"So much winning": Trump's bid to dodge NY judge he hates shot down after surprise witness backfires

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%22So+much+winning%22%3A+Trump%27s+bid+to+dodge+NY+judge+he+hates+shot+down+after+surprise+witness+backfires

A federal judge on Tuesday was unswayed by former President Donald Trump's request to move his hush-money case from a New York state court to federal court, leaving the case before the same judge who sentenced the Trump Organization for tax fraud earlier this year.

After a three-hour hearing that yielded poor results for Trump's team, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein indicated that he would rule against the former president in the days to come. According to The Daily Beast, Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, failed to prove that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case prompts legal concerns that are better addressed in federal court such as "matters relating to whether a president can be sued for conduct relating to his official duties or committing federal crimes, as opposed to local ones."

The judge, instead, countered that all of Trump's alleged crimes revolve around his personal affairs.

A federal judge on Tuesday was unswayed by former President Donald Trump's request to move his hush-money case from a New York state court to federal court, leaving the case before the same judge who sentenced the Trump Organization for tax fraud earlier this year.

After a three-hour hearing that yielded poor results for Trump's team, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein indicated that he would rule against the former president in the days to come. According to The Daily Beast, Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, failed to prove that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case prompts legal concerns that are better addressed in federal court such as "matters relating to whether a president can be sued for conduct relating to his official duties or committing federal crimes, as opposed to local ones."

The judge, instead, countered that all of Trump's alleged crimes revolve around his personal affairs.

"There's no relation to any act of the president," Hellerstein said, calling Trump's relationship with lawyer Michael Cohen, who illegally paid off an adult film star, a "private hiring."

Trump was indicted in late March over his alleged role in the scheme to pay off adult film actress Stormy Daniels in an effort to keep knowledge of their alleged extramarital affair from nearly a decade prior away from the public. Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up the $130,000 expense and the $420,000 reimbursement he later gave Cohen.

Cohen was sent to federal prison for his role in the scheme in 2019, but Trump, who was still president, evaded prosecution at the time. Bragg's predecessor, Cyrus Vance, however, launched an investigation into Trump, which ended in Bragg convening the grand jury this year that voted to indict him.

A tried and true method.  Attack the judge, the prosecutor, the witnesses, the victim, the very notion of common sense, etc...

I mean, it's worked out great for him so far.  Right?

Trump hits the panic button: Antisemitic attacks on special counsel Jack Smith betray desperation

As detailed in historian George Fredrickson's landmark book "Racism: A Short History," there is a complex and overlapping relationship between the "religious" antisemitism of the European Middle Ages, the racist and white supremacist project of white-on-black chattel slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and then the Nazism and racial antisemitism of the 20th century. This translates into a type of path dependency, if not inevitable outcome: As the "conservative" movement becomes increasingly racist and white supremacist, it then becomes increasingly antisemitic.

Following his arrest and indictment in Miami for allegedly violating the Espionage Act, Donald Trump flew back to his golf resort in New Jersey, where in a speech to his MAGA cultists, the traitor ex-president railed against special counsel Jack Smith with racist and antisemitic tropes and stereotypes.

Donald Trump on Monday night responded to newly obtained audio of the former president discussing his retention of secret documents, acknowledging their classified status, and joking about how it was too late to declassify them.

The tape, first obtained by CNN, was allegedly made at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, in 2021. Its existence and part of its transcript were reported earlier this month by CNN.

In the two-minute tape, Trump can be heard shuffling records and describing his “big pile of paper” to the people in the room. “Isn’t it amazing?… They presented me this—this is off the record,” Trump says, apparently in reference to a document concerning Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Two other people make noises of astonishment at what they’re being shown.


As Trump goes on to call the records “highly confidential” and full of “secret information,” a staffer in the room turns the conversation to Hillary Clinton, mocking her for printing out “her private emails.”

Trump responds, “No, she’d send it to Anthony Weiner.”

Posting to Truth Social after the release of the audio, Trump took aim at prosecutor Jack Smith and claimed, without explaining, that the audio is an exoneration of his alleged crimes.

“The Deranged Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the DOJ & FBI, illegally leaked and ‘spun’ a tape and transcript of me which is actually an exoneration, rather than what they would have you believe,” Trump wrote.

The former president added: “This continuing Witch Hunt is another ELECTION INTERFERENCE Scam. They are cheaters and thugs!”

The "winning" continues. 

