If he did actually set up the false electors scam as accused, then yes, he really was. We will find out soon enough.

I think that belief may hold true for the other charges but not here. Trump will certainly not be playing a popular Ray Charles track for the time being.

State of play: Georgia law requires that cameras be allowed during judicial proceedings with a judge's approval. Cameras are seen as an important aspect of transparency.
A judge would need a compelling reason — such as a juvenile victim or witness — to bar them, per Atlanta News First. Neither are likely to apply.
Under Georgia's rules, the public could be able to watch Trump's potential arraignment — as well as an entire potential criminal trial, per NBC News.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
The fake electors' thing is so stupid that it makes sense if it would be the thing that actually sticks after all the other stuff he did. Just completely mad nonsense that never would have worked and yet that sticks more than the violence in Washington.
It does pretty much amount to an attempted coup though. I really don't understand why people defend it.

Because they are unhinged cult followers? They need something to believe in if only to give themselves some validity/purpose and someone/thing to hate, and to divert from crap reality that is their real life?
The US does have a history of that sort of cult behaviour.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
Interesting take:
Quote:
Former Trump WH lawyer Ty Cobb on Trump promising to release a “large complex, detailed, but irrefutable report on the presidential election fraud”:
“There’s a good chance that whatever document he produces ends up as evidence against him. It could even end up as the basis for an obstruction count against the author because it’s likely to be fiction and solely for the purpose of contaminating the jury pool.”

Re: Trump’s Troubles
And there's more.
Quote:
BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with MORE devastating news as Arizona’s Attorney General announces that Trump may soon be hit with a FIFTH criminal indictment over the “fake electors” conspiracy that he masterminded in an attempt to steal Biden’s win.
But it gets even BETTER…
Arizona reporters just reported that “the attorney general’s office has confirmed that an investigation into Trump, his allies and Arizona’s fake electors is officially underway.”
Even better, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is throwing her weight behind the investigation into Trump, declaring that “all involved in trying to overturn the will of the voters” must “be held accountable” — ESPECIALLY those “at the top level” — a direct shot at Trump.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
“Donald, if you present what you basically claim is the details of your defence in the public domain now, instead of at your trial, you’re going to be accused of jury poisoning on top of everything else. This really is the time to shut up and let us get on with our jobs …”

Re: Trump’s Troubles

Aug 17 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Donald Trump on Thursday asked a federal judge in Washington to schedule an April 2026 trial for the former president, on federal charges that he allegedly sought to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
That requested date would place the trial after the November 2024 U.S. election, in which Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination
"The public interest lies in justice and fair trial, not a rush to judgment," Trump's attorneys wrote on Thursday.
U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith, whose office is prosecuting the federal 2020 election case against Trump, last Thursday asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to schedule a trial to start on Jan. 2, 2024. That date is two weeks before the first votes are cast in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
A spokesperson for Smith on Thursday declined to comment beyond that earlier court filing.
