In reply to the discussion: DOJ pushing to keep Trump from blocking release of classified docs report on immunity grounds [View all]BumRushDaShow
(146,181 posts)35. Do you remember this -
Judge says several Trump aides, including former chief of staff, must testify to Jan. 6 grand jury
^^^the above was done by Marc Elias's group "Democracy Docket" but you are more than welcome to throw them under the bus
Smith operated using the KISS principle with the assumption that "superseding indictments" could easily come to add the others.
Don't worry though... "figurehead Garland" will soon be out of your hair.
Get To Know the Six Likely Co-Conspirators in Trumps Jan. 6 Indictment
By Paige Anderholm
August 9, 2023
Former President Donald Trumps most recent indictment includes six unnamed co-conspirators, who were enlisted to assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power.
Based on the details provided in the indictment, the co-conspirators listed as attorneys are presumed to be: (1) Rudy Giuliani, (2) John Eastman, (3) Sidney Powell, (4) Jeffrey Clark and (5) Kenneth Chesebro. The sixth is more speculative than the others, but details in the indictment suggest it may be political operative Boris Epshteyn.
Experts believe that their names were kept out of last weeks indictment to avoid scheduling conflicts and time delays that come with multiple co-defendants. It also may be a tactic to encourage cooperation from the co-conspirators in exchange for avoiding their own charges. Or, it could be that special counsel Jack Smiths office believes that while they have enough evidence to prove Trump is guilty beyond reasonable doubt, they may not have evidence to sustain convictions for the other six. It is speculated that if separate indictments for the co-conspirators are to be returned, it will happen in the coming days ahead of the scheduling hearing in the case that is set for Aug. 28.

Garland should have dropped the charges on Nauta and Deoliver (or whatever this criminal's name is)

So should a Bailiff go into her Courtroom, haul her out in handcuffs, and lock her up for judicial misconduct

There is no case for immunity. He wasn't in office then. Unless they are able

Why not just give the report to President Biden and let him release it.

DOJ should just release everything now and not worry about being stopped by TCF later
