Key Points

A federal judge unsealed more than 1,800 pages of documents filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the criminal election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The records were made public after U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a request by Trump’s lawyers to keep them sealed until after the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Trump is charged with illegally conspiring to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

~~~~~~

A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of more than 1,800 pages of documents filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the criminal election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The records were made public after U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a request by Trump’s lawyers to keep them sealed until after the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Many of the individual files remain redacted, however.

Chutkan is considering what evidence can be used against Trump in light of a Supreme Court ruling this summer that effectively narrowed and delayed Smith’s case against the former president.

The high court ruled that Trump has “presumptive immunity” from criminal prosecution for official acts he performed while he was president, and that he has absolute immunity for certain core executive functions.

This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.

Trump is charged with illegally conspiring to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

“Trump is charged with illegally conspiring to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. “

But

“The high court ruled that Trump has “presumptive immunity” from criminal prosecution for official acts he performed while he was president, and that he has absolute immunity for certain core executive functions. “

Doesn’t the High Court’s ruling cover trying to thwart the result of a crooked election?

Projection.

The election in 2020 WAS overturned, in the middle of the night.....by the RATS.

Trump, the true winner, was denied his re-election, and tens of millions of American voters were disenfranchised by the left.

Trump is not allowed to comment or defend himself due to a gag order issued by the same judge. This is a complete travesty by the corrupt courts.

Basically, this is Chutkan's attempt to let Jack Smith prosecute his case in the court of public opinion without letting the defense cross-examine the accusations as would happen in a court of law?

Nobody that didn’t already give a #### gives a #### now.

The country’s a disaster and NO ONE is gonna say “oh my, Trump did this or that so now I can’t vote for him!”

Our side frets wayyy too much sometimes.

It’s desperation. And it will fail....as everything else has.

Have some faith. Some prayers always help too.

And SCOTUS refused to hear a case by almost half of the US states objecting to states which didn’t follow their own laws, as required by the US Constitution in order to have qualified electors for Congress to count.

My understanding is that they did so because it was too late; the election had already been certified.

IOW, SCOTUS claimed that if the legitimate legal and Constitutional concerns of half of the country was to be legally addressed, it had to be done on January 6th. That makes Trump addressing that a CORE duty for Trump, IMHO.

And the Fedsurrection prevented that from happening. MTG and others were not allowed to present the evidence they had collected, in the only setting SCOTUS would allow it to be heard. All because Nancy Pelosi and Muriel Bowser refused Trump’s offer of 20,000 National Guardsmen to protect the process.

Someone with talent should draw a cartoon of Chutkin and Smith lying atop a roof with semi-automatic rifles in tow, pointed at Trump’s podium.

The only people who care about this BS are already foaming at the mouth to vote against Bad Orange Hitler.

No working class person in Wisconsin, Michigan or Pennsylvania is going to give this nonsense a second thought.
