It’s pretty bad when a Democrat Pollster says, Kamala offers nothing.

Donald Trump bears responsibility for Jan. 6 attack, Jack Smith argues in new filingThe special counsel says Trump "willfully caused his supporters to obstruct and attempt to obstruct" the certification of Joe Biden's victory in 2020.

Oct. 16, 2024, 12:21 PM EDT By Ryan J. Reilly

WASHINGTON — A team of federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith said in a filing Wednesday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump bears responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In a filing responding to Trump's attempt to dismiss the case, Smith's team said it "is incorrect" for Trump's team to assert that the superseding indictment returned against Trump in August does not show that Trump bears responsibility for the events of Jan. 6.

Trump, Smith's team said, "willfully caused others" to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory by repeating his false claims of election fraud and giving "false hope" to his supporters who believed that then-Vice President Mike Pence might overturn the election, and by "pressuring" Pence and legislators to accept fraudulent certificates as part of the fake electors scheme.

"Those allegations link the defendant’s actions on January 6 directly to his efforts to corruptly obstruct the certification proceeding," Smith's team wrote.

Special counsel Jack Smith speaks about an unsealed indictment against Trump.

"Contrary to the defendant’s claim … that he bears no factual or legal responsibility for the 'events on January 6,' the superseding indictment plainly alleges that the defendant willfully caused his supporters to obstruct and attempt to obstruct the proceeding by summoning them to Washington, D.C., and then directing them to march to the Capitol to pressure the Vice President and legislators to reject the legitimate certificates and instead rely on the fraudulent electoral certificates," Smith's team wrote.

Trump’s lawyers previously argued the indictment “stretches generally applicable statutes beyond their breaking point based on false claims that President Trump is somehow responsible for events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021,” and sought to “assign blame for events President Trump did not control and took action to protect against.”

The indictment alleged that Trump exploited the violence and chaos at the Capitol, and in a recent filing Smith’s team said that Trump — when he heard that Pence had to be rushed to a secure location shortly after Trump attacked him on Twitter — responded by saying, “So what?”

Smith and Trump's lawyers have continued to exchange legal filings in the case with less than three weeks left until Election Day, when Trump will hope to return to power after his 2020 loss. He has denied wrongdoing in the case and asserted the indictment was politically fueled.

The latest filing comes after the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity gutted part of Smith's case against Trump. The superseding indictment returned by a federal grand jury alleged that Trump knowingly spread lies about the 2020 election that were "unsupported, objectively unreasonable, and ever-changing" in his bid to overturn his loss and remain in power.

Smith's team said Trump's dismissal filing "fails to identify any pleading flaw in the superseding indictment warranting its dismissal" and his motion "ignores entirely that the case against him includes allegations that he and his co-conspirators sought to create and use false evidence — fraudulent electoral certificates — as a means of obstructing the certification proceeding."

Smith's team said in a filing earlier this month that Trump "resorted to crimes" to stay in office after his loss and that he was fundamentally acting as a private candidate for office, not as president, when he engaged in much of the conduct at the heart of their case.

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, gave Trump's team an extension that moved the due date of a filing until after the election. Trump's motion to dismiss based on his claims of presidential immunity is now due Nov. 7, while the government's reply is due on Nov. 21. Whether the case ultimately goes to trial depends on the outcome of the election.

Joy Behar Says She Is ‘Starting To Worry’ About Polls Spelling Good News For Donald Trump

NICOLE SILVERIO OCTOBER 16, 2024

“The View” co-host Joy Behar expressed worry Wednesday that recent polling is showing good outcomes for Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Recent polls show Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at a deadlock tie nationally, while the former president has received good numbers in battleground states and among black and Latino men. Behar said she is becoming nervous as the media is continuously saying that Trump is doing well in the polls.

“I’m starting to worry about the polls because I see a lot of the media saying that he’s leading, and everybody’s getting nervous and that,” Behar said. “But they’re doing that on purpose because basically it’s so disheartening for Democrats and people who are leaning toward Kamala to say ‘what are you doing, don’t buy into that.’ Don’t buy into that.”

WATCH: (LINK IF YOU WANT TO HARM YOUR EARS: https://rumble.com/v5iwk6h-joy-behar-says-she-is-getting-worried-about-polls-spelling-good-news-for-do.html)

Harris’ momentum and national lead has dropped since September, with an NBC News poll from Sunday finding that the vice president’s 5-point lead dropped to a deadlock tie of 48% to 48% against Trump. Harris’ positive rating also decreased from 48% to 43% in just one month.

The vice president is leading Trump in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan by 1 point, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Monday. President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton were ahead by 8 points in mid-October during the 2016 and 2020 elections, indicating that Harris’ 1-point lead may not be enough to win those states.

Trump has historically over performed polls during the general elections. In 2020, Biden won Wisconsin by 1 point, Michigan by 3 points and Pennsylvania by 2 points, despite polls showing him leading by larger margins.

