Trump wants to run out the clock on his criminal trials. The 6ix Republicans on the Supreme Court assist him.

Trump is circling the drain. Caught in the vortex of a flushed toilet.

Recordings, emails show how Trump team flew fake elector ballots to DC in final push to overturn 2020 election | December 28, 2023

Two days before the January 6 insurrection, the Trump campaign’s plan to use fake electors to block President-elect Joe Biden from taking office faced a potentially crippling hiccup: The fake elector certificates from two critical battleground states were stuck in the mail.

So, Trump campaign operatives scrambled to fly copies of the phony certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin to the nation’s capital, relying on a haphazard chain of couriers, as well as help from two Republicans in Congress, to try to get the documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence while he presided over the Electoral College certification.

The operatives even considered chartering a jet to ensure the files reached Washington, DC, in time for the January 6, 2021, proceeding, according to emails and recordings obtained by CNN.

The new details provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the chaotic last-minute effort to keep Donald Trump in office. The fake electors scheme features prominently in special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal indictment against the former president, and some of the officials who were involved have spoken to Smith’s investigators.

‘Illegal’: Trump explodes after Jack Smith corners him on Jan. 6 conspiracy theory

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has requested a U.S. District Judge to prevent former President Donald Trump from introducing “irrelevant disinformation” into his D.C. election subversion trial.

The motion aims to prohibit Trump from using certain arguments in his defense that prosecutors consider misleading and irrelevant.

The filing came after the case was paused as Trump seeks presidential immunity from prosecution. (Trending: Democrat Targets U.S. Troops With New Gun Control Law)

“Although the Court can recognize these efforts for what they are and disregard them, the jury — if subjected to them — may not,” wrote Jack Smith’s team.

“The Court should not permit the defendant to turn the courtroom into a forum in which he propagates irrelevant disinformation, and should reject his attempt to inject politics into this proceeding,” they continued.

Special counsel Jack Smith warned in a new filing Saturday that ex-President Donald Trump’s bid for immunity could “license presidents to commit crimes to remain in office.”

INTRODUCTION
For the first time in our Nation’s history, a grand jury has charged a former President with committing crimes while in office to overturn an election that he lost. In response, the defendant claims that to protect the institution of the Presidency, he must be cloaked with absolute immunity from criminal prosecution unless the House impeached and the Senate convicted him for the same conduct. He is wrong. Separation of powers principles, constitutional text, history, and precedent all make clear that a former President may be prosecuted for criminal acts he committed while in office — including, most critically here, illegal acts to remain in power despite losing an election.

Trump is up 2.3 points in the polling aggregate. He's up 7.8 points in the betting averages.

Democrats had better work on issues that voters actually care about while they still can and let this one go. They're not going to be able to get rid of their political opposition by imprisoning them or taking them off of ballots like 3rd world dictators.

If Mr. Trump is tried and convicted, a mountain of public opinion data suggests voters would turn away from the former president.

Still likely to be completed before Election Day remains the special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution of Mr. Trump for allegedly scheming to overturn the 2020 election. That trial had been set to start on March 4, 2024, but that date has been put on hold, pending appellate review of the trial court’s rejection of Mr. Trump‘s presidential immunity. On Friday the Supreme Court declined Mr. Smith’s request for immediate review of the question, but the appeal is still headed to the high court on a rocket docket. That is because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia will hear oral argument on Jan. 9 and will probably issue a decision within days of that, setting up a prompt return to the Supreme Court. Moreover, with three other criminal cases also set for trial in 2024, it is entirely possible that Mr. Trump will have at least one criminal conviction before November 2024.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.
DONALD J. TRUMP, Defendant

The implications of the defendant’s broad immunity theory are sobering. In his view, a court should treat a President’s criminal conduct as immune from prosecution as long as it takes the form of correspondence with a state official about a matter in which there is a federal interest,
a meeting with a member of the Executive Branch,
or a statement on a matter of public concern.
That approach would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to
a President who accepts a bribe in exchange for directing a lucrative government contract to the payer;
a President who instructs the FBI Director to plant incriminating evidence on a political enemy;
a President who orders the National Guard to murder his most prominent critics; or
a President who sells nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary,
because in each of these scenarios, the President could assert that he was simply executing the laws;
or communicating with the Department of Justice;
or discharging his powers as Commander-in-Chief;
or engaging in foreign diplomacy.
Under the defendant’s framework, the Nation would have no recourse to deter a President from inciting his supporters during a State of the Union address to kill opposing lawmakers — thereby hamstringing any impeachment proceeding — to ensure that he remains in office unlawfully.
See Blassingame v. Trump, 87 F.4th 1, 21 (D.C. Cir. 2023) (President’s delivery of the State of the Union address is an official act).
Such a result would severely undermine the compelling public interest in the rule of law and criminal accountability.
