My post about the latest Trump indictment and about how people -- specifically the National Review -- are lying to you about it.

People Are Lying To You About The Trump Indictment

National Review Is Lying, For Instance. There Will Be More. Keep An Eye Out.

The Popehat Report
@Popehat NR lying about something? Never!
@Popehat It took until now to realize that the old RSS subscription I had for your site was out of date and hadn't had a post since 2019. Oops.
@Reil You mean Popehat.com? Dead as a door nail.
@Popehat yep, and I somehow hadn't noticed! Kids these days with their substances and their subtweets. At least substack has functional RSS. Cheers!

@Popehat I would love to hear you opine about the scienter elements for these crimes.

Are they all specific intent crimes?

Do you have to intend to deprive the right or is intending the action that deprives the right sufficient?

Is there a potential “deliberate ignorance” instruction that could apply to Trump’s “belief” the election was stolen?

Is there a reasonable person standard for when you’re told in no uncertain terms “X” but you claim to believe “not X?”

@Popehat Lord, that was good reading. Well with my time
@Popehat "Emergency podcast"? Is that bait for Josh?

@Popehat

The anger really sharpened yr. pen, there.

Thanks for this.

@Popehat what i like specifically about this article is it doesn't hesitate to use the word "lie", many times
@Popehat One point I think you undersell in this piece is that it wasn't just Trump and his Co-Conspirators - it was **The President of the United States of America** and his most trusted Advisors. He took an Oath to Uphold and Defend the Constitution against all enemies. Instead, he became an enemy. #Coup

@Popehat

Lies? Really... we're talking about a serial liar

@Popehat I appreciate your article. It’s so hard to find people who don’t have agenda. I started following you on twitter long time ago and have come to trust you to be objective. One thing I miss about twitter is that lot of the people I trust to tell the truth aren’t on other platforms.
@Popehat "Lies are not opinions" 👏