Harris particularly holds historically low support among black men between the ages 18 and 44 with only 41 points of support, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Monday.Trump has gained ground among black and Latino men since 2016 and 2020, with 51% of Latino men between the ages of 18 and 34 supporting Trumpin Arizona, for instance, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll from Oct. 7.

Black voters have also shifted away from the Democratic Partyin general, as the support for Republicans among thevoter bloc rose from 7% in 2016 to 15% in 2024.

Harris’ lead with white women has also withered away since September, with Trump securing a 2-point lead against the vice president in October.

‘My Eyes Are Open’: Black Voter In Battleground State Says Biden-Harris Economy Pushed Him Into Trump Camp

HAROLD HUTCHISON OCTOBER 17, 202412:17 PM ET

A black voter at a Detroit barbershop said in a segment aired on Fox News Thursday morning that he was backing former President Donald Trump this November, citing high prices and the wider Biden-Harris economy.

Trump has made major inroads with black voters, eating away at Vice President Kamala Harris’ hold on the voting bloc. The voter mentioned prices at the grocery store to justify his vote to “Fox and Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones, noting that buying basic household goods feels like “making a life decision” under the Biden-Harris administration.

WATCH:

“At the end of the day, I’m Trump because my eyes are open. I can see that he was doing a lot better than what we’re going through right now,” one black voter said in the “Fox and Friends” statement. “You can’t even go to the grocery stores right now without making a life decision on what you want to get. You know, you got to compromise. We don’t have to go through that four years ago.”

Since Biden and Harris took office in January 2021, prices rose by over 20%, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached a high of 9% in June 2022. By comparison, the CPI grew 1.4% year-over-year in January 2021, when Trump left office, while the average price for a gallon of gas was under $2.25, according to GasBuddy.com.

Biden, Harris and Democrats have blamed big corporations for higher prices, saying they are the result of “corporate greed.” Harris proposed empowering the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to impose “harsh penalties” for “price gouging” by grocery stores, during an Aug. 16 speech on economic policy that drew criticism from Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell and the paper’s editorial board.

“You know, just being able to just live on a day-to-day basis, it has become a little harder at this point in time,” a second black voter said.

Democrats are scrambling to address Trump’s surge in support from black voters. Trump, who garnered 12% support from black voters in 2020, exceeded that level of support in some general election polls, including a CNN poll released in late September that showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by 55% among black voters under the age of 60, compared to a 71% margin for President Joe Biden in 2020.

Former President Barack Obama spoke at a Pittsburgh-area campaign office for the vice president Oct. 10, where he urged black men to support Harris, while appearing to accuse them of sexism for being hesitant to do so.

Trump leads Harris by 1.0% in polls of Michigan voters from Sept. 21 to Oct. 9, according to the RealClearPolling average. Trump’s lead drops to 0.3% when independent candidate Cornel West, Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein and Libertarian Chase Oliver are included as options in the surveys.

CNN’s Harry Enten Says Trump Could Be In A ‘Very Strong Position’ In Wisconsin

NICOLE SILVERIO October 17, 2024 5:52 PM ET

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Thursday that Republican nominee Donald Trump may be in a “very strong position” in Wisconsin if the polls are underestimating his support.

President Joe Biden won Wisconsin by about 1 point, 49.6% to 48.9%, after leading Trump by 8 points in the final polls, indicating that the current polls may be overestimating Vice President Kamala Harris’ lead in the current polls weeks before the 2024 election, Enten said. Harris and Trump both have an over 80% chance of winning the election if they secure Wisconsin, he said, making it a “pivotal” state to win.

“One of the real questions I have is whether the polls are actually going to be any good this time around, because you’ll look in 2020, what you see in the final polls in Wisconsin, you saw Biden up by 8 [points],” Enten said. “The actual result was Biden by a point, now I’ll note, I rounded that number up, I think it was 0.63 percentage points.So the question is, are the polls actually gonna be right this time around or are they gonna, again, underestimate Donald Trump? If so, Donald Trump is in a very strong position in the Badger State.”

Harris has an 82% chance and Trump an 88% chance of securing the 270 electoral necessary to win the election if they are able to secure Wisconsin, making the state is “more pivotal” for Harris to win than it is for the former president, Enten added.

“Chance they win the election if they win Wisconsin, for Kamala Harris, if she wins Wisconsin, 82% chance she wins the election,” Enten said. “For Donald Trump, it’s an 88% chance if he wins the election becausethe bottom line is, for Kamala Harris, the state of Wisconsin is more pivotal than it is for Donald Trump. It’s part of, of course, that Great Lake wall.”

Harris is leading Wisconsin by a narrow 0.3%, 47.9% to 47.6%, according to FiveThirtyEight. The vice president is tightly leading in Michigan 47.7% to 47.1% and in Pennsylvania 48% to 47.5%, according to more FiveThirtyEight polling.

Biden won Michigan by about 3 points in 2020, though a FiveThirtyEight poll indicated he led Trump by nearly 8 points. He also won Pennsylvania 50% to 48.8%, though a FiveThirtyEight poll indicated he led the then-president by nearly 5 points.
