Donald Trump Thursday evening backtracked on his previous vow to present proof that the 2020 Georgia election was stolen at a press conference coming next week, following reports that such a stunt could lead to another indictment in the state. Trump had said his press conference would show that the Fani Willis case should be dropped, but media reports later surfaced showing that the former president's own lawyers warned him to cancel the event. Trump had a different spin on things: POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office? "Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment by a publicity & campaign finance seeking D.A., who sadly presides over a record breaking Murder & Violent Crime area, Atlanta," he posted on Thursday. "Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!" Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr delivered one of his harshest criticisms to date of his former boss on Thursday, accusing Donald Trump of “moral turpitude.” “You know, you don’t get immunity for two years in the run-up to an election just by saying, ‘Hey, I’m a candidate,'” Barr told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. “These investigations have been going on for a while, everyone knew about them even before he even before he announced his candidacy,” Barr continued. “So if there’s a chance to get it resolved before the election, it should be because the American people should know these are crimes involved – or potential crimes – involving moral turpitude.” POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute says moral turpitude is “wicked, deviant behavior constituting an immoral, unethical, or unjust departure from ordinary social standards such that it would shock a community.” READ MORE: ‘Truly Scandalous: Jim Jordan Slammed by Former Top DOJ Official Barr also talked about the two federal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, one for Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, and one for his refusal to return classified and other documents. “I think the federal cases are legitimate,” Barr said. “At the end of the day, at the core of this thing he engaged in – in the case of the documents – in outrageous behavior where anyone would be prosecuted. I don’t know of any attorney general who could walk away from it.” “He’s not being prosecuted for having the documents, he’s being prosecuted for obstruction, two egregious instances are alleged so I think that’s a very simple case.” Barr also said for him, Trump “crossed the line” when “he used this device of impaling imposter electors, swearing that they were the electors, but the key point there was, they were in tandem with a plan whereby the vice president would use that as a pretext for nullifying the legal and certified votes. So it was a calculated and deceitful plan to remain in office by nullifying and negating certified legal votes.” Watch the videos below or at this link : CONTINUE READING Show less Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman warned Roger Stone that the strong arm of the law isn't far off. Akerman was speaking to Jason Johnson on Thursday, who was filling in for MSNBC's Ari Melber, when Johnson replayed a clip of the bombshell documentary that exposed Roger Stone's role in the Jan. 6 attack and in proposing the idea of fake electors. Among the things revealed in the doc is that Stone had a meltdown over the fact that Trump didn't pardon him before leaving office on Jan. 20. POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office? "I think the real problem here is that in the Jan. 6th indictment that was brought to the District of Columbia by Jack Smith, he wanted to keep it really simple, and had only Donald Trump as a defendant, so he could get this to trial in January or February of next year," explained Akerman. As for Roger Stone, however, Akerman said, "I guarantee you they have something on him. I mean, just to give you a couple of little tidbits, we know that Roger Stone was on Capitol Hill on Jan. 5th, the day before the riot. He was hanging out with the very people that you just mentioned in that group chat, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers. In fact, he was photographed with the three of the Oath Keepers who have pled guilty to seditious conspiracy and agreed to cooperate with the government." Those witnesses, the three Oath Keepers, haven't yet been called in any of the trials. "And I think the radical reason is, probably they are saving those people for Roger Stone," said Akerman. "If they had had them testify in the original trials, they would have had to turn over all of the statements and reveal what they have said about Roger Stone. So, my sense is that Roger Stone's day is coming. Buckle up your seatbelt, and just sit and wait." See the full commentary in the video below or at the link right here.

"You know, you think about this a lot in these situations," Vance said about the political violence facing different groups this week. "My father-in-law was an 11th Circuit judge who was murdered by a mail bomber. That person was a dissatisfied litigant and that person posed a threat to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. He sent a bomb to the court which, fortunately, didn't go off. He sent a bomb to the NAACP in Florida. He sent a bomb that tragically went off and killed an alderman in Savannah, Georgia. So these risks of violence are not new." The bomber she is referencing is Walter Leroy Moody, who was ultimately caught and executed in 2018. POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office? "When federal appeals Judge Robert Vance opened the small brown parcel in the kitchen of his suburban Alabama home on December 16, 1989, it exploded, killing him instantly and seriously injuring his wife," the FBI history page said. "Two days later, virtually the same scenario happened again. This time, the victim was Atlanta Attorney Robert Robertson." In total Moody sent four bombs before being stopped. "What is new" today, Vance explained about acts of violence, "is that they are being condoned . And perhaps even worse, the singular voice that could condemn them, a former president simply refuses to do so . It is inexplicable that this is an aspect of our politics that people are so wrapped up in obtaining and keeping power that we now lack the simple decency to say, there are limits in a democracy. And among those limits is threatening violence. Jurors like the grand jurors in Georgia, judges like Judge Chutkan. We simply can't tolerate this and remain the America that we want to be."
