Prosecutors asked permission to file public version of brief with references to testimony from Trump’s closest aides
Donald Trump’s lawyers made a last-ditch effort on Tuesday to limit the amount of evidence that could become public that special counsel prosecutors collected during their criminal investigation into the former US president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The prosecutors last week filed under seal a brief, which may be as long as 180 pages, to presiding US district judge Tanya Chutkan that defends the viability of the charges against Trump even after the US supreme court’s presidential immunity ruling.
Simultaneously, the prosecutors asked the judge to allow them to file a public version of the secret brief with quotations and references to grand jury testimony from some of Trump’s closest aides, such as his former chief of staff, and his former vice-president, Mike Pence.
Everyone knows he’s guilty. His supporters just don’t care that he did it.
The only problem is he failed.
If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to hide right.
He doesn’t care. Even with a felony conviction, he still thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.
Oh, no, he definitely knows he did something wrong. He just knows that if he pushes hard enough, there’s a chance he can get away with it. Trump is a psychopath who knows that rules are only as powerful as their enforcement, and he’s been weaseling his way by them his whole life.
He knows he broke the law… he doesn’t know he did something wrong…
Trump is a psychopath
Trump is a weird, old, ruthless, malignant narcissistic psychopath - FTFY
with a felony conviction,
The validity of the court is directly related to how they fulfill his goals. In a society based on loyalty first, that’s his most important criteria.
Ergo, to him, the court and all its rulings are wrong, because they didn’t pass the ethics test of Doing What Trump Wants.
Does everyone remember when he was originally saying he was totally innocent and everthing he was accused of was a democratic smear campaign?
Because ….
Innocent people don’t hide shit like this.
Duh.
Came to these comments hoping to see some thoughts about what this evidence includes. But none. Is no one even curious??
It’s generally not a good idea to assume things of others. That’s what they often do to their rivals and it doesn’t ever work out well for them.
Speculation just dilutes the water.
Maybe it includes a copy of the treasure map from the back of the Constitution and it’s inside the white house because he procrastinated on grabbing it while he was there and he wants to keep it quiet so that Biden doesn’t get it before Trump can.
Though if I had to guess for real, maybe it’s communications that refer to his cult in not so friendly terms? Like maybe he said some things about what he really thought about them, which probably don’t reflect well on their intelligence or value.
Though, as the other commenter said, there’s no real value in this speculation other than for entertainment.
