WASHINGTON - A new judge took over leadership of the U.S. trial court in Washington on Friday, inheriting oversight of secret proceedings involving special counsel criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents and efforts by him and his allies to undo his 2020 election loss. James "Jeb" Boasberg became chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, replacing Judge Beryl Howell as her seven-year term comes to an end.CORRECTION*

Further down in the article...... ~~"Boasberg, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, has served on the court since 2011. He previously was picked in 2002 by Republican President George W. Bush for the local D.C. Superior Court. Both times he was easily confirmed by the U.S. Senate."~~

The many Knotseez fooled the FISA Court judges. Heck, the "Leaker" is probably happy that Michael Chertoff has given up.

This is all sorts of wrong. Obama and Clinton have hundreds of thousands of pages of classified documents. Biden has thousands in the garage and trunk of his car. And this is what they are hanging their hat on to get Trump? Unbelievable.

An interesting observation expressed elsewhere seems appropriate to be shared the essence of which is, “There are no coincidences”. The comment: “Is it a coincidence that the news cycle is claiming that both Trump and Putin should be arrested soon on the exact same day? Almost feels coordinated if I position my tin foil hat a certain way.” https://radiopatriot.net/2023/03/17/there-are-no-coincidences-5/

“…secret proceedings involving special counsel criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents and efforts by him and his allies to undo his 2020 election loss. ” Secret proceedings…how disgusting. And when did the documents that the CiC had the authority to declassify become about the 2020 election…I thought they were supposedly about nuclear secrets or something? Trump won and they know it.

Why are the proceedings secret? What are you "so called" honorable people hiding this time? We all know that this is still because Donald Trump is running for POTUS again and you are terrified of him.

Trump is as unpopular now as Nixon was back in the 70s. Information is now being found in the personal notes in the libraries of many deceased principals of the Watergate probe indicating that they illegally colluded. Congressmen, prosecutors and Judge Sericka illegally met and shared evidence, including secret grand jury evidence, and discussed how to prosecute and/or impeach Nixon. John Dean was the "mastermind" behind the 2 (yes2) Watergate break ins and the cover up but turned fink to save his own a s s. The "plumbers" did not get fair trials, the prosecution was corrupt and Nixon was guilty of believing his staff and accepting Dean's advice. Nixon may have prevailed in a Senate impeachment trial if all evidence was exposed but he resigned to save the country from division just as when he refused to challenge the 1960 election results. Hated to this day, IMO Nixon was a patriot who sacrificed his legacy for his country's sake.

Manhattan DA Pursuing Felony Against Trump
Has History of Reducing Charges Against Others

Posted by Imright 3/19/2023 6:19:19 AM Post Reply
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is expected to bring felony charges against former President Donald Trump next week related to payments made in 2016 to settle rumors of an extramarital affair. The charges, which Bragg upgraded from a misdemeanor class, stand in stark contrast to the prosecutor’s history of reducing charges against the majority of cases on his watch. Since taking office last year, DA Bragg has downgraded approximately 52 percent of all cases brought before his office. A significant portion of these cases involved reducing felony charges to misdemeanors. Under Bragg’s predecessor, less than 40 percent of cases were comprised of similar downgrades.

It brings the total number of encounters for the 2023 fiscal year to 69, which is on the trajectory to exceeding the 98 encounters made in the year prior. It comes as Republicans demand answers for why the Biden administration is spending millions to store unused border wall panels as the country is inundated with illegal migrants risking their lives to cross onto American soil, and enough drugs to kill five times the population of the U.S. flood in.

“He can run but he can’t hide,” legendary boxer Joe Louis once said about an opponent. These days, the same thing might be said about the president of the United States. At a crucial moment of his tenure, Joe Biden is repeatedly refusing to take questions. The odd ducking and weaving have even the normally docile White House press corps in an uproar. Why won’t he answer us, they demand to know. The question answers itself — Biden won‘t face the media because he’s got something to hide. But as with Joe Louis’ opponents, running won’t work.
