Judge Unseals New Evidence in Federal Election Case Against Trump





Judge Unseals New Evidence in Federal Election Case Against Trump 

Judge Tanya Chutkan made public portions of a filing by prosecutors setting out their argument for why the case should go forward despite the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity:



 Aide: There will be violence if we keep doing this 

 Trump: “Make them riot. Do it.” 

 Aide: We don’t have evidence of voter fraud 

 Trump: “The details don’t matter.” 

 Aide: VP Pence has been moved to a secure location 

 Trump: “So what?”




Trump’s reaction in a nutshell: It’s election interference to allow Americans to see how I sought to illegally overturn my 2020 loss.



"That Trump is not already in jail, based on the jaw-dropping evidence, reflects a loophole in our Constitution; the essential fragility of our democracy; or both. Whatever the case, the Republicans - including the sophists on the Supreme Court - are relentlessly mining that vulnerability in order to hold political power. That's inherent in their indemnification of the crimes he has committed." --from an email sent by a friend

The fact Trump is not already behind bars is a travesty of justice. If these new revelations amount to nothing, a distinct possibility given what we've see so far, then the rule of law is already dead and dying.

I am sure it is just a coincidence that harris dips a bit in the polls and the justice department releases new information on the trump case. Maybe they can get him off the campaign trail by hauling him to court for a few weeks. With the election being a month away this is not circumstance.

Getting him and his mouth "off the campaign trail" might increase his
chances.
