Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in his Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their “immunity appendices” at the same time — after the 2024 election has come and gone.
On Oct. 10, several days after Smith’s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecution’s redacted appendix should also go public since Trump’s “‘concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.” At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trump’s team seven days to “evaluate litigation options.”
Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming “the public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.”

I agree maybe about 90%. But this does have Trump worried, which means there is likely evidence that might be a bridge too far for some of his voters.
There are also many of his voters who have said they didn’t like his personality but will vote for him over the Democrat. These same people likely see J6 as a hoax or blown it off proportion because if it was seditious or an actual crime he would have been arrested.
If real evidence is raised that isn’t affectively countered in court that shows the conspiracy is a lie, some might be swayed.
they’ve been throwing real evidence out the window for going on 10 years… don’t forget that these people regard trump and ONLY trump as a source of information. everything else is “fake news” no matter how real it is to everyone else
What bridge is a bridge too far for his supporters? They don’t care that he’s a diaper wearing, dementia riddled fossil. They don’t care that he’s a rapist. They absolutely ENJOY that he’s a felon. They don’t care that he had an affair with a porn star while his wife was pregnant. They don’t care that he directly caused millions of preventable deaths from COVID. They don’t care that hes openly and overtly racist. They don’t care that he wants to become a dictator. They don’t care that he sold American and allied secrets to Putin. They don’t care that he has a secret romance with Kim Jon Un.
So what I ask, is a bridge too far?
At this point the only thing that would hurt him is if he came out in support of queer rights and M4A
