As we all know, we live in a time of a 24 hour news cycle. If big news comes out, it will capture attention at best for 48 hours before it is replaced with the next big story. Many have pointed fingers at the timing of Trump being notified of him being the target of an investigation. Notibly, with the whistle blower testistomony Wednesday, the timing seems targeted to cause distraction. This is at least what we are being told. I find a few red flags with this narrative.
1. The testimony only became a big news headline Monday night. If the goal was to thwart this hearing becoming a headline, then the announcement would have been made publicly rather than left to Trump and would have been made after the transcribed testimony provided the dancing evidence rather than before.
2. Since when does trump wait 2 full days before he spouts off about something like this? If he was notified on Sunday, waiting for 2 days before saying a word seems very out of character for President Trump. He would have that statement ready to go Monday afternoon.
3. Keeping the above in mind, why would he be given the information on Sunday? If they wanted to detract from the hearing, knowing the short attention span of the Amarican people today, they would have given it to him Monday, hoping to dominate the media attention for 24-36 hours and straight past the hearing
4. This brings me back to Trumps break in usual pattern. Why, being admittedly very good with utilizing and manipulating the media and timing his publicity, would trump make a statement the day before such an important hearing? Why the sudden change in his behavior which is so perfectly timed? He is not dumb and outside of his knee jerk outbursts is very calculating.
Fellow freepers, looking at the behavioral patterns of all involved, I can only conclude:
A. Trump wishes to highlight the injustice, though I do not believe he is so niave to think anyone but his base will see anything except either "this gives biden a pass", "they are all corrupt", or that most won't even notice the hearing because the media loves a good trump show.
B. Trump wants to burry this hearing to control what his base takes away. Maybe something that Biden did, however small it may be, he knows might also be turned on him so he wants to turn attention elsewhere?
C. The deep state is deeper than we realize and trump is helping hide the cards until they decide if the people will vote him in the primary or they need to oust Biden to defeat an outsider...
I would love yalls thoughts. No matter what though, it smells like I just got off a shrimp boat!
Your point is?
Yup.
I laugh at the idea that Smith was appointed to investigate Trump.
He was appointed to INDICT Trump.
The “investigation”, that is, finding evidence of any wrongdoing, was an afterthought, because he was destined to be found guilty of something.
“ Trump is following an 8 year game plan. Minor changes in the plan are necessary from time to time.”
12 year game plan now.
Did Trump do anything right in your mind?
We have a warrior that none have done better or could do better but you want to just sit and bitch at your keyboard.
GET OFF YOUR ASS A DO SOMETHING. HELP THE SITUATION.
AND LETS BE CLEAR, YOU ARE NOT HELPING.
He’s trying to make bedt of bad situation. Clearly the left feels the more they pile on legally the greater the likelihood he wins the GOP nomination. That’s what they want. As much as his base will vote for him no matter, the independents, blue collar Dems, regular Repubs are not going to vote for a candidate under multiple federal indictments. Hence Biden or whoever wins going away.
“Add Trump signing the Pelosi budget which gave us
87,000 New Dem IRS Agents to destroy our lives”
That was Biden's budget you idiot.
Were you a Jeb Bush supporter in 2016?
Anyhow, wasn’t simply unbearable under Trump rule?
“You are a fool”
Explain how I’m a fool. Maybe Yer a paintball nut. See how dumb that sounds.
Not going to prison. SCOTUS will overrule these kangaroo courts. There is no there there. As Rush used to say, it is the seriousness of the charge. We went thru this with the Russia hoax, the Mueller investigation, two impeachments, etc.
Read some of my posts. You’ll feel a lot better about your grammar. I would say unquestionably that this is all choreographed to the tune you just described.
OK fine. I see Trump as someone who's no conservative, but rather a phony pretender, who moves further to the left every day. All people like you do is make excuse after excuse after excuse for him. Let me know when he finally comes out on top on something important again, it's only been since 2018 since he scored a single win. Since then he's been about as competent as Wile E. Coyote, and made the Deep State look like the Road Runner.
BS. None of this goes to trial until after the election. If Trump wins, all of these fake charges are defunct.
😁

No, you aren't exhibiting critical thinking skills, because every option you provide to chose from has some query as to why Trump is reacting differently than what you presume is his normal behavior. In other words, you are trying to make it look as if Trump is playing someone.
You really offer no clean choice at all, which is the reality. That lawfare is being deployed because they fear Donald John Trump, and he is leading in all the polls & by large margins.
Are you a DeSantis supporter? Will you answer that question honestly?
You can't be a Trump supporter, because a true Trump supporter would not even begin to offer up what you offered up.
Funny, you’ve been on FR just slightly longer than me. You might recall and can look to see that in 2016 I initially supported Cruz, then switched to Trump. I supported Trump in 2020. I moved on to DeSantis around May of this year.
LOL. Yeah, this is the Dem strategy to get Trump the nomination. You have multiple indictments to insure Trump is the nominee. Without the indictments, some other Rep would win the primary. The reality is that Trump already had the nomination locked up the day he announced he was running for re-election.
Biden has a lousy record and even the overwhelming majority of his party don’t want him to run. His approval ratings are in the toilet and on the issues, they are even worse. He has the most unpopular VP in history. He can’t draw a crowd and he is shot physically and mentally. And now as the revelations on the Biden Crime Family gush out, even the MSM can’t ignore them.
Trump beat Biden in 2020 and can do it again. The only way the Dems win is to steal it like they did last time.

Makes sense. DeSwamp hired a bunch of the 2016 Cruz campaign, and they going thru the same failed playbook page by page.
