It is interesting they don’t mention the Ted Kennedy gambit with the USSR in the early 80’s.  Hmm, a prominent Democrat colluding with the Russians.  I wonder if this is where Hillary learned her tactics.

Makes me think of my favorite VJ I-751 filings 

 

Despite that, Monday’s nearly 5,000-page court filing by his lawyers detailed his inability to get a bond to secure the full judgment.

I am thinking there will be a last minute handshake billionaire that will step in …heck Ivanka’s brother in law could cover it without batting an eyelid.  Filing is a ploy for delay

Gotta love it when a political prosecutor can crash a business for a "crime" that has no victims.  This smacks of the need for making these "public servants" legally liable for their actions while in office.

I doubt it, the bar is way to high.  It might be in Trump's best interest to walk away from the cesspool that is NYC.  Maybe open his buildings up for illegal immigrants before the state confiscates the properties.

Brilliant idea that might also include tax credits!

Pro-Trump attorney arrested after court hearing about leaked Dominion emails
 

CNN — 

A pro-Trump lawyer who tried to overturn the 2020 election was arrested Monday after a court hearing about her recent leak of internal emails belonging to Dominion Voting Systems.

There was an existing arrest warrant for the attorney, Stefanie Lambert, stemming from her failure to appear at recent court hearings in her separate criminal case in Michigan, where she was charged with conspiring to seize voting machines after the 2020 election.

Man accused of firing gun from scaffolding during Jan. 6 Capitol riot arrested

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Illinois man accused of climbing scaffolding and firing a gun in the air during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was arrested Friday.

 

Someone reported him to the FBI in February 2021 after seeing his photo on a website for people wanted in connection with Jan. 6, according to court documents. Investigators confirmed his identity after he replied to an online post of his wanted poster with a video that appeared to show him racking the slide of a gun.

 

He told an agent that many of his posts were done by artificial intelligence and any weapons were fake, but interviewing him allowed the FBI to match him with photos from the riot, according to court documents.

And yet the vaunted FBI cannot find the person with the bolt cutters opening the fence.  Btw, I thought January 6th was an insurrection, this describes it as a riot.

1 of 6 former officers in Mississippi gets 40 years for racist torture of 2 Black men

 

A fourth former Mississippi sheriff’s deputy was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in federal prison for his part in the racist torture of two Black men by a group of white officers who called themselves the “Goon Squad.” 

Christian Dedmon, 29, did not look at the victims as he apologized and said he’d never forgive himself for the pain he caused.

All six former officers charged in the torture pleaded guilty last year, admitting that they subjected Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker to numerous acts of racist torture in January 2023 after a neighbor complained that the men were staying in a home with a white woman. Prosecutors said Dedmon slapped the men with a sex toy and threatened to brutalize them with it.

 

All six former officers pleaded guilty last year to breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing the Black men with a stun gun, a sex toy and other objects.

On Tuesday, Lee gave a nearly 20-year prison sentence to Hunter Elward, 31, and a 17.5-year sentence to Middleton, 46, calling their actions “egregious and despicable.” They, like Opdyke and Dedmon, worked as Rankin County sheriff’s deputies during the attack.

Another former deputy, Brett McAlpin, 53, and a former Richland police officer, Joshua Hartfield, 32, are set for sentencing Thursday.

Last March, months before federal prosecutors announced charges in August, an investigation by The Associated Press linked some of the deputies to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries.

Lara Trump's dream RNC hire was previously linked to lewd photos on Craigslist

Trump wants to hire QAnon conspiracy theorist and right-wing activist Scott Presler, who allegedly posted sexually explicit photos of himself in an RNC office on Craigslist in 2016

 

Presler has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory dozens of times on Instagram and was on the U.S. Capitol grounds during the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Additionally, Presler has worked for Act for America, an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has described as an “anti-Muslim hate group."

In January, Presler appeared on former Trump strategist Steve Bannon's War Room podcast to attack then-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.

The RNC also recently hired former Trump attorney and former OAN host Christina Bobb as “senior counsel for election integrity.”

Lara Trump Wants to Hire a QAnon-Pushing Election Denier to the RNC

 

Donald Trump’s takeover of the Republican National Committee is going about as expected. In the week since Michael Whatley, an election denier, and Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, were elected as chair and co-chair, the RNC has slashed 60 staffers while hiring Christina Bobb, a former Trump lawyer who literally wrote a book about the false idea that the 2020 election was rigged, as its new election integrity counsel.
