In DC federal trial court, under the very able, no-nonsense USDC Judge Chutkan, the Special Counsel’s office is… positively on fyre, of late.

This morning, the prosecution moved to have an advance ruling on its right to introduce lots of extrinsic evidence of Tangerine’s intent to subvert the election; to suppress truthful information about states where he lost the vote, and by how much; and worst of all — to cause rioting and chaos in polling places where it was clear he was losing, specifically targeting black voters, to deprive them of the efficacy of their votes.

It would be hard to overstate how corrosive these bad faith efforts were, to our 240 year history of ordered liberty under law. Here’s the full nine page filing today, and a bit:

…The Government also plans to introduce evidence of an effort undertaken by an agent (and unindicted co-conspirator) of the defendant who worked for his campaign (“the Campaign Employee”) to, immediately following the election, obstruct the vote count. On November 4, 2020, the Campaign Employee exchanged a series of text messages with an attorney supporting the Campaign’s election day operations at the TCF Center in Detroit, where votes were being counted; in the messages, the Campaign Employee encouraged rioting and other methods of obstruction when he learned that the vote count was trending in favor of the defendant’s opponent….

[A redacted paragraph follows; then resumes as follows:]

The Government will also show that around the time of these messages, an election official at the TCF Center observed that as Biden began to take the lead, a large number of untrained individuals flooded the TCF Center and began making illegitimate and aggressive challenges to the vote count. Thereafter, Trump made repeated false claims regarding election activities at the TCF Center, when in truth his agent was seeking to cause a riot to disrupt the count. This evidence is admissible to demonstrate that the defendant, his co-conspirators, and agents had knowledge that the defendant had lost the election, as well as their intent and motive to obstruct and overturn the legitimate results….

[In addition, Trump, as] defendant, and his co-conspirators’ and agents’ aggression in stifling dissent against election fraud claims before, during, and after the charged conspiracies is admissible to demonstrate the defendant and his co-conspirators’ knowledge that their fraud claims were false, to establish their plan for depicting their election lies as true, and to show their intent to silence anyone who refuted their false claims….

Welp. That’s gonna leave a mark. He’s goin’ to… jail.

Out.
