The special counsel investigating former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents has taken new steps to examine possible efforts to obstruct the probe, threatening potential charges against a Trump Organization employee who is suspected of lying to investigators, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Special counsel Jack Smith in recent weeks transmitted a target letter to the staffer indicating that he might have perjured himself during a May appearance before the federal grand jury hearing evidence in the classified documents probe, the sources told ABC News.CORRECTION*

Never lie on the stand. "I think it was this way, but I'm not absolutely sure, it's been quite a while. " is always a safe answer.

Since there is no actual crime in all of this their only hope to get Trump is to find some small detail they got wrong while under oath.

More "Process Crimes" the DOJ simply loves to pull out in order to pile on the "seriousness" of charges. It's truly high time for the DOJ top floor to be hauled before House Committees to testify as to their allegiance to the Constitution. There's some truly serious corruption there going back to Obama's corrupt administration. Also, leave it to the Operation Mockingbird affiliated ABC to parrot the talking points off the FAX'd memo from the DOJ this morning.

Why anyone, anyone involved in the Trump Organization or the Trump administration are not answering any question by these inquisitors with "Upon advice of counsel, I decline to answer this question under my fifth amendment rights." Over and over again. These Lawfare persecutors aren't after justice. They're looking to use process crimes or minor charges to manufacture evidence, bankrupt supporters, and marginalize and remove their political opponents. Why give them any possible ammo they can use to twist into their gain for their terrible purposes?

Sure took a lot of 'journalists' to author this propaganda leak from Garland and Smith. Did each one type a single paragraph, or did they take turns with individual words?

The role of special prosecutor must be abolished. When was the last time a special prosecutor came up with any criminal charges at all related to the actual crime they were tasked with investigating?. The filing of any process charge should be contingent on proving the target criminal act a, actually occured and b, charges are brought. Scooter libby is a case study. In essence the DOJ alleged that a crime, say a bank robbery, occured in Manhattan in July. Years later you are accused of robbing the bank and hauled in for questioning under oath. From that session you are on record as having been to Manhattan around the date of the crime. A year later the DoJ realizes that the bank was actually robbed in January, while you were in Mexico. Two months later the oJ finds out the bank was never actually robbed. A month later you are charged with lying under oath when, after millions spent on investigations, it is determined that in July you were actually in Newark, not Manhattan when the alleged bank robbery did not actually occur. That is how the DoJ uses process crimes to punish political opponents. The fact that the bank was not actually robbed but defrauded by a Democrat is irrelevant to any legal proceedings, and cannot be mentioned at your trial.

Going after anyone who has any connection to Donald Trump. Trying to scare away any help. Frightening his lawyers into quitting him. I certainly hope when Donald Trump is re-elected he doesn't forget these folks. Payback is a beitch and they have earned it.

Cornell West bashed President Joe Biden's history of supporting the 90s crime bill. AP Likely Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West ripped President Biden’s record on race issues, calling the Democrat’s history with black Americans nothing short of a “crime against humanity,” in an exclusive interview with The Post. West, 70, accused Biden of spurring mass incarceration among minorities because of the tough-on-crime federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act Biden sponsored as a senator in 1994. The bill authorized the hiring of 100,000 new police officers and allocated $9.7 billion for prisons.

In a massive breach of two dozen organizations, Chinese hackers managed to gain access to the confidential emails of at least two senior officials in the Biden Administration. As previously reported, Microsoft had announced that a Chinese hacking group called Storm-0558 had been behind the breach of 25 different companies and government agencies.

Former Vice President Mike Pence was among several 2024 Republican presidential candidates who released lackluster second-quarter fundraising reports on Friday raising doubts about their ability to qualify for the first primary debate next month. Pence has raised a mere $1.2 million for his presidential campaign in the three weeks since launching his White House bid, according to reports. Combined with the roughly $2.6 million reportedly raised by Committed to America, a super PAC aligned with the former vice president, Pence’s second quarter totals amount to just $3.8 million, far less than his top opponents.

Electric Cars Are a Scam 13 replies
Posted by Mercedes44 7/14/2023 4:57:43 AM Post Reply
The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn't really meet the definition of innovation.Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology. This is why there is no real "emerging market" for EVs in the United States as much as there's an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a verbal slip on Friday that fed a frenzy of conspiracy theories, after she spoke of the need to 'reduce population' instead of pollution. 'When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water,' Harris said during a speech in Baltimore on combatting climate change. The White House official transcript of the remarks corrected the obvious error, crossing out the word 'population' and adding 'pollution' in brackets to indicate what Harris intended to say.

The Secret Service announced this week that the agency has finished its investigation into the mysterious baggie of cocaine that was found in the White House earlier this month with finding the culprit. The agency said that the case was closed due to a lack of forensic evidence coupled with the fact that the class A drug was found an area in which around 500 people passed through at the time it was believed to have been discarded. It was determined by the agency that because the cocaine amounted to around 0.007 ounces, meaning it would only be a misdemeanor offense in the District of Columbia, it would be

During a scandal, it’s never a good look when an organization’s defense can be summarized as, “We’re not corrupt, we’re incompetent!” Yet, that’s exactly where the Secret Service finds itself after concluding its cocaine investigation that yielded zero leads. Somehow, in “the most secure building in the entire world,” with an annual budget of about $3 billion and roughly 8,000 employees, per fiscal 2023 levels, the Secret Service cannot figure out who left that baggie of booger sugar. Fingerprints are impossible to obtain for some reason and video footage is apparently inadequate. So, how it snowed in July in Washington, D.C. will remain a mystery.
