    Trump says he can't remember that he said he has the world's best memory.

    Trump attorney Jenna Ellis appears to be one of the unnamed defendants in the AZ criminal case.

    Her name will probably be released after she has been served the indictment.

    Ellis was indicted in the GA election subversion case and pleaded guilty while crying in court.

    Now it looks like she will have to do her crying act again.

    Finchem lost his bid in the U.S. Supreme Court this week that claimed voting machines in AZ were corrupt.

    Finchem was indicted this week in AZ in the election subversion case along with 17 other people.

    Finchem is a hardcore election truther who was on the grounds illegally at the Jan. 6 riot.

    Finchem ran for secretary of state of AZ after the riot and lost.

    So much winning.

    It's questionable whether the GOP in the Senate would convict Trump if he had a political rival assassinated.

    Trump knowingly put his VP, Pence, in a position where he could have been assassinated at the Capitol riot. The GOP knows this and yet still coddles and defends Trump.

    Relying on the U.S. Senate to convict Trump as a prerequisite for having him face a possible criminal trial after leaving office isn't viable in the current era of politics.

    According to Trump and his lawyers, removal from office is moot anyway because he has 'absolute immunity'.

    It sounds similar to Cohen paying Stormy Daniels hush money and Trump later reimbursing Cohen in the guise of consulting fees.


    New Complaint Alleges Trump Campaign Hid Millions in Lawyer Payments

    excerpt:

    "According to the complaint, FEC filings show that Red Curve “routinely advanced money or paid for the cost of legal services provided by other vendors, for which Red Curve was reimbursed.”

    The fact that the committees and the company—which specializes in campaign finance reporting services—did not properly itemize these reimbursements “undermines the bedrock transparency” of public disclosure laws, the complaint says."

    Trump is concerned about RFK Jr. taking votes away from him.

    RFK Jr. hit back at what he referred to as Trump's barely coherent rant.


    RFK Jr. hits back after Trump’s ‘barely coherent’ rant | The Hill

    excerpt:

    “When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Kennedy said Saturday in a social media post on X. “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.”

    RFK Jr. can debate Trump at the criminal court where Trump's trial is being held.

    Trump has already invited Biden to debate him at the criminal court.

    Trump at a respectful, congenial debate?

    RFK Jr. seems to have been living under a rock for the past nine years.

    Someone give him the World Series scores for the past nine years.

    This is why people have failed at trying to debate Trump or reason with him. He doesn't abide by the rules or laws. In such a situation, the opponent either loses or, at best, achieves a stalemate (like Brett Baier of Fox who managed to achieve a tie with Trump when interviewing him and constantly countering all of Trump's lies and diversions).

    RFK Jr. is out of touch with reality.

    Trump 'wins' debates by violating the rules.

    He was so incessant about it that the presidential debate committee made a rule that his microphone had to be shut off in the 2020 presidential debates when it wasn't his turn because he continually talked over Biden.

    Sullivan is known as Jayden X on YouTube

    In his video taken through the window of the blockaded door of the Speakers Lobby, the gun of the Capitol Police officer can be easily seen and being aimed toward Babbitt as she was climbing through a broken-out window.

    excerpt:

    "Some critics said the conservative justices — all of whom purport to adhere to an original understanding of the Constitution — appeared to be on the verge of fashioning a legal protection for former presidents based on the justices’ subjective assessment of what’s best for the country and not derived from the nation’s founding document."

    The U.S. has been through 46 presidents who weren't crippled by the possibility of being charged criminally.

    Yet the Supreme Court seems to be entertaining the idea of providing Trump with such a protection, or giving an opinion to the lower courts to come up with a remedy.

    Trump already received such help from the Supreme Court when it ruled he was allowed to remain on the state ballots in spite of the 14th Amendment saying he was disqualified.

    It was a ruling based on the Supreme Court's perceived consequences if it didn't rule in such a manner, as opposed to actually ruling on what the text of the Constitution and other laws like the 14th Amendment say.

    The Supreme Court left the issue up to Congress that will supposedly work out of legislative solution to the ballot eligibility issue later.

    It's a murky road to go down: rule now but justify later, such as by telling Congress to address the issue later to conform to what the Supreme Court thinks is correct right now (such as modifying the 14th Amendment or formulating some other type of Congressional act that supposedly modifies it or supplants it).

    excerpt:

    “The framers did not put an immunity clause into the Constitution. They knew how to. There were immunity clauses in some state constitutions. They knew how to give legislative immunity. They didn’t provide immunity to the president,” said Kagan, an appointee of President Barack Obama. “And, you know, not so surprising. They were reacting against a monarch who claimed to be above the law.”

    The best argument Trump's attorney made in front of the Supreme Court last week was that Article II of the Constitution gives the president with the power to carry out the legislation of Congress.

    Trump's attorney gave no evidence whatsoever that this somehow provides a president with absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.

    Trump's attorney seemed to be implying that the ability of a president to implement the legislation of Congress somehow requires him to have absolute immunity.
