Trump Judges "Split the Baby"
To avoid the perception of bias, judges have allowed Trump to delay justice with frivolous motions and make unsubstantiated accusations against his prosecutors.
In the Georgia RICO case Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon tossed some of the charges on technical grounds, despite there being "ample evidence." She also denied a motion to disqualify DA Fani Willis for "lack of evidence," but then criticized her for the "appearance" of misconduct. In the Florida classified documents case, the Judge ruled against Trump's frivolous claims that the law is unconstitutionally vague, but strangely said Trump's arguments warrant “serious consideration.” She has also failed to rule on Trump's outrageous claims of absolute immunity that have indefinitely delayed his election interference trial. Trump has effectively delayed criminal accountability by exploiting judges fearful of appearing biased and therefore willing to legally "split the baby" for Trump.
Trump's Chief of Staff Granted Immunity
Mark Meadows joins a growing list of Trump's inner circle and attorneys that are cooperating with state and federal prosecutors to save themselves.
ABC News reports that Trump's former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, has been cooperating with federal prosecutors and was granted immunity to testify under oath. Meadows helped Trump spread the Big Lie of election fraud and was with Trump during the January 6 Attack on the Capitol. Although not charged in federal court, Meadows has been indicted as Trump's co-conspirator for violating the Georgia RICO act and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.
2nd Trump Coup Attorney Pleads Guilty
The architect of Trump's fake elector plot pleads guilty to a felony "Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents" and agrees to testify against Trump and his co-conspirators.
Trump's co-defendants are starting to fall like dominos in Fulton County. Kenneth Chesebro is the second Trump coup attorney to accept a plea deal that requires him to testify against Trump and the other RICO co-conspirators charged in the Georgia election fraud trial. Chesebro admitted that he conspired with Donald Trump and his attorneys Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman to put forward "fake electors" in an illegal attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
21 Unindicted Co-Conspirators
The Georgia special grand jury recommended charging Senator Lindsey Graham and other top Republicans Trump allies.
Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis has had a busy 24-hours. First, she asked a judge to protect future Trump jurors from intimidation. Then, she publicly dismantled House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan's request for more information on the case, calling it "unjustified and illegal intrusion into an open state criminal prosecution." And finally, the released Fulton County special grand jury report recommended criminal charges against 21 additional Trump unindicted co-conspirators including GOP Senators Lindsey Graham, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, Trump's national security advisor Michael Flynn, and the current Georgia Lt. Governor Burt Jones.
Completely Without Merit
Courts are rejecting Trump and his co-conspirators efforts to use unsound legal theories and delay tactics to prevent legal accountability.
Trump’s coup attorney Kenneth Chesebro was blocked from having his case severed from co-defendant in the Georgia racketeering criminal case. Then, Trump lost a summary judgement when the judge ruled that Trump is liable for continuing to deny that he sexually assaulted e. Jean Caroll. And, a third judge rejected Trump’s efforts to delay the October 2nd business fraud trial saying Trump’s arguments are “completely without merit.”
Trump's Political Theater
All eyes will be on Georgia as Judge rules that the Trump's racketeering and election interference criminal trial will be streamed live.
Donald Trump's attacks against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are dividing the Georgia Republican Party leadership. Trump's MAGA supporters are threatening political violence unless the DA is impeached for bringing 13 criminal charges against Trump. Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp slammed his fellow Republicans for wanting to remove Willis as “political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment.”
Rudy Giuliani Exposed as a Racist Liar
A federal judge has ruled that Rudy Giuliani is legally liable for spreading racist lies about two black election workers who became the target of conspiracy theories and death threats.
Sometimes, bad things happen to bad people. For the last 30 years, Rudy Giuliani has been accused of pedaling racist election lies and conspiracy theories. In 2020, Giuliani was a leading architect and front man for Trump's Big Lie and is facing criminal indictments for trying to overturn the election. Now, a federal judge has ruled that Giuliani must pay damages for baselessly accusing two black election workers of "passing around USB ports as if they are vials of heroin or cocaine."
We Want to Kill You
Donald Trump's use of a word - that rhymes with the n-word - to attack black prosecutors is trending on social media with dangerous results.
Trump is using disgusting racial slurs and threats of violence to intimidate judges, prosecutors, and even potential jurors in his four criminal cases. Right wing websites that have repeated Trump's racist slurs have exploded with threats of violence. The FBI arrested a Texas woman who threatened to murder the judge overseeing Trump's federal Jan. 6 indictment calling her a "slave," and threatening, “you are in our sights, we want to kill you.”
The State of Georgia V. Donald John Trump
“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.”
Defendants Donald John Trump, 18 indicted co-defendants, and others, “constituted a criminal organization whose members and associates engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, act involving theft, and perjury.”
Trump Can't Handle the Truth!
A Georgia grand jury has rejected Trump's lies of widespread election fraud and "believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more of the witnesses."
There is no law against a politician lying to their voters, but lying in court has severe consequences. That is why Trump, his inner circle, his attorneys, and even his former vice-president are desperately fighting multiple subpoenas to avoid telling the truth in court.
Trump's No Good, Very Bad Day
Trump lost in court, is facing new criminal referrals, and suffered an embarrassing political defeat all in one day.
Tuesday was an especially bad day for Donald Trump. A New York jury convicted Trump owned organizations of 17 counts related to tax evasion and fraud. Chairman Thompson announced that the January 6 Committee will make criminal referrals for the attack on the Capitol and attempted coup. Trump's handpicked candidate, Herschel Walker lost to Georgia Senator Warnock, giving Democrats a 51 seat majority in the Senate.
