Trump pleads with judge to stop Jan. 6 evidence from coming out before 2024 election (lawandcrime.com)

submitted 4 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

27 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in his Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their “immunity appendices” at the same time — after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days after Smith’s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecution’s redacted appendix should also go public since Trump’s “‘concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.” At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trump’s team seven days to “evaluate litigation options.”

Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming “the public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.”

That's fucking bullshit. I hope she doesn't listen to them. This is as clear as the sun in the sky. They want the fucker to pardon himself. They are DETERMINED to get him elected by any means necessary, meaning, even straight up rigging the elections, or by violence. Dude is not gonna concede this time. He's going to go out with a fucking bang. Remember me.

Another prophecy. Note the date.

completely unrelated, but that photo has a striking resemblance to a roommate I had a very long time ago. It's not her, but it's pretty eerie how close it is.

Read an article in the 90s, probably not a thing anymore, but some scientists believed there were only 150 face types in the world, which kinda rings true to me.

The rest of the differences are hair and eye color, fat or thin, etc. Wonder what facial recognition researchers know?

And yeah, apparently I had a doppelganger roaming Tulsa in the 90s. I met people who were shocked to see me and friends were shocked to see the other guy. Sounds like our social circles were almost touching.

It doesn't work in the 90s as we didn't all have smartphones but if that happened today I'd beg my friends to take a photo of/with them

wtf does he care? people who are still planning to vote for this convicted felon rapist traitor don't gaf

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I agree maybe about 90%. But this does have Trump worried, which means there is likely evidence that might be a bridge too far for some of his voters.

There are also many of his voters who have said they didn't like his personality but will vote for him over the Democrat. These same people likely see J6 as a hoax or blown it off proportion because if it was seditious or an actual crime he would have been arrested.

If real evidence is raised that isn't affectively countered in court that shows the conspiracy is a lie, some might be swayed.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 weeks ago

If real evidence

they've been throwing real evidence out the window for going on 10 years... don't forget that these people regard trump and ONLY trump as a source of information. everything else is "fake news" no matter how real it is to everyone else

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

What bridge is a bridge too far for his supporters? They don't care that he's a diaper wearing, dementia riddled fossil. They don't care that he's a rapist. They absolutely ENJOY that he's a felon. They don't care that he had an affair with a porn star while his wife was pregnant. They don't care that he directly caused millions of preventable deaths from COVID. They don't care that hes openly and overtly racist. They don't care that he wants to become a dictator. They don't care that he sold American and allied secrets to Putin. They don't care that he has a secret romance with Kim Jon Un.

So what I ask, is a bridge too far?

At this point the only thing that would hurt him is if he came out in support of queer rights and M4A

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

There could be definitive proof that Trump orchestrated 9/11 and his supporters would still vote for him.

C’mon man, throw some panties on that neck vagina.

It’s obscene.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I hadn't seen the picture you were referencing, and I just woke up. My first thought was that you were suggesting trump throw his own worn panties at the judge, like it were a rolling stones concert.......except it's trump.....in a courtroom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Trump: You think that'll work?

"the public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.”

Yeah yours. Fox news and all those chucklefucks run johnny shitbag lawyer on TV to explain all the ways that having Trump face any consequences ever is far left authoritarianism...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Every accusation a confession.

Every insult a projection.

Every win a rigged election.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Isn't it the prosecution's job to prove their case by putting forth a "one-sided prosecutorial narrative"?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Imagine committing crimes and then whining like a bitch that the justice system is releasing evidence of those crimes. Maybe don't crime so much next time?
