Special Counsel Jack Smith is now attempting to provide evidence against former President Donald Trump that is not even mentioned in the indictment.
Trump was charged in September with four counts in Smith’s J6 case in DC consisting of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. All BS.
Smith requested that Judge Tanya Chutkan let his prosecutors inform DC jurors about Trump’s previous election statements.
Prosecutors claimed Trump’s prior free speech-protected claims under the First Amendment that the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections were rigged were part of a pattern that led to an attempt to ‘overturn’ the 2020 election.
Nonsense. What led to Trump’s efforts to resolve the 2020 election was when he pointed out it was stolen by the Democrats. Helen Keller could see that. There were too many irregularities involved to think otherwise.
The special counsel’s prosecutor in a 9-page document., “They demonstrate the defendant’s common plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like.” Smith is grabbing at straws and this supposed new evidence was not listed in the charging document.

Prosecutors for Jack Smith also intend to convince jurors that Trump’s words defending detained J6 protestors and promising to pardon them are evidence that he incited a riot.
“This evidence shows that the rioters’ disruption of the certification proceeding is exactly what the defendant intended on January 6,” Jack Smith’s prosecutor wrote.
Special counsel Jack Smith wants a jury in Washington, D.C., to hear about how Donald Trump tried to cast doubt on the two presidential elections that came before his failed 2020 campaign.
According to the special counsel’s office, Trump’s previous efforts to persuade people that the 2012 and 2016 elections were rigged laid the groundwork for a criminal campaign to overturn the 2020 election after he lost the election.
Smith wants U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to let him add information that isn’t directly charged in the criminal accusation but could help the jury decide how serious the crimes are. These details, which are called 404(b) evidence, are often used in criminal cases to help juries figure out the defendant’s goal or motivation based on “bad acts” that have not been charged. Smith thinks that the evidence will help the jury figure out what Trump was trying to do in the crazy weeks before the attack on the Capitol on January 6, when he tried to mess up the election.
