I didn't think it was legal for authorities to just go digging into a person's financial information at will. Don't they have to have evidence or reasonable suspicion that a crime may have been committed? Don't they have to have warrants, etc? I haven't heard any legal justification for these endless searches. They can't just go snooping because they want to.

Every time they go after President Trump and his family, it just shows how absolutely corrupt the justice system has become. They just ignore the bidens.

Laugh and laugh and say "I don't recall" a few hundred times. Isn't that the established procedure?

Trump will never receive a square deal in the New York State courts, as all the people there who are Attorney General, Judges, and prosecutors are liberal Democrats who will do anything they can get away with to stop Trump from running for President again in the future. Trump will simply have to appeal to the higher court. I agree with #1 about a Democrat Attorney General going on a “fishing” expedition through the Trump family financial affairs at this point. As the Trumps have residing and and doing business in New York all their lives with no Democrats being interested in Trump family financial affairs as long as Trump contributed to local Democrat supported causes in New York. But all of a sudden after Trump announced that he was running for President, all that changed, with the Democrats going after Trump, his family, and especially their financial affairs, in a multitude of different ways trying to sabotage any future run for President that Trump may make.

Some of these things are good things. If the precedent is established going after Trump then the same can be used for going after Obama, Hillary and Biden. The Mar-a-lago incident is the perfect example. If they go after Trumps records as President then they can go after all the others. Trump has nothing to hide. He's squeaky clean. And the records that they have will have information on them to prove Trumps point. It's a trap. It's well planned out. Trump wants this to happen.

New York seems to suffer greatly with Prosecutorial Abuse... many Judges need to be removed from the Bench and thousands of lawyers need to be disbarred.

I'm sure, in private, our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump had a few choice words describing his feelings toward this judge - there could be a violation of the 14th Amendment, Section 1 playing out here.

Typical AP screed. Not a word about Engoron‘s pedigree or political affiliation, or his position in the judicial pecking order.

WASHINGTON— A federal judge on Friday rejected efforts by former President Donald Trump to toss out conspiracy lawsuits filed by lawmakers and two Capitol police officers, saying in his ruling that the former president’s words “plausibly” may have led to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said in his ruling that Trump’s words during a rally before the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol were likely “words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment.”Trump told his supporters to “Fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Anyone who has followed political journalism for more than a minute or two could predict how some big outlets would cover the revelation that operatives connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign spied on the Trump campaign. Once legacy media journalists saw the story reported on Fox News, and especially when they saw former President Donald Trump promoting it, they immediately thought: How can we knock this down?Normally, when news breaks — and the spying information was contained in a court filing by Justice Department special counsel John Durham — a news organization first reports the news. Then it might publish one or more analysis pieces,

Experts are warning that an increase in buried bodies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could be having an impact in the environment. In the U.S. alone, the number of people who have died with COVID-19 exceeded 900,000 this month and the number is increasing all the time. Around the world, the death toll is over 5.8 million according to the World Health Organization (WHO), though some estimates of excess mortality—a measure comparing all deaths recorded with those expected to occur—have put that figure close to 20 million. What this means is that burial facilities have faced unprecedented pressure as they attempt to allocate space and resources to store the bodies

Democrats are beginning to want change in the White House, whether it is a new strategy since the administration has minimal accomplishments or new top staffers surrounding President Joe Biden. While Biden’s poll numbers are falling — recently receiving his lowest approval numbers at 33 percent — it appears that he is failing on the political front, according to a recent report from NBC News. The report stated that the president’s message isn’t resonating with Americans. His party’s chances of keeping their congressional majority are slim, his Build Back Better plan is dead, he failed at fixing the Chinese coronavirus, and inflation is on the rise.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, the few that remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities. “The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who

So far, Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act hasn’t yielded any overt scenes of state power; no clouds of tear gas or columns of troops being marched into the capital. But it’s very different story within the Canadian financial sector. One of the most far-reaching implications of the Emergencies Act is what it prescribes for the Canadian financial system. According to the government’s new Emergency Economic Measures Order, every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.
