This is the problem with affirmative action DEI appointees... their ethics are wanting...


A Fulton County Judge has scheduled an evidentiary hearing for February 15 on the motion to disqualify DA Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade (also at issue is the motion to dismiss the RICO case against Trump, et al.).

Note - DA Willis and Wade have yet to file with the Court their response to the allegations that they're having an affair.


 

'Completely un-American': Internet slams Trump for invoking 'rogue cops' and 'bad apples' to justify total immunity​

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Former President Donald Trump reiterated his demand for absolute presidential immunity for the umpteenth time.

Addressing a rally at SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Saturday, January 20, the Republican frontrunner stated his intention to bring into effect the "rogue cop" and "bad apple."

Trump made the remarks under the pretext that the police and border patrol are now not allowed to act and to go back to being a "country of law and order," they need to be "a rogue cop, the bad apple."

"And perhaps you'll have that also with President," he stated.

Update:

Could Georgia's Fani Willis be removed from prosecuting Donald Trump?

Accusations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had an affair with a special prosecutor she hired to seek convictions of Donald Trump and others for interfering in Georgia’s 2020 election have led to renewed calls to remove Willis from the case.

An explanation of what's happening.

What to know about the Fani Willis allegations and the election subversion case​

The allegations of an improper relationship between the Fulton County district attorney and a prosecutor she hired has roiled one of the major cases against former President Donald Trump.

The situation is another twist in the multiyear effort to punish those involved in attempting to subvert the 2020 presidential election won by Joe Biden.

Legally, the situation is unlikely to kill the case, but this could be a big political gift to Trump, who is seeking to discredit the Georgia charges as illegitimate and politically motivated.

Here’s what to know:

This is funny.

Fron the link:

“After Graham was finished testifying,” Isikoff and Klaidman write, “he bumped into Fani Willis in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story.

“‘That was so cathartic,’ he told Willis. ‘I feel so much better.’ Then, to the astonishment of one source who witnessed the scene, South Carolina’s senior senator hugged the Fulton county DA who was aggressively pursuing Trump.

“Willis’s reaction: ‘She was like, “Whatever, dude,”’ according to one witness of the strange encounter.”

Drama in New York.

Trump has taken the stand in the damages part of the E Jean Carroll trial. He tried lobbing torpedoes at Carroll but the judge shot them down. Really wish this was on tv.
 

Jury Orders Trump to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million for Defamation​

A federal jury ordered Donald Trump to pay $83 million in damages for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, after a trial in which she accused him of shattering her reputation while he was president by denying her claims of sexual assault.

The verdict hands Trump a significant legal and financial blow, dwarfing the $5 million that a different federal jury awarded to Carroll last year after finding Trump liable for sexually assaulting her in the 1990s and then defaming her when he denied it in 2022.

The jury of seven men and two women reached their verdict Friday after less than three hours of deliberation in Manhattan. Trump, who had attended the trial earlier in the day, wasn’t in the courtroom for the announcement. Carroll held hands with her lawyers before the verdict was read and then hugged them afterward.

Carroll didn’t comment while leaving the courthouse. Trump in a statement called the verdict ridiculous and said he would appeal. “Our legal system is out of control, and being used as a political weapon,” he said.

Barbara Jones, the former federal judge assigned as the independent court-appointed monitor overseeing the Trump Organization's financial disclosures in the New York civil fraud case against Donald Trump, his adult sons, the Trump Organization, and high level executives, has submitted a comprehensive letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, highlighting significant deficiencies in the organization's financial information.

"I have identified certain deficiencies in the financial information that I have reviewed, including disclosures that are either incomplete, present results inconsistently, and/or contain errors," wrote Jones.

they still haven't figured it out...

Trump WANTS them to erase presidential immunity. Why? Because in a court of law (appeals and all that) he will be innocent, HOWEVER in a court of law the other presidents who have committed crimes WILL not have immunity!

It doesn't matter if it's Bush, Clinton, Biden et al...

This is more of 'nothing to see here'. This carries about as much weight as the Jean Carroll defamation suit.

Grasping at political straws, but it also exposes the fraud in the court system.
 

Trump political action committees spent over $50m last year on legal bills​

Donald Trump’s political action committees spent more than $50m on legal fees over the course of 2023, as the former president’s legal troubles intensified in the face of 91 felony counts across four criminal cases.

According to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday night, Save America, Trump’s leadership Pac that has shouldered most of the financial burden of his legal battles, entered 2024 with just $5m in cash on hand after spending more than $25m on legal expenses over the last six months of 2023.

Another Trump-affiliated group, Make America Great Again, spent another $4m on legal bills over the second half of the year. Earlier filings showed that Save America also spent more than $21m on legal fees during the first six months of last year, bringing Trump’s total 2023 legal bill to more than $50m.

How Trump's 'I'm rich!' boasts are coming back to bite him in court​

  • Before its $83M verdict, the Carroll defamation jury watched Trump brag on tape about his wealth.
  • "We have a lot of cash," the jury watched Trump boast.
  • It's one example of how Trump's "I'm rich" boasts are coming back to bite him in court.
When seven men and two women put their heads together in a Manhattan federal courthouse last week, to decide how much of Donald Trump's money to give E. Jean Carroll, they had the benefit of guidance from a top expert on the former president's finances.

