Politico writes that he "signaled that his defense is likely to include blaming the former president as the primary driver of the effort."

I don't know why this would be a surprise. The legal argument for moving his case to the Federal courts is that he was functioning as an executive branch official -- which means (by definition) that he was answering to the President at the time.

The answer is NO.

To hell with the Trump haters at Hot Air. May they be totally deflated and swept into the dustbin of history. A pox on their organization.

Only the DNC would consider questioning a questionable election is a criminal event. Never mind the 1st Amendment in this Turd World judiciary.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Politico writes that he bla bla bla

POLITICO? Anything that puke-bag Politico “writes” is highly suspect. Reader beware.

Another couple of candidates who could flip are Jenna Ellis who represented Trump in a couple of the post election cases and later decided to support DeSantis, the Trump campaign has refused to help her with her legal bills and the other big name to potentially flip is Rudy Giuliani his legal bills are also not being paid

eff this skeezy banana republic that we live in.

During a hearing in Atlanta, a defense attorney for Meadows called attention to Trump’s prominent role in what is certain to be a crucial element of prosecutors’ case there: the infamous Jan. 2, 2021, phone call in which Trump demanded that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, “find” enough votes to declare Trump the winner.

Listen to the tape, or read the transcript. Trump said clearly "I need to find 11,780 votes". He did not say "Brad, you need to find 11,780 votes" or "Brad, I direct you to find 11,780 votes" or "Brad I direct you to fabricate 11,780 votes".

Words have meaning. Some schmuck taped that call, probably Raffensperger's staff, probably in an effort to sandbag Trump. Since we have the tape, why can't we listen to it, or read an accurate transcription of it and move on from there? Why do "journalists" keep fabricating this "I need you to find these votes" crap?

The increasingly common use of the word "flip" to describe the workings of our third-world banana republic judiciary tells us how far into the trash this country has slid.

eff this cr@phole banana republic that we live in.

Ellis and Rudy would never lie under oath. There is nothing honest they could say to help the political persecutors.

It's interesting, the number of freepers who seem to think this is some sort of "game" [the "flip" game], and a one-off.

Same thing goes for many Republicans, in their zeal to make Tramp and MAGA "go away".

"The Democrats will go back to sharing power with us after all this unpleasantness is over," said the naive RepubTard or conservaTard.

Thank you for pointing that out.

I can always tell the uneducated from the crowd. They think Trump demanded that Raffenberger manufacture votes and that Palin claimed she could see Russia from her porch.

Neither is true.

Trump clearly believed that there was fraud. His team was telling them there was. He offered several examples of fraud. He asked Raffenberger to look into the fraud because they would clearly find the votes for Trump to win.

“Many of the other co-defendants are complaining that Trump isn’t helping with legal bills”

Oh, so he isn’t setting himself up for another azz rape charge based on his “paying co-defendants to not testify against him”?

Childish analysis.

[DesertRhino]

If he pays their legal bills now, that would instantly be used as proof that he was buying their loyalty. There would probably be new charges coming out of such a payment.

[joshua c]

there is nothing illegal about alternative electors

raffenberger has already said that Trump did not ask him to do anything illegal

[joshua c]

would paying co-defendant legal bills be considered witness tampering?

[Reno89519]

Probably, nearly every other former Trump appoint he has turn on him.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Exactly what it is now. As far as I’m concerned, our government is under enemy occupation. The leader of Proud boys got 22 years yesterday in Federal prison and he wasn’t even in DC on Jan.6th.

Meanwhile the founder of BLM Patrisse Cullors who organized and encouraged riots nationwide causing billions in damages, lives lost, countless injured over 4 years, goes and buys mansions with the BLM donations and now she’s living like royalty without one single solitary investigation against her. Not even the family of George Floyd got a dime from her. She doesnt even get arrested and this guy who wasn’t even in DC Jan. 6th gets 22 years.

If he got 22 years imagine what they will give Trump

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t know why anyone would expect Trump to pay their legal bills in this case. Paying their legal bills would be compelling evidence against all of them for conspiracy and racketeering.
