Jack Smith Submission – The Five Biggest Bombshells

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan has unsealed 165 pages of evidence against former President Donald Trump in the election fraud case. It's the first time the public will get a detailed look at special counsel Jack Smith's federal case against the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.

Trump is accused of conspiring to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; Obstructing and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against right-wingers in connection with an alleged pressure campaign on state officials to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him. The former president has repeatedly said he is the victim of a political witch hunt. He has accused Smith of trying to interfere in the 2024 presidential election by prosecuting him.

Here are the five biggest revelations from the file:

'Make them an insurrection': Trump staffer encourages riot in Detroit

On November 4, 2020, when the vote count in Detroit was not in Trump's favor, a campaign official texted a Trump agent to incite a riot among his supporters outside the counting center.

“Make them a riot,” he allegedly wrote, and “Do it!!!!”

The filing says the campaign staffer's texts were in response to the Trump staffer's warning in Detroit that the situation was reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers riot in Florida in 2000. Republican operatives in Miami-Dade County disrupted a recount of votes in the close presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

After a number of votes came in favor of Biden, the same staffer allegedly texted the Trump agent asking for “options to file litigation,” although the legal objections read “itbis,” a seemingly corrupt version of “BS “, a common abbreviation for the swear word “b******”.

Prosecutors allege that Trump agents in Philadelphia tried to use similar tactics and create confrontations at polling places and then “falsely claimed that his poll watchers were denied proper access” in order to tell his supporters that the polls were involved in fraud were involved.

Newsweek sent an email to the Trump campaign on Thursday seeking comment.

'So what?': 'Outraged' Trump didn't care when protesters hunted down Mike Pence on January 6th

The document states that Trump called then-Vice President Mike Pence on the morning of January 6, 2021 and asked him not to certify the election for Joe Biden later that day. Pence refused to do so and Trump was “infuriated,” the filing said.

As rioters later broke into the Capitol and shouted threats against Pence, Trump wrote on Twitter that his vice president “did not have the courage” to refuse to certify the election. He “attacked Pence because he refused the defendant's requests to join the conspiracy and help overturn the election results,” prosecutors allege in the document.

The tweet told Trump's “angry supporters that Pence had failed him – and them -,” it said.

Prosecutors' files say one rioter used a megaphone to read Trump's tweet to his fellow rioters.

A minute after Trump posted the tweet, Secret Service and Capitol Police took the vice president to a secure location in the Capitol.

A White House aide ran to Trump to tell the then-president that he had just received a call telling him that Pence had been taken to a safe location “in the hope that (Trump) will take action.” would to ensure Pence’s safety.”

Trump responded, “So what?” and appeared unconcerned about Pence's safety as rioters ran through the Capitol in search of the vice president.

'F****** Nuts': RNC chairwoman tells Trump his election fraud report is worthless

In mid-December 2020, Trump spoke with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and “asked her to release and promote a private report released on December 13th alleging deficiencies in the use of voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan.” should reveal”. .

She refused, telling Trump that she had already discussed the report with the speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives, “who told her the report was inaccurate.”

McDaniel relayed to Trump the Michigan speaker's “accurate assessment: The report was fucking crazy,” the filing says.

Separately, Trump continued to claim that elections in Michigan and other states were rigged in Biden's favor, the document said.

'It doesn't matter if you win or lose': Trump's pep talk to family

After the election, Trump traveled with his family in the presidential helicopter Marine One with First Lady Melania, his daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Also on board was an unnamed White House official who was assistant to the president and head of the Oval Office.

The White House official is prepared to testify that Trump told his family: “It doesn't matter whether you won or lost the election. They still have to fight like hell.”

The White House official “witnessed an unsolicited comment by the defendant to his family members in which the defendant implied that he would fight to remain in power regardless of whether he had won the election,” the document says the prosecution.

The document goes to great lengths to portray the conversation as a private conversation. That's because the entire case had to be rewritten to comply with the Supreme Court's July 1 ruling on presidential immunity, which gave Trump broad protection from prosecution for official acts.

The document claims that the conversation was “clearly private,” even though Ivanka Trump and Kushner were White House advisers at the time.

“The defendant made comments to his family members who advocated for him and acted as private advisors (in addition to their official role),” the document states.

'F*** His Lawyer': Steve Bannon rants as Mike Pence's lawyer tries to restore order

After the election, Trump and his allies tried several times to bring Pence on board with their baseless allegations of voter fraud. Pence's lawyer Greg Jacob was also “totally against us,” said a Trump aide.

When former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon heard this, he said, “Screw his lawyer,” the document says.

Bannon later refused to cooperate with the House special committee investigating attempts to overturn Biden's election victory on January 6. Bannon is currently serving a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress.
