Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s new book on Trump’s post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith’s team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.
People really need to realize, Trump is insane. He has never heard anyone tell him he was wrong, or not good enough, or not smart enough, or it was his fault. Now as a “grown man” he believes he can do no wrong. He was buddies with North Korea and Russia because he wants to know how they maintain their power and grip over this countries.
I’m scared to death that not enough peole are taking seriously that he could win again. I hope at least 1 felony will be set as guilty for him, and disqualify him, but then you’ve got the rest of the herd of nut-jobs that follow him right behind him.
A felony wouldn’t disqualify him.
It actually would be really fucked up if it could as most minorities wouldn’t be able to hold elected office, and those felonies are often extremely arbitrary ones put in place by racist jurisdictions with the explicit purpose of denying minorities their right to vote.
The fact that you can lose respect for any of your constitutional rights as a consequence of a court proceeding should terrify everyone.
There are better ways to deal with fascists.
you really think that most minorities are felons?
No, the system makes them that way by design. The system disproportionately convicts minorities with the express purpose of denying them their right to vote. They’re made felons to subjugate them.
You need to familiarize yourself with what the word “most” means.
So you think every minority that’s a felon is innocent?
I mean technically he could become president while in jail, and maybe pardon himself if it’s for a federal offense.
I am Jack’s lack of tolerance for bullshit
First rule of indictment: Don’t bargain with defendant attorneys about indictment. Second rule of indictment: (See above)
I would, after all their begging and pleading, would hold out my hand and change it to a thumbs down, like the Romans did in the Colosseum.
Thumbs up for execution, thumbs down to spare the gladiators life, from what I’ve been told.
Thumbs down to execute, thumbs closed in the hand for mercy.
Their presentation was basically The Nightman Cometh.
They were defeated by friendship and karate?
When they finally finished, Jack Smith was like “really? No I won’t let this slide.” and he walked out.
This is a really badass way to say he had a meeting where he didn’t say anything.
I do this in nearly every meeting. FUCK YEAH.
Some times what you don’t say speaks volumes.
I really hate news headlines these days. Feels like they’re written for morons with no attention span.
What?
I also read the story linked about the nut job that attacked Paul Pelosi as he was waiting to take out his wife Nancy. As much as I would love to think these cases are the exception, they aren’t based on the numbers alone.
If I was deranged like this, I would be upset Mr Drink Bleach didn’t bail him and others from the Jan 6th event out of jail. Perhaps they are thinking if he returns, then he will do the right thing for their sacrifices?
Do you guys think there is still a chance that Trump gets elected again?
Yes, it’s still america
If the results of the trials done disqualify him, then yes this is his beer hall putsch. We’re about to get a dictator if we don’t have a blue army voting in droves.
We should all be very afraid.
