I have to say "Grifter King" is probably my favorite nickname for the Rapist. "The Rapist" is a close second. He needs to carry a permanent nickname like "the Virgin Connie Swail" in dragnet. "The Rapist Donald Trump" is how he should always be referred to as when he is mentioned anywhere.

The Grifter King and The Tiger King(Joe Exotic) could have a gay-love documentary of them in prison together. ❤️ I'm visualizing a great promo illustration of the two of them along the lines of The Grifter King's Rambo flag, just way gayer.

Bombshell immunity filing details Trump's alleged 'increasingly desperate' bid to overturn 2020 election

Special counsel Jack Smith has outlined new details of former President Donald Trump and his allies' sweeping and "increasingly desperate" efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, in a blockbuster court filing Wednesday aimed at defending Smith's prosecution of Trump following the Supreme...
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Trump intentionally lied to the public, state election officials, and his own vice president in an effort to cling to power after losing the election, while privately describing some of the claims of election fraud as "crazy," prosecutors alleged in the 165-page filing.

"When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office," the filing said. "With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost."

When Trump's effort to overturn the election through lawsuits and fraudulent electors failed to change the outcome of the election, prosecutors allege that the former president fomented violence, with prosecutors describing Trump as directly responsible for "the tinderbox that he purposely ignited on January 6."

"The defendant also knew that he had only one last hope to prevent Biden's certification as President: the large and angry crowd standing in front of him. So for more than an hour, the defendant delivered a speech designed to inflame his supporters and motivate them to march to the Capitol," Smith wrote.

The lengthy filing -- which includes an 80-page summary of the evidence gathered by investigators -- outlines multiple instances in which Trump allegedly heard from advisers who disproved his allegations, yet continued to spread his claims of outcome-determinative voter fraud, prosecutors said.

"It doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell," Trump allegedly told members of his family following the 2020 election, the filing said.

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said "This entire case is a partisan, Unconstitutional Witch Hunt that should be dismissed entirely,"

In her order allowing the redacted filing to become public, Judge Chutkan addressed the defense's accusations of partisan bias.

"Defendant's opposition brief repeatedly accuses the Government of bad-faith partisan bias," the judge wrote. "These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand."

"Not only is that focus unresponsive and unhelpful to the court, but it is also unbefitting of experienced defense counsel and undermining of the judicial proceedings in this case," Chutkan wrote. "Future filings should be directed to the issues before the court." (translation: trump has no defense to the charges other than "im being picked on again")

Prosecutors allege that Trump and his allies "sought to create chaos" at polling places -- including one instance when a campaign employee encouraged a colleague to "make them riot" at an ongoing vote count in Detroit -- which the former president later used to support his claims of voter fraud. (so a trump campaign employee wanted to cause a riot at a polling location so that trump could then use that riot as evidence of voter fraud)

"The throughline of these efforts was deceit: the defendant's and co-conspirators' knowingly false claims of election fraud," the filing said.

In addition to outlining the instances when Trump was directly corrected about his allegations of voter fraud, the filing said Trump privately called allegations of voter fraud made by his lawyer Sidney Powell as "crazy" -- despite employing similar arguments to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election, prosecutors allege.

In justifying his case against Trump, Smith alleged that Trump acted as an office-seeker rather than an officeholder when he committed crimes, and that he "must stand trial for his private crimes as would any other citizen."
 
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the right thing to do. Right and wrong. It’s not that difficult. Guess I took Civics as a subject worthwhile, it must have stuck. Once we let our presidents make this kind of power grab, where am I living? Right and wrong. Foundational principles. Sappy stuff like that. It’s not that difficult.

Trump sought to ‘perpetuate himself in power’​

Smith’s office stressed the private and political nature of Trump’s actions around the 2020 election.

“The executive branch,” prosecutors wrote, “has no authority or function to choose the next president.”

That argument appeared designed for federal appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, that have placed a heavy emphasis in recent years on the historical understanding of the separation of powers.

In other words, Smith is arguing that Trump’s effort to overturn the election was necessarily private because the Constitution gives a president no official authority for choosing his successor.

“The defendant’s charged conduct directly contravenes these foundational principles,” the motion reads. “He sought to encroach on powers specifically assigned by the Constitution to other branches, to advance his own self-interest and perpetuate himself in power, contrary to the will of the people.”

 
The narrative begins in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election, when prosecutors said Trump was briefed on the likelihood that many Democratic voters would cast their ballots by mail and have their votes counted after Election Day. Investigators alleged Trump told his advisers that he would "simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted and any winner was projected."


This plan was repeated by an unnamed political adviser, according to Smith, who wrote that the adviser told a private gathering of supporters three days before the election that Trump plans to "just declare victory. Right? He's going to declare victory. That doesn't mean he's the winner, he's just going to say he's the winner."

"Immediately following election day on November 3, the defendant did exactly that," prosecutors alleged, despite the fact that Trump's advisers — including Pence — "informed him he would likely lose" and that his claims of voter fraud "were false."

The filing described how Trump and his aides allegedly planned to challenge the election results far in advance of Election Day and pressured Vice President Mike Pence to reject Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021. In one striking passage, prosecutors said Trump replied, "So what?" when he was told that Pence could be in danger at the Capitol.

