More Bad News for Fani Willis As Megyn
Kelly Drops One Final Surprise in Disqualification Matter
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/2/2024 8:02:03 AM
Attorney Terrence Bradley, the former partner of Nathan Wade, finally had to testify this week after trying to avoid doing so by claiming attorney-client privilege with Wade. As we noted, that didn't go particularly well for Bradley. While he relied a lot on the old saw that he couldn't remember during his testimony, he got busted saying, "oh, dang" when he was shown his texts with defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant. In those texts, he told her that the relationship between Fulton County (Georgia) DA Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade began before they had claimed to the Court. Now during testimony, he said he was "speculating."

Trump 'Lawfare' Update
5 replies
Former President Donald Trump's victory in the Supreme Court 14th Amendment case, together with delay and disorder in the criminal cases against him, has set off panic among Democrats who hoped to use prosecutions and other legal maneuvers to keep Trump from winning a second term. "Supreme Court ruling darkens critics' hopes for a judicial curb on Trump," read one headline in the Washington Post.
You might find it outrageous that people in positions of great power and responsibility, in the midst of a campaign, would use the justice system to "curb" one of the two major presidential candidates. You might find it outrageous that those people --
As expected, some of the media reactions on Super Tuesday were unhinged. Others were fraught with outright fiction, like how CNN’s Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to spin how Trump Republicans aren’t most of the GOP. Has she seen how this primary is going? On MSNBC, it was a different story. If Republicans want an ad that they can run throughout this cycle, please clip this panel discussion between Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow, and Joy Reid, where they mock immigration as a rising issue among voters.
Some aptly noted how this was yet another example of the elite media mocking rural voters—they hate them.
After getting trounced on Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley will officially end her quest for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday. Sources tell CNN that she will announce her withdrawal from the race in Charleston, S.C., at 10 a.m. ET. She is not expected to immediately endorse Donald Trump.
Haley was so far behind Trump that many expected her to drop out after New Hampshire, yet after each defeat, she remained defiant and resolved to continue her campaign. She went on to lose the Nevada primary to "none of these candidates"; she also lost big in her home state of South Carolina, where she served as governor.
COVID-19 Protests Are Back

If you jump in the time machine with me, we'll go back to the days of protests over mask mandates, business closures, social distancing, and lockdowns. In those days, many people were incensed that the government had disrupted so many lives with a list of restrictions and warnings that many credited with helping foment the social unrest in the months and years that followed.
COVID-19 protests are making a comeback. But this time, the shoe is on the other foot. Or, more appropriately, the mask is on the other face. This time around, protestors are gathering later this month to express their ire
Former President Trump absolutely DOMINATED the Super Tuesday contests. As of this writing, he has won Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. In the night's only surprise, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley won Vermont with 50.5% to Trump's 45.7% with 99% reporting.
The states where Trump won were blowouts—he garnered anywhere from 60.5% (Massachusetts) to 83.7% (Alabama).
We're still waiting on Utah and Alaska to report and will update when we have those results.
It takes 1,215 delegates to win the Republican nomination. Trump currently has 724 to Haley's 57. Trump is expected to clinch next Tuesday
MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann said on Tuesday’s “Deadline” that he believed former President Donald Trump voters have a “lack of energy.”
Heilemann said, “Doing the first three early state primaries which I love, historically love, have done them all, love doing that, love. love. It was so depressing doing these and for a million reasons not just because Trump was going to win and what it said about the Republican Party or that it was a foregone conclusion, but just the lack of energy out in the world. The kind of flaccid acquiescence of everybody out there. You hear about it on the Democratic side.

‘Punch’ Black Donald Trump Supporters

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley threatened to punch black supporters of Donald Trump in the face if he saw any sporting a t-shirt featuring Trump’s mugshot.
In a segment Monday with CNN’s Gayle King, Barkley blasted Trump for his comments made on Friday in Columbia, South Carolina, where he marveled that his mugshot had become a popular image among some blacks.
“You know who embraced more than anybody else? The Black population,” Trump said. “It’s incredible. You see Black people walking around with my mugshot – you know they do shirts.”
Trump’s comments set off the TNT broadcaster and former NBA star.
“First of all, I’m just gonna say this,” he threatened.
After all the problems regarding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her former paramour, whom she appointed to be a special prosecutor in the Trump election case, you knew that they were going to be in trouble.
Now, they have been referred by a watchdog group to the Georgia state bar for misconduct.
The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) is alleging that the pair violated the rules of professional conduct in ethics complaints they filed with the bar. The AAF claims Wade lied under oath about the relationship with Willis and that Willis kept campaign money for personal use, and admitted it during her testimony.

