It’s no wonder Donald Trump has a habit of getting up at strange hours of the morning and getting on social media. Who could sleep if the dawning of each new day was going to bring yet more havoc than the day before? And that’s literally the case nowadays. Just today, for example, a federal judge, David Carter, wrote an 18-page opinion wherein he stated that emails from Trump’s attorney John Eastman, needed to be turned over to the January 6 Committee.
The emails were thought to be a smoking gun and Carter confirmed it, saying, they “show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public.” Politico:
According to Carter, Trump and his attorneys alleged in a Dec. 4 filing in Georgia state court that Fulton County had improperly counted more than 10,000 votes of dead people, felons and unregistered voters. They then moved that proceeding to federal court and discussed whether to use the same statistics in that filing. In private correspondence, Trump’s lawyers noted that the then-president had resisted signing documents containing “specific numbers.” On Dec. 31, Eastman emailed other Trump lawyers that the numbers filed in state court were not accurate.
That went right past Trump, without blinking.
“President Trump, moreover, signed a verification swearing under oath that the incorporated, inaccurate numbers ‘are true and correct’ or ‘believed to be true and correct’ to the best of his knowledge and belief,” added Carter, an appointee of President Bill Clinton. “The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public. The Court finds that these emails are sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States.”
Oh, man. And Eastman wonders why the feds took his phone in the first place and/or why they won’t give it back. Seriously?
And of course it gets worse.
George Conway went on CNN Wednesday night and said, “this is a smoking gun for the prosecutor in Georgia and the Georgia investigation is very advanced. This is going to be a very important document and exhibit in the charges that I’m sure she’s going to bring.” Absolutely. This is an open and shut case of Trump and his lawyers claiming that Georgia was voting the dead, definitely Fani Willis is going to want to include this in evidence.
The only thing I disagree with here, that George Conway said, is that he believes that Trump will run for president to protect himself against these legal proceedings. I don’t think that’s how this is going to play out. I think the GOP will throw him overboard way before then.
We’ve already seen that the old school GOP, the Paul Ryans of the party, have written Trump off and believe his days as head of the party are long over. The fact is that the rank and file don’t want to run him again in 2024, if for no other reason than if he wins, he could only serve four years. And everybody knows how chaotic and insane those four years would be.
The GOP wants to run away and live to fight another day and that means dumping Trump.
But maybe Conway is right. Maybe that’s what Trump will do, is attempt to keep hold of the party and get the nomination, believing that that will preserve him legally. Only one thing is certain: we will live and learn. And anything can happen between now and 2024. As close as that is, in so many ways it’s a lifetime away.
Trump may well try for a third party run, if he does it at all. That would also screw up the GOP, as they’re too weak as it stands. Got a feeling we’re about to see just HOW weak in a couple of weeks.
Trumpelthinskin the TRAITOR will run one way or another for 2024 unless he’s legally prevented from doing so. In his mind it keeps him relevant, keeps the rallies going where his cult followers will kiss his ass and feet; and most importantly, keeps the donations pouring in from his deluded brainwashed MAGAts – his largest source of income – which allows him to continue to pay back Putin for failed Trump Tower Moscow, and the rest of his growing creditors.
Karma. Some Hindu bullshit from thousands of years ago? Maybe. Maybe not.
Karma = ” What goes around, comes around !
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. It would be nice if sometimes it happened on a faster timeline.
And then again the Good Book tells us “You have sown the wind, You shall reap the whirlwind”
karma’s a bitch and she bites hard.
And she knows where you live…
I have log opined that the case in GA with respect to election fraud and election interference, featuring that perfect magnificant phone call between Trump and Raffensberger would be what finally nails his fat azz but good.
Agreed.
And the court told Miss Lindsey he must testify. 😎
Some other key points I could not find mentioned: The e-Mails Judge Carter reviewed PROVE that Trumpelthinskin and his attorneys KNEW that the claims attested to in their under oath filing with the court as “accurate” were false. And because Don the Con’s lawyers ended up knowingly filing these false claims anyway, these lawyers also violated the law and can now be disbarred. Finally, the criminal knowing intent of doing so overrides any attorney-client privilege that “might” have applied to these communications through the criminal intent exemption. And so, now this brings into play additional E-Mails that, as usual, Benedict Donald STILL hasn’t produced because they were claimed attorney-client previleged. Judge Carter has requested these and Ordered a new deadline of October 28 to produce to him. ETTD!
