Also this, evening we are learning more from a new legal filing about what special counsel jack smith was looking for in Donald Trumps twitter account. Earlier this, year smith got a Search Warrant to access a whole range of information from trumps account, including direct messages, draft, with and location data. The former president is now, facing i want you to think, about this a total of 91 separate Felony Charges after separate indictments. His republican backers, claim all of these charges are just the result of corruption and conspiracies against trump, but please remember, those charges, many one charges represent the work of multiple grand juries, which are made up of every day americans. There are separate judges, prosecutors, and investigators, not the socalled deep state. No sur
not the so-called deep state. no surprise, donald trump is continuing his relentless attacks on officials involved in these prosecutions. judge who s overseeing the fuller has officially warned him about making inflammatory statements, but he is not stopping. tonight, a texas woman is under arrest, for allegedly threatening to kill if trump does not get elected in 2024. nbc news has learned, some trump supporters have posted online the supposed names and addresses of a grand jurors who indicted trump on monday. people who are simply doing their civic duty. patriots. earlier today, one former top official of the white house in his spoken out against trump since, offered this warning. we now have a political party that is mainstream that violence as unacceptable tactic in these studies show, the gop base is embracing it. donald trump continues to blow that dog whistle, we re talking about real threats of real people. you have to take it seriously.

instead of holding cohen close, let him slip further out and ultimately cohen did talk with authorities. but that was during the trump administration and the trump lead justice department, and that case was one and done, nothing came of it. this is a different situation. and many of these individuals who find themselves indicted alongside trump will have to make a very calculated decision about whether they want to spend years, potentially, in a georgia prison. i think for many of these people, and rudy giuliani knows a lot more about bad present conditions that many people do, that may become a compelling factor. and when you line that up with his inability to afford the kind of lawyers that all of us would probably want to have in this sort of a situation, he may be interested in pleading guilty. whether or not prosecuted believe he has anything to offer them at this point is an entirely different calculation.
