BREAKING: In a shocking moment, #Trump said he'll consider pardons for the men convicted of #conspiring to kidnap Gov. #GretchenWhitmer, calling their conviction a "railroad job," and the men said some "stupid things."
Kidnapping: now locker room behavior.
weeks after #GretchenWhitmer took part in multiple photo ops with #Trump, Trump says he's "looking at" pardoning men who were convicted of #conspiring to kidnap her
3 counts excised from #Trumptarded #ElectionInterference case in #FultonCounty #Georgia against disgraced #MAGA lawyer laureate #JohnEastman formerly of #ChapmanUniversity.
Counts 14, 15 and 27 of the indictment to engage in “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy” would “interfere with the District Court’s ability” to apply justice to potentially falsified documents by “imposing a state sanction when a federal sanction is already in place.”
Six other counts were previously excised, leaving only 6 #felony charges pending against Eastman, including a #RICO charge, conspiracy to commit #forgery, two counts for conspiring to provide false statements, solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, and #conspiring to impersonate a public officer etc.
In #NewYork, falsifying records is a #misdemeanor, unless the documents were faked to HIDE ANOTHER CRIME. The other crime, prosecutors say (they also presented evidence of other #crimes), was Trump’s 2016 violation of state #ElectionLaw that prohibited #conspiring to aid a #political campaign using “#UnlawfulMeans.”

If he abides by the terms of #probation, the charge will be expunged from his #record under the first-offender terms of the deal. In addition, the #plea describes the #crime to which #Chesebro pleaded #guilty — #conspiring to file false documents — as not being one of “moral turpitude.” That could enable him to resume practicing #law.
(I beg to differ. Step up #ABA)

#Chesebro, a former #lawyer for Donald #Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to #illegally #conspiring to overturn #Trump’s #2020election loss in #Georgia. The #plea came in just hours after #jury selection began in the highly anticipated case, ahead of an expected #trial next month.
Chesebro pleaded #guilty to a single #felony count of #conspiracy to file false documents, & faces a #prison sentence of 1 – 5 yrs. He also agreed to #truthfully #testify in the case against others.
Feds are accusing #EmmittMartin, #TadarriusBean, #DemetriusHaley, #DesmondMills & #JustinSmith of using #ExcessiveForce & violating #TyreNichols’s #Rights, as well as #conspiring to make #FalseStatements to supervisors while reporting the incidents & #ObstructingJustice during subsequent investigations.
In a filing last wk, #JackSmith's team requested that jury selection begin Dec & that the #trial start… on Jan 2, 2024. That date, per Snr Asst #SpecialCounsel Molly Gaston, "would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a #SpeedyTrial—…guaranteed by the #Constitution & fed #law…, but of particular significance here, where the defendant… is charged w/ #conspiring to overturn the legit results of the 2020election, #obstruct the certification of the election, & discount citizens’ legit votes."

The US judge overseeing #Trump’s prosecution for allegedly #criminally #conspiring to overturn Biden’s election victory said while TFG has #FirstAmendment rights to #FreeSpeech, those #rights are not absolute & must be weighed against protecting the #integrity of the #CourtProcess, regardless of his status as a #political #candidate.
The prosecutors overseeing the #indictment of #Trump on charges of #conspiring to overturn the #2020election asked….
In a motion filed to #JudgeChutkan, who is presiding over the case in Federal District #Court in DC, the prosecutors laid out an ambitious timetable, saying they were ready not only to go to trial on Jan. 2, 2024, but were also poised to give #Trump’s #lawyers the bulk of their #discovery #evidence in ~the next 2 wks.
