20/ Griffin:

Jack Smith: Trump told [REDACTED] advisors before the 2020 election that he would simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted.

21/ Klasfeld:

In the middle of Rudy Giuliani peddling lies about "more than 10,000 dead voters" to the Georgia State Senate, Mark Meadows sent out text messages confirming that the campaign's lawyer debunked the fake stat, according to the new brief.

23/ 👉🏼Klasfeld:

Note on attrib of a quote making the rounds in Smith's brief:

The figure quoted saying “Make them riot” & “Do it!!!" is "P5."

That person is descr as "a Campaign employee, agent& co-conspirator" of Trump.

via @tristansnell:

devastating evidence of Trump directly leading the January 6 insurrection and attack on the Capitol

👉🏼Trump was warned there would be violence and replying: “Make them riot. Do it.”👈🏼

Jack Smith is now bringing the hammer down on Trump

24/ Griffin:

Jack Smith reinforces the 'private' acts:

"As President, the defendant had no official responsibilities related to the states' administration of the election or the appointment of their electors, and instead contacted state officials in his capacity as a candidate. Tellingly, the defendant contacted only state officials who were in his political party and were his political supporters, and only in states he had lost."

25/ TO REPEAT (via Griffin):

Smith: A Trump "campaign employee," when presented w information at a Detroit tabulation facility that a final batch from would heavily favor Biden, said, "find a reason it isn't," "give me options to file litigation."

"When the colleague suggested that there was about to be unrest reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers Riot, a violent effort to stop the vote count in Florida after the 2000 presidential election, [PERSON 5] responded, 'Make them riot' and 'Do it!!!'"

26/ Jack Smith: After Trump's Twitter post focused the Jan. 6 mob on Mike Pence, an aide alerted him to the situation, hoping Trump would take action to ensure Pence's safety.

Instead, Trump looked at the aide and said only, "So what?" according to grand jury testimony newly disclosed.

27/ Jack Smith: One of Trump's lawyers gave him an "honest assessment" that his election lies would not hold up in court.

Trump seemed not to care.

"The details don't matter," the brief quotes Trump as saying.

28/ Jack Smith will argue Trump's conversations with Mike Pence should be entered into evidence.

"The Government … intends to introduce at trial evidence regarding conversations between the defendant and Pence in which they did not discuss Pence’s official responsibilities as President of the Senate and instead acted in their private capacities as running mates."

29/ Phang:

p. 79: "Beginning at about 1:30 pm [on Jan. 6th], [Trump] settled in the dining room off of the Oval Office. He spent the afternoon there reviewing Twitter on his phone, while the dining room television played Fox News’ contemporaneous coverage of events at the Capitol."

30/ Cheney:

Ken Chesebro (CC5) was instructed by co-conspirator 6 to only communicate by text with him and John Eastman.

Smith provides details of private texts and conversations Trump was having with alleged co-conspirators just around Christmas, all related to the pressure campaign against Mike Pence.

31/ Via @Brandi_Buchman

During an acceptance speech @ RNC Convention in August '20, he again claimed, "the only way they can take this election away from us is if its a rigged election"

Notably, Smith does not include similar remarks Trump made from the Oval in Sept 20 (distinguish campaign from prez)

32/ THREAT. And, premeditated:

Via Griffin:

Jack Smith: On Jan. 5, Trump told Mike #Pence he would criticize him publicly if he didn’t decertify the election.

"The defendant once again told Pence, 'I think you have the power to decertify.' When Pence was unmoved, the defendant threatened to criticize him publicly ('I'm gonna have to say you did a great disservice').

33/ My god, you guys, this stuff is just explosive.

Bombshell.

Devastating.

And it's now public.

F you, #SCOTUS.

And thank you #JackSmith
