    Will she muzzle that maniac, or give him one more chance to shut up or get locked up?

    turley, embarrassed by not knowing when the election was happening, goes back to a previous falsehood about trump being a flight risk. I reckon he believes in the gop strategy that if you repeat a lie enough times...

    UNHINGED & DERANGED CRYBABY'S LUNATIC RANT

    Donald Trump reacted furiously on Thursday to a proposed trial date of 2 January in special counsel Jack Smith’s case against the former president for allegedly trying to overthrow the 2020 election result.

    “Deranged Jack Smith has just asked for a trial on the Biden Indictment to take place on January 2nd., just ahead of the important Iowa Caucuses,” Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Thursday. “Only an out of touch lunatic would ask for such a date, ONE DAY into the New Year, and maximum Election Interference with IOWA! Such a trial, which should never take place due to my First Amendment Rights, and massive BIDEN CORRUPTION, should only happen, if at all, AFTER THE ELECTION. The same with other Fake Biden Indictments. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!

    Why would he need a SCIF if he declassified the documents? Now he is saying he needs a SCIF to review the documents he once had in his bathroom? Man he is his own worst enemy.

    "the assumption" .. built up that strawman and then dig into it. Constitutional Law professor Turley is not that much different from a few of these posters here that love to strawman.

    Here is the secret memo that was revealed : full.pdf (nyt.com)

    It's what Trump executed on. I think historian Heather Richardson summarize it well here:


    New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman, Charlie Savage, and Luke Broadwater yesterday reported that in a memo dated December 6, 2020, Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro laid out a plan to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that he acknowledged was “a bold, controversial strategy” that he believed the Supreme Court would “likely” reject.

    Still, he presented the plan—while apparently trying to distance himself from it by writing “I’m not necessarily advising this course of action”—because he thought it “would guarantee that public attention would be riveted on the evidence of electoral abuses by the Democrats, and would also buy the Trump campaign more time to win litigation that would deprive Biden of electoral votes and/or add to Trump’s column.”

    The plan was essentially what the Trump campaign ultimately tried to pursue. It called for Trump-Pence electors in six swing states Biden had won to meet and vote for Trump, and then to make sure that in each of those states there was a lawsuit underway that “might plausibly” call into question Biden’s victory there. Then, Vice President Mike Pence would take the position that he had the power not simply to open the votes but also to count them, and that the 1887 Electoral Count Act that clarified those procedures was unconstitutional.

    Key to selling this strategy, Chesebro wrote, was messaging that constructing two slates of electors was “routine,” and he laid out a strategy of taking events and statements out of context to suggest support for that messaging.

    This was, of course, a plan to deprive American voters of their right to have their votes counted, as the federal grand jury’s recent indictment of former president Trump charged, but Chesebro concluded: “it seems advisable for the campaign to seriously consider this course of action and, if adopted, to carefully plan related messaging.”

    Three days later, Chesebro wrote specific instructions to create those fraudulent electors, and they were off to the races.

    Chesebro is identified as Co-Conspirator 5 in the grand jury’s recent indictment of Trump.

    It is an astonishing thing to read this memo today.

    Fascinating and helps prove it was more than upset angry Trump enthusiasts who just happened to show up January 6th and got out of hand.

    delay delay delay

    cannon will probably grant the request and give trump some unreasonably long amount of time to secure the facility. Then there will be another hearing about the next delay

    Nobody should be bending over backwards to accommodate Trump's " But I'm Special" requests! Treat him like the rest of indicted criminals would be treated. Imagine if every traitor got to have their own special secure facility so their life would be easier to defend their charges. The dude has more indictments going on than most accused felons ever have.

    Some of the testimony going on in today's hearing... sounds like trump's lawyers are trying to get the Judge to allow trump's attacks on witnesses to continue as part of his political campaign. Doesn't sound like the Judge is agreeing this that position. If it is allowed, any high-profile defendant will be able to to as well... eg "Al Capone: "If the witness and prosecutors continue to say what bad things I did they will sleep with the fishes".
