  1. If the evidence is NOT released it will alter the election.

    We all want to know as much as possible about our candidates, no?

    Somebody sounds scared… as if the initial evidence was bad enough, there must be something terrible in this next set of documents.

  3. “The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes by little people. It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched.”

    – Robert H. Jackson – Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal – Nuremberg 1945

  4. I don’t understand why he cares so much. There is nothing that could possibly come out of this that would turn away the people already voting for him. If anything it helps him because the non-Fox news media will give it wall to wall coverage and let him suck all the oxygen out of the room.

  5. Because trump routinely fails to persue his objectives legally, Particularly in the strictest sense, USA is at risk of catastrophic failure, and nobody that supports him is capable of repairing or repaying the damage.

  6. January 6th was a day of love! Why would he want to hide that from the public??? 🥺🥺

    Also why is he trying to suppress evidence of antifa’s involvement??? 🥺🥺🥺

    Looks like someone’s really trying to win the “Most Dramatic Court Case” award.

  8. That’s weird. He keeps telling us he did nothing wrong, so you’d think he would want to be proven innocent.

  9. But he said it was a day of peace of love, lol, what is he afraid of?

    Perhaps there’s evidence of him working directly with Amy Kremer to bus the mob in from all over the country, while coordinating with Kimberly Guilefoyle and the Publix heiress to pay for it.

    Or recorded meetings with donald and Roger Stone discussing [how to stockpile weapons in a VIrginia hotel](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/oath-keeper-testifies-massive-gun-pile-stashed-hotel-eve-jan-6-rcna51749), and how to get the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers into the Capitol. We shall see.

    Trump pleads with judge to stop Jan. 6 evidence from coming out before 2024 election? Why would someone that always claims he’s innocent have a problem with releasing more evidence?

    Most innocent man protests evidence of his innocence be made public, surely.. 😂

  12. Let’s hope that judge Chutkan can continue to be the opposite of Judge Cannon. Move expeditiously, make decisions, and do not show manifest favoritism.

  13. >Obama administration and Jan. 6 Committee attorney Eric Columbus, for one, saw the filing as a “prelude” to Trump lawyers asking the U.S. Supreme Court to get involved — again.

    >Trump’s lawyers, leaving aside whether Smith’s evidence-related filings actually are “politically motivated” and timed for election season, then cited a series of critical articles — penned by anyone from George W. Bush-era Assistant Attorney General Jack Goldsmith to CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig — to argue that there is at least “a concerning appearance of election interference.”

    Justice is not election interference. Doubly so when it comes to Trump.

  14. I may have some details wrong so feel free to correct me, but this is my loose understanding of this whole saga:

    >SMITH: I would like to release this document explaining why the indictment withstands *Trump v. US*.

    >CHUTKAN: Fair enough. Does the defendant have any objections to the proposed redactions?

    >TRUMP: This is election interference!!

    >CHUTKAN: Not a cognizable legal argument; no objections to the redactions noted, released with Smith’s redactions.

    >SMITH: We also have this massive appendix of evidence we would like to release.

    >CHUTKAN: Fair eno–

    >TRUMP: Give me 7 days to figure out how to stop this.

    >—7 days later—

    >TRUMP: This is election interference!!

  15. Guy who cheats at elections is wanting to hide more info from the public on the eve of an election? On brand.

  16. Showing people verifiable facts of what you did is election interference to Trump and the Republican Party now. In short anything painting a Republican in a negative light, especially exposing lies, is election interference.

    Amazing how Comey opens an investigation into Hillary less than two weeks before the 2016 election, yet somehow actual crimes involving Trump get buried

    >“If, as here, a prosecutor, during a highly contested political campaign, is granted leave to submit enormous filings publicly examining a President’s decision-making while in office, future Presidents will be far more reluctant to take the ‘bold and unhesitating action’ required of them,” the defense said.

    This is the exact argument Richard Nixon’s lawyers used on why the Watergate tapes shouldn’t be released – because if a president and other VIPs know that his ~~illegal activities~~ conversations will be made public, he won’t be able to have open dialogue with people he needs to seek for advice, etc.

    And as we know, that argument fell flat with SCOTUS. Of course we had an actual SCOTUS at the time that wasn’t trying to ratfuck Nixon’s opponents.

    I don’t know what more evidence is needed than footage from the day. He went on stage and said go to the Capitol and stop the certification. They went to the capitol and stopped the certification. We saw an attempted coup happen in real time. Even if there had been no violence, no barriers broken, no police assaulted, you still can’t go stage a coup.

    Too goddamn bad. American people have been nothing but failed by the Department of Justice and by the American media we deserve to know.

    It could literally be documentary footage with interviews from Jan 6 where he and his staff use the words “coup” and “insurrection” as they attempted their coup via an insurrection…he/Vance would deny it ever happened and his supporters wouldn’t change their minds.
