Trump Continues to Disavow the Mob that Sacrificed Their Lives for Him - emptywheel

Trump has -- must have!! -- seen the evidence about his mob that DOJ intends to use at trial. And his response is a blubbering effort to wish his mob away.

He's not denying the charges, he's just saying they shouldn't be applied to him.
Too bad these admissions of guilt won't get used in court.
@emptywheel
It boggles my mind that all this pretrial posturing even exists. I realize the legal system is designed to make it hard to railroad someone, and that is a good thing. But just sea lioning the system should have some constraint.
@emptywheel
without studying the AG's order in detail, it seems to me the wording about outside the Capitol was to prevent having the >1000 cases swept into and diluting Smith's assignment, thus leaving them to the regular justice system to pursue, NOT to say tfg cannot be held responsible for inciting them.
@emptywheel The worst part is fox and other gop propaganda outlets won't play the videos of that day, so their people think it's a lie?, they didn't watch the 1/6 hearings , the divide in America is only going to get worse, the longer Cheetolini stays free to spew his hate!

@emptywheel
U.S. vets?
Jan6 traitors?

The orange narcissist sees no difference.

@emptywheel “Trump also uses outdated and invented crowd numbers to claim that just a fraction of his mob was part of the mob, focusing just on the mob that entered the Capitol and not the one that besieged it, another part of this motion that might invite sur-reply.”

“Look at all my people that DIDN’T violently attack the Capitol that day!”

The sur-reply writes itself.

@emptywheel FYI the NY Fraud case gag order appeal contains the actual court reporter transcripts to date. DJ Trump on the stand begins on page 1725. This might even be too much reading material for Marcy...
