A bombshell filing out of Donald Trump’s election subversion case was unsealed Wednesday, revealing a trove of damning allegations about how the former president acted on and around Jan. 6, 2021.

Among the nastiest accusations in the 165-page document was how Trump allegedly reacted to learning from an aide that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been taken to a secure location in the U.S. Capitol for his safety.

Trump’s alleged response to that news: “So what?”

      It’s not. It further proves things like his acknoledement of guilt, how he fired those who spoke truth about no proof of cheating, how Ken Chesebro himself called his alternate lists of electors fake and how it was just a ploy to give DonOld the opportunity to say they won and are working with the courts.

      There are a lot of interesting and impactful details throughout the filing and another 200+pg brief is set to drop in the next few weeks from Chutkan with more of this stuff including testimonies

        This is why is so dangerous calling him dumb. It brings that benefit of the doubt, that “he didn’t know that this is not allowed”, that “he is just dumb and did not know better”, “he can’t control himself” etc etc.

        He then exploits every single opportunity given and avoids any punishment (he still did not get any!)

          Nowhere in the rules does it say dogs can’t play basketball the president can’t talk their cult into marching onto the capitol with the intention of hanging their own VP.

      He’s said and done far worse directly in front of a camera. Behind closed doors? I wouldn’t be surprised if he was shooting tied-down kittens in front of school children.
