Trump Tells Republicans To Obstruct His Prosecutions Or Shut Down The Government
Trump urges Republican to shut down government to STOP the prosecutions against him.
Trump may be trying to set the record as the defendant who made the greatest number of incriminating statements in the history of American defendants. His latest incriminating statement, as reported by NBC News: “Trump demands Republicans shut down government to ‘defund’ his criminal prosecutions.”
There are several problems with Trump’s recent latest hair-brained scheme: first, law informants, including prosecutions, are considered “essential governmental functions” and are exempt from federal government shut downs. Second, Trump’s statements may actually constitute an attempt to obstruct justice. Third, even if not technically a violation of federal obstruction of. justice laws, his statements are powerful and admissible consciousness of guilt evidence. Finally, Trump even throws in a little aid and comfort to the insurrections bu urging Congressional Republicans to shut down government to stop the -rosecutions against him “and other patriots,” an obvious reference to other January 6 defendants.
Trump has created and handed to prosecutors so much incriminating evidence that, once his criminal cases move into court proper, Trump is toast.