Now cue in the crybabies with their usual "libs, lefties, Dems, etc.."   While completing ignoring the FACT that it is the Republicans who are the ones providing all of the evidence against him.  You know, the "only the best" that he hired to work for him.   :D   Not the Democrats, not Pelosi or Schiff or AOC. It’s Mark Meadows, Giuliani and literally everyone who was in Trump’s administration, or worked for him privately and his close friends.

Good times!

“Indictment 2.0”: Experts say Smith may be preparing new Trump charges as grand jury probe resumes

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%E2%80%9CIndictment+2.0%E2%80%9D%3A+Experts+say+Smith+may+be+preparing+new+Trump+charges+as+grand+jury+probe+resumes

The Florida grand jury that indicted former President Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents is still investigating aspects of the case and issued subpoenas to multiple people in recent days, according to The New York Times and CNN.

The grand jury issued subpoenas to a "handful" of people but it's unclear who received them, according to the Times, which noted that "post-indictment investigations can result in additional charges against people who have already been accused of crimes in the case" as well as charges against new defendants.

The indictment against Trump and his co-defendant Walt Nauta "left out several threads investigators pursued as recently as May," according to CNN, including possible gaps in surveillance footage and the handling of classified documents at Trump's Bedminster, N.J. golf club, where he was recorded discussing a classified document he admitted he did not declassify.

Prosecutors may be preparing to seek indictments against multiple people in Trump's orbit and may bring additional charges against the president in coming weeks, according to a report from The Independent's Andrew Feinberg.

Sources familiar with the matter told the outlet that the Justice Department is preparing to bring a "superseding indictment" with a second set of charges that "could include more serious crimes."

The report noted that prosecutors may also choose to bring additional charges in a different venue than the Southern District of Florida. Prosecutors' decision would depend on whether they feel Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, who is handling the case, is "giving undue deference" to the former president, according to Feinberg.

The superseding indictment may include an "additional 30 to 45 charges," according to the report, based on evidence against Trump "that has not yet been publicly acknowledged by the department, including other recordings prosecutors have obtained which reveal Mr. Trump making incriminating statements."

Smith's team is also ready to bring charges against several of Trump's attorneys, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani met with prosecutors for a proffer deal session that could allow him to avoid potential charges in exchange for information.

A Giuliani spokesperson told The Independent that the meeting "was entirely voluntary and conducted in a professional manner" but declined to elaborate further.

The grand jury issuing new subpoenas "tells me they're looking at either additional people or additional charges," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN on Thursday, suggesting that prosecutors could bring "indictment 2.0."

"A superseding indictment adding additional charges and potentially additional defendants is pretty common in a complex case as the investigation continues and collects more evidence," former federal prosecutor Noah Bookbinder, the head of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, wrote on Twitter. "That one is reportedly likely for Donald Trump is ominous for him though."

National security attorney Bradley Moss highlighted the new reports on Twitter, writing, "just remember, it's always darkest just before it goes pitch black."

The grand jury issuing new subpoenas "tells me they're looking at either additional people or additional charges," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN on Thursday, suggesting that prosecutors could bring "indictment 2.0."

"A superseding indictment adding additional charges and potentially additional defendants is pretty common in a complex case as the investigation continues and collects more evidence," former federal prosecutor Noah Bookbinder, the head of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, wrote on Twitter. "That one is reportedly likely for Donald Trump is ominous for him though."

National security attorney Bradley Moss highlighted the new reports on Twitter, writing, "just remember, it's always darkest just before it goes pitch black."

Because deep down they know it’s not “fake” and they need someone to blame other than their own party.  Or Trumpy own fault.

How's that winning coming along?  Is "winning" actually a code word for "hypocrisy"?

You can't believe a word this orange loser says.   :D    Except the retards do.

Former President Donald Trump was deeply critical of the notion of a candidate running for president under indictment in 2016, seven years before he was arrested twice on felony charges during his 2024 presidential campaign.

In 2016 comments unearthed by CNN’s KFile on Monday, Trump slammed his then-opponent, Hillary Clinton, saying she had “no right” to run for president because she was under federal investigation over her handling of classified information on a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

“We could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial,” Trump said at a Nov. 5, 2016, campaign rally in Reno, Nevada. “It would grind government to a halt.”

At another rally on Nov. 3, 2016, in Concord, North Carolina, Trump said it would “create an unprecedented constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our government” if Clinton won the election while under investigation.

