Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a “conclusive report” proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to “a complete exoneration” of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Donald Trump on Monday for working to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted him on federal charges for his efforts to subvert the democratic process nationwide.
It all seems pretty damning, but the wily former president has an ace up his sleeve: He’s going to simply prove the election was rigged and convince Willis and Smith to drop the charges.
“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social.
The post came hours after Trump railed late at night against “an out of control and very corrupt” Willis.
Willis didn’t indict Trump two-and-a-half years ago because an investigation this sprawling takes a long time to actually complete.
It must take just as long to complete such a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT,” one that must be chock-full of new information all of the other investigative bodies who worked to uncover proof of fraud were unable to obtain.
Now what would be super interesting is if the Georgia Court doesn’t grant him bail on Friday. That would throw a bit of a wrench in his plans to be somewhere on Monday. Near-zero chance of that happening, but it’s the only way to keep him from intentionally trying to taint the jury pool.
Deadline is Friday the 25th, so he has 4 days after his announcement until the surrender deadline.
Oh, thanks for the correction. I misunderstood which Friday it was. Almost two weeks to surrender seems generous.
Well, it IS for 19 people… not just Trump.

Whoa woah waoh! Too much logic in that question for any serious Don Con supporter!
I’m willing to bet money the only reason he is doing this is because the judge told him to make his defense in court, not social media.

We’re literally watching a civil war / military takeover in realtime getting set.
No way. The American brass (i.e., military leadership) is well aware of these games and can see right through them. They’re not going to move against Biden, certainly not for Trump.
If this becomes a civil war, it will end very very quickly. I guarantee the National Guard, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland, and the collective US armed forces have made to plans for the coming weeks/months and are paying very close attention.
My concern is that your general army grunt is not a great thinker and tends to be quite pro-Trump to begin with. How are they going to act if they think that they have been asked to oppress him?
This is why right wing ideology needs to be targeted as soon as it appears because it’s like a disease that infects weak-minded people.
Think about the capital riots and how some of the police officers were accused of basically letting the rioters in…
Based on my experience with the navy, it seemed like all the lowest rungs of the ladder are 18 year olds who barely care about their own jobs, let alone politics. You’d see fox news in the chiefs mess but surprisingly little demagoguery below e-3.
I think this article would be a good read: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/11/05/what-happened-members-of-military-accused-of-storming-capitol-january-6.html
I guess what I’ll say is, that’s a valid concern, but they’ve been working on it. Keep in mind, there may have been a lot of folks compelled to go, but there were a lot more that had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Kind of related, there may have been police there, but police officers as a whole have gotten the job done investigating and processing Trump.
The Georgia case hasn’t even been turned over to a judge yet, forget about a trial.
The 8/25 deadline is for the defendants to be turned over for arrest and arraignment. That’s when he’ll get a judge and we’ll learn next steps.
Willis wants a trial within 6 months, so before 2/15/2024.
Put it to you this way… In the U.S., there are a lot more real gun carrying patriots than the trash that follows Trumpism. That shit would be squashed quickly if things broke out. Also, most of those people are old and fat. They make for easy targets. I’m not worried.
Where’ve you been hiding that Kraken, Donnie boy?
Might have left it in his depends.
I could hold a press conference about how the world is flat and not round but that will not make it so. Trump is such a fucking moron. Even his Wharton professors thought so.
Holy shit he actually said “the report will come out next week”. Like his healthcare solution. Or his infrastructure plan. It’s all coming out next week.
Also his plan for defeating Isis.
Or his “stolen election” claims leading up to Jan 6th. People forget. But the whole thing was initially advertised as a reveal of damning proof.
Well, we sure did get a lot of damning proof that day… 
The kraken, was it?
Wow, I completely forgot that they gave it a name.
The whole next week/two weeks thing is such a meme. Have a video.
“I totally did my report but Rudy ate it.”
Don’t forget his fucking tax returns too
Or the release of his taxes. My bad that also never happened.
Time is a flat circle
All this has happened before. All this will happen again.

The ramblings of a traitor was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Crime. But is was a beginning.

