The Filing
- It's very close to the election, but this is a good filing wrt what is actually happening here, shame that it'll likely only matter when Harris gets in office, since trump can just throw it out if he becomes president, and it'll not matter anymore then.
Is this the one that Trump wanted to be massively redacted? And Jack Smith said "We should only redact the names of witnesses and other persons not already identified"?
- Actually, here's the awesome and ironic part - Jack Smith wanted this to all be under seal, Judge Chutkan disagreed and took Donald's older request to have the previous filings only redacted for sensitive info, like witness names, and had the rest be publicly available.
  Of course now Donald didn't want this one to be public, lol. Can't have it both ways, Diaper Don.
  
  No, Smith's desire was only to redact names of persons in this oversized filing, nothing else.
In addition to outlining the instances when Trump was directly corrected about his allegations of voter fraud, the filing said Trump privately called allegations of voter fraud made by his lawyer Sidney Powell as "crazy" -- despite employing similar arguments to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election, prosecutors allege.
Not that any of this evidence will matter. A third of our country has poisoned brains and won’t even address it.
Even the factual proffer section on page 3 and 4 is insane, and should and would be immediately disqualifying in any other universe
Trump's lawyers opposed Wednesday's lengthy filing -- which they described as "tantamount to a premature and improper Special Counsel report" -- and argued that public release of the allegations would improperly influence the election and violate Department of Justice policies. Judge Chutkan -- who has long stated that the election does not play a factor in her decision making -- ordered the filing be publicly released Wednesday.
HOW IS IT NOT ELECTION INTERFERENCE TO NOT RELEASE IT??
Seriously, not releasing it would hide necessary information that voters should be given to make an informed decision.
Also, that dumb fuck is the reason it got pushed this close to the election, so it serves him right.
JD Isn't here to talk about the past so Jack Smith will talk about it for h im.
Lock up this desperate weirdo already.
- DOJ: Best I can do is drag this out until he dies of vigilantism or old age.
