thats a good point. was there every really going to be a conference?
i think its also possible someone convinced him if he did it, he might trigger a judicial response. he seems to be gettin nervous
I think there was going to be a conference. Trump may or may not have produced the "total exoneration" document he's been crowing about. If he did, it undoubtedly would have been the same drivel cited in the indictment as fabricated misinformation/lies. If he didn't, he'd say it was still being finished. Either way, the conservative world would be citing the document as proof of his innocence. I think the document is merely a distraction. Trump was going to use this conference as a call to arms directed at his idiot thug horde. He's badly wanting to launch January 6th 2.0 against Fulton County. I think he backed off when his lawyers told him he'd end up in a jail cell until trial. This is all total speculation on my part, but quite plausible I think.
Yeah I have to agree. Although I don't think his lawyer told him that releasing whatever like of lies he had would have been damaging to his cases.