“She has no right to be running,” he said.

Trump, the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was indicted last month on 37 felony counts in connection to his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House. Federal prosecutors presented evidence that he knowingly broke the law, obstructed their investigation and refused to return sensitive documents despite repeated government efforts to retrieve them.

In April, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office charged him with 34 felony counts in a separate case involving an alleged scheme to cover up an affair via hush money payments in order to influence the 2016 presidential election.

No charges were brought against Clinton. Though the Justice Department probe determined that her office had been “extremely careless” in its handling of classified information, investigators concluded she had not acted with criminal intent.

Trump has repeatedly called for the prosecution and jailing of rivals and adversaries accused of mishandling classified information.

Some of his public comments on the subject were cited by prosecutors in his indictment last month. The document listed Trump’s remarks from campaign speeches in 2016 about the importance of protecting classified information ― suggesting he was aware of how serious it was to fail to do so.

“We can’t have someone in the Oval Office who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified,” Trump said on Sept. 6, 2016.

How's that little excuse about "there is no declassification process" holding up?  We put that little lie to bed a year ago.   :D
Weird that it has to be repeated for the peanuts in the back.

Looks Like Trump's 'Standing Order' To Declassify Documents Was Not A Thing

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Looks+Like+Trump%27s+%27Standing+Order%27+To+Declassify+Documents+Was+Not+A+Thing

Last year, Donald Trump argued that he had issued a “standing order” to automatically declassify any documents he took from the White House. As it turns out, federal agencies that would know about such a thing have no record of any such order, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.

In August, after Trump made the widely doubted claim, Bloomberg said it filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Justice Department’s national security division and with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, requesting a copy of Trump’s alleged order.

Government attorneys confirmed in a letter to Bloomberg on Thursday that the agencies possessed “no records responsive to your request.”

The disclosure was prompted after a judge in a similar case in Massachusetts ordered the agencies to confirm whether records referencing the standing order exist, according to Bloomberg.


On Aug. 8, FBI agents with a warrant searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, retrieving boxes of secret documents the government said Trump improperly took and refused to return.

Trump immediately produced a variety of excuses. His team released a statement days later, arguing that Trump “had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them.”

However, even officials from his own administration cast doubt on that assertion, saying they had no recollection of any such order and describing the idea as absurd.

Trump’s own former national security adviser John Bolton said Trump’s claim was “complete fiction.”

Earlier this month, federal prosecutors indicted Trump on 37 felony counts in the case, accusing him of risking national security, mishandling classified information and obstructing government efforts to retrieve it.

A bombshell audio recording obtained by CNN this week also undermines Trump’s “standing order” defense. In the July 2021 clip, recorded at a meeting with book researchers at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump is heard discussing “highly confidential” documents in his possession that he admits he did not declassify as president.

“See, as president I could have declassified it,” Trump says in the clip, after describing a document he said he obtained from the Defense Department. “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”

Trump has since trotted out a new excuse: He wasn’t showing off any secret documents. It was golf course plans, he said, and his talk was just “bravado.”

Send more money though.  Trump University principles at work here.  Trump always surrounds himself with the most qualified ethical people.  Who can't seem to stay out of investigations, indictments or jail.

Prosecutors charge three investors with insider trading in Trump SPAC deal

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Prosecutors+charge+three+investors+with+insider+trading+in+Trump+SPAC+deal

The three men charged in the indictment are Michael Shvartsman, Gerald Shvartsman and Bruce Garelick, who served as a director on Digital World's board of directors. All three have surrendered to authorities and are expected to appear in federal court in Miami later Thursday, a law enforcement official said.

Federal prosecutors arrested three investors on Thursday on insider trading charges related to a deal to take former President Donald Trump’s media business public.

According to the indictment, the three individuals together made more than $22 million in October 2021 by illegally trading on nonpublic knowledge of Digital World Acquisition Corporation’s secret plan to buy Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group.

The defendants allegedly tipped off friends and colleagues, who also purchased securities in Digital World before the blank-check firm’s Trump Media deal became public.

Once the deal was announced, the value of those securities spiked. The defendants and individuals they tipped off then sold their securities for a significant profit, according to prosecutors.

Trump claims he'll declassify all of the JFK-related assassination records if he's reelected. He said the same thing in 2016, but ended up siding with the CIA and FBI to keep the documents secret.
