argo_yamatoTrump vows to keep talking about criminal cases despite prosecutors pushing for protective order
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the early voting state of New Hampshire, Trump assailed Smith as a “thug prosecutor” and a “deranged guy” a week after being indicted on felony charges for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The former president lobbed the insults at Smith just days after the Department of Justice asked a judge to approve a protective order stopping Trump from publicly disclosing evidence.
In the four-count indictment filed against Trump last week, the Justice Department accused him of orchestrating a scheme to block the peaceful transfer of power.
He was told by multiple people in trusted positions that his claims were false, prosecutors said, but he spread them anyway to sow public mistrust about the election.
Trump, who is also facing charges in Florida and New York, is gearing up for a possible fourth indictment, in a case out of Fulton County, Georgia, over alleged efforts by him and his allies to illegally meddle in the 2020 election in that state.
Trump, who has portrayed the investigations as politically motivated, said they are forcing him “to spend time and money away from the campaign trail in order to fight bogus made-up accusations and charges.”

TransplantedSconieCool.
I hear the DC jail cells are quite comfortable according to the chuds he sent to kill the VP and other congress critters.

kescusayHe’s testing to see how far he can push. But he’s going to find out Jack Smith pushes back a hell of a lot harder.
Plaid_KaleidoscooeI fucking love that guy. As an aspirational lawyer, what a role model!
The best thing about him is that I don’t have a clue what his politics are. He’s worked for Democrats and Republicans, and he has never, as far as I’m aware, said a single goddamn word in public about his political opinions. Nothing. And his prosecutorial record is similarly impossible to use as a barometer for his politics. It shows that he’s extremely good at his job, and nothing else.
Gotta respect a guy like that. Partisan to one thing and one thing only: Serving justice.
Let’s hope he doesnt Harvey Dent us.
He also has a very neutral name. It’s like he’s a superhero by night. Like Jack Smith is an alter ego, similar to Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne
FuglyDuckIt might just be copium, but jack smith is starting to give me some hope and take the edge off my jaded political nihilism.
I think we’re really gonna need a movie off this. “Jack Smith: Special Prosecutor”. it kind of sounds like… a jack ryan type spy thriller… and it practically writes itself. (only action being Jack running a triathalon.)
Especially after how milquetoast Garland has been. But that may have been to remove any notion of political retribution. Though they scream about it anyway.
He knows that he’s not going to see consequences no matter what he does.
Yep, until something actually happens he will continue to do this
I’ve seen nothing to indicate that he will ever encounter consequences.
He’s confident. Hopefully his confidence is misplaced.
be_excellent_to_each_otherHe knows that he’s not going to see consequences no matter what he does.
I'm starting to feel like I know that too.
I know that Jack Smith, and Fanni Willis, are too professional to be bothered by such inflammatory remarks, but it can’t be a smart move to attack the people who are writing indictments. Not all the donations in the world can make up for what he will face in prison.
Brudder AaronWhile I really REALLY hope he doesn’t weasel himself out of this, our justice system highly favors people with money to pay for crimes to go away.
Trump’s old buddy Jeff Epstein was successful using that method… until he wasn’t.
still… no justice there
I wonder when the big republican donors will give up throwing money at the problem. A twice impeached, twice loser of the general election, 3 indictments so far and DeSantis fighting shadows and losing. I’d just save my money for the midterms
The really big donors are either investors in trump already, and getting hit with the sink cost fallacy or shopping elsewhere for their politicians
Honestly, I can’t imagine what they’re going through.
And I doubt very much either of them aren’t bothered.
No amount of professionalism will keep you from feeling it. They are professionals, and they hide it well… but they still have feelings and it still hurts. (And I assume the threats by his thugs make them angry and scared,)
The two-tiered justice system is a freaking joke. I was taught my entire life that we are all equal under the law (yeah, I know). Anyone else, not rich/white, would be behind bars already awaiting his trial. trump just continuing to damage the country.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread

