Summary

Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on two prosecutions, claiming it could harm the presidential transition and be seen as a political act.

The report is expected to include damaging details about Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and hide classified documents.

Trump’s legal team has requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland fire Smith and defer handling the report to Trump’s incoming attorney general.

Smith plans to resign before Trump’s inauguration, but the report’s release remains "imminent."

Why? What's even the point of blocking anything? Do anyone think that it will have any effect? Its very obvious by now that anybody who was able to do something about it doesn't give a fuck. It will just be milked for headlines for a few days and then die down, without any consequence for anybody mentioned in it. Why do they even care if it's released?

My pleading with the universe hope is that what's in that evidence is in fact damning enough that the public would immediately call for him to actually face justice.

But again, "pleading" hope

Not to be negative to you or anything, but if I've learned anything in the past 8 years its that there is literally nothing that could reside in that document which could result in a negative reaction from those who put him in power, or any kind of consequences. Maybe if he was secretly registered Democrat somehow. That would be about it.

"Dead girl or live boy" wouldn't even apply to Trump anymore. They would just dismiss it as fake news and the followers would believe it.

Trump was a registered Democrat up until 2016. I distinctly remember my boss reasoning it away after he got elected as Trump "playing both sides like any good businessman."

Reality doesn't matter to these fucks.

It won't because it never had any effect when Mueller released his report that showed Trump & co colluded with Russia. People just took their partisan stances and claimed it was a rigged witch hunt.
