Special counsel Jack Smith has outlined new details of former President Donald Trump and his allies' sweeping and "increasingly desperate" efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, in a blockbuster court filing Wednesday aimed at defending Smith's prosecution of Trump following the Supreme Court's July immunity ruling.

Trump intentionally lied to the public, state election officials, and his own vice president in an effort to cling to power after losing the election, while privately describing some of the claims of election fraud as "crazy," prosecutors alleged in the 165-page filing.

"When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office," the filing said. "With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost."

State of play: Smith in the motion wrote that Trump's "scheme was a private criminal effort." He emphasized throughout the document that the former president was acting in his capacity as a candidate, not a president.

  • This is an apparent attempt by Smith to respond to the bombshell Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that said that presidents have immunity for "official acts."
  • "At its core, the defendant's scheme was a private one; he extensively used private actors and his Campaign infrastructure to attempt to overturn the election results and operated in a private capacity as a candidate for office," Smith wrote.
Zoom in: Smith also accused Trump of knowing "his fraud claims were false because he continued to make those claims even after his close advisors—acting not in an official capacity but in a private or campaign-related capacity—told him they were not true."

  • "At one point long after the defendant had begun spreading false fraud claims, a White House staffer traveling with [Trump], overheard him tell family members that 'it doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell,'" Smith wrote.
  • Smith also outlined numerous instances of Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence telling Trump that there was no evidence of fraud.
The special counsel wrote that "when all else had failed" for the former president in his bid to cling to power, he "directed an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification."

  • He wrote that Trump used the false claims about the election to "inflame and motivate the large and angry crowd of his supporters to march to the Capitol and disrupt the certification proceeding."

Desperation time for you guys.


 
As is the case every time, Trump cultists won't even try to address the facts.

Because they can't address the facts, and they know it.

All the Trump cultists know they're tonguebathing a traitor and criminal. They act like that because they're fascist shit humans.
