Botany's JournalWashingon Post: The indictment argues that Trump knew the 'big lie' was a lie
Trump “repeated his knowingly false claim” on Jan. 6 itself.
“The Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won,” the indictment says. “These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false.”
Smith cites examples — many previously known — of those around Trump directly informing him that his claims were false and his schemes dubious. They included Vice President Mike Pence, top Justice Department officials, top White House attorneys and campaign staff members, key state legislators and officials, and state and federal courts.
The indictment cites examples of Trump’s being informed that specific claims were false and then proceeding to lodge them anyway. Smith makes a point of isolating a single claim from each of five key states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — each time punctuating the example by saying that Trump “repeated his knowingly false claim” on Jan. 6 itself.

* It lists six unnamed co-conspirators who have not been charged. [Please let Bannon and Stone be charged]
* The case argues that the conspirators worked to create the illusion of uncertainty
* The reaction from Republicans to the case was muted
Happy Thought
When Trump is arrested very soon for the shit he pulled
in Georgia he will be fingerprinted, his mug shot will be
taken, and he will be treated just like any other crook that
is in "the system."
Btw Joe Biden is doing a great job.
Was it all P-Funk, George Clinton, and the Mothership's fault?
As early as mid-November, for instance, the Senior Campaign Advisor had informed the Defendant that his claims of a large number of dead voters in Georgia were untrue. With respect to the persistent false claim regarding State Farm Arena, on December 8, the Senior Campaign Advisor wrote in an email, "When our research and campaign legal team can't back up any of the claims made by our Elite Strike Force Legal Team, you can see why we're 0-32 on our cases. I'll obviously hustle to help on all fronts, but it's tough to own any of this when it's all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership."

The judge assigned to Trump's Jan. 6 case is a tough punisher of Capitol rioters
Source: ABC
WASHINGTON -- The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack fueled by Trump's baseless claims of a stolen election. She has also ruled against him before.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama, will oversee the case accusing Trump of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the two months leading up to the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
Chutkan has often has handed down prison sentences in Jan. 6, 2021, riot cases that are harsher than Justice Department prosecutors recommended.

She rejected his arguments that he could hold privilege over documents from his administration even after President Joe Biden had cleared the way for the National Archives to turn the papers over. She wrote that Trump could not claim his privilege “exists in perpetuity.”

FYI
Trump’s first appearance on Thursday will be before a magistrate judge, not Judge Chutkan.
That was quick ... so much for Trump's bid to get Fani Willis pulled from the case.
"Judge overseeing the Fulton County special grand jury has *rejected* Donald Trump's bid to
quash the special grand jury's report, to disqualify DA Fani Willis and prevent further prosecution."

FAFO. 
Trump and his attorneys filled a motion Friday afternoon to have Fani Willis removed from the
case against him in Fulton County Friday Afternoon and 1st thing Monday morning the judge
says "no."

You think all three of them want to go to prison to protect Trump?
Never forget that Mitch is a real shit. He knew all about Trump and Russia in '16, he was a key ...
.... player in the packing of the SCOTUS, he blocked the senate from seeing the evidence and from
hearing Trump's phone call where he tried to extort Zelenskyy into making up shit on the Bidens
(Impeachment #1), and he is proud racist. And knowing that he is in bad health worked with the
GOP's powers that be in KY and changed KY's State Constitution so his replacement would not be
picked by KY's Governor.
The dam that has helped to protect Donny from being held accountable for his crimes is breaking

Washington — Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has turned over thousands of pages of records to special counsel Jack Smith as part of the federal investigation into efforts to stop the transfer of presidential power after the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.
The documents were submitted to Smith on Sunday. A source close to Kerik's legal team said they believe the records, which include sworn affidavits from people raising concerns about the integrity of the 2020 presidential contest, show there was a genuine effort to investigate claims of voter fraud in the last election.

Rudy Giuliani Admits False Statements About Georgia Election Workers
Former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has admitted to making false statements regarding election workers the former president claimed had tampered with ballots in the 2020 presidential election count in Georgia.
snip
Giuliani did not contest that "to the extent that the statements were statements of fact and otherwise actionable, such actionable factual statements were false."
The statement by the Republican lawyer came as part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, who alleged that they had faced harassment after Giuliani and Trump claimed they had counted extra votes.
