The United States of America vs. Donald J. Trump

Break it Down with Rick and Tim

The United States of America vs Donald Trump indictment includes the accusations that Trump knew he lost the 2020 election even though his officials told him so. It also alleges Trump enlisted the help of six co-conspirators (and we think we know who four of them are). It has the false elector scheme and a top justice department officials’ effort to delay election certification. Trump turned on Pence as January Six approached, and details how Trump reacted to the attack on the Capitol. As of the podcast recording, Trump faces 78 felony charges in total stemming from the Stormy Daniels Case, the stealing classified documents, and the January Six Insurrection. We don’t know what the Georgia indictments will bring just yet.

Rick and Tim go over Trump's J6 co-conspirators: Rudy Giuliani (Mr. Farts and Sexual Harassment), John Eastman (Mr. I Plead The Fifth), Sidney Powell (Ms. Dominion Cuckoo), and Jeffrey Clark (Mr. Insurrection Architect). They also try to guess who the other unnamed conspirators are. Who could they be? Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows? Former Senior Advisor Jared Kushner? Attorney Kenneth Chesebro? Wife of Supreme Court Justice Ginni Thomas? And then there’s Steven Miller, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Pillow Boy Mike Lindell. Trump's defense for inciting the insurrection is Freedom of Speech. But his words, “Fight like hell” aren't an opinion, it’s direction. Rick asks Tim why does the Republican Party still put Trump on a golden pedestal? Tim’s answer: Because they can’t afford to lose their base. The recent New York Times/Sienna Poll is discussed and the reason why Republicans still like Trump is because he’s “fun.”

Mitch McConnell was booed at a recent political event which brings up the discussion of Republicans abusing our political institutions by not playing fair, and trying to do everything they can to gain power, even if it means exploitation through disruption. That also includes using religion as a tool to gain power and money. For example, what the previous Wyoming representative, Liz Cheney, once claimed Democrats were doing to babies. Mike Pence has finally flipped on Trump, but is it too little too late? Trump’s Mobb-like social media posts are filled with innuendo and are going to be getting him in trouble with the Department of Justice. Republican candidate Chris Christie has a few things to say about Donald Trump and Tim thinks Christie knows he's not going to win and is only doing this to bring down Donald Trump.
