#jan6

An embarrassing episode epitomizes the #GOP’s failures to pin down #JackSmith #Republicans have struggled mightily to substantiate Trump’s desire for Smith to be charged criminally. But rarely has it seemed to backfire like it did Tuesday. Sen #EricSchmitt of Missouri crafted an apparent #ConspiracyTheory about Smith being tied to the prosecution of #Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. #law #ElectionInterference #SeditiousConspiracy #Jan6 #insurrection #PoliticalViolence

Republicans confirm Trump Attorney #ToddBlanche after they confirmed #PamBondi. #DOJ is now using #tax money to file frivolous lawsuits and ignore all Republican crimes while attacking anyone who shines a light on the #MAGA #fraud. The problem is US Republicans confirming the entire Administration they NOW ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM because the polling is so bad they have to attack the #vote itself. The same process was used on #January6th#jan6#USpol#premarket#investing#NoKings

Even if US Democrats win by large margins in November, expect US Republicans to disrupt the transition to the 120 Congress the same way #MAGA stole 200 years of peaceful transitions away from every US citizen on #Jan6#Jan6th#USPol#Vote#NoKings

In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest. #Trump #whitewashing #RevisionistHistory #propaganda #law #ElectionInterference #BigLie #coup #SeditiousConspiracy #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

WTF??? Judge dismisses #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy charges against #OathKeepers While taking the last step in the legal process to wipe out penalties from the #insurrection, the judge also criticized the #DOJ for undoing the most serious convictions. #Trump #whitewashing #RevisionistHistory #propaganda #law #ElectionInterference #BigLie #coup #ConspiracyTheories #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

A federal judge on Tuesday agreed to dismiss the #SeditiousConspiracy case against the leader of the #OathKeepers, #StewartRhodes, & 7 other members of the #extremist group who planned to storm the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021. The ruling by US District Judge Amit P. Mehta is the last step in the legal process to wipe out penalties from the Jan 6 #insurrection, cementing #Trump’s bid to unravel the largest federal investigation in US #history [& erase the truth of his crimes]. #law #coup

New: The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust v. Capital One, N.A. (25-cv-21596) District Court, S.D. Florida https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69853458/the-donald-j-trump-revocable-trust-v-capital-one-na/

those documents [attached to SAC] and Plaintiffs’ own allegations make clear that Capital One closed Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (“AML”) reasons.

Capital One’s decision to close Plaintiffs’ accounts only became public because of Plaintiffs’ own decision to pursue this litigation.

Bank accounts held by #Trump were closed by #CapitalOne in 2021 after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of #MoneyLaundering, the bank disclosed in a court filing over the weekend. The filing is tied to a lawsuit filed against CapitalOne by one of Trump’s financial holding companies shortly after he was sworn into office a 2nd time. Trump alleges CapitalOne closed his accounts for political reasons, following the #Jan6 insurrection. #criminal #law

“American society’s use of Civil War to rhetorically veil the slaveholders’ rebellion has consequences. After the redemption of the Confederacy, ex-Confederates and their heirs helped create a regime of anti-Black violence by instituting a legal architecture of disenfranchisement and lynching. That is what makes confronting how we refer to the Civil War a civic imperative.” #uspoli #slavery #jan6

In June, #ToddBlanche said he would drop a proposed $1.8 billion fund to compensate so-called “victims”🙄 [ #Jan6 insurgents] of Biden-era actions by the #DOJ but said a provision shielding #Trump & his family from tax investigations would remain in place. #law #LegalEthics #SlushFund

In my conversations with President #Trump since then, I have stressed that we do not need to share the same worldview to pursue a mutually beneficial relationship between our countries. After all, we lead the two largest #democracies & economies in the #Americas. #Lula #Brazil #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro

…The attempted mission by the #Trump officials marked an escalation in a lengthy feud between the #US & #Brazil over the limits of #FreedomOfExpression & the #criminal case against Trump ally former president #JairBolsonaro, who is under house arrest after being #convicted of attempting to lead an armed #coup & other charges [that was inspired by Trump’s #Jan6 coup attempt]. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #BigLie

Finally, #Schiff talked at length about Trump's ultimate #corruption — Suing the #IRS (so essentially suing himself since he puts people in power in the IRS) to create a "slush fund" to reward those loyal to him, incl. violent #Jan6 offenders. Schiff said the "grand total" of Trump's "Top 10" acts of corruption is ~$6 billion to American taxpayers. 👀 Schiff also said that #trump bought #NVIDIA stock BEFORE he approved the company's major overseas sales deal 👀🤯 /9 #USA #US #USpol #PayToPlay

#Trump claimed that intelligence agencies covered up China’s attempt to disrupt US #elections. But Trump appointed the very people who led those intelligence agencies in 2020. Indeed, Trump was given the assessment from those agencies on Jan. 7, 2021, that no foreign country tried to change vote totals or fake ballots in the election. There’s no record of him objecting to the finding at the time. #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #coup #Jan6

#EdMartin was given personal control of two investigations he had long championed∶ Investigating the prosecutions of #Jan6 insurgents — even though all of those convicted, including #violent #criminals, received clemency from #Trump — & a probe into President Biden’s use of an autopen. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #ToddBlanche #Trump #retribution

#JaredWise, a former #Jan6 defendant [for real] who was assigned to Blanche’s team, also worked on the investigation into the Capitol #insurrection but resigned earlier this year, saying on social media that he could only “expose the abuses by the FBI & DOJ against J6 defendants” from outside government. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #ToddBlanche #Trump #retribution

Get over it! #SoreLoser! #Trump is planning a prime-time address on #2020election allegations. Tomorrow night, Trump will argue that the country’s election infrastructure has vulnerabilities & refer to a recent probe of government files.
