I mentioned this in terms of Pillow Guy’s latest symposium, but I bet a number of lawyers are hoping he releases anything tangible, to be used as further evidence that he’s continuing his defamation / efforts to overturn election / otherwise further incriminate himself.

And if so (still leaning towards it being the usual nothingburger though) I also foresee more current/soon-to-be-former Trump lawyers needing lawyers of their own.

An aside. Trump says he did nothing wrong. Let’s agree as a people to move on.

There must be some other scapegoat available? That coulda been anyone on the phone. Just exactly where were:

1. The usual suspects?

2. The Beagle Boys?

3. The Cavity Creeps?

Yeah, I’m gonna go with debunked theories too.

All part of the plan. Large detailed and irrefutable report can’t be shared with the good people of America (and the far left communist riggers) because of witch hunt.

Well, I’ll go with it’ll be cancelled, but I was going to suggest that he and his icky supporters might show a few people being charged with voter wrongdoing, omit the fact that they actually voted for him in their criminal act, and then suggest there are “millions” more in the stack of (blank) documents behind him.

I don’t know. I’m thinking, “Trump has to do _something_…” Every lawyer he has is likely telling him he’s fucked, so he knows just keeping quiet and going to court is going to end up with him convicted. So he has to do something else if he’s got any chance of getting away with this.

And “Publicly spreading enough bullshit to confuse his opposition and rally his base” is pretty much his superpower. So he’s going to want to have this press conference, lawyers be damned. As far as he’s concerned, he alone can save himself.

It’s hard to get even 5 pages out of it. ChatGPT’s output tends to cap out at around 750 words. Sometimes it will produce a lot more but I can’t get it do that very often. Anyway, you have to try harder to get out of ChatGPT’s guardrails:

I will watch Trump make a fool of himself again. Maybe he will do it at the Four Seasons (landscaping company).

Narcissist that he is, he will say that I couldn’t have lost. Everyone loves me. That’s the evidence, plus a bunch of folders with blank paper.

Unless this much ballyhooed REPORT contains details of exactly how he alone can save America, and all it turns out to be is yet another rehashing of how he believes that the election was stolen thanks to Dem cheating, then he’s wasting everybody’s time.

Has anybody ever suggested to him that he’s complaining about an event that happened in the past, that nothing is going to change nearly three years later, and if he wants to be president after the next election, he’d better look ahead, not backwards.

Because other Republican candidates will do that. No US President has even been elected on what happened four years prior; they get elected on what they’re going to do in the four years that lie ahead.

Yeah, that’s pretty much all he can talk about- the 2020 election. Nobody else has ever campaigned on the previous election. The only ones that care about it are the MAGA types, for everyone else it’s what is the vision going forward.
