REPORT: Biden Plans To Celebrate Potential Trump Guilty Verdict From White House... / WOW: Jack Smith PANICS After Trump Repeatedly Talks About...

President Biden is planning to address the verdict in former President Donald Trump?s New York City trial regardless of the outcome, according to a new report. The president will comment on the trial from a White House setting in order to give the appearance of impartiality, though he is ready to celebrate and use the trial as a campaign talking point from the Oval Office if Trump is found guilty.

Citing sources within the Biden Administration, Politico reported that Biden intends to address the verdict from the White House rather than a campaign venue in order to ?show his statement isn?t political.?
If Trump is convicted, Biden will argue that it is proof of the former president?s unfitness for office and demonstrates the ?extremes to which the former president would go to win again.? The campaign social media is also well prepared for a guilty verdict and plans to immediately blitz social media by referring to their political rival as ?Convicted Felon Donald Trump.?
Biden?s team is also planning to use an acquittal or a hung jury as a line of attack against Trump and the Republican Party as a whole. According to Politico, the White House intends to portray Trump and his supporters as the party of chaos and lawlessness regardless of the outcome.
?This is an important moment and the president first and foremost needs to stress that the American system works, even and especially in an election year,? one of four anonymous sources from the Biden team told Politico. ?And in a measured way, it becomes part of his argument against Trump too: Do Americans really want this??
Closing arguments in the case are set to begin Tuesday after more than four weeks of trial proceedings, meaning the jury could reach a verdict as early as next week.
While the Biden campaign is eager to attack Trump over the coordinated lawfare targeted against him, a number of aides have conceded that a guilty verdict is unlikely to change the overall trajectory of the campaign. The report noted that insiders do not believe the trial has resonated with voters outside the Northeast Corridor.
?I don?t think [Biden] needs to run to the briefing room to talk about this,? said Jennifer Palmieri, former communications director for President Barack Obama. ?But, at some point, he should address the conviction saying that a jury of Donald Trump?s peers have convicted him of a crime and it would do extraordinary damage to the standing of the United States and to the credibility of our democratic system for someone Americans found guilty of a crime to then be elected president.?
The campaign believes that next month?s presidential debate is far more important to the race and will present an opportunity to sway undecided voters. While aides are hoping that a conviction could help the margins in what projects to be a tight race, they have also conceded that the lawfare mostly appeals to voters who were already reliable Democrats.
Additional criminal cases against Trump ? the federal classified documents case, federal election interference case and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis? RICO case ? are not expected to go to trial before the election.
In the New York case, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg used COVID-era policies to expand the statute of limitations on an administrative payment error, which is generally a misdemeanor. Bragg then upgraded the charge to a felony, citing a ?conspiracy? to commit another crime. While Bragg has never specified the exact crime, his team has attempted to convince the jury that Trump ?interfered? in the 2016 election.

WOW: Jack Smith PANICS After Trump Repeatedly Talks About...
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday requested a gag order to be imposed on former President Donald Trump relating to the classified documents case. Smith is seeking to bar Trump from discussing the fact that FBI agents who raided his Mar-A-Lago estate in 2022 were authorized to use deadly force.
In Friday?s court filings, Smith asked U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon to modify the conditions of Trump?s pre-trial release to ?make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.?
Smith accused Trump of making ?false and inflammatory? statements about how the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) executed its unprecedented raid in 2022. Agents executing the raid ? which was personally approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland ? were authorized to use deadly force on Trump, his family, Mar-Lago guests and even the former president?s Secret Service detail if deemed necessary.
Defenders of the raid have argued that the use of force policy is simply ?boilerplate? language that applies to every FBI operation.
?Those statements create a grossly misleading impression about the intentions and conduct of federal law enforcement agents?falsely suggesting that they were complicit in a plot to assassinate him?and expose those agents, some of whom will be witnesses at trial, to the risk of threats, violence, and harassment,? Smith?s office wrote in the filing.
Former President Trump addressed the bombshell revelation in a Truth Social post, claiming that FBI agents were attempting to assassinate him.
?WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ?Icebox,? and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden?s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE. NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE ? 25TH AMENDMENT,? Trump wrote.
In seeking the gag order Smith argued that the former president is ??well aware, the FBI took extraordinary care to execute the search warrant unobtrusively and without needless confrontation: they scheduled the search of Mar-a-Lago for a time when he and his family would be away; they planned to coordinate with Trump?s attorney, Secret Service agents, and Mar-a-Lago staff before and during the execution of the warrant; and they planned for contingencies?which, in fact, never came to pass?about with whom to communicate if Trump were to arrive on the scene.?
If granted, Trump would be barred from discussing the details of the Mar-A-Lago raid. The presidential frontrunner is currently under a gag order in the New York v. Trump case, which prevents him from discussing compromising Judge Juan Merchan?s compromising political connections.
Trump has been fined thousands of dollars for pointing to the fact that Judge Merchan donated to President Biden, while his daughter has raised millions of dollars for Democrat candidates as an employee of a left-wing consulting firm.
