Completely agree with President Trump. Most of these aids had to willfully avoid the evidence of the stolen election. It was absolutely everywhere. Most of them were younger, and only worried about future career viability. In other words, they sold out for money. The very definition of a whore.

We were all watching on November 4th and saw that Trump was way up that night. Then suddenly 5 or 6 swing states had “trouble counting the votes” that night, for myriad reasons. Here in AZ at 11 pm they shut down the tabulation center because the workers “were tired.” Never once had that occurred in the 27 yrs I’ve lived here.

So don’t try to say the Trump’s advisers “knew” he was going to lose. It was the most suspect election I’ve ever seen with all sorts of shady crap going on, but only in the swing states. Even Lil Stevie Wonder could see the fraud and corruption, FFS!

Fun factoid. Did you know that it’s not the job of a president to do everything his aids say, or to agree with them?

Trump is talking himself straight into prison.

“I thought his entire defense rested on the idea that he was acting on the advice of counsel?”

His defense might rely on the (ignored) evidence that the election was rigged. In other words, that it was reasonable for him to disbelieve the result.

I think many knowledgeable people thought it might have been rigged but felt that it was impossible to prove in a reasonable amount of time.

No f'n way that election was free and fair. All of the new voting "laws" that were in effect just for that election...
If Covid never happened Biden would never have been elected. It was a scam that was four years in the making.

Are you kidding me RN? The article quotes that old geezer and conspiracy theorest Laurence Tribe like its actual fact, and you just regurgitate it, and we are supposed to buy it?

Seriously?

>> they told him before the election and election when he was still in the lead that he was going to lose.

Because they knew that the battleground would all flip in a consistent manner after the suspended overnight counting? If that were the case, then they would all have to know about the nature of the steal.

So getting “convicted” on false charges is one’s own fault? Wow; that’s a vindication of the USSR’s show trials right there.

So, is there a tag team thing going on, to spam FR with stuff to try to spin things against Trump?

I guess it’s because it’s so hard to defend desanctimonious with all his failures, and illusions of grandeur that he’s now having, with his comments like

‘I will be the president!’

“Yet another example of Trump burying himself.”

Trump did not say he did not rely on his lawyers. He just said he did not rely on some of his lawyers.

Anyone who truly believes, in his heart, that Biden won 81 million votes is about as stupid as Biden is.

Is it possible he’s trying to offer some legal cover to his co-defendants?

“I guarantee that the prosecution will use this exchange against Trump”

Good. Trump Poll Numbers will go up another 4-5 points.

I guarantee that the Meatball won’t win the Nomination.

“At what point does this cross the line to narcissism?”

I went to bed that night wondering why the counting was called off simultaneouleously in those battle ground states and the next day I declared the election had been rigged and stolen.

Am I a narcissist?

blah blah blah these were the same bush leftovers / deep state affiliated Bill Barr types that for 4 years constantly told Trump he couldn’t do stuff that he wanted to do.

“ And he wonders why top lawyers won’t take him as a client.”

No one wonders that. They all end up arrested.
