Prosecutors asked permission to file public version of brief with references to testimony from Trump’s closest aides
Donald Trump’s lawyers made a last-ditch effort on Tuesday to limit the amount of evidence that could become public that special counsel prosecutors collected during their criminal investigation into the former US president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The prosecutors last week filed under seal a brief, which may be as long as 180 pages, to presiding US district judge Tanya Chutkan that defends the viability of the charges against Trump even after the US supreme court’s presidential immunity ruling.
Simultaneously, the prosecutors asked the judge to allow them to file a public version of the secret brief with quotations and references to grand jury testimony from some of Trump’s closest aides, such as his former chief of staff, and his former vice-president, Mike Pence.
Everyone knows he’s guilty. His supporters just don’t care that he did it.

His supporters are Conservatives. They believe that the law doesn’t apply to some people because inequality is ‘good’ and ‘natural’. And they also believe that inequality will be in their favour, even if they live precariously on or near the very bottom rung of society.
Conservatives are most often the people who would (and, increasingly, in a country which got rid of royalty, do) support something like the Divine Right of Kings to do what they want. “Because somebody has to be in charge,” they will say, while imagining the ‘wrong’ kind of people being rounded up.
Insert Wilhoit’s Law here.
The only problem is he failed.
If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to hide right.
He doesn’t care. Even with a felony conviction, he still thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.
Oh, no, he definitely knows he did something wrong. He just knows that if he pushes hard enough, there’s a chance he can get away with it. Trump is a psychopath who knows that rules are only as powerful as their enforcement, and he’s been weaseling his way by them his whole life.
He knows he broke the law… he doesn’t know he did something wrong…
Trump is a psychopath
Trump is a weird, old, ruthless, malignant narcissistic psychopath - FTFY
with a felony conviction,
The validity of the court is directly related to how they fulfill his goals. In a society based on loyalty first, that’s his most important criteria.
Ergo, to him, the court and all its rulings are wrong, because they didn’t pass the ethics test of Doing What Trump Wants.
Does everyone remember when he was originally saying he was totally innocent and everthing he was accused of was a democratic smear campaign?
Because ….
Innocent people don’t hide shit like this.
Duh.
Came to these comments hoping to see some thoughts about what this evidence includes. But none. Is no one even curious??
It’s generally not a good idea to assume things of others. That’s what they often do to their rivals and it doesn’t ever work out well for them.
Speculation just dilutes the water.
Maybe it includes a copy of the treasure map from the back of the Constitution and it’s inside the white house because he procrastinated on grabbing it while he was there and he wants to keep it quiet so that Biden doesn’t get it before Trump can.
Though if I had to guess for real, maybe it’s communications that refer to his cult in not so friendly terms? Like maybe he said some things about what he really thought about them, which probably don’t reflect well on their intelligence or value.
Though, as the other commenter said, there’s no real value in this speculation other than for entertainment.

This is a horrible idea. There’s no guarantee that either side will vote as discussed. Leaving it open to rampant corruption as a voter engages in false discussion, then votes for one of the primary candidates.
Let those 3rd party candidates speak to the American people and present a case that nets them the votes needed.
But they pledge!
🤣
You didn’t read the webpage, ah? While the site can pair folks up as an absolute last resort, this was designed for people to make the pact with a family member or friend. But if a person has no one whose word they can trust, the site is an option, yet the pact wasn’t exactly intended for them. But for everyone else, it’s a valid and amazing idea providing a breath of fresh air.
Third parties struggle to get on most ballots, as we’ve seen time and time again this year. Without being on enough ballots, they aren’t given time on the debate stage. Meaning they struggle to reach enough voters through alternative outlets to have any chance of making changes in this dire bipartisan landscape.
The path to a viable third party presidential candidate has to pass through the down ballot races. If you want (for example) a future green party or libertarian president, you need a bunch of governors, senators, and representatives first.
Third parties struggle to get on presidential ballots because they are ineffectual on a national scale. They’re ineffective on a national scale because they barely exist in between presidential elections.
Expecting to change the political landscape from the top down is misguided and unrealistic.
