MSNBC Analyst: Trump's Alleged Jail Worries Show 'Overwhelming Consciousness of Guilt'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/24/2023 5:12:19 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

on MSNBC on Saturday, host Jonathan Capehart brought up wild speculation (based on anonymous sources) that Trump was shaking in his boots at the prospect of being imprisoned.

Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner was asked to comment on a report in Rolling Stone (the Fake Rape News magazine) that Trump had wondered to unidentified associates about the conditions of his possible imprisonment, including whether he'd be sent to a relatively comfortable "Club Fed" type prison, or to a "bad" one.

According to Kirschner, Trump's alleged curiosity meant he was "scared to death" and feeling "overwhelming consciousness of guilt."

The trial on January 6 charges will be held in Washington, DC, where the jury will be drawn from a pool of voters that went for Biden over Trump by an overwhelming 92%/5% margin.

And the case will be presided over by Judge Tanya Chutkan. Trump has sought to have Chutkan recuse herself from the case, alleging her lack of impartiality.

Among other evidence thereof, Trump's lawyers cited these remarks by Chutkan at a sentencing hearing for J6 defendants:

“The people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man – not to the Constitution. … It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”

Sure sounds like Chutkan was lamenting the fact that Trump has not been locked up -- at least not until she gets a hold of him!

Contrary to Kirschner’s claim, Trump’s alleged curiosity wouldn’t need to reflect consciousness of guilt, let alone “overwhelming consciousness of guilt.” It is simply the thought process of any sentient defendant facing what could realistically be seen as a judicial deck stacked against him.

I remember after Trump became president someone asked him if he was going to “lock her up” meaning Hillary Clinton, he said, “we don’t do that here in America.” He might be the last president not to lock up his political opposition now that the democrats have opened that door.

.......they went through Trump’s tax records, his entire personal life, prosecuted people to try to get them to turn on him, had moles in his business and campaign, and still could not come up with one legitimate charge. And this.......

<>Barron Hilton built a $350 million Hilton hotel in At/City but could not get a gaming license;

<>Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame could not get an At/City gaming license;

<>Bob Guccione of Penthouse could not get a gaming license.

Donald Trump got three At/City gaming licenses and also had a gaming license in the Islands.

The vetting is brutal.......and all the places Smith is looking at to find something on Trump have already been scoured by the gaming commissions.

According to Kirschner, Trump's alleged curiosity meant he was "scared to death"...

Unlike studly Kirschner who is regularly seen with a pack of cigs rolled up in his shirt sleeve showing off his self-inked tats while sipping Chardonnay with his inside the Beltway posse.

Follow the money:

Trump is reported to have spent millions on defense attorneys, emptying his campaign war chest, borrowing money to post bail, and deflecting appeals of his co-conspirators for help with their attorney fees.

Does that outhouse toilet paper, Rolling Stone, have any “evidence” of this? Liberals usually want “evidence” no matter how chickensh*t it is.

Former US AG Ed Meese files brief in district court claiming Fani Willis’ prosecution of Trump violates Supremacy Clause of Constitution. He states the obvious...

“If the premise of this prosecution were to be accepted, then state law enforcement officials could arrest local U.S. Attorneys and their Assistants while they were deliberating over whether and/or how to approach a possible prosecution of state or local officials.”

“Similarly, under Fulton County’s Willis’ interpretations of federal supremacy, state or local officials could enter the Oval Office and arrest the President and his Attorney General during their deliberations over whether and to what extent to assert federal law enforcement powers against state or local officials.


And how about referring Jack Smith, David Weiss and Judge
Tatchin(?) for prosecution out of the House Judiciary?


Or indict them by a county prosecutor in say, Florida, if we harken to “the amazing legal mind” of Fani
Willis, and her (cough) theory that anyone with a compliant Grand Jury can indict federal officers.

I honestly think if Trump went to a bad prison the prisoners would love him. They would probably fiercely protect him. It might be the safest place for him.

Donald Trump is not going to prison. These cases will never go to a jury. Every time Trump is asked about these indictments what does he say? He says “they’re fake”. Sometimes you just need to take what Trump says literally.
