When You Put It That Way

If Trump wins in 2024 and Biden just declares himself the winner, ordering Harris to throw it to the states and getting D states to say he won, maybe some will say, hey that's illegal you lost that election but that would be just them being political. https://t.co/ZS6p2sTP6K

Are Trump defenders really going to spend the year arguing for Biden's right to overturn the election if he loses?

The defenses of the current Republican frontrunner are all variations on, "You can't prosecute a man for being genuinely stupid."

Also keep in mind that Co-Conspirator 4 is Jeffrey Clark, whom Trump planned to make (and had at that point already offered the position of) Acting Attorney General. So this was coming from the would-be top law enforcement officer in the country. Mind boggling. https://t.co/xhLuOvADkI

Now let's talk again about who was weaponizing the government? https://t.co/AwZhSzEFOX

Projection is a harsh mistress.

“We need a new judge,” says senator who voted to confirm said judge. https://t.co/uLG92tXoN6

So you agree with Trump, that the Constitution must be scrapped in order to save him (venue is set by the Constitution)?

My theory of the Jack Smith timing is it was all arranged by Republicans who needed to change the subject from their defense of slavery as a vo-tech program to get back to attacking the American legal system.

So, Lindsey is right? Oh, no, he’s just a Republican!

BINGO 🎯🎯 https://t.co/PY0zb3sfNT

And another defense bites the dust.

Collins: Trump's attorneys are saying he was just exercising his first amendment right here. Do you think that's a valid argument in your view?

Barr: No, I really don't think that's a valid argument. pic.twitter.com/Fgqkzqp571

Barr: But as a legal matter, I don't see a problem with the indictment. I think that it's not an abuse. The DOJ is not acting to weaponize the department by proceeding against the president for a conspiracy to subvert the electoral process pic.twitter.com/pEiGLeS48n

BILL BARR IS A RINO! (It’s not like he really respects the rule of law.)

Bill Barr on CNN: "As the indictment says, they're not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy." pic.twitter.com/YqK1g4alaK

When he's right, he's right! ( it’s also why that defense is likely to be limined out (legal jargon). Because it’s not a defense to a conspiracy charge.

meanwhile Fox Business is covering the indictment by having 3 guys who worked for Trump talk to each other pic.twitter.com/ypd2kB6EWm

It’s like a DougJBalloon tweet come to life.

Good God, Jonathan Turley is a presumptuous twit.

.@JoeNBC: "This is far from being a democratic conspiracy against Donald Trump...The 45-page indictment is filled with not only Republicans that supported Trump and voted for Trump, but people whose lives depended on him winning the election." https://t.co/fEW09LHcYT

That really is a telling political observation.

What a broken man. @marcorubio bent the knee and never got up. https://t.co/4M8C56w5gZ

Even Twitter gets it.
