He was declaring the 2016 election as rigged too, right up until the point he "won" it.

Wow he really did say it.
If he isn't found guilty I'll lose any faith I have remaining in our justice system.

He is the most popular Republican candidate for a reason. They love this shit.

Didn't he also talk about how "all those J6 people were treated very badly" and he would "look into" pardoning Enrique Tarrio and others?

Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy.

18 U.S.C. § 2384 states:

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

Suggesting the possibility of a pardon for someone convicted of seditious conspiracy is "giving aid or comfort to the enemies [of the US Constitution]."

Trump is ineligible to hold office, per the 14th Amendment, Section Three.

Oh, so he confessed. Can we skip to the "lock him up" phase now?

"And furthermore, I did shoot that man on Fifth Avenue."

ANTIFA SHIT MY PANTS!!!

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.

Don't you guys know anything? Words have zero meaning anymore. From "literally" to "pov", no one really understands how to use the english language anymore. Trump is a practitioner of the "that's not what I meant" school of communication. GWB had clearer thoughts.

This is going to help everyone around Trump walk, because they can point to him taking full accountability, Meadows Eastman, Giuliani can get out of it. And Trump himself will never see any consequences either.

RICO case in Georgia is much more difficult, which is why the GOP down there have created a committee to remove any prosecutors they want. So, that's how that will get killed off.

I know

Putin told you too. Traitor

This is why he should have get a gag order from a judge. He already is preparing his base that he will lose in court: "yes, I did it, but anyone would do the same, because all is rigged against me"

He’s doing this to try and prove he didn’t know he lost the election.

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that will work.

That makes sense knowing the way he went on about it.

Did anyone watch the clip, or just reacting to the headline? Immediately after he said that, they return to the commentator who says there isn't much in that statement that can be used by prosecutors

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“It was my decision, but I listened to some people,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview that aired Sunday.

“I was listening to different people, and when I added it all up, the election was rigged,” Trump told Kristen Welker in the interview, again pushing the false claim as he seeks the 2024 Republican nomination for president.

He pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and another official to “recalculate” the numbers and “find” enough votes to let him win.

The House select committee that investigated Trump’s actions in the lead-up to the January 6, 2021, insurrection argued that the evidence shows he actively worked to “transmit false Electoral College ballots to Congress and the National Archives” despite concerns among his lawyers that doing so could be unlawful.

Trump is facing four charges in Smith’s case, including obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Trump was also charged in a sweeping Georgia indictment accusing him of being the head of a “criminal enterprise” to overturn the 2020 election.
