisson - Harry Sisson
All of these MAGA lunatics are saying that this is suggesting violence when the first 5 words are “according to the Supreme Court…” Also, this is in reference to Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent which included this exactly https://t.co/9zfEafCPUN

There is now incontrovertible evidence that Obama spearheaded a seditious conspiracy to subvert the result of the 2016 election. He needs to be held to his own standard. Let him then claim “presidential immunity” to avoid life in prison or the death penalty.

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs. Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding: Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed. https://t.co/w1DND511SS
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler So what did co-author Maria Stephan do next? She became Chief Organizer of the Horizons Project. And on July 16, 2025, she trained New Kings participants on video. "Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters." https://t.co/j2R2uh0qSv
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler 130,000 people are told: "When they crack and power within them shifts, the entire edifice can crumble." "They" = security forces... our military. Yes, Stefan's teachings are now informing a mass American audience that it's how you bring down a government. https://t.co/CEStbNLYeN

It gets worse. Hardy Merriman — Gene Sharp's personal assistant, co-author of the CANVAS regime change field manual used in 50+ countries — wrote a domestic version. It says: "Those who serve in government institutions swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. They don't swear allegiance to the president himself." Then it teaches them how to defect: call in sick, work slowly, ignore orders, leak to media, publicly defy.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Now look at what their own planning document says about Hegseth. The "Democracy Playbook 2025" — the same document that teaches "dealing with security forces" and color revolution case studies — cites this in footnote 49: "Pete Hegseth had been flagged by fellow service member as possible 'Insider Threat'" — AP, November 15, 2024. 72 hours after his nomination. In a regime change manual.

Then the operation went live. November 11, 2025: The National Lawyers Guild Military Law Task Force publishes "FAQ on Refusing Illegal Orders." November 12: Same group publishes a statement calling U.S. Venezuela operations "war crimes" and declaring officers "should refuse superior orders." Remember these dates.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Six days later. November 18. Six Democratic members of Congress — all military veterans — release a video telling active-duty troops: "You MUST refuse illegal orders." https://t.co/P5iQ2LFQQS

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Five of the six were recruited through a single organization: New Politics Leadership Academy. One pipeline. One talent program. Five of six. Mark Kelly was the sixth. https://t.co/Gh1cNNTwVl
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler The administration took the bait. Exactly as the playbook predicted. Trump called them "traitors" and threatened death. Hegseth opened a Pentagon investigation. Grand jury convened under 18 USC 2387... sedition. It failed. https://t.co/xgXmqde6fB
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Daniel Driscoll — Secretary of the Army — has been MORE disruptive than Hegseth. Cancelled the M10 Booker. Halted Humvee production. His confirmation vote... 66-28 versus Hegseth's 51-50. Zero organized opposition for Driscoll. Why? https://t.co/6OE6iEyJSt
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Because Driscoll is someone the system can work with. He's Yale Law with cross-partisan relationships. Like this one: Daniel Driscoll's wife donated over six thousand dollars to Maggie Goodlander, one of the Seditious Six. https://t.co/NJpeUMM2qD
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The color revolution playbook has one tool for security forces: social pressure through professional networks to induce defection. Driscoll is embedded in those networks. He can be pulled away. Hegseth isn't. He was never attached. The system can't co-opt him... so its only option is removal. That's why Driscoll gets 16 Democratic votes and puff pieces. That's why Hegseth gets grand juries.

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Yes, Braver Angels is tied. IMIP hosted a "Pre-Huddle for Braver Angels Convention" on June 13, 2024. Tabatha Pilgrim Thompson, from the Horizons Project, Maria Stephan's organization, was on the call. Watch below: https://t.co/HjP5dFau24

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler And MWEG? Same table. Jennifer Thomas if MWEG on the IMIP call, February 2024: "We couldn't have done it without people like you." https://t.co/MUbwQFIj87
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler IMIP's Sterling Speirn responds: "If you have a Mormon Women's chapter in your community, you're going to have a little passing gear already in place." MWEG is the grassroots arm. IMIP is the coordination layer. And Maria Stephan's Horizons Project is a part of this same series. https://t.co/DTyzrvOG9i

@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler When Hegseth took his seat on the USIP board, the institutional home where the color revolution playbook was developed, the acting president physically barricaded the building. They sent DOGE staff, FBI agents, and DC police to get in. https://t.co/MVdcSz95F0
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
CONCLUSION: Pete Hegseth named the institutions in 37 seconds. The institutions responded with: - Pre-positioned oppo research activated in 72 hours - A regime change planning document citing him by name - A legal predicate for military disobedience published the same week as the Seditious Six video - A pipeline that produced the cohort - A grand jury they couldn't win - A replacement they CAN co-opt - Braver Angels and MWEG sitting at the same table as the color revolution coordinators - A physical barricade at the building where the playbook was written They're not trying to get rid of a bad SecDef. They're trying to remove the one obstacle that makes their entire methodology fail.

@OGPdawg @PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler Nearly every institution has been captured; that's the problem. It's easier to kidnap a Venezuelan dictator than to convict a Democrat of murder in a D.C. jury, even with a signed confession.
