Most GOP Senators & Reps KNEW. Silence is complicity.

Newly unsealed court filing argues Trump isn't entitled to immunity from prosecution.

Trump “resorted to crimes” in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election, fed prosecutors said.

The filing was submitted by SC Smith’s team following a SC opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents.

Trump’s legal team have employed a delaying strategy-.

#GOPConspirators *Why: not charged?

Republicans & their enablers, esp. those at well funded institutions & think tanks, are furthering #TheBigLie by telling voters that the 2024 election is already 'rigged'🚨& aiding in #TFG's pres. campaign:

"The Heritage FND (Leonard Leo's) is already declaring the 2024 election rigged beyond repair."
-L Jedeed

"The Electoral College, malapportioned Senate, & gerrymandered House all give REPUBLICANS an advantage beyond their national support, not Democrats."
-S Wolf

#TFG & #GOPConspirators appear to be failing at spinning the verdict. He is, & will always be a #Felon.

#MAGA crowd: moved from attempting to delegitimize: an election -to the judicial system -from defaming: election workers -to jurors. In keeping with other fascist mvts, the MAGA cult attempts to undermine every inst. & person resisting its authoritarian leader. Biden: smart to reiterate that message daily +Dems must denounce the mvt's coord. assault on the #ruleoflaw.

The Washington Post · Democrats must defend Trump’s guilty verdict against MAGA jury denialBy Jennifer Rubin

Republicans are disqualifying themselves from serving as US Senators, Reps… given their seditious & nihilistic comments about the three equal branches of government, justice system, Constitution, #J6… They’re attempting to pervert the system to normalize a felon. #GOPConspirators #TFG huffpost.com/entry/us-election

HuffPost · Republicans Join Trump's Attacks On Justice System And Campaign Of Vengeance After Guilty VerdictBy AP

MSM needs to interview Independents too. Few will support the #Felon as the GOP presidential nominee, & most will likely support Pres Biden for president:

"Better late than never I guess. CNN did something that's been sorely lacking in the media these days, which is to talk to what's left of some of the sane voters in the Republican party who are disgusted with Trump and voted for Nikki Haley in the primary."

Crooks and Liars · CNN Finally Pays Attention To All Of Those Haley Primary VotersBy Heather

Dem candidates: Sen/HSE... must unite with a message on the #Felon: verdict integral to #TFG's 2016 win: guilty, so presidency: essentially illegit. due to election interference, RU help, esp. SM, hack...

The force of this truth should inform how Dems proceed now. Biden campaign: no plans for any paid ads on the verdict. After TFG/elite enablers attempted mightily to wreck the whole system to keep him beyond accountability at all costs -jury -said: No.

The New Republic · Trump’s Stunning Guilty Verdict Shatters His Aura of InvincibilityHis conviction on 34 felony counts is powerful new information, and we should hold institutional Democrats responsible if they don’t use it—ruthlessly and effectively.
Continued thread

So far there aren’t any ethical Republicans currently serving in Senate & House, or the SOH, or R governors… who have called for #TFG to step down as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee or have called him shameful, deeply corrupt… Sen Collins is considered a moderate, & she’s not known for being openly corrupt, but she is just like her colleagues, demonstrating her contempt for the legal system & the Constitution. These politicians are co-conspirators & traitors to America. #GOPConspirators

A former Congressman, supporter of #TFG, & founding member of the #MAGA freedom caucus, questions Republican leaders on their decision to likely nominate Trump as their presidential candidate:

"Donald Trump
GUILTY of 34 felonies per jury of 12 random citizens (none sought job).

GOP faces choice. USA future at stake.

Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future.

OR

Replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!"
-Mo Brooks

This statement by #MAGAMike is disqualifying for the 2nd in line for the presidency. The rule of law is sacrosanct in America. House Dems shouldn’t save his speakership again. Speaker Johnson is lawless, & not worthy of serving in Congress. Ditto for the other traitors in the Senate & the House.

"TFG becomes first ex-president convicted of felonies in election fraud case."
-D Rothkopf

"Accountability is happening because we are a democracy and rule of law applies... we have a responsibility as citizens to recognize the gravity of this moment."
-R Maddow

#TFG is finally facing prison time. The rule of law stands. Justice can still be served in America. If the Republican Party has any integrity left (doubtful), their leaders will replace him on the presidential ticket, but many GOP leaders are co-conspirators. Will they be held resp.?

Continued thread

Another Republican co-conspirator, Rep Kimble: This traitor is supposed to represent the constituents of #CA54, but instead, he's more loyal to #TFG than to his district & to uphold the #ruleoflaw:

"People are laughing this off as ignorant. I see it as intentional, part of a propaganda strategy aimed at uninformed voters who will say: "another example of Dems going after our beloved Trump & trying to frame him!"
-R Ben-Ghiat

The "axis of evil" expands🚨:

Musk & Trump's ties are deepening. They've discussed a possible advisor role for Musk should Trump win the pres. election. Musk & N Peltz have briefed Trump on a data-driven voter fraud project & anti-Biden efforts.

They discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security & the economy (Musk has no expertise in...), both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

Pres Biden's advisors must see what Netanyahu is signaling. If the president doesn't make an about face on Israel soon, he doesn't just lose some young voters, other cohorts may stay home in Nov., thereby electing #TFG.

"A top Israeli security official says he expects 'another seven months of fighting' in Gaza will be needed to defeat Hamas."

#TFG/Rs sink to new lows (Dante's inferno seems relevant).

How is this not bigger news?

TFG posted a video of one of his supporters attacking "blowjob liberals" & raging that if TFG is elected, he'll "get rid" of liberals, who'll be "gone." He’ll get rid of all you fucking liberals. You liberals are gone when he fucking wins."

The video he posted got notice for attacking JoeNBC.

By promoting this video, he endorsed that sentiment re libs generally.
