You’ll notice that none of The Disciples even attempt to show Their Messiah’s innocence.
The best they can do is to try to claim that Trump and his team conspiring to substitute fake electors in place of the real ones is somehow an exercise of Trump’s free speech.

Another indication that The Disciples cannot discuss ANY issue without LYING.
In one of Heinlein’s novels, a character noted that there are two kinds of lawyers: ones that genuinely help people, and parasites. Count of Mostly Crisco always hires the latter.
Traitor45 is now asking for a change of venue and a new judge, that he can’t get a fair trial in D.C. and with the judge who has proven tough on Jan. 6 conspirators.
On Friday evening, prosecutors from the office of special counsel Jack Smith asked the court for a protective order to stop Trump from making public any of the information they were about to deliver to his lawyers under the discovery phase of the upcoming criminal trial, such as the names of witnesses who will testify against him.
They noted that such protection was “particularly important” because Trump “has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys and others associated with legal matters pending against him”.
Citing his social media message from earlier in the day, they argued that publishing such information “could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses”. The prosecutors included a screenshot of Trump’s threatening post from that same evening.
On Saturday, the presiding judge in the case, Judge Tanya Chutkan, ordered that Trump’s lawyers respond to the prosecutor’s request for a protective order by 5pm Monday.
All through the weekend, Trump continued to threaten potential witnesses.
“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him VP, has gone to the Dark Side,” he posted Saturday.
And Trump hasn’t stopped attempting to obstruct justice.
On Sunday he called Jack Smith “deranged”, and in another all-caps message he accused Smith of waiting to bring the case until “right in the middle” of his election campaign.
In another post he asserted that he would never get a “fair trial” with Chutkan and jurors from Washington DC.
These statements directly violate the conditions of Trump’s release pending trial.
Ex-Donald Trump Adviser Calls Him a ‘Lunatic’ Over Pelosi Attack
“Yo, GOP – we just going to keep pretending this is normal & okay?” Farah Griffin, now a co-host on ABC’s The View, wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a screenshot of Trump’s post about Pelosi. “I wouldn’t let my family near the kind of lunatic that rants like this on the internet.”
Most US citizens are immigrants — or descendants of immigrants — who came from intolerant/authoritarian nations, that came to our country and created a Constitution based on tolerance/representation … so why would a faction ignore the Constitution’s essential message in favor of irrational, cultish/tribal, violent, extreme right-wing, propaganda, that preaches intolerance/exclusion?

I’d have SWORN that would require an anal sphincter around the neck. But “pretzel logic” isn’t WRONG exactly.

If this is the best they have in way of defense, I suspect they’ll be pretty salty when all is said and done.

Trump and his team are using the First Amendment in the court of public opinion, but before the judge it will not be a factor.
