(His capitalization, not mine.) Trump announced on “Truth Social” that he will release a report on Monday August 21st about the 2020 election that will provide “complete exoneration.” Let’s speculate on what it could contain or if he will actually even release anything. I got nuthin. I literally cannot think of anything that he could possibly release that would even hint at exoneration. ---

Word salad which he believes is irrefutable proof but, in reality, doesn’t really say anything and is incomprehensible to everyone else. Nevertheless, there will be plenty of right-wing pundits claiming, “What he meant was…” ---

Come Monday he will come up with some conspiracy “suppressing” the “REPORT”. ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > This is what my money is on, if he produces anything at all. Right now he’s got some intern cutting and pasting from every lawsuit they ever filed, without regard for the fact that they lost virtually all of those already. It will be a thousand pages long, but on even a cursory examination, it will be clear that 90+% of those pages are just the same alleged ‘facts’ repeated multiple times. That’s assuming he publishes anything at all. “Nothing at all” is certainly the way I’d bet based on his track record. ---

Just a rehash of everything he’s spouted so far. His followers, who already don’t read reports, won’t read this one either. But they’ll be convinced that it definitely exonerates Trump. ---

No, no. It’s legit. It’s just that “his attorneys won’t let him release it.” ---

On Monday he’ll announce the release of the report in two weeks. Or that the Deep State wont let him release the report. Truthfully, I think it will contain all the same “evidence” that has already been debunked or rejected by the courts, as if it’s “news”. ---

Hey ChatGPT, write me 5 pages of political conspiracy to explain why Trump lost the election. ( I couldn’t bring myself to ask for 500) > [@ChatGPT](#): > > I’m here to provide accurate and balanced information. It’s important to note that as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were no substantial, credible allegations or evidence of widespread election fraud that would have influenced the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. The election was certified by state and federal authorities, and numerous legal challenges brought forward by the Trump campaign were largely dismissed due to lack of evidence. > > Conspiracy theories can spread misinformation and undermine democratic processes.

Since this is P&E I’ll tamp down my desire to merely insult Trump, but I see three options, several of which have been brought up before. 1. Nothing, with any of the excuses above “lawyers won’t let me, can’t release due to conspiracy, need to save it for the trial” 2. A re-release of the greatest hits of all the prior options, possibly throwing some prior attorney/politician under the bus for “not being able to make such a perfect case” go through. 3. The nasty option, # 2 but blaming the failures on all the opposing judges / lawyers / politicians that are on the other side / his enemies for not letting him submit utterly unsupported hearsay or forcing through his interpretations. In other words, painting big fat targets on them, and hoping to direct his mob at them. And if FSM forbid, one or more of them does get attacked, will suggest, just barely on the side of deniability, wouldn’t it be a shame if the current crop of ‘enemies’ find the same happens to them. ---

I just assumed (that everyone else assumed) that nothing would ever become of it. To the point that I was surprised there was even a thread about it. Having said that, if he shows us anything, my guess is that it’ll be a blank (or unrelated) papers with promises of seeing the rest in a few weeks. ---
