Trump Lawyer Complains that Just Factually Reporting His Legal Problems is Election Interference

Donald Trump and his team of legal “stable geniuses” aren’t wasting any time in the new year contriving ever more outlandish arguments in defense of his unprecedented compendium of crimes. To date he has racked up 91 felony counts ranging from financial fraud, to theft and mishandling of classified materials, to inciting an insurrection, and even to sexual harassment and rape.

Donald Trump Sweating

In the more than three years since Trump lost the election to President Biden, he has maintained a singular fixation on his wholly imaginary allegations of election fraud, asserting that, despite having lost by more than seven million votes, he insists that he won in a landslide. Never mind that he has been unable to produce a shred of evidence to support his wild claims. He clings to his delusions even as many of those who know him best are increasingly coming forward with the truth.

On New Year’s Day Trump’s attorney, Christina Bobb, was interviewed on the ultra-rightist, Trump-fluffing “news” network, Newsmax. She was asked about recent reports that Maine’s Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, had concluded that Trump is ineligible to have his name placed on the Republican primary ballot due to his having violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Section Three of the Amendment prohibits those who have engaged in an insurrection from holding office.

Undeterred by facts or reason, Bobb, endeavored to defend Trump with a familiar refrain that he chants like a mantra. According to Trump, all of the indictments and lawsuits against him are nothing but “election interference.” But Bobb went even farther than that. As reported by The Independent

“An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.

Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out ‘propaganda’ to harm his 2024 presidential run.”

[Bobb said that] “This narrative that Trump isn’t going to be ineligible, trying to instill fear in the voters that oh, maybe I shouldn’t vote for him… maybe I shouldn’t follow him because he won’t be on the ballot.

“They’re trying to discourage people from supporting Donald Trump thinking he’s got all these legal problems. That is election interference.”

Get it? Bobb is arguing that complying with the Constitution is tantamount to “instilling fear” in voters. But even worse, she says that simply informing voters of Trump’s legal problems is election interference. In Bobb’s mind, if the media reports facts that might discourage people from voting for Trump they are improperly interfering with the election. She is upset that if people learn that Trump has multiple criminal indictments pending it will result in them “thinking he’s got all these legal problems.” And she is appalled that people might think that, even though it’s undeniably true.

In effect Bobb is arguing that merely campaigning against Trump is election interference. Because any criticism from an opponent could result in discouraging votes for Trump. DeSantis couldn’t say that Trump increased the deficit by nearly $8 trillion (which he did). Biden couldn’t say that Trump bragged about being responsible for overturning Roe v Wade (which he did). In the Trump Cult only praise of Trump is permitted.

On the other hand, Trump can spew whatever flagrant lies he wants to with impunity (which he does). All the while charging that his opponents are engaging in election interference. That phrase is one that Trump repeats ad infinitum. In just the last week Trump posted the following comments on his failing social media scam, Truth Social

  • 12/31/23: They had 3 years to file—Now I get their rushed and bad papers on New Year’s Eve. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
  • 12/29/23: This is the Lunatic A.G. … She is working closely with Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in order to harm his Political Opponent. Election Interference!
  • 12/27/23: They illegally spied on my campaign…and they come after me for Election Interference. Only in America!
  • 12/26/23: Biden’s Flunky, Deranged Jack Smith, should go to HELL. He is helping his Corrupt and Incompetent President to destroy America through Weaponization and ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
  • 12/25/23: 2024 WILL GO DOWN AS THE YEAR OF GREAT AND FULLY COORDINATED ILLEGAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE BY CROOKED JOE BIDEN, THE WORST AND MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES…MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
  • 12/25/23: It’s all about Election Interference, and Biden was pushing Garland and Monaco to act, AND FAST.
  • 12/24/23: DERANGED JACK SMITH, ARE COMING AFTER ME, AT LEVELS OF PERSECUTION NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN OUR COUNTRY??? IT’S CALLED ELECTION INTERFERENCE. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

If criticism of Trump is election interference, then the same should hold true for Biden. Therefore, Trump’s infantile nickname, “Crooked Joe,” is election interference. So is calling him the “WORST AND MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.” So are the efforts to impeach him by Republicans in the House of Representatives. So are the attacks on his son, Hunter, and other family members. So are the lies that the economy isn’t strong and getting stronger. And so is nearly everything that Fox News says about Biden.

Finally, the most obvious acts of actual election interference were the insurrection that Trump incited on January 6, 2021, and his attempts to threaten Republican state officials into overturning the election results. But those are the very things that Trump and his lawyer want to suppress and/or blatantly misrepresent. Fortunately, Trump doesn’t control the media, much as he would like to. And as long the American people turn out on election day in November, he won’t get another chance to realize his aspirations of dictatorship. It’s called “Election Interaction!”

  1. So it all comes down to, if anything happens that Their God doesn’t approve, it’s “election interference.” Right.

    The Traitors’ God is the greatest threat to our country, its people, its government, and its principles since the Civil War. And his fellow worshipers are just as bad.

    When will we treat them as such?!!

  2. She said people might think “maybe I shouldn’t follow him”? You don’t “follow” politicians, you “follow” cult leaders. This is getting creepier and more obvious by the week.

    • It certainly is. And you are exactly right in picking up on the choice of words used, with not “following” Trump being the term used for/by cult members.
      And sadly, like any other cult, Trump’s cult of idiocrisy has given up their right to think for themselves, preferring to mindlessly “follow” whatever their dear, demented leader tells them to believe?! (Guess it’s easier than actually thinking?)
      A TRUE leader doesn’t need to take over the God-given right to use your own mind & think for yourself!
