TGHusker Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Before long there will be just one - Orange Man Bad standing by himself. https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=104231281 Quote Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election. According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being "dishonest" with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in. "Obviously we didn't win," a source quoted Meadows as telling Smith's team in hindsight. Trump has called Meadows, one of the former president's closest and highest-ranking aides in the White House, a "special friend" and "a great chief of staff -- as good as it gets." The descriptions of what Meadows allegedly told investigators shed further light on the evidence Smith's team has amassed as it prosecutes Trump for allegedly trying to unlawfully retain power and "spread lies" about the 2020 election. The descriptions also expose how far Trump loyalists like Meadows have gone to support and defend Trump. Sources told ABC News that Smith's investigators were keenly interested in questioning Meadows about election-related conversations he had with Trump during his final months in office, and whether Meadows actually believed some of the claims he included in a book he published after Trump left office -- a book that promised to "correct the record" on Trump. 2 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I can see why people are fed up with the two tiered justice going on and that anyone else would be in a cold cell right now but then again, losing on appeal would only make it worse 1 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Daughter may be forced to testify. Trump may not allow her to sit on his lap after the prosecutor gets done with questioning her. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-orders-ivanka-trump-testify-250-million-fraud-case-rcna122482 Quote The judge overseeing the $250 million civil trial against Donald Trump and his company ordered the former president's daughter Ivanka Trump to testify in the case. Judge Arthur Engoron said Friday she could not be called as a witness before Nov. 1, giving her time to appeal the ruling if she chooses. Trump's attorneys had challenged New York Attorney General Letitia James' subpoena to Ivanka Trump, noting an appeals court had ruled earlier this year that she should be dropped as a defendant in the case over statute of limitations issues. They contended the AG's office was trying "to continue to harass and burden President Trump’s daughter long after" the appeals court "mandated she be dismissed from the case." They also argued that the AG waited too long to subpoena her, and argued the office doesn't have jurisdiction over her because she no longer lives in the state. The AG's office countered that Ivanka Trump, a former White House official, still has information important to their case. "While no longer a Defendant in this action, she indisputably has personal knowledge of facts relevant to the claims against the remaining individual and entity Defendants. But even beyond that, Ms. Trump remains financially and professionally intertwined with the Trump Organization and other Defendants and can be called as a person still under their control," the AG contended in a court filing. The office said it wanted to ask her questions about Trump's former Washington, D.C. hotel, and noted she profited from the sale. "Ms. Trump remains under the control of the Trump Organization, including through her ongoing and substantial business ties to the organization," the AG argued, adding that she "does not seem to be averse to her involvement in the family business when it comes to owning and collecting proceeds from the OPO (hotel) sale, the Trump Organization purchasing insurance for her and her companies, managing her household staff and credit card bills, renting her apartment or even paying her legal fees in this action. It is only when she is tasked with answering for that involvement that she disclaims any connection." 1 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Judge Cannon, trump appointee, waffling on start date of Documents Case. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/01/trump-judge-classified-documents-trial-delay-00124887 Quote “I’m just having a hard time seeing how realistically this work can be accomplished in this compressed period of time, given the realities that we’re facing,” U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon told lawyers at a hearing here on Wednesday. Cannon made no immediate ruling on Trump’s bid for a postponement, but she sounded highly skeptical of claims by prosecutors that the case could be kept more or less on pace with the schedule she set in July. Aspects of that schedule, she said, are now impractical due to difficulties already encountered with sensitive documents related to the case. Cannon, whom Trump appointed to the federal bench in 2020, said she would make “reasonable adjustments” to the schedule — such as deadlines for pretrial filings — but did not explicitly say she planned to delay the trial date, which prosecutors urged her to leave unchanged. However, any delay in the pretrial proceedings could create a ripple effect that postpones the trial itself. Cannon said she’d set a new timeline “as soon as possible.” 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 This is a lawyer that knows she's losing. I love it that they are framing the case as "bringing his CHILDREN in...away from their families". What a load of s#!t. These "children" spend way more time away from their families than the average joe just to go have fun. 1 Link to comment
