Summary
A U.S. appeals court ruled that the Justice Department can release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
While a Judge Aileen Cannon’s temporary block remains in effect for three more days, the decision paves the way for the report’s release as early as next week.
The report will focus on the 2020 election probe, as the classified documents portion remains restricted to Congress due to ongoing legal cases.
Trump denies wrongdoing, calling the investigations politically motivated.
Now our corrupt Supreme Court can block it for Daddy Trump.
NewsFlash: We live in an oligarchy and pretty soon we won’t be any better than Russia.
Trump denies wrongdoing, calling the investigations politically motivated.
Third most used sentence in English language media after “Who wore it best?” and “But do you condemn Hamas?” 😮💨
The mishandling of classified material is the one that needs to be released. This is all a big joke.
What you mean: I want to see the statements and actions surrounding the mishandling of classified documents
What the US gov will release: a bunch of black bars in a PDF
lol, even if the investigation is politically motivated, the findings might - and probably will - be quite objectively illegal, traitorous, immoral, etc
I just wonder if there will be anything that we didn’t already know. I feel like we are so desensitized to Trump’s bullshit that nothing will make a difference.
In a court filing a while back, Smith said he was ready to prove the motive behind why Trump took the documents, which is the one big question that remained unanswered. I really hope that’s included. There are lots of possible motivations, and I honestly never thought we’d find out. We probably still won’t, but there’s plenty of other new information this report could give us.
The classified case is still stuck in congress. I suspect that will never see the light of day.
Yeah, the pedophile rapist treasonous lying coward convicted felon did this other bad stuff…yawn…zzzzzzz
<crickets>
MAGA!
So now it goes to the Supreme Court?
Someone tell me if I have it wrong buti think normally they wouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing, but since it’s Daddy Trump they might.
They declined to hear it.
And what nobody is talking about is how during the chaos he caused in 2020, they got their hands on I believe more than one voting machine. More importantly, they got access to the backend software that runs that shit. And four years is plenty of time to devise malware to actually flip votes.
Didn’t fucking matter who the Dems ran; this election was stolen right in front of everyone’s faces. 😔🤮🤬
That’s really not as big a deal as it sounds.
The security of voting machines has been an issue for as long as they’ve been around. Bev Harris and BlackBoxVoting made a big deal about this 20 years ago, with a number of demonstrated exploits. A security model would be absolutely insane to rely on keeping all units out of the hands of bad actors. Besides, every polling location has multiple volunteers that will put hands on identical models, every single election.
Any of them could be lackeys, including locations where ALL of them are lackeys. There’s remarkable little verification of loyalties. In Ohio, I could be “The Republican” for any/all actions requiring a member of both parties. The only thing I had to do (and the only thing I did) to get this designation was vote in the Republican primary. It’s also true in reverse. Any of them could’ve easily gotten access to any of the software.
Most states have a verification process to ensure the machines function as expected, with a security and audit process around it. This usually includes running a fake election first, multiple times, and in a way that the machine cannot tell whether it’s the real election or not.
Besides, Occam’s Razor applies. It’s not like the entire country was thrilled to be rid of him. Most polls put them in a dead heat. Then the results came in, and he outperformed his polls for the third time in a row. But he outperformed at a lower rate than both previous campaigns. Him winning wasn’t exactly a surprise that no one saw coming.
The bullet ballots thing is interesting, but far from (pardon the pun) a smoking gun.
If you don’t think enough people drank the Kool aid to elect Trump, you are not living in reality…
We can’t stick our heads in the sand and cry foul and expect anything to change…
Until you have concrete evidence, speculating like this in public lowers you to the same level as Trump’s supporters when they were claiming the previous election was stolen.

an ad hominem attack would be “nobody should listen to you because you’re a fucking idiot”, not “doing this thing idiots do might make you look similar to them”
i follow a lot of cybersecurity news, and indie gorilla journalists but I haven’t heard of this white hat group. what is their name?
That white hat group doesn’t have any concrete evidence, either, only speculation.
