The Washington Post - New indictment filed against Trump in federal Jan. 6 case

breaking !

Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a new indictment of Donald Trump in the case involving an alleged conspiracy to obstruct the results of the 2020 election - a move that comes in the wake of an historic Supreme Court ruling granting broad immunity to presidents for official acts, and just before an election period window was about to close on filing such charges.

 

The new indictment comes just 10 days before a Justice Department policy known as “the 60-day rule” would take effect forestalling any new filing of charges against the former president and current presidential candidate.

 

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

The NY Times - Special Counsel Revises Trump Election Indictment to Address Immunity Ruling

breaking

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday issued a revised version of an indictment accusing former President Donald J. Trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, stripping out some charges in order to help it survive the Supreme Court’s recent ruling granting former presidents broad immunity for official acts in office. ...

 

Perhaps the most significant change between the 36-page superseding indictment and the original 45-page indictment was that Mr. Smith’s deputies removed all the allegations concerning Mr. Trump’s attempts to strong-arm the Justice Department into supporting his false claims that the election had been rigged against him.

Real anti-Trump billboards...

Funny how the orange buffoon just conveniently "forgets" all the nasty stuff anyone has said about him previously if he needs/wants something from them 🙄

Would love to see how James would respond if asked "didn't you once call Trump America's Hitler?" - would be great to see him try and squirm his way out of that one!

Real anti-Trump billboards...

 

But wouldn't it be refreshing if it was about policy? Both sides are as bad as each other in that regard, spending most of their time and money vilifying the opponent and pointing out hypocrisy rather than explaining actual policy. They're politicians, they're all hypocrites and liars - it's in the job description. These sorts of billboards don't change anyone's minds.

Sit-downs, debates, town halls and interviews are about policy. Billboards are just about zingers.

The NY Times - Opinion - Jack Smith’s New Case Against Trump Is Much Stronger Than His Old One

 ... I disagree strongly with the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, but to the extent there is any silver lining in that dark constitutional cloud, it’s that for Smith, less is truly more. ...

 

Smith’s first indictment would have given Trump room to argue that he was doing nothing more than using the levers of government power to investigate election fraud, a classic function of the Department of Justice. ...

 

Trump’s fake electors scheme, by contrast, was a campaign function, not an exercise of presidential power. ...

 

There was never a credible argument for fake electors. And by conspiring to submit fraudulent electoral votes, Trump’s conduct fits squarely within precedent for federal offenses.

 

Trump's four alleged crimes are:

1. Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government (to “overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election”)

2. Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding (the congressional certification of election results)

3. Obstruction of an official proceeding (by trying to get Congress to accept fake electors)

4. Conspiracy against rights (specifically to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” people from having their vote be counted)

The important point to note here is that Smith convened a brand new Grand Jury who were not shown the evidence that may possibly be tainted after the Supreme Court immunity ruling - and they still indicted Trump on the same charges as before. This leaves the Trump camp with little room to wriggle out of this on the basis of immunity.

Debates not so much.

Well the Billboard is quite mild, and its what the boy said.
J.D said much more inflamitory things about Trump.

Compared with Trumps long track record, pretty mild stuff compared with what you could put.

Policy, 

Yeh well there is the rub.
You can promise a magical healthcare scheme that costs little (which we still have no detail of), solve every infrastructure problem without spend, build massive walls, solve Middle East problem for good, stock market will charge on to never ending highs etc.
 
Trump by actions even 'before the election before last' has shown a lack of Honesty and Ethics even on a basic level in Trump University and many other business and personal dealings. 
Add what has happend since, and its fair to question.

While no one is 'pure' you expect some puffery.
Without a basic level of Ethics and Honesty, Policy is worth little.
Character is foundation the rest is built on.

Otherwise are you just voting in the Elisabeth Holmes (Theranos) of politics. 

Something on the lighter side:
