Devil’s Advocate for a moment:
If the claim is based on fraud because Trump knew there was no fraud in the vote, then his defense would be to introduce the evidence of fraud in the vote upon which he made is representations. Other cases (there are many) have dismissed the claims of fraud based on a lack of standing for the accuser. Trump has standing to assert it as part of his defense.
If the case is thrown out because Smith had no authority, then the evidence of the fraudulent election will never see the light of day through its introduction as evidence in Trump’s trial. The merits will never be reached.
The public will continue to deny fraud in the election.
Is Meese providing cover for the deep state to give them an out so that the real truth of the fraud will never be seen?
Just wondering.
Not likely. Trump is trying to delay convictions in kangaroo courts before November.
What "public"?
