Washington— Donald Trump laid the groundwork to try to overturn the 2020 election even before he lost, knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud and “resorted to crimes” in his failed bid to cling to power, according to a newly unsealed court filing from prosecutors that lays out fresh details from the landmark criminal case against the former president.
The filing from special counsel Jack Smith’s team offers the most comprehensive view to date of what prosecutors intend to prove if the case charging Trump with conspiring to overturn the election reaches trial.
Though a months-long congressional investigation and the indictment itself have chronicled in stark detail Trump’s efforts to undo

Oh, what Bee Ess!
More trash from Jumpin' Jack Smith.... who was NOT legally appointed, and who has no more 'standing' to bring charges -against anyone- than I do.
But I bet he's drawing a handsome paycheck, courtesy of US Taxpayers!

A months-long Congressional inquiry? You mean the one done is the "Star Chamber"?
From Wikipedia: "As the US Supreme Court described it, 'the Star Chamber has, for centuries, symbolized disregard of basic individual rights. The Star Chamber not merely allowed, but required, defendants to have counsel. The defendant's answer to an indictment was not accepted unless it was signed by counsel. When counsel refused to sign the answer, for whatever reason, the defendant was considered to have confessed.'"

Old Jack can't get his slime into a courtroom, so he slips it to the AssPress. At this point I don't think anyone's listening except the Donks. Bray on, Jack, bray on. It adds a nice bass note to Kamalala's cackle.
MAGA! TRUMP - VANCE 2024

The dems resorted to crime to steal the election in 2020.. President Trump never resorted to crime. He's too smart for that. The dems are going bonkers because it may be too big of cheat they will have to do and may not be able to carry it off this time. People are wising up to their shenanigans.

Once again the AP is imitating Pravda at the USSR's worst.
There is plenty of evidence of voting fraud. Biden DID NOT WIN in 2020. It was the real coup. And considering the damage he and his sycophants caused, we should have done something about it back then!!

He's not a special prosecutor. He is just some random guy that has been allowed to run around wildly "filing charges" as if he was empowered to do so and burning tax dollars.
Whoever has been letting him impersonate a federal official needs to be prosecuted.

The only crime in the 2020 election was the Secretary of States who purgered themselves by certifying unverifiable and chaotic vote totals based on illegal ballot harvesting from inelligible voters.

Trying to use every legal option to challenge the outcome of the election or question fishy results is not illegal! Just because a judge dismissed a case "for lack of standing" (whatever that is) relating to the election does not mean that it was without merit, false, or not worthy of further investigation. It simply meant that the wrong person brought the lawsuit. The media, Democrats, and Jack Smith are quick to dismiss this in their zeal to convict Trump for something that the Democrats do every time that a Republican wins: Question the results of an election.

Of course not reported by an NY paper its Trump's attorney's response.. Trumps team counter to this motion used much of illegal 'Special Persecutor" Smith's own words to show Trump was acting in an official capacity. Smith knows this is crap but he has a team of Obambi and Biden judges in the DC courts and DC appellate court to back him. Election will be long over before the Supreme Joke hears this case. And the damage will have been done by then.

The Democrat’s number two guy Walz crashed and burned in the debate last evening that caused a large amount of bad press for the Democrats and the Harris-Walz campaign. So the Democrats to try to change and obscure that big bad press the Biden Department of Justice rushed out a New Democrat “law fare” indictment claiming that Trump “committed crimes” back on January 6th, 2020 relating to the protest that took place at the US Capitol on that date. Disregarding the Department of Justice policies that have been in place for many years to ensure that their legal actions are not initiated immediately before upcoming elections with the intent on interfering with upcoming elections. So there is no doubt that we are seeing the initiation of another Democrat “dirty trick” targeting Trump, as Trump will not be able to defend himself against those new charges until a resulting trial is held, most likely months after the November election.

Okay. Biden was declared the winner in 2020. I, like others, question if the result was legitimate, but the election is over.
This slop isn't going to work and will just cement Trump's support in the upcoming election.
It's interesting that the Special Persecutor knows what Trump was thinking. Not only is he a rotten lawyer, he's a psyhic that couldn't get a job as a fortune teller.

The actual crime was the murder of Ashleigh Babbitt by a capitol policeman. She was just standing and watching things. He was promoted and given a raise. I think that was another crime. Forty-one million fake ballots was a huge crime. There was no insurrection.

I'm going to say something incredibly non-Christain, but when the Associated Press is finally destroyed and bankrupt, I will cheer to see these purveyors of lies, disinformation and misinformation, these enemy of the people walking on bread lines. These people who are happy accomplices with the democrats destroying our country are vile.
This morning, I have no mercy for these destructors. Enough is enough. Ignore them all.

Nice try, AssPress. Six states refused to allow their elections to be audited, witnessed or recounted. All six went solid democrat and gave a senile old moron who couldn't even campaign an "unexpected" boost in vote tally. I'm sure they had very good reasons. Donald Trump was joined by tens of millions of voters who joined him in his valid suspicions.