Prosecutors said that while some of the former president's top campaign staff were telling him that he lost, he went on to tap his personal attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, to spread false claims about the integrity of the election. Giuliani's name is redacted in the filing, but context makes clear whom prosecutors are referring to.


The special counsel cites a conversation between two political operatives in which they discuss Trump firing his deputy campaign manager and putting Giuliani in charge.

The Trump campaign's legal strategy then allegedly turned to various swing states where they sought to challenge Joe Biden's victory in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan. According to prosecutors, Trump and his allies allegedly pushed false claims of fraud and tried to use those claims as a basis to appoint an alternate slate of electors that would support the unsubstantiated claims of victory. They also tried to pressure local and state officials into complying with their plans, according to prosecutors.

"As late as January, the conspirators attempted to keep the full nature of the elector plan secret," the special counsel said. The special counsel wrote that Trump's "steady stream of disinformation" culminated in his speech outside the White House that preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.


Smith wrote that the government plans to introduce evidence regarding phone calls and meetings between Trump and Pence "in which they did not discuss Pence's official responsibilities as president of the Senate and instead acted in their private capacities as running mates."


Trump and his allies pressured Pence to unilaterally toss out the electoral votes from key battleground states during the joint session and reverse Mr. Biden's win, prosecutors allege.

Prosecutors said that after learning Pence had been forced to leave the Capitol, the aide rushed into the White House's private dining room to tell Trump "in hopes that [he] would take action to ensure Pence's safety." After delivering the news, Trump looked at the aide and said, according to the filing, "So what?"

During his speech on Jan. 6, prosecutors alleged Trump "told his crowd many of the same lies he had been telling for months" and "made clear that he expected his supporters to take action."

"The defendant directed his supporters to go to the Capitol and suggested he would go with them," the special counsel said.


As his supporters breached the Capitol, Trump monitored Twitter and Fox News, according to prosecutors, and issued messages targeting Pence. Prosecutors included many of Trump's tweets about the attack and alleged Trump "refused" requests from many of his advisers "to issue a calming message and make efforts to stop the riot."

They revealed in the filing that forensic evidence from the former president's iPhone and observations by witnesses will show that Trump "sat in the dining room by the Oval Office, where he used his phone to review Twitter and watched television," which was showing coverage of the Capitol attack.

An FBI forensic examiner can testify about the news and social media applications downloaded on Trump's phone, according to the filing, and can describe how it was being used throughout the afternoon of Jan. 6.

Prosecutors said the activity log on Trump's phone also shows he was using it — and the Twitter app in particular — consistently throughout the day.

As to what was playing on the television in the dining room, Smith and his team wrote that three unidentified White House staffers can speak to what Trump was watching. Prosecutors plan to introduce "authenticated coverage" showing what was airing on Fox News in real time while Trump was tuned in, they said.

Notably, investigators revealed Trump and his allies — including Giuliani — allegedly attempted to "exploit the violence and chaos at the Capitol" in a bid to delay the election certification further by calling senators and leaving voicemails asking that they object to the states.

If it actually gets to the supreme Court they've already shown they don't give a ****. Corruption runs deep, rots to the core. They won't hesitate to turn everything over to Trump. He'll keep them from being impeached themselves, so he's their lifeline as they are his. A match made in hell.

The only hope we have at all is for Trump to simply lose the election, and lose it so big that he would have to try to turn half the country to overturn it, not just a few counties.

I consider the election in 2020 to be a loss because it was far far too close. If this one is a nail biter, which is what it looks like it will be, even if Kamala wins we still haven't done enough to rid the U.S. of Trumpism.

That Trump has done all the things he has done, is the person that he is, and still has the vote of a very significant portion of this country is bat **** crazy. Speaking of which, they caught a bat in Pioneer Park today that tested positive for rabies, and many people were exposed to the bat (for anyone who doesn't know, Pioneer park is homeless people central in Salt Lake City and has been since at least the 80s). That bat is less crazy, with all its rabies, than voting for Donald Trump.

I liked this part:
We already knew from the Jan. 6 House Select Committee hearings that multiple Trump administration and campaign officials were adamant in their repeated admonitions to Trump that he had lost the election and claims of election fraud were baseless. One senior Trump campaign advisor dunked on the election fraud claims as “conspiracy **** beamed down from the mothership” and “derogatorily referred” the lawyers who were pushing these legal cases as the “Star Wars bar,” meaning the bizarre alien creatures from the cantina scene in George Lucas’ hit film.

“You can see why we’re 0-32 on our cases,” this advisor wrote. The final tally would have Trump and his allies losing over 60 cases, many in front of Republican-appointed — some even Trump-appointed — judges, and several of these “Star Wars bar” lawyers are facing disbarment and their own criminal prosecutions, including Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and Sidney Powell. Lol. Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

This is a great summary of the case against trump. A great read. I recommend everyone to read it.
Trump is a traitor. He should be in jail for what he did during the 2020 elections season.

Fomenting rebellion is equivalent to waging war in my book. He should stand trial for treason. Plain and simple. And be held accountable for every death that day.
