    No, the strongest case is from DC. Jack Smith did a fine job of threading the needle of not charging Trump for anything he said, just what he actually did. So no first amendment defense.

    Precisely, and that’s why Trump’s lawyers are practically begging the judge presiding over that case to have Smith’s request for a January 2024 trial pushed out to 2026, presumably so Trump can attempt to win back the presidency and pardon himself.

    Trumps lawyers are dumb, but they’re not so dumb that they don’t know Trump is fucked six ways to Sunday on the DC court case.
