Nation’s Most Esteemed Law Professor Says Trump Confessed to Crimes in His CNN Townhall

It’s been two full days and CNN is still wondering if anyone will ever watch or trust the network again.

Anderson Cooper is having the same existensial crisis after gaslighting America by lecturing us about having to listen to this man, the one who cannot be debated, nor questioned. As Chris Hayes summed up yesterday; “Trump’s only argument for electing him president is that he should rule, period.”

Not for nothing but Hayes also noted that Trump attempted to destroy American democracy during his first term and he’s attempting to come back and finish the job. Trump isn’t running for his second term, according to Hayes, he’s running for his “forever term.” (Something that we have reported and reported and reported…)

Trump felt loose and why wouldn’t he? CNN allowed Trump fans only. They told the audience that they could cheer but they couldn’t boo. Despite the fact that CNN should have its cable television license revoked, the “looseness” allowed Trump to feel confident enough to talk, and when he talks, and talks, and talks… without a lawyer present, he talks about various elements of crimes he’s committed.

Trump may have just given prosecutors an entire exhibit with so much evidence it will have to be spliced, Exhibit F-4(c). From Newsweek, we know that the country’s most esteemed law professor, the man who taught constitutional law to nearly every SCOTUS justice (don’t blame the professor), Professor Lawrence Tribe – a gentleman, as well as a fantastic teacher – noted that Trump spit up a lot of evidence that might help convict him. (Tribe’s explanation below).

Tribe, always teaching, explained a tweet in which he said that Trump helped Jack Smith by spilling a lot of facts by emailing Newsweek:

I had in mind the way CNN’s fake town hall gave Trump a platform to praise the insurrectionists as ‘great people’; to pledge that he would pardon ‘a large portion’ of them who are serving time; and to make clear that he fully intended the violent attack on the Capitol and on Mike Pence that his remarks incited, refusing to express regret even for having endangered his vice president’s very life,” Tribe told Newsweek via email Friday.

“Those remarks filled any remaining gaps in the proof of Trump’s intent to foment what the law defines as an insurrection,” he added. “In addition, Trump’s admission that he wanted to exploit Pence’s role by working with the fake electors and his lawyers to prevent the electoral votes actually cast on December 14 [2020] from being counted amounts to a confession of seditious conspiracy in the form of an attempted coup.”

l wouldn’t dare add anything to the professor’s summation.