downpunxxkeep talkin fucko, gonna dare the wrong judge, and then there'll be something none of us every seen before
He’s just doing what he always does: talk as much trash about how he’s not afraid and harassing the opposition, but I guarantee that if the order goes through, he’ll get very vague very fast. Bullies are always a bunch of talk until the real muscle comes in.
RiccosuaveTrump will continue to play grab ass with the fuck-around gang until he finds the exact line in the sand that guarantees he gets held in pre-trial detention. If he gets thrown in the slammer while awaiting trial he will claim he is a political prisoner, and if they don’t stick him there he will do everything in his power to commit soft-treason through his cult. Everything surrounding Trump is, and always has been a lose/lose situation for this country.
Until he is made to suffer serious consequences for his violent petulence and penchant for authoritarianism things will never move forward in any meaningful way. He is a distraction that, when all is said and done, will have stagnated the progress of this country for a decade at minimum.
Edit: Accidentally a word
So we take the “Lock Him Up” approach and if anyone has a problem with that, we lock them up too.
tallwookieit’s only tyranny if you disagree with the majority…
Yea, because locking a guy up who is blatantly threatening witnesses and prosecutors in criminal cases against him- despite numerous warnings not to- is so tyrannical.
If trump wasn’t a rich white ex president, he would have been arrested the night of, held until trial in prison and convicted with in a few months.
The real tyranny here is the dual justice systems in which this idiot walks free despite trying to overturn the government and walking out with some of the nations secrets is treated like kid gloves with nothing happening for over 2 and a half years.
SquirrelThat’s what gets me. It’s not like he was smart about it. It’s not like he tried to hide it. No, he does stuff in broad fucking daylight, openly admits it, and still gets off scot free! Not only that, but his cult of nutjob dumbasses worships him for it, all while acting like it’s tHe OtHeR SiDe commiting treason.
Interestingly… I looked it up on chat gpt.
As of ‘21, the person with the most felonies appears to be richard Ramirez at 43 (murder, attempted murder, sexual assault and burglary)
another guy initially pointed to- Richard McCoy - had 16 in DB cooper like hijackings.
Granted it’s chatgpt… but trump truly is “uprecedendted” (In his scope of criminality.)
I strongly suggest you don’t treat a language learning model as a search engine or any kind of artificial intelligence. It is not.
and that’s exactly why I flaggd it as coming from chat GPT. combing through the literally thousands of jurisdictions in the US to find the most felonious guy is… not something I have time for and a quick search turned up nothing about the actual subject. feel free to drop a more reliable source, though.
atocciBing Chat does a proper search at least before it starts making claims. I use it a lot.
CHPT is a language model, not a search engine
golf clap
Nice. I didn’t know that.
Search engines came up with “percentage of us population incarcersted” and “number of us felons”,
So, me, not wanting to do a doctoral thesis level of research used a tool get an answer. If you happen to have a better answer…. By all means…
But just uselessy pointing out a fact i already knew… (and the reason I flagged it as being the source…) …
Tf are you searching? These are all SERPS from different searches.
You’re all over the place bud
He would have been arrested the night of, held until trial in prison and convicted with in a few months.
The really irritating part is this isn’t even conjecture. Over a 1000 convictions have already been secured in connection to January 6th, many of those people were held pending trial, and for fucks sake some of them are already out of prison before Trump has even had his day in court.
Anybody who can’t see the hypocrisy in that, and identify how that implicitly constitutes a two tiered justice system is either brainwashed or so full of shit their eyes are brown. Facts matter, accountability matters, democracy is not a given, and it is about god damn time we start taking each of those things seriously.

I blocked your chud ass already. Why am I seeing this shit?
i. am. unstoppable.
Everything surrounding Trump is, and always has been a lose/lose situation for this country.
It’s like the whole US is scared of a scar so they keep delaying the op to get the tumor out.
Good analogy. Let’s just hope it is excised before it metastasises and kills the patient.
I think the greater fear is that anything done against him becomes fuel for the Republicans/conservatives to elect an even worse human being.
While I generally agree with you assessment, I think it is important to note that not punishing Trump would embolden or exacerbate his brand of bully pulpit tactics even more. This fear of retribution just means we need to be ever vigilant, and take the threat of authoritarian minority rule seriously.
That is what we are ultimately talking about, and the only way to prevent that is to stay engaged politically, and to hold our leaders to account whenever they trample on the rights of our fellow citizens or our democracy.
Exactly.
The only thing you get with appeasement is vindicated bullies. justice must fall. or the US falls. if he goes this far without consequnces… then the next guy will go a little bit further and a little bit further. In fact, that’s pretty much the TLDR of Trump’s entire political career.
Flying SquidAlthough sitting in a cell is my favored outcome for him for doing this, I would love it if the judge just barred him from using electronic devices. Can you imagine how pissed off he’d be?
Will that order include a dude following him around and slapping phones out of his hand? Because he is already not allowed to talk about the case and he just ignored it.
Did you ever see the old Disney cartoon, The Band Concert, where Donald Duck just keeps pulling flutes out of everywhere like up his sleeve and under his hat? You’re making me think that’s what Trump will do. Hide phones everywhere so he can constantly sneak onto TruthSocial. In his socks, in his underwear, under his MAGA cap…
That is literally what he does. The classified document case revealed that he rarely uses his own phone, he just ask whatever employee he is next to to borrow theirs.
Fine, let them know that if they do that and get found out, they’ll get thrown in the slammer. That’ll put the breaks on that one.
The brakes, even.