That expert was Donald Trump.

The day before awarding Carroll $83.3 million in damages — Trump's penance for calling her a lying "whack job" when she told the world he'd sexually assaulted her — jurors heard, firsthand, how rich he was.

In fact, one of the last things Carroll attorney Roberta Kaplan did before resting her defamation case against Trump was to hit play on a video of him bragging about his stacks of cash.

It was as good as parading Trump before the jury with a "kick me" sign taped to his back.

"We have a lot of cash," Trump boasted in the clip that Carroll's jurors saw last Thursday morning.

"I believe we have substantially in excess of $400 million in cash, which is a lot for a developer," Trump bragged, leaning toward the camera from his seat at a conference table.

"Developers usually don't have cash," Trump eagerly went on. "We have, I believe, 400 plus, and going up very substantially every month."

Trump hired private investigator to check work done by his E. Jean Carroll lawyers: report​

A political action committee closely tied to Donald Trump's re-election bid recently spent close to a quarter of a million dollars to investigate the quality of work of his legal team which has now suffered two losses to E. Jean Carroll and her attorneys.

According to an exclusive report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, FEC filings submitted this week show that the former president's Save America PAC made payments of $238,100 in the last six months to CTS Research, a New York-based private investigator firm, after paying the company another $152,285 earlier in the year.

According to the Beast, Trump insiders confirmed the expenditures were made to check out whether Trump's team had tracked down and interviewed any witnesses who could help him in his sexual assault and defamation cases that ultimately led to a combined $88.3 million in damages over two trials.

House GOP Subpoenas Fulton County DA Fani Willis Amid Trump Criminal Case​

The chances that Trump will be a convicted felon by Election Day have dropped​

Democrats perturbed about Donald Trump’s lead in 2024 polling have long had a comforting hope to fall back on: that Trump, who is facing four criminal prosecutions, will likely become a convicted felon before Election Day — or even be sent to prison.

That’s still possible — but it’s not as sure a bet as it once seemed.

Delays have piled up in federal court proceedings in the District of Columbia case about Trump’s attempt to steal the 2020 election and the Florida classified documents case against Trump, making it unclear whether either case will go to trial before November. (For the DC case, the hold-up is higher-court appeals; for Florida, it’s a slow-walking judge.)

Meanwhile, the Georgia election case has recently been consumed by scandalous allegations about Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, which throw the future of that prosecution into question. A judge will soon consider whether Willis and her office should be disqualified. He could decide not to do that, but even then, a trial date has not yet been set in the complex case.

That leaves the New York hush money case as the only trial that still seems on track. It’s currently scheduled to begin on March 25 — but first, on February 15, a judge will consider whether the felony charges against Trump there are legal.

“Stunning”: Experts think Trump CFO perjury caused judge to “slam the brakes” on fraud trial ruling​

Allen Weisselberg, the former longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is negotiating a deal with Manhattan prosecutors to plead guilty to perjury, according to The New York Times.

The deal would require Weisselberg to admit that he lied while testifying at Trump’s recent civil fraud trial and in an earlier interview with the New York attorney general’s office, sources told the outlet.

The reported deal comes after a long pressure campaign by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose team sought Weisselberg’s cooperation in several investigations into Trump’s business and alleged election crimes. Trump is scheduled for trial in Manhattan in March in the 2016 hush-money case.

The deal likely would not require Weisselberg to “turn on his former boss,” according to the report. Prosecutors are not expected to call him as a witness in the hush-money case and the investigation into Trump’s finances “may no longer be a priority for prosecutors,” the Times reported.

The potential deal is likely to strengthen Bragg’s hand, the report added, because it could deter other witnesses from lying on the witness stand. And it could discredit Weisselberg, who has disputed prosecutors’ evidence relating to the hush-money case.

Weisselberg previously pleaded guilty to a yearslong tax fraud scheme and spent about 100 days in jail on Rikers Island.

They forgot to mention the political leanings of the DC Court of Appeals is heavily Democratic. Just as Durham couldn't get a fair jury, but the important consideration is what was testified to in court can be used as fact later.

Judge in Trump election case says it's 'possible' D.A. Fani Willis could be disqualified over misconduct allegations​

Feb. 12, 2024, 4:53 PM EST

ATLANTA — The Georgia judge presiding over the election interference against former President Donald Trump on Monday gave the green light for a hearing this week involving misconduct allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and said her disqualification from the case is "possible."

Judge Scott McAfee made the remarks at a hearing where he denied Willis's bid to toss a subpoena for her testimony at the hearing Thursday, at least for now.


"Disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one," the judge said. One of Trump's co-defendants in the election case, Michael Roman, alleged that Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade had “a personal relationship” that was "improper."

"That is no longer a matter of complete speculation," McAfee said. "The state has admitted a relationship existed, and so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, if there even was one."
