Apparently Trump is actually planning to do this.


Former president Donald Trump and some of his legal advisers see an upside to the latest criminal case against him: He can use his upcoming trial to further argue his false claims of a stolen 2020 election.


The looming courtroom showdown is poised to push his insistence that election fraud occurred in 2020 toward the center of the 2024 presidential campaign, a dismaying prospect for Republicans and some of Trump’s advisers who have urged him to stop belaboring that subject. Trump’s defense team has signaled that they’ll focus on rebutting prosecutors’ allegations that Trump knew his fraud claims were false.

 

Good perspective from Timothy Snyder

 

so don't even try to defend yourself from the charges, just keep charging on with the crimes? Sounds like an excellent defense strategy.

 

It was just today I found out from the Trump attny. that it's legal to conspire to overturn a Presidential election if you are simply just not convinced that the election was fraudulent and you don't even need any evidence. So 1/6 should happen every four years now? SMH

 

Not the only reason but I suspect they were probably dissuaded by what happened to the January 6 "tourists" who also expressed their support of Trump in DC.

 

You need to add more: not only are you “convinced, but your own Team has told you that all evidence demonstrates you lost.

 

I truly don’t know the answer to the following question, but perhaps someone here can assist. For the sake of perspective, in light of President Trump’s request for the SCOTUS to intervene, can someone tell me how often one defendant is indicted by three different federal grand juries within a span of a year? I’m sure it happens, maybe even a lot, but I’m guessing when it does, the defendant is a murderer or is involved in a huge wire fraud scheme or both. I would just like to know how often that happens - one individual indicted by three different federal grand juries in such a short time and what those individuals did that warranted the various indictments.

Now add on to that this happens to be a former POTUS who is the leading candidate in the opposition party in 2024. Just for some perspective, that’s all.

 

Here's a piece from a defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who wrote about this topic as it relates to Trump and using R. Kelly and Michael Avenatti as examples of the stress of compounding indictments.

Interesting read. Thanks

 

Thank you and if this turns out to be the best examples, it confirms exactly what I suspected. R. Kelly and Avenatti crimes…..crimes that actually hurt people.
