"The filing also described Trump's public statements as calculated moves to provoke anger among his supporters, even as his advisers discredited his claims of voter fraud.

According to prosecutors, Trump privately dismissed his lawyer Sidney Powell's fraud claims as "crazy," while continuing to use similar rhetoric in public.

Prosecutors allege that Trump "laid the groundwork for his crimes well before" Election Day, including by promoting doubt in the electoral process and planning to declare victory immediately.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has overseen the case, recently addressed Trump's defense team's claims of partisan bias.

"Defendant's opposition brief repeatedly accuses the government of bad-faith partisan bias," Chutkan wrote. "These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand."

"Trump tells judge that special counsel evidence in January 6 probe shouldn't be released during election"

"Trump faces four felony charges in federal court for trying to overturn the election, one of four criminal cases that have been brought against the ex-president.

Prosecutors accuse Trump of committing conspiracy to defraud, obstruction and conspiracy against rights in his scheme to overturn the 2020 election, which included efforts to pressure state officials and lawmakers to reject the results, pressuring Pence to block the results from being certified and orchestrating a "fake elector" scheme in which GOP officials submitted false slates of electors to Congress."

Chutkan granted Smith's motion to post redacted versions of the exhibits, something that could include grand jury transcripts, texts and other evidence assembled by prosecutors.

"The court determines that the Government's proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate, and that Defendant's blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, Defendant's concern with the political consequences of these proceedings' is not a cognizable legal prejudice,'" she wrote."

- You leave out the salient part,

Well, thanks for being someone who thinks I don't post enough text from articles!

I sincerely appreciate that.

But you are right of course... were Trump actually even a minimally competent person he wouldn't be such a big time Lewzer.

Et al's #8 was supposed to be a NW flag.

Someone messed up... maybe the DR hamster. Could of been me.
