Doesn’t this severely undercut Trump’s ‘advice of counsel’ defense?

It goes to intent. If he didn't intend to break the law he may not be culpable.
True as far as it goes. But I can easily image the five people mentioned above contacting Jack Smith with a what-can-we-work-out message (they haven’t been indicted, so they have a bit of wiggle room). Trump floating an ‘advice of counsel’ defense is tantamount to throwing his lawyers under the bus. None of these people are going to prison for Trump.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies...235557681/ Yeah a movie with an open Trans character that constantly condemn patriarchy and talks about female empowerment can't imagine they would release it in full.

Ohio voting matters
Quote:Voters in Ohio have rejected Issue 1, a proposal that would have made it more difficult to amend the state constitution, marking a victory for abortion rights campaigners.
Pro-choice campaigners in Ohio are pushing for an amendment in November that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
******
In a statement on Tuesday, president Joe Biden said: “Today, Ohio voters rejected an effort by Republican lawmakers and special interests to change the state’s constitutional amendment process.
“This measure was a blatant attempt to weaken voters’ voices and further erode the freedom of women to make their own health-care decisions. Ohioans spoke loud and clear, and tonight democracy won.”

Man killed in FBI raid after alleged threats against Biden, other officials (msn.com)
An FBI raid early Wednesday to arrest a man who had threatened to kill President Biden ended with one person dead at a Provo, Utah, home, the agency said.
The FBI declined to identify the person who was killed. Agents were serving an arrest warrant on Provo resident Craig D. Robertson following his alleged online threats against Biden, according to a 30-page felony complaint signed by a judge Tuesday.
The complaint included screenshots of Facebook posts allegedly made by Robertson, one of which read: “THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A PRESIDENTIAL ASSASSINATION OR TWO. FIRST JOE THEN KAMALA!!!”

There was a profile of him on NPR. He was clearly absolutely nuts.
His neighbors were very surprised to hear it was him. He was known as a kind "teddy-bear".
He was disabled and most likely. totally out of his mind.
Maybe he was committing suicide by cop.
He did make numerous threats, but if they had thoroughly investigated him, (which they had been doing since March),
they should have been able to find a way to grab him without killing him. He was often at church. It would have been easy.
I'm happy to be told I'm all wrong here, ... but US law enforcement needs to learn a different tactic.