Just make sure the location is appropriate. Pro tips, avoid a place with ‘landscaping’ name on it.
He’s had 3 years and only threatens to show his hand weeks before receiving what could be a life sentence for himself?
It’s a ploy, he wants to get censured so he can claim the evil libs won’t let him share the truth, so his base is riled up enough to act again.
Smart Trump: 40,000,000,000
Stupid Biden: 0
So you see, the evidence is quite conclusive.
Amazing how he “suddenly” has proof of the fraud that could have made him President.
He… lost it until now?
Did he finally find it while looking for more TOP SECRET documents in a box in another bathroom?
He will literally open his mouth, commit more crimes, and be in more trouble. I hope he gets himself jailed!Drinking Game: Every time he says “perfect phone call” you drink a shot.
He’s also going to show us Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary’s buttery males
Drinking Game: Every time he says “perfect phone call” you drink a shot.
I believe that coercing people to die from alcohol poisoning is a criminal offense.
You could always do beer shots = less alcohol poisoning. How many shots in a keg???
And… Alcohol poisoning.
Hey trump, why not give your “proof” to a court of law? Where it might actually be useful?? I mean what good is it showing your evidence to faux “news” viewers?? What are they gonna do, they cant get your out of an indictment.
Oh boy I can’t wait to hear conclusive truths from possibly the biggest liar in history.
press conference
So, free publicity for his campaign I guess?
It’d be great if little to nobody showed up. Any serious reporter wouldn’t want to go. Can you imagine how much drivel is gonna spew out at that event? It’s a better venue for a comedian or comic reporter like Jordan Klepper as long as Klepper could ask pertinent questions. Remember, Orange Con Don didn’t like doing press conferences as prez and he rarely answered questions. Answering those questions is hard you know. You just gotta change the subject and ramble long enough that his supporters don’t even know what’s being talked about anymore. Anyway, he’s got snacks to eat and TV to watch. You know, stuff like OAN and Playboy.
What a fucking idiot.
What, now?
Just.don’t.go.
Watch the fun.
Isn’t doubling down on this with the indictment in hand especially stupid? Surely opening him to further charges?
Absolutely. Stupid is as stupid does. The narcissist can’t help himself, especially after drowning in his own Kool-aid. Hopefully the judge will revoke his bail and incarcerate him until trial, you know, like how any other defendant would be. Please! Prove to us that there’s no separate treatment for the rich, even an ex-president! This is what we need!
Not further charges but it can be referenced to furthering the conspiracy for the RICO charges. Overall that is a hard case to figure out though.
RICO charges in Georgia are far easier to prove than federal RICO charges.
Sure, but first amendment issues and generally proving something is not sincerely held seems difficult to me. The former is something appeals courts will decide while the latter is something a jury will decide.
“First Amendment issues” is a non starter and a Trump lawyer talking point. As Judge Chutkan so aptly said, “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute.” There are lots of kinds of speech which are illegal all by themselves. With respect to a RICO case, when acts of speech are “overt actions in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy,” even otherwise benign speech can be illegal. Conspiring to commit a crime, and taking overt action to further that conspiracy, is a crime all by itself, even if the crime being conspired does not come to fruition.
Whether or not the conspirators’ “sincerely held belief” was that “the election was stolen” is irrelevant. If that is what you sincerely believe, there are already legal procedures to deal with that; take your case(s) to court. Which the Trump team did, with zero success. Just because you don’t like the outcome does not make doing an end run around the law and conspiring to change election outcomes in illegal ways “suddenly legal.”
And what, exactly, has he faced in terms of consequences for anything during his 77 years on this rock? There is pretty much zero chance he sees any jail time and he’s well aware of this. So what has he got to loose? Might as well stir up shit in prep for a Jan 6 v2 in 2025.

Thankfully I don’t think the stupid windbag has another 15 years in him.

Well Desantis kind of blew his shot at the brass ring by biting the Mouse that feeds, but I get what you mean - there are certainly smarter people who are paying attention to the political zeitgeist who can ride that populism and know how to seize the levers of power with it. In particular I’m worried about a police force that leans rightwing and has been getting drip fed the runoff from the MIC for the last several decades.
This is me tinfoil hatting here, but I think part of the reason that the old guard republicans fall in line with the new alt-righters so easily is because they both know about all the shit that goes on behind closed doors and that if one sinks, they all go down. People easily forget that way back during the 2016 elections, Russia got into the RNC servers right alongside the DNC and while everyone was yelling about the DNC leaked files, suddenly lots of Republicans were loathe to talk about Donald’s blatant ties and they all got right behind him as the nominee. The eight Republican senators’ visit in 2018, on the 4th of July no less, to Kremlin officials to “foster relations with the Russian government” when the investigation into Russian interference was in full swing. The fact that alt-right Congressmen led a tour of government buildings days before Jan 6. And they all tried to downplay just how fucking close we came to a successful coup. Had Pence gotten in that car and left the building, I think the experiment would have been over, and the only reason he didn’t was probably because he thought he was going to get Epstein’d - I don’t care what he says about Trump now, they were chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’ outside and he was shitting himself, and he knows how quickly they’ll eat their own. All the driver would have had to do would be to drive towards the crowd and unlock the doors. I don’t believe for a second he’s got America’s best interests at heart. But his fear nonetheless kept the transfer of power intact, even if now we can no longer count on it being peaceful.
He’s already set up his base to think the charges are fraudulent. Any additional charges will just compound their irrational beliefs.
Someone bet him he couldn’t get to 100 indictments by Wednesday, and he said, “hold my diet Coke!”
I don’t see how this isn’t a brazen attempt to taint the jury pool. If he has evidence exonerating him he just needs to present it in court.
It’s like every time Trump opens his mouth, he shows us his taint…
I don’t think he knows what next week means.
Yep. It’s stupid shit like this that got him indicted in the first place.
“I’d love to show you the report, it’s beautiful, and perfect, and it shows in so many ways how I’m innocent of all charges. My lawyers wept when they, true story! My lawyers were VISIBLY WEEPING as they read it. VISIBLY! But now, on the advice of those lawyers, I can’t release it to you. I CAN’T! I want to, but I can’t. They tell me it would tell these evil, nasty, prosecutors too much about our defense, so, you know, we can’t have that.”
