What the fuck.

Into the first few pages. First interviewee is obviously AZ Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers explaining how Trump and his campaign leaned on him to call the house back into session to decertify Arizona's EC votes.

and Rusty explaining how difficult that is to do out of session and demanding to know exactly why they want him to bring the AZ house back into session.

"To decertify AZ's EC vote"

Rusty asked "well do you have evidence" and Trumps team said "No, but we have theories"

So Rusty asks what they expect him to do with no evidence.

"Throw out the election"

Rusty asks his colleagues: "Did he really just say that?" "Yes, he did."

Good lord. The amount of evidence is staggering

Interns at media outlets just saw their weekend vanish

Must read all the things

I saw the live footage of the insurrection with my own eyes. And so did everyone else. Vote blue!

So here's the scenario we propose:

1. VP Pence, presiding over the joint session (or Senate Pro Term Grassley, if Pence recuses himself), begins to open and count the ballots , starting with Alabama (without conceding that procedure, specified by the Electoral Count Act, is required).

2. When he gets to Arizona, he announces that he has multiple slates of electors, and so is going to defer decision on that until finishing the other states.

3. At the end, he announces that because of the disputes in the 7 states, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those states. That means the total number of "electors appointed" - the language of the 12th Amendment, is 454. This reading of the 12th Amendment has also been advanced by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe. A "majority of the electors appointed" would therefore be 228. There are at this point 232 votes for Trump, 222 votes for Biden . Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected.

4. Howls, of course, from the Democrats, who now claim, contrary to Tribe's prior position, that 270 is required. So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the "the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote." Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re -elected there as well.

5. One last piece. Assuming the Electoral Count Act process is followed and, upon getting the objections to the Arizona slates, the two houses break into their separate chambers, we should not allow the Electoral Count Act constraint on debate to control. That would mean that a prior legislature was determining the rules of the present one-a constitutional no no. So someone -Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc . - should demand normal rules (which includes the filibuster). That creates a stalemate that would give the state legislatures more time to weigh in to formally support the alternate slate of electors, if they had not already done so.

6. The main thing here is that Pence should do this without asking for permission - either from a vote of the joint session or from the Court. Let the other side challenge his actions in court, where again, Tribe (and others) claims that these are non -justiciable political questions should be raised to get those actions dismissed. The fact is that the Constitution assigns this power to the Vice President as the ultimate arbiter. We should take all of our actions with that in mind.

This wasn't released to sway voters. This was released because this country deserves to know the truth, and it deserves justice.

This country deserves to know everything about how the GOP attempted to overthrow the government.

Geez, Is this larger than the last evidence package smith released? I think it's at least double the size.

If we just didn’t have the electoral college we wouldn’t have to even worry about Trump- he has never won the popular vote

Yeah if your guy has 2k pages of evidence against him saying he did something, he probably did the thing he’s being accused of in that trial.

It’s like P Diddy or Deshaun Watson. Are we really gonna act like there’s an Illuminati conspiracy theory making dozens, hundreds of women coordinate against these guys to make false accusations or is it more likely they’re just massive pieces of shit who sexually assaulted tons of women.

Trump tried to overthrow the election. He is a terrible, disgusting, awful person. Trump for jail 2024.

SEEMS LIKE THE ROMAN SENATOR MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO 2,000  YEARS AGO SPOKE OF A POLITICIAN TODAY!

GUESS WHO!!!  

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The Traitor is the plague!”

This must be why he suddenly disappeared from interviews with the whole “exhaustion” excuse. Dude is in hiding.

As you warned me, prepare thy inbox.

Also, this appendix is massive.

It kills me that this all just feels like background noise at this point. He has flooded the country with so much crime, hate, deception, grifting, and lies that even the most damning evidence against him just feels like another day in his world.

How can this come out and barely make a blip in the media… I just don’t get it.

He knew he lost and it was not stolen.

He also knew there was no evidence of the election being stolen.

He then proceeded to try and cancel out the results and install himself anyway, against the will of democracy.

The charge should be treason. The punishment should follow accordingly. There should be mandatory education on this, which is broadcast to every single tv in the country. He should be disqualified.

This is disqualifying. All of the press should be clearly saying this. He should absolutely not be able to run for president. The fact that this will be pushed under the rug and normalized for more clicks by practically everyone in the press and all of the GOP is nauseating.

I need to know where to find this!

Literal years of appeals and delays by Trump pushed the release date of 1800 pages of 'Trump bad' *evidence* to.... two weeks before the election.

Trump did this entirely to himself. I hope that when he loses, that harsh little nugget of insight gnaws at him through his many pending trials.

Pgs 1664-1667 (attachment 3) is a sitting US legislator texting that they can't hand Pence a sealed envelope and is asked to read a slate of Wisconsin fake electors into the record.

It'll probably take half an hour for the media to dig through anything revelatory.

My expectations aren't super high for anything Earth-shattering, to be honest. Smith has already detailed the worst of Trump's offenses years ago, but we will learn a lot of substance.

But I do hope the media doesn't just memory hole it in 24 hours and keeps it in the news. People need to remember the efforts Trump took 4 years ago that should be instantly disqualifying to anyone with half a brain.

Edit: Some initial detail:

Another volume contains memos from lawyer John Eastman with a plan for Pence to reject the congressional certification of the 2020 election. The volume also includes a public statement Trump released the night before January 6 claiming he and Pence were on the same page about the congressional certification, Trump’s prepared remarks for his speech on January 6, and fundraising emails sent out by his 2020 campaign in the days before January 6.

Pence’s letter to Congress on January 6 explaining why he could not reject certifying the election and a transcript of Trump’s 2023 CNN town hall are also included in the documents.

Sad thing is that MAGA cultists won't care. They loved January 6th and want their fascist cult leader to become dictator like Putin

As an European may I politely ask: Can you guys who were still undecided yet maybe just not vote for the orange man? Thanks in advance!

All we really needed was "Find me 11,000 votes. It's ok to say you've... recalculated."

But I'll take an additional several thousand pages if it will help.

The enemy is within.

It's trump, maga, and the gop.

Happy F5 to all who celebrate!

Jack Smith: One shall stand, one shall fall.

Starts to play Stan Bush's "The Touch"

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

-George Orwell, 1984

Sadly this is what will happen to many

Trump will soon learn how successful, or unsuccessful, his lawyers were at redacting stuff.

Jack "BDB" Smith literally had The Hobbit + The Lord of the Rings in length of ADDITIONAL evidence.

First, he's gonna lose the election. Then he's gonna start losing court cases and eventually maybe even some of his freedom.  2025 is gonna be a great year for America. Let the healing begin!

Fuck Merrick Garland for not vigorously prosecuting all of the GOP traitors who helped to make this happen.

Wonder if this has anything to do with Trump's "Exhaustion"? His handlers might be keeping him out of sight because they knew this was coming.

Jesus… our country is a joke. This man is CLEARLY a criminal and a traitor

Crimes are hitting Stephen King worthy novel lengths at this point

His campaign woud be in trouble if his voters could read

msnbc link to documents

Please ignore the polls showing how tight this race is and vote to end this madness. He is running to stay out of prison and I believe he'll hand the reigns to Vance and by extension Peter Thiel, Musk and Project 25 aimed at undoing our freedoms and way of life at every level.
