Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Donuel Date: 25 Oct 23 - 07:00 AM Mark Meadows took an immunity deal from the prosecutors. A plea deal is different from immunity which can immediately put Mark in prison if he lies again. Those indicted and taking deals in Georgia are like dominos falling and should now testify against Trump. The made for TV Republican Congressmen are no longer characters in Game of Thrones but are behaving like Southpark kids. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Oct 23 - 10:54 PM Cassidy Hutchinson was on the Ari Melber program on MSNBC this evening - he timed it because today another network broke a story that former Chief of Staff Meadows was granted immunity by Jack Smith in that Washington, D.C. trial. Hutchinson plays her cards pretty close to the vest, not sharing information that isn't already out there (from the hearings or her book - there is still information that will probably never be shared publicly for security reasons) but she generally thinks it is past time for Meadows to come clean and cooperate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Dave the Gnome Date: 24 Oct 23 - 11:48 AM I noticed this the other day Trump Denies Sidney Powell Was Ever His Lawyer Surely that is a dangerous claim for him to make. As she was obviously on his legal team she would have been under a lawyer/clent confidentiality agreement. Now he has said she never was on his legal team, anything she heard in confidence is no longer under wraps. Or am I missing something? |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 24 Oct 23 - 11:32 AM Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia case At an unscheduled hearing in Atlanta, Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements, a felony stemming from the election lies that Ellis and other Donald Trump lawyers peddled to Georgia lawmakers in December 2020. That's three lawyers and the bail bondsman so far, of the 19 originally charged. So far these folks are getting off really light with probation and fines. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Helen Date: 20 Oct 23 - 10:34 PM US Republicans revoke speaker bid of hardline conservative Jim Jordan after third failed vote "Hardline conservative Jim Jordan's quest to become speaker of the US House of Representatives has ended after fellow Republicans revoked their support following a third failed vote on the House floor." My take on this development is that, as the old Chinese proverb says, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step so every little positive change adds up in the larger scheme of things. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Oct 23 - 02:42 PM Another one bites the dust: Trump co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro strikes plea deal with Georgia prosecutors As jury selection was beginning, Judge McAfee said a deal had been negotiated. The first trial to have been conducted in the Georgia case is now moot - Powell dropped out yesterday, Chesebro today, so the possible risk of all of the evidence against them being aired and the other defendant trials that come later being able to benefit from that is gone, at least for now. None of the other trials have dates yet. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Oct 23 - 11:05 AM Another one bites the dust. Sidney Powell Pleads Guilty in Georgia Trump Case Ms. Powell, a lawyer who pushed baseless theories about ballot fraud in 2020, is the second defendant to accept a plea deal in the election interference case. Sidney K. Powell, a member of Donald J. Trump’s legal team after he lost the 2020 election, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to six misdemeanor counts instead of facing a criminal trial that was to begin next week. She was among 19 defendants, including Mr. Trump, who were indicted in August for their efforts to subvert the election results in Georgia. She got off light. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Oct 23 - 11:42 AM Another week, another Trump gag order under consideration. This time Judge Chutkan in Washington, D.C. Updates from the New York Times. The Guardian isn't behind a paywall. Trump has so much more wiggle room than any other other human being in the US because of candidate status and the mischief he can make about his political speech. But his gangland speech, that needs to stop. A federal judge is expected to consider on Monday whether to impose a limited gag order on Donald Trump in the criminal case over his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, potentially restricting what he can say about potential trial witnesses and prosecutors. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Oct 23 - 10:54 AM The court itself was going to delay the dissolution of the Trump properties in anticipation of an appeal, so that isn't news for anyone. But Trump will spin it as a victory. I'm of the opinion that the only reason Melania is still married to Donald is because he's so busy going to lots of places away from wherever home is this time of year that he's not interfering in her part of the house. If he finally stops running for office, I'm betting she's out of there, though I wonder if she has managed to set aside any of those millions to live on later? Past Presidents have means to make an income, but I don't know if that applies to all past first ladies. Michelle Obama and Hillary certainly landed on both feet financially, but they have skills. Laura Bush was always the helpful spouse (though she did work as a librarian right out of college.) Jimmy and Rosalynn travel as a pair in everything and have enough, but Melania would never be content to live in a small house in a small town like Rosalynn Carter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Helen Date: 06 Oct 23 - 02:55 PM Donald Trump accused of sharing nuclear submarine details with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt "Former US president Donald Trump reportedly discussed "potentially sensitive" details of America's nuclear submarine program with an Australian billionaire. "The American ABC news outlet reported that Mr Trump told Anthony Pratt the supposed number of nuclear warheads on US subs, and how close they could get to a Russian submarine without being detected. "The conversation is said to have taken place at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, several months after he left office. "ABC — which is not affiliated with ABC in Australia — also reported that Mr Pratt allegedly then shared the information with at least 45 people, including journalists and employees, as well as 10 Australian officials and three former prime ministers." |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Oct 23 - 10:54 AM Infighting is so unattractive, and as entertaining as it can be for a couple of days, it sets an even nastier tone for the rest of the term. Meanwhile, the current avatar of public petting doesn't want her buddy Matt kicked out for being a douche: Lauren Boebert said it would be 'childish, vengeful' for Republicans to remove Matt Gaetz after he led McCarthy's ousting. Politico sheds light on the Trump for speaker discussion: How Trump was talked into — and out of — a run for speaker Just hours after Kevin McCarthy was deposed as House speaker, the “draft Trump” movement began. Meanwhile, ever since Trump's petulant departure from the courtroom on Wednesday midday the trial has gone much smoother. And even though Trump is still trying for delays to postpone the inevitable, today some some of his executives testify. The biggest nugget to hit the news yesterday was the over-sharing that Trump did with the Australian rich guy, who then went and told ~80 people about US nuclear submarine strategy and how close they could get to Russia undetected. Putin is saving a lot of money on spys now that Trump has been in office and after. As noted, this is a separate crime that could be charged, but in terms of proving, more difficult since it is a he said/he said kind of testimony involved. |
