The article doesn’t appear to have much of any content, but good lord I hope “Make them riot” is a quote they’ve got documentation of from Trump.

“Make them riot”?? What the fuck?

Trump attempted a coup against the country, nothing less. He should be facing a lot more than jail time for his treason.

The “riot” in question–this is in Michigan. A campaign employee receives word that there’s going to be a Brooks Brothers-type riot in relation to that vote problem, and says that they should “do it”.
More stuff in there. Probably the most notable point is that they have evidence of the plot having started **before the 2020 election**. It was always the plan to cheat.

We can’t expect much from this filing in terms of dissuading wavering Trump voters. However, Trump and team will have to pay money and attention to this filing, and that bleeds their funds from getting out the vote. Second, the stable genius will show himself to be even more a volatile knucklehead in his hyper ventilating responses to this publicity.

Trump keeps talking and talking about “BANANA REPUBLIC”, hes the one, the big Monkey trying to ruin this country.

This is what we were concerned about during last night’s debate – where’s the firewall this time? Last time at least there was Pence. Now he’s got nothing but young MAGA lunatics. Vance isn’t gonna do anything. Johnson definitely isn’t gonna do anything. This is why we *can’t* have Trump win again. These people are serious.

I don’t agree with Pence on social issues but he may have been the only adult in the room during the presidency.

Checking calendar… Yup, it’s October. Is this the October surprise? Maybe?

According to the article:
“When the colleague suggested that there was about to be unrest reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers Riot” during the Florida vote count in the 2000 election, **the campaign employee “responded ‘Make them riot**’ and ‘Do it!!!,’ ” the motion alleges.

Really comprehensive document. I’m sure a lot of redacted can be inferred.
Trump interacted directly with basically everyone in this doc and there are a lot of them. Trump knew he lost, knew that even if there were cases of fraud identified it wouldn’t change the outcome, and that Congress didn’t have the authority to reverse the results of the election.
All the way up to Jan 6th when he gave his speech he knew it was all a lie.
That anyone would vote for him is an embarrassment. Fox News, Newsmax, OANN are all counting on Republican voters to never read this or be unable to read this.

I’d love for literally anything to happen but at this point I’m expecting nothing to change and a repeat of 2020 all over again with an angry mob and fake electors (or some other insidious scheme).

Yeah no wonder he dropped out of 60 minutes lol, and forget another debate. He knew this was coming.

> If Trump wins the election, he will have the power to order the Department of Justice to dismiss the criminal case against him.
This is the only reason he’s running.

Four days later, Pence in another private lunch allegedly tried to urge Trump to accept the election results and run again in 2024.
Trump responded, “I don’t know, 2024 is so far off,” according to the filing.

I usually try to at least scan these as part of my civic duty… but dang 165 pages is a lot. I’ll see how far I can get….
otherwise… Taps foot until Legal Eagle has a 30min summary I can listen to…

“So basically, they’re saying Trump went rogue and acted as a private citizen trying to pull every trick in the book to overturn the election results, and now he’s trying to hide behind ‘presidential immunity.’ Honestly, it’s wild how detailed this is—targeting seven states, pressuring Pence, throwing around all these false claims. Feels like they’re saying, ‘Dude, you crossed the line from President to candidate desperate to keep power, and that’s not covered by your job.’ This is going to be one hell of a trial if it gets that far.”

If Kamala can seize on this properly, Trump loses the election. People who don’t pay much attention to politics will be reminded, on October, exactly the role Trump played on Jan 6th and in other instances.
This is just after JD Vance refused to answer if Trump lost the election.
This could really be that big.

“The defendant asserts that he is immune from prosecution for his criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election because, he claims, it entailed official conduct. Not so,” Smith’s office said in the filing.”
I’m glad Smith is the Special Prosecutor. Having to deal both with the DOJ’s waiting and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of immunity (forgot about “judge” Cannon, another stooge) he’s been hampered by, but is still a goddamn honey badger.

Pence is definitely a witness, his name is all over this report including private lunches he held with Trump after the election telling him it was over
