China Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 U.S. Asks Court to End Special Master Review of Files Seized From Trump The Justice Department asked an appeals court on Friday to end a special master review of thousands of documents that the F.B.I. seized from former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida estate, arguing that a federal judge had been wrong to intervene in its investigation into Mr. Trump’s hoarding of sensitive government records. In a 53-page brief before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, the Justice Department broadly challenged the legal legitimacy of orders last month by Judge Aileen M. Cannon, who blocked investigators from using the materials and appointed an independent arbiter to sift them for any that are potentially privileged or Mr. Trump’s personal property. The Justice Department already succeeded in persuading a panel of the Atlanta-based court to exempt about 100 documents marked classified from Judge Cannon’s move — a decision the Supreme Court declined to overturn this week. In its new filing, the Justice Department asked the appeals court to reverse her order for the remaining 11,000 or so documents. “This court has already granted the government’s motion to stay that unprecedented order insofar as it relates to the documents bearing classification markings,” the filing said. “The court should now reverse the order in its entirety for multiple independent reasons.” Click on the link for the full article 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those some sly foxes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Jan. 6 Capitol riot panel briefed on multiple calls between Secret Service and Oath Keepers, NBC News reports Staff members of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigative committee have been briefed on multiple phone calls in 2020 between an agent in the Secret Service’s protective intelligence division and members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, NBC News reported Friday. The House select committee on Friday requested from the Secret Service all records related to communications between the agency and the Oath Keepers, including any contacts leading up to and after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, NBC reported. The briefing to committee staff and subsequent records request was spurred by recent testimony at the ongoing federal criminal trial of Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, who is accused with other defendants of seditious conspiracy. Rhodes and his co-defendants are accused of plotting to stop the lawful transfer of power from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden. Former North Carolina Oath Keepers leader John Zimmerman earlier this month testified about seeing Rhodes speaking on the telephone with a person Zimmerman believed to be a Secret Service agent about what weapons the group’s members could carry at an upcoming rally by Trump in September 2020.

China Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Trump Was Betrayed by His Diet Coke Valet Donald Trump could ultimately be done in by his Diet Coke habit. Not physically (though drinking 12 diet sodas a day doesn’t seem great for your health) but legally. The Washington Post reports that his former White House valet — the man who had to respond every time the president pressed his famous Oval Office Diet Coke button — provided key evidence that led to the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago in August. A Trump employee told federal agents the former president personally directed them to move boxes of documents from a Mar-a-Lago storage area to his private residence, according to the Post. Hours later, the New York Times said this was corroborated by surveillance footage that showed the aide moving boxes both before and after Trump’s advisers received a subpoena from the Justice Department in May for classified documents taken from the White House. Together, the witness account and the footage provided the most direct evidence that Trump tried to illegally obstruct the government’s search. The Post’s original report said the witness’s account was a “closely held secret” within the Justice Department and FBI because authorities were “concerned that if or when the witness’s identity eventually becomes public, that person could face harassment or threats from Trump supporters.” But on Friday, the paper identified him as Walt Nauta. Nauta, 39, served in the Navy and worked his way up from being a cook in the White House mess to performing a key duty in the Trump administration: ensuring that the president was properly caffeine and aspartame fueled at all times. Nauta followed Trump to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his term, and campaign-finance records show he was on the payroll of Trump’s Save America PAC, making about $135,000 a year. It seems Trump’s trust wasn’t entirely misplaced; the Post reports that Nauta resisted betraying his boss at first but eventually changed his story: Quote When FBI agents first interviewed Nauta, he denied any role in moving boxes or sensitive documents, the people familiar with the situation said in interviews before Nauta’s name became public. But as investigators gathered more evidence, they questioned him a second time and he told a starkly different story — that Trump instructed him to move the boxes, these people said.

China Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Jamie Raskin Dismantles Trump’s ‘Snowflake’ Response To J6 Subpoena Appearing on MSNBC on Friday, House Jan 6 Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) dismantled former President Donald Trump’s 14-page response to a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. During his interview, Raskin told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that Trump was already “playing his silly games” with his reply. “I mean, that letter, including the use of the royal ‘we,’ which was pretty jarring, is just an outrageous distraction from the reality to the extent that there’s anything substance or substantive there,” he continued. Raskin then shut down Trump’s claim that Republicans “feel” the election was rigged, saying MAGA Republicans have as yet been unable to pinpoint to him how the vote was actually stolen. “They can’t say. They just have a feeling. And in fact, Trump uses that too in this enormously revealing letter, where he says lots of people ‘feel’ that there was fraud.” He added: “I’m sorry. Your feelings, Mr. Snowflake, cannot dictate the course of the future of the republic. No, your feelings cannot dictate our elections.” Click on the link for the full article 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 20 hours ago, China said: Trump wants to testify to the January 6 committee, but only if they broadcast it live, NYT reports Former President Donald Trump has told aides he might comply with a subpoena to testify before the Jan. 6 committee, as long as he can do so live, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported. According to Haberman, Trump has told aides he's not opposed to the idea of testifying before the committee, as long as it's on his terms. The information was a contribution by Haberman to The Times's live coverage of Thursday's committee hearing. Some of his aides appear not to be enthusiastic about the idea. "He should not," a Trump adviser bluntly told The Daily Beast. Most witnesses has testified behind closed doors, with the committee presenting clips prepared in advance to play in live hearings. Those with particularly notable testimony, such as former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, testified live after initially submitting evidence in private. If Trump testified he would have to do so under oath, risking perjury charges if were to lie. Click on the link for the full article You could make that a pay-per-view. Watch Trump lose his **** under the lights as Liz Cheney questions him. Nail him for perjury (there's no way he could keep from going off script). I think he just wants to brag that the Jan 6 hearing ratings for his testimony were "HUGE...biggest ratings ever for that time slot in the history of television" and how nobody was watching the "unselect committee"until he appeared. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
