Trump's legal advisers urge him to cancel press conference to refute Georgia allegations: Sources
ABC News ^ | August 17th, 2023 | Katherine Faulders and Jonathan Karl

Former President Donald Trump's promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Sources tell ABC News that Trump's legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it. Trump announced the planned press conference with a social media post shortly after he and 18 co-defendants were indicted late Monday in Georgia. He said he would present, "A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia."

Georgia's Republican governor responded to that with his own social media post declaring, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward -- under oath -- and prove anything in a court of law.”

Campaigning in Iowa, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he agreed with Kemp. And so did former Vice President Mike Pence, who said on Wednesday, "The Georgia election was not stolen."

Then take it up with the judge and let it be decided according to due process but regardless the government was never required to notify Trump or his team of the warrant

here’s the deal - there is the legal case to worry about and defend, and there is the case in the court of public opinion. Trump has to make sure opinions about his guilt aren’t formed by media bias, pointed gov’t leaks - because he is running a political campaign. votes may very well occur before any cases wrap up with a verdict. so it’s not a simple task ahead of Trump. not.at.all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They don’t even bother to mention Kemp’s name. His only use to them is that he’s a Republican.

Hey Kemp, how does it feel to be a literal tool of the left?

“Then take it up with the judge”

LOLOLOL.

Yes, comrade, the peoples’ judges would never decide things unfairly in the Supreme Court of the Peoples’ Justice for the Revolution!

The purpose of the press conference might not be to show that the election was a steal, but to show that Trump really believes it was stolen there’s enough evidence for a reasonable person to be suspicious.

What I said is just common sense - if he has proof, he should save it for the courtroom. What's disrespectful about that?

Also, just a reminder - we elect presidents to serve us. We don't serve them. They are our employees. Get some perspective.

You have a very unique definition of reasonable. As a matter of fact Sidney Powell used reasonable ad a reason what she’s been saying shouldn’t be accepted as gospel on the topic.

That could be entirely true, but what is the alternative, give me something that is legal, I don’t think you can.

It’s ridiculous and not right but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it is real and Trump has to do everything in his power to defend himself, it only takes one person to stop any particular trial, however improbably that might be.

Reasonable to judges and jurors.

“give me something that is legal, I don’t think you can”

There do come times in history when your list of legal options dwindles to zero, and that doesn’t change just because you don’t want to face it.

“Trump has to do everything in his power to defend himself”

Sure, but I think sensible people already know “everything in his power” won’t avail, even if it should.

All of these evils stem from the cowardice of Pompous Pence on Jan. 6, 2021.

If the “machines” were “cleared” by Raffensberger, they may as well have asked Pedo Joe to “clear” it.

Raffie was the Leader of the Parade.
