The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s federal election interference case, in an order late Thursday, denied the former president’s last-minute request to block the release of additional evidence gathered by special counsel Jack Smith.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the court will unseal, on Friday, the redacted appendix from the immunity motion filed earlier this month by Smith that included new details about Trump and his allies’ actions leading up to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.
In ruling that the evidence would be publicly released, Chutkan pushed back on Trump’s argument that the release was politically motivated to influence the 2024 presidential election.
Probably. But he needs more than the MAGA faithful to get elected.
It really annoys me that I have to keep explaining this.
Look at the polls - 49% ARE the faithful
No. Voting for someone is not the same as being faithful to him. You are making the same error his supporters made in 2020 when they said everyone who voted for Biden loved him.
I know it will take more than that to put him back in, but the faithful feed the ignorant.
It will take a lot more than that. MAGA faithful are less than 30% of the country. Every new detail about how awful Trump is shaves another few voters away. And it’s only going to take a few.
Thanks for the perspective. I want to agree with you. Pessimistically, I feel like I’m watching a train wreck. My family is reducing their voting to single issue so they don’t have to feel guilty about who they are voting for. I have to imagine that there will be many Republicans that choose not to vote because they can’t bring themselves to vote for either.
i would pay money to see @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world just go off on someone
I don’t. I just get more and more sarcastic until my eyes roll back into my head and shoot into my brain and kill me.
Seriously though, since becoming a parent I almost never truly lose my temper.
Kids do change many people. I think the last time I truly lost my temper I realized what a bad example I was being and haven’t really freaked out like that since.
I lost my temper at my wife a while back. And for good reason. I almost never make a true request of her like I really need her to do something on a high level of importance that had to do with my mental health and she basically blew it off a couple of times. I was pissed off to the point of packing a bag and leaving.
But that’s really rare.
After cleaning your first blowout nothing seems so bad does it
My daughter didn’t shit for like 3 days after she was born and I was getting worried. Then one day, I was holding her out on the balcony and suddenly my hand was all wet. It all came out at once and a diaper was nowhere near enough.
It definitely puts what you’ve had to deal with in life so far in perspective.
And I’m a man. I imagine pushing that thing out of you does the same… although my wife is still pretty good at losing her temper.
i know, that’s why it would be worth a price of admission to see