As the window closes on her presidential campaign, Nikki Haley is changing her tune.
She’s no longer just attacking Donald Trump, she’s also attacking Republicans who support him.
All of them.
Losing is a kind of death that concentrates the mind, and with Super Tuesday likely to be her last stand, Haley is unleashing on the people whose votes she courted for more than a year.
She didn’t persuade enough of them, so now she’s blaming them for not being the right kind of Republicans.
“I get why Republicans are leaving the Republican Party, because we were just always about small government and freedom: economic freedom, personal freedom,” Haley told a gaggle of reporters Friday.
If the 2024 presidential election were held today, former president Donald Trump would win. At least, that's the conclusion the New York Times comes to after releasing its latest poll with Siena College.

The presumptive Republican nominee leads President Joe Biden 48-43 in a national poll of registered voters. And that's not even the worst news for Biden. Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News has that. [Tweet]
But it's the "why" behind Biden's lagging numbers that makes the collapse of his support so easy to explain.
Only one in four voters think the country is moving in the right direction.
Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and TN Rep. Mark Green's pedigree is quite impressive. Green is also Dr. Green, an emergency room physician who was also a West Point cadet and is an Army veteran, and former Tennessee State Senator. Before being elected to the United States House of Representatives in Tennessee's District 7, President Donald Trump nominated him for Army Secretary, but his confirmation was stalled. Green went on to serve in Congress, and even after District 7 was redistricted in 2022 to incorporate parts of blue Nashville, Green won re-election handily against Democrat Odessa Kelly and was expected to win again in 2024.
Letitia James vs. Beef: The War on Food
21 replies
New York Attorney General Letitia James, of Trump prosecution fame, has turned her lawfare sights on one of the country’s, and in fact one of the world’s, largest meat producers.
Via The Post Millennial (emphasis added):
On Wednesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she had filed a lawsuit against meat producer JBS Foods' American division, JBS USA Food Company.
James alleged that officials were "misleading the public" about the JBS USA's environmental impact, namely via their claim that the company would "achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040" while still planning to "increase production*, and therefore increase its carbon footprint.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play.
Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate, putting to bed speculation that she would jump in at the last minute to give Democrats an alternative to aging Joe Biden.
The former first lady maintains a star power within Democratic politics, despite largely removing herself from the political scene in recent years.
'As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,' said Crystal Carson, director of communications for her office, told NBC News.

Mark Cuban, the minority stake owner of the Dallas Mavericks, reaffirmed his political support for President Joe Biden and vocal opposition to former President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Bloomberg News that published Monday, Cuban went as far as saying that he would vote for Biden even if Biden was on his death bed. “If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban told Bloomberg. The ages of Biden and Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican party, has become a topic of intense debate as the U.S. gears up

President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on "unfair and illegal" corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy.
The task force will be jointly led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over the past three years. "We're excited to be co-chairing the president's new Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing, which builds on the FTC's far-reaching work to promote competition and tackle unlawful business practices that are inflating costs
Appearing alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Garland called voter ID laws and other voter integrity laws “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” The two were speaking at an event commemorating the fifty-ninth anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma
Garland recalled the history of voting rights for black Americans since the end of slavery, which he said has “never been steady” into the present day charging that voter ID laws have made it harder “for millions of eligible voters to vote and to elect the representatives of their choice.”
There is a new twist in the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade legal saga after a co-chief deputy district attorney for Cobb County claimed key witness Terrence Bradley lied about his knowledge of Willis and Wade's relationship. While there has been no ruling on Willis' disqualification, legal scholar Jonathan Turley questioned on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday why the pair has not "stepped aside" as their legal quagmire worsens "by the day." JONATHAN TURLEY: It was painful to watch. It had that look of a hostage tape, where he was just saying, 'I know nothing, I heard nothing. If I said anything, I didn't mean it.'
Each side in today’s often-angry political debate over the upcoming presidential election seems convinced that its candidate has a clear advantage. But, as of now, neither President Joe Biden nor former President Donald Trump has an obvious edge in the popular vote as we enter the final eight months of the 2024 election season, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Despite being widely criticized for his lackluster campaign and showing continuing signs of age-related mental impairment, Biden holds a slender 43% to 42% lead over Trump. The online national poll of 1,246 registered voters was taken
The Supreme Court didn’t dig into the weeds of the entire insurrection debate, but one obvious issue with the various efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in various states was that insurrection had been left entirely to Democrat state officials to define. That kind of nonsense however won’t fly in an actual legislative process.
Now that the Supreme Court blocked state officials from announcing that Trump can’t be on the ballot because he’s an “insurrectionist”, House members are now trying to play the same game.
Congress will have to try and act,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told Axios.
