Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Trump’s media interviews are music to the ears of prosecutors like Jack Smith and Fani Willis, who are gathering evidence against him.
Schiff told CNN’s Jim Acosta when asked if Trump was taking full ownership of the 2020 plot to overturn the election: “It sounds like he, I think this is probably, uh, you know, music to his ears belongs to the special counsel looking into this election. interviews that gathered further evidence against the president. It’s probably good news for the prosecutors in Georgia too, here he’s taking responsibility and saying it was essentially his decision that he ignored the respected lawyers who said things he didn’t want to hear and went along with the crazies. because it confirmed what he wanted to believe.”

Trump continues to ignore the right to remain silent, at his peril. The former president should have known that both District Attorney Willis and Special Prosecutor Smith used his social media posts and interview quotes in court cases. However, Donald Trump has learned nothing and continues to dig the hole deeper in every new media interview he does.
The former president appears to be taking full credit for the attempted coup, which will make Jack Smith’s job easier. Trump admitted in principle last week in the secret documents case has admitted that he took the documents because he believes he is entitled to them.
As long as Trump views the criminal cases against him as political problems, he runs the risk of getting himself a felony conviction.
