Special counsel Jack Smith took a meeting with attorneys representing former President Donald Trump earlier this year and reportedly sat in stone-cold silence while they pleaded with him not to indict their client.
Politico reports that ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl’s new book on Trump’s post-presidential life claims that Trump lawyers Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with Smith’s team over the summer and gave them a list of reasons why charging Trump with crimes related to his efforts to illegally remain in power would be a mistake.
According to Karl, Smith sat through through the presentation without saying a word.
Do you guys think there is still a chance that Trump gets elected again?
Don’t you? If anyone doubts he has a chance, you’re not scared enough.
Holy shit, now you really scared me 😳
I’m fucking terrified we’re on our way to the Idiocracy 4th Reich.
the hard pill to swallow is we arent even as good as Idiocracy
at least in Idiocracy the authorities listened to the “expert” and solved the systemic issues.
He’s been avoiding the debates. His rallies are basically a greatest hits from 2016, even though he was president already and could have fixed those things. he’s now using dictator language to dehumanize the opposition so his thugs will be more likely to use violence. All this and he’s leading the Republican race. He’ll run from prison because the Republicans are purely for power now and clearly won’t relinquish it next time.

They’ve been maneuvering, bribing, and putting cronies in places of power for 70 years. They learned from the Civil War that you can’t just fight openly. They used the Civil rights movement to bolster support. Obama was also used to bolster some more.
They own the Supreme Court, the governorship, they’re cementing the house through gerrymandering, the senate favors Republicans along with the electoral college.
The state can’t defend itself when you are the state. Sherman was right, we should have kept on burning.
Yes, it’s still america
People asked similar questions in 2016. Right up to election day.

Any chance at all? Maybe. But the obvious thing I don’t see many comments about is that he cannot gain supporters, only lose them.
If the results of the trials done disqualify him, then yes this is his beer hall putsch. We’re about to get a dictator if we don’t have a blue army voting in droves.
We should all be very afraid.
Every single poll has him winning the general election in 2024.
Are you serious? 😳

When I did polls over the phone I dreaded the political polls the most because they were 30 minutes long and if they didn’t get finished then I got into trouble. Generally, 10-15 minutes is when I would be asked how much longer it would take. I didn’t want to tell the (full) truth so I would say that it would be a bit longer. Sometimes I would tell the full amount. A few people would be okay with it but some chewed me out.
The Jiffy Lube ones were only 5 minutes.
Even my neighbor whos in her 80s doesn’t do that.
