Special counsel Jack Smith laid out new evidence to support his assertion that Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election were taken as a private candidate, rather than his official capacity as the president, in a much-anticipated 165-page filing unsealed Wednesday that detailed Trump’s private interactions with his vice president and others.
The filing described what the then-president told key figures in his orbit, including vice president Mike Pence, attorney Rudy Giuliani and senior White House and Republican Party officials, though it shielded some of their names. It also detailed what Trump was doing on Jan. 6, as his supporters stormed the Capitol, describing a scene in which he expressed ambivalence after an aide rushed to the dining room to share that action was being taken to ensure Pence’s safety.
“The defendant looked at him and said only, ‘So what?’"” the filing alleges.
The filing is a key part of the special counsel’s attempt to show that Trump can still face trial for attempting to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory after the Supreme Court ruled he was immune from prosecution for official acts. It outlined in more extensive detail than before how many people — including the vice president, party and state leaders, his own campaign officials, his own campaign lawyers and others — told Trump there was no proof the election was stolen.
The filing provides the most exhaustive account yet of Pence’s conversations with Trump, alleging that the vice president repeatedly tried to encourage Trump to back off his claims of a stolen election. It alleges that one of Trump’s lawyers repeatedly told Trump they could not substantiate any of his claims, nor outside consultants they hired.
The lawyer told Trump the claims were “bulls---,” and...

Democrats one final desperate attempt to apply electric shock to these “Frankenstein Cases”. Unfortunately for them voters haven’t cared about any of the Trump legal cases thus far and some Kamala Campaign document posing as a court filing isn’t going to change that. Oh, the media will still try and run with it for a day or two, but it will be DOA by the weekend.
Why doesn’t anyone bring up that they started their unarmed conflagration 11 minutes before Trump said “Let’s go peacefully”?????
Personally I would not have said “So What”? when informed Pence was being protected.
I might have said “And then?”
I call him traitor Pence.
“The defendant looked at him and said only, ‘So what?’””
= = =
Biden looked at NC flooding and said, So What.
Smith is writing a NETFLIX mini-series
oh sure
even my dog rolled his eyes
Video or audio? Any official docs?
Politics is high school culture, the sequel.
So what? Did he check his watch?
As I recall, Trump was speaking when the people were let in to the capitol. I didn’t hear him say anything.
We don’t even have a name to link to particular statements. This is no different that saying “Anonymous sources”. And so the American people cannot consider the source and Trump does not get to respond to his accuser. And a lot of it is most This is evil and purely election interference. Just proving once again how dirty and evil the democrats are.
Sorry Hillary, but if my loved one was murdered under your supervision, you bet your sweet ass it matters knowing exactly why the attack occurred, and why he died during that attack. This corrupt bitch should have been strung up by the neck for being so arrogant and flippant in her response.
And on top of it, Obama was MIA the whole night, and to this day, it has never been reported where he was during the whole attack and aftermath.
How would it hold up in “court” if there is no person to testify and cross examine?
He said: “So what?” So what?
Nothing muffin again
Yeah... Sure... Historical revisionism at its finest...
Is extermination the only long-term solution?
Good answer.
It, by itself with nothing more, is NOT evidence and will not hold up. Real Evidence needs to be authenticated and have a foundation laid before it can even be considered actual evidence
Rush Limbaugh used to say that politics was show business for ugly people.
To get people to talk about something already talked about.
Let's be careful not to drink the kool ade.
Everyone knows that if someone reports you said “so what?” during a protest that means an automatic jail sentence. For life.
How dare he!?!
