Donald Trump has had a big mouth since his first cry upon exiting the womb (assuming he wasn’t hatched). He often shouts, is often wrong, and often shouts the wrong things he says even louder when he’s proven wrong.

So a million kudos to Special Counsel Jack Smith for understanding that the path Trump laid his entire life is the only one he needs to follow to prove him guilty in court.

In a new filing in federal court, Smith revealed that he intends to use Trump’s own tweets — some dating as far back as 2012 — to lay the groundwork of proof that when the former president doesn’t like a result, he simply cries foul.

Trump has a breadth of tweets that baselessly claim election fraud that astounds you, especially considering how much he talked about it before his own election. That’s why the tweets are of such significance to Jack Smith in the case against Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Back in 2012, Trump was saying, with no proof, that voting machines were switching votes from Mitt Romney to Barack Obama. At the outset of his own 2016 campaign, Trump claimed in advance that there would be fraud and chicanery.

Federal investigators cited Trump’s “common plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like, as well as his motive, intent, and plan to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results and illegitimately retain power.”

Of the four indictments against the former president, this case is one of the most open-and=shut. All of the evidence of everything the feds are trying to prove is right there. Trump just thinks it should be ignored, and that he should be immune to any kind of accountability for the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

But as Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote last week, “Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy, the United States has only one Chief Executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass. Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.”
