CharlieH Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team outlined the evidence it has collected against former President Trump on Tuesday, walking through information it says will showcase his motive and knowledge of a plan to block the transfer of power. The breakdown comes in a request to introduce evidence of events both before and after the conspiracy outlined in Trump’s indictment, an effort to “establish his motive, intent, preparation, knowledge” and plans related to his efforts to stay in power. The 9-page filing shows prosecutors plan to showcase an array of Trump comments dating as far back as 2012, when he sought to cast into doubt the legitimacy of elections whose results he did not favor. That includes the multiple instances when Trump refused to commit to accept the results of either the 2016 or 2020 election. Prosecutors also plan to show evidence gathered about other Trump associates, including the encouraging of riots at a Detroit vote-counting center and the targeting of a Republican National Committee attorney who countered Trump’s claims of fraud. “The Campaign Employee encouraged rioting and other methods of obstruction when he learned that the vote count was trending in favor of the defendant’s opponent,” the filing says of a campaign employee who sought to mobilize riots at the TCF Center after President Biden took the lead in vote counts. “Thereafter, Trump made repeated false claims regarding election activities at the TCF Center, when in truth his agent was seeking to cause a riot to disrupt the count.” But much of the filing indicates prosecutors plan to bring in an array of Trump comments they argue show a longstanding refusal to accept election results and instead undermine the process, something they say all show “his motive, intent, and plan to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results and illegitimately retain power.” FULL STORY 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danderman123 Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 Let me save you some time, concerning the January 6 conspiracy: the plan was to have a crowd attack the Capitol and remove Mike Pence. Then, Charles Grassley would be in charge, and he would throw out electoral votes from states that Biden won. Simple. I am sure the Trump crowd won't understand this. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Danderman123 Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 Part of Jack Smith's latest filing describes a conspiracy to delay the counting of votes in Michigan. Once the vote tally showed Biden winning in Michigan, the plan was to stage a riot at the election central. This may be why Jack Smith didn't indict anyone in Michigan - yet. It certainly demonstrates that Trump knew immediately that he lost the election. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caldera Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 As a former commander-in-chief, he should be tried in a military court, which would save everyone some time. It's blatantly obvious to anyone who can see that he attempted to undermine the certification process of the election results in Congress by inciting a mob after everything else had failed. Not least to deter future presidents from attempting the same, he needs to be given the most severe punishment for his crimes. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem is proving that Trump was part of that plan. As he didn't say anything to indicate that in public, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was part of a conspiracy, which will be very hard to do. Another going nowhere irrelevance IMO. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, there would be high ranking Proud Boys who were not arrested, but who participated in the attack on the Capitol. There *were* informants in the Proud Boys leadership, but they didn't pass anything along about the January 6 attack. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be ignorant of the procedures needed to abolish parts or the constitution and of the voting rights and laws. Or perhaps you simply compare things to Thailand and have forgotten about what true democracy really is? The only power Trump has regarding laws voting is to Veto a request to change a law. He has no power to make it changed. This is done by Congress and Legislation... It takes large percentages of votes to approve something like that and votes done by different entities. Each of those have their first concern about what their respective citizens want. What you are suggesting would surely create a Civil War. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
