JONATHAN TURLEY: No. It's really approaching the urban legend status. Because he's not charged with incitement. He's not charged with insurrection. He's not charged with seditious conspiracy. He's not charged with all of those things the Democrats impeached him on the second time.
So they're really bigfooting the Constitution here. It's not there.
But the question is what is here? I have to tell you, this is thin soup in my view. They have a colossal Constitutional problem that they will have to overcome from the outset. They have to establish all of these lynchpins, that he not only believed the truth of the matter, that he understood he was lying, but then he played a criminal role in getting these other individuals to take the steps mentioned in the indictment. That is a very difficult case to prove.
I think part of the dynamic that we're seeing is that you can't just pursue a president from pillar to post across the country without people beginning to tune out.
This day would be called a life-changing experience for most people. For Donald Trump, it's called Thursday.
He is -- this is his third indictment. He's going to likely get a fourth indictment. And the real jury is likely the one that will be voting in 2024. I think we're already seeing how this is impacting them. I have to tell you, in this case, I should think that Trump would welcome aspects of this case. Precisely because of that issue, and also because he has these threshold legal questions that he should be able to get to the appellate courts fairly quickly.
So, Smith has to be careful what he's asking for. The Trump team might give it to him. It's unlikely he will get a trial put in front of the Florida trial, but they could help him out in moving these issues to the appellate court and asking them, is this the criminalization of disinformation? Are you about to criminalize false political speech?
Because in the past, the Supreme Court has been extremely skeptical of laws that attempt to do that.

Lorrie Vallow had a sincerely held belief her children were vampires. It was no defense to murder,
The mind of the defendant cannot create their own justification. Whether Trump actually believed his election stolen, or if he lied and said it was, isn’t the real issue.
The President is not a one man Supreme Court, or our republic is over.
Did one man attempt to overturn a constitutional election by conspiring to submit his own vote totals which were not official totals?
Can Biden do that, just on his own authority?
Or a President in 20 or 40 or 60 years?
He’ll get the max, and should be hung.
It was an attempted coup.
what charge is not true? he spent 3 years saying the election was stolen and the insurrection happened because of his words. and don't give me that bull he said to go peacefully well mr brilliant they did not do it and he knew they were so pissed of that if he did say be peaceful they would not listen because they were too pissed off by his words.
“I know how you feel, but go home and go home in peace. I know you’re in pain. I know you’re hurt,” Trump said in a one minute video address released on his Twitter account.Bruce » 04 Aug 2023, 1:36 am » wrote: ↑ Turley is a brilliant commentator with one large intellectual hole in his reasoning.

Unless one honestly believes they were born in the wrong sexed body. We are entering new territory, where failure to recognize the sincerely held delusions of others is civilly and criminally actionable.Bruce » 04 Aug 2023, 1:36 am » wrote: ↑ Turley is a brilliant commentator with one large intellectual hole in his reasoning.

You can make a speech that gets people emotionally charged - there is no prohibition against that. And, people are responsible for their own stupid actions. Trump very clearly and specifically said "peaceful and patriotic". He never told a soul to storm the capital. Nor did he conspire with others to tell people to do this.
But, you already know this. Democrats already know this. Jack Smith already knows this. That's why all of this, in light of the real crimes Joe Biden has committed is so crooked and corrupt.

How does one "fight like hell" and do so peacefully and patriotically?

Fghting FOR the American people is not the same as fighting to overturn a free and fair election.
And yes... I held lots of guns.. and fired lots of them as well. I have a rifle expert medal, and a pistol expert medal, I am an accomplished weapons officer who has excelled at NGFS with a 5"54, and I have signed for custody of large magazines filled with missiles and rockets, many of them with nuclear warheads and fired some of them, including the very first open ocean Harpoon warshot.
And in my private life, I continue to be a proud gun owner. Come on up and let me show you my collection.
