Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Sep 23 - 02:23 PM Meanwhile, the Trump toadies in the House of Representatives are desperate to try to do to Biden what the Senate did to Trump. What they want to do hasn't been authorised, so this is a sham hearing. AOC AND JAMIE RASKIN SHATTER GOP’S FAKE BIDEN IMPEACHMENT HEARING Just to make sure everyone is clear on this, Comer admitted that the hearing that the committee is holding isn’t an impeachment hearing, because the House hasn’t authorized an impeachment investigation. The hearing that Comer and Jordan are holding isn’t a real impeachment investigation hearing. Rep. Adam Schiff held authorized impeachment investigative hearings for Trump’s first impeachment because the House authorized the investigation. |

Trump’s sons, who are also defendants in the case, have run the company since Trump was elected president in 2016. |

The rest is here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Sep 23 - 09:24 PM The GOP attention has been laser-focused on Hunter Biden, as they try to suggest that someone who never had a job in the Biden administration is the same as Trump (or Trump's son-in-law Kushner, who took billions from the Saudi's the moment Trump was out of the White House). What Menendez has allegedly done is a problem, and you'd think they would grasp that, but he isn't in the Biden family or with the name, so they don't seem to care. And if Menendez did step down, the New Jersey governor could appoint someone to replace him. Since Murphy is Democrat, the balance remains in the Senate. Cassidy Hutchinson's book comes out Tuesday, and she's on Rachel Maddow's show tonight. What do you want to bet Trump won't resist tweeting or posting to Truth Social when her stories are in print for all to see (or during or after her interview airs). |

In the New York fraud case: Engoron told the courtroom that he intends to issue a single ruling by Tuesday that would decide the three major issues at question, including the government motion for partial summary judgment -- which could allow Engoron to decide a portion of or the entire case without a trial -- and New York Attorney General Letitia James' request to impose legal sanctions on the defendants. Meanwhile, Jack Smith has brought in a trusted deputy from the Hague to work on the January 6 case. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Sep 23 - 07:18 PM It's one thing to make a point on a related topic and move on, it's another to take that subject and drag the entire thread down an unrelated path. Detritus removed. I scrolled down the US tab in Google News this evening and it wasn't until the 21st grouped box that a Trump story appeared, and this time it's about Cassidy Hutchinson with Trump stories to tell. He's like a toddler who has been quiet for a while - it makes me think he's up to no-good. He's in the news so much, to the point that when he isn't in the news it seems to be when he finds a way to bring attention back to himself, and in his world, any attention is good attention. |

Instead of the media per se, Beschloss credits the rise of the Internet in the mid-1990s, and the beginning of "Fox News" (that isn't really a news site, it presents current events as entertainment). |

The Trump support tag team (aka the "Freedom Caucus" in the US House of Representatives) are having a go at Merrick Garland this morning in a sham hearing.

