WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump “resorted to crimes” in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election, federal prosecutors said in a newly unsealed court filing that argues that the former president is not entitled to immunity from prosecution. The filing was unsealed Wednesday. It was submitted by special counsel Jack Smith’s team following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents and narrowed the scope of the prosecution. This is a developing story. Please check back for more updates.

They don’t have any other alternative other than assassinating him. I doubt if he’ll make it till November. Pray for him!

His only crime was defeating Hitlery the chosen anointed one in 2016.

Hmmm. Even if true (it’s not), he left office at 12pm on 1/20/2021. What a ridiculous joke Jack Smith is.

By refiling and saying this was ‘after’ he lost the election that Trump’s ‘crimes’ were not ‘while in office.’ It’s a fake gambit hoping the judge will actually try and make believe it is so. He WAS ‘in office’ until January 20 and ‘sitting.’

Doesn’t change the USSC ruling.

Trump was still POTUS and at least nominally responsible for the Executive Branch.

From the filing:


"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—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin (the “targeted states”). His effortsincluded lying to state officials in order to induce them to ignore true vote counts; manufacturing fraudulent electoral votes in the targeted states; attempting to enlist Vice President Michael R.Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, to obstruct Congress’s certification of the election by using the defendant’s fraudulent electoral votes; and when all else had failed, on January 6, 2021, directing an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification. The throughline of these efforts was deceit: the defendant’s and co-conspirators’ knowingly false claims of election fraud. They used these lies in furtherance of three conspiracies: 1) a conspiracy to interfere with the federal government function by which the nation collects and counts election results, which is set forth in the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act (ECA); 2) a conspiracy to obstruct the official proceeding in which Congress certifies the legitimate results of the presidential election; and 3) a conspiracy against the rights of millions of Americans to vote and have their vote counted."



So, it's just more of the same BS.

I’ll be glad when Trump wins and can pardon himself and ALL the so-called January 6th insurrectionists. Poof. One swelled hoop and do it all. All crimes alleged from the 45th presidential period. Screw this mob. Joe is going to pardon his criminal son, so why cannot Trump do the same for himself?

If they honestly won the election THEN they would not be going through trying to lock EVERYONE up who DARED to protest the results, IF they had really won the election they would have LET EVERYONE open the ballots and PROVED it to the people, INSTEAD they DEMAND the public believe them which is exactly what LIARS DO!!! If you DARE question them they will sue you or put you in jail the people will NEVER believe they won that election they can stomp their feet and scream all they want to!!!

Committing crimes to stay in power sounds like orchestrating vote fraud. Calling out such crimes is the only thing Trump is guilty of.

In most instances that I quickly read, Trump is conversing with staff, advisors etc...Any and all of those conversations are subject to immunity.

And there is a big difference between questioning the outcome and "establishing himself as President" rather than Brandon.

THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR TRUMP TO DROP THE COMPLETE PROOF FOR FRAUD IN THE ELECTION.

We KNOW that the NSA has all the communications...
