"SNIP.............

“Donald Trump’s lawyers are scrambling to get ahead of what could be this election’s October surprise: the public release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report detailing evidence in the election fraud case against the former president,” NOTUS reports.

“In a court filing on Tuesday, Trump’s legal team accused the Department of Justice of putting together a ‘politically motivated manifesto’ specifically timed to influence voters ‘in the final weeks of the 2024 Presidential election while early voting has already begun throughout the United States.'”

“They asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to highly redact the report or stop it from appearing in the court’s public docket altogether.”

Well, that is THEIR doing with all the stupid foot dragging legal stunts to slow it all down. They must have, or HE must have thought it would just go down America's memory hole and he would be saved. They tactics prove they have no defense for what he has done.

Isn’t that special? We are dicking around with this in October 2024 Donald because of YOUR judges on the Supreme Court and your nonstop interference in judicial matters. You timed this Donald.

If anyone reading this had been found guilty of 34 felonies six months ago, where would you be now? Asking for 100 million Americans.

He can be a narcissistic Nazi monster, but he's still better than any democrat. They hate democrats that much.

I read TFG's filing and it was weak. I doubt that Judge Chutkan will buy what TFG's attorneys are arguing

They haven’t been able to intimidate her so far, and that’s a good sign going forward. I suspect she’s as fed up as we are.
