Special counsel Jack Smith this week will be allowed to file hundreds of pages of legal arguments and evidence gathered in the 2020 election subversion and January 6 US Capitol attack criminal case against former President Donald Trump, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

"The brief due Thursday (9/26) – which is expected to exceed 200 pages, including exhibits, and is meant to convince courts Trump should be prosecuted for alleged obstruction and conspiracy criminal activity — is a rare avenue for evidence to be aired in court before a trial.

Chutkan of the DC District Court, in a six-page opinion, said she would allow such an outsized briefing because the Supreme Court, in its recent decision to give Trump’s actions while president immunity from prosecution, has directed her as the trial judge to look closely at facts in the case to decide if some allegations could move forward to trial."

    Especially this close to the election. Even if he is proven guilty in a cri.final court with overwhelming evidence, to convict him before the election would cause gun-toting riots. He would need to be replaced with only a few months to spare, and a more neutral candidate would be called in who might actually win the election, and still follow through with all the project 2025 insanity.

    He’s already immune, unless this case takes a few more months to sort out…
