Trump says it was 'my decision' to try to overturn 2020 election results | CNN Politics

www.cnn.com Trump says it was 'my decision' to try to overturn 2020 election results | CNN Politics

Former President Donald Trump said in an interview that he received counsel from numerous people shortly after the 2020 election but that it was his decision to push the false claim he won the election and try to overturn the results.

There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

Haven't we been hearing for weeks that he was planning an "advice of counsel" defense in his criminal trials?
Fani Willis and Jack Smith will welcome this admission - and doubtless make use of it in court.
The screams you hear are emanating from his current group of lawyers, tearing their hair out and rending their garments as they are forced once more to scramble to try to do damage control in coming up with a legal strategy - and fearing for the future of their own law licenses.
- I might be giving him too much credibility because it's not like Trump is a fine strategist or anything, but at this point I think he knows he's fucked in court anyway. He already lost this battle so to speak, so I doubt he'll make any sort of effort to help his own case. He'll do what he does best and stir up shit as fast as possible, making the biggest circus imaginable with whatever he can, and insulting the judges and admitting to his crimes is definitely a signature wtf play of his. Another angle is that the case is lost, he knows, and Trump never admit defeat, he'll just double down and pretend it's not a crime because he did it on purpose.
- Surely at this point there aren't really any expectations of Trump's lawyers. They just have to file documents for him and tell him when to show up where. Then after a few weeks you just tag out.
- The corrupt GA GOP are going to remove Fani Willis. They've invented a committee specifically to do just that.
  Jack Smith isn't going to be able to do any lasting damage. Everything about Trump is already known, and Trump's racist jug-hooting base is sticking with him. Findings in a trial will be meaningless for them.
  Unless he actually gets sentenced to real prison - which he won't - nothing about this matters.
  
  Your wish casting is kind of pathetic
  
  What am I wishing for?