But his faux pas were of enthusiastic hugs or getting too close in personal space, and when he was told to stop it, he did. We lost a really good one there. Thanks, Kirsten, for watching out for the party. Not. I always thought he should have stayed. She's much less effective or helpful. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Sep 23 - 12:25 PM The US House of Representatives lost a member last week when Christ Stewart of Utah resigned due to his wife's health (a stroke). Stewart’s departure sets off a race to replace him on the Appropriations Committee, right as lawmakers feud over stopgap plans to fund the government before the month is out. His replacement won't be there until after the November special election, so the House has only a four member GOP margin. Trump will no doubt be dabbling in that kind of race, still trying to line up ducks to support him. As Rachel Maddow says, "#WatchThisSpace |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Sep 23 - 09:19 PM It isn't an impeachment, it is an impeachment inquiry. The research that happens first to see if there is a case for impeachment - big difference. There are some far right wingnuts who make a lot of threats but don't follow through as far as the Speaker of the House position. I'm hoping the Washington, D.C. case is pushed sooner on the calendar to keep Trump from having more time to intimidate everyone he hates. It is an option open to Judge Chutkan that would limit the damage, but she also needs to muzzle him somehow. I think the threat of jail would overburden the Secret Service, but he has it coming. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Sep 23 - 06:28 PM Special counsel asks for 'narrow' gag order for Trump in election interference case Jack Smith's office says Trump's "disparaging and inflammatory attacks" have spurred threats against witnesses and threaten the court process. "Like his previous public disinformation campaign regarding the 2020 presidential election, the defendant’s recent extrajudicial statements are intended to undermine public confidence in an institution—the judicial system—and to undermine confidence in and intimidate individuals—the Court, the jury pool, witnesses, and prosecutors," they wrote. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Sep 23 - 02:02 PM Delay, delay, delay - that is the game plan for the Trump defenders on all fronts. A hearing on Sept. 14 resulted in a possible delay because Trump is suing the judge in the New York civil fraud case that is scheduled to start in early October this year. Trump New York fraud case could be delayed after ex-president sues judge Trump has repeatedly sought to delay or throw out the case, and has repeatedly been rejected. But this time, the Daily Beast said, an appeals judge, David Friedman, “grant[ed] the former president’s request in a surprise hearing on Thursday that was closed off to the public”. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Sep 23 - 12:52 PM Fulton County judge rules DA can't try all 19 defendants together in Trump RICO case Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled Thursday in favor of severing the trials for 17 of the defendants, including former President Donald Trump, from that of two of the defendants in the election interference case. And on another front, the federal judge in the documents case restricted Trump's access to the documents in question. He isn't allowed to take them back to Mar a lago to peruse them at his leisure. But it took her an entire month to come up with a ruling that would normally have been rendered in a single day. She's slow-walking this for Trump. A lot of recent content and the attendant bickering was removed. Stick to talking about the cases. |

His version of things is now etched in stone - under oath, anything he said can and will be used against him. One of the group has filed to waive the arraignment hearing in Atlanta, filing a "not guilty" plea. I think it may have been discussed on MSNBC, I don't see it in the Google News stories I just pulled up. Trump, other defendants to be arraigned next week in Georgia election interference case. The rest will be arraigned next week on Wednesday. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Sep 23 - 12:48 AM Six Colorado voters sue to remove Trump from the state's 2024 ballot Their lawsuit contends that Trump should be disqualified from running in future elections because he violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment with his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Pretty much says it all. NBC doesn't have a firewall so people should be able to read this, but here is the gist of it: Their suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Denver, contends that Trump should be disqualified from running in future elections under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states that no person shall hold any office if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" after having taken an oath to support the Constitution. |

Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Sep 23 - 06:41 PM The First Amendment lets him speak about everything else, and his range of material is bizarrely huge and off-topic for any other politician out there. He collects what he considers injustices and must rant against them - this is where the threat of being fined keeps him in check. We hope. So far it has done nothing to remove him from the race (though the debate about the seditious acts and whether a court prosecution is required to remove him from running is ongoing). |

Like drug cartels there are probably lower-level thugs moving into the top positions. In a news story this week I heard them discuss how some of these groups have regular meetings and dues. The Southern Poverty Law Center gives a thorough history of the group. |

Raskin pointed out that if the Committee can investigate Hunter Biden, who never worked in government, they can also investigate Jared Kushner who worked in the Trump administration and then got billions of dollars from foreign governments. |
Subject: RE: BS: Trump INDICTED AGAIN x4 (NO new Trmp threads) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Aug 23 - 03:01 PM Old MOAB is way ahead, but you can only see it piecemeal when you do a search on a person and see any of their posts to open individually. Trump seems to have been knocked off of the front page by Idalia. And another blip on the political news radar is that CNN has a new leader after the pro-Trump Chris Licht was fired in June. Licht alienated and fired a lot of people before he was done, but now hopefully CNN can do more real news again. David Zaslav Says Mark Thompson Will Bring “Transformational Leadership” to CNN. Not like Trump ever liked CNN, but a network going from relatively neutral into the Trump Swamp was problematic. FAUX News is bad enough, along with a couple of the lesser stars (New Max, OAN) in the conservative news constellation. |

As long as they keep supporting Trump, they are irrelevant. The issues that will get people to the polls don't have to do with Trump; it has to do with the Supreme Court. You need to go to a more granular level.
