The Donald Trump Score Card

A band of criminals ... half assed organized.

 

'Coup Memo' Lawyer Loses Bid To Hold Up Records He Warns Could Convict Trump

excerpt:

"The right-wing attorney who authored “coup memos” for Donald Trump and supporters on how to scuttle the presidential election lost a court battle Friday to hold back his documents from the House select committee investigating last year’s Jan. 6 insurrection.

Lawyer John Eastman claimed the situation had turned him into a “pseudo-defense attorney for the former president” — so the emails are thereby protected by attorney-client privilege.

Eastman warned in his civil suit that granting the committee access to his emails involving the former president could amount to a historic legal finding that Trump may have committed a crime while he was a sitting president.

“Were this Court to sustain the defendants’ claims, it may be the first formal finding of Presidential criminality by a federal court in United States history,” Eastman wrote in his suit seeking to hold up access to his records.

The committee argued Wednesday that Eastman’s records are indeed likely to show evidence of multiple crimes committed by both him and Trump, which would thereby trigger the “crime-fraud exception” to attorney-client privilege.

The explosive filing alleged that Trump and key allies conspired to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official congressional proceeding: the certification of electoral votes."

 

'Coup Memo' Lawyer Loses Bid To Hold Up Records He Warns Could Convict Trump

excerpt:

"U.S. District Court of Central California Judge David Carter dismissed Eastman’s objections late Friday.

Carter noted that battles over attorney-client privilege in a civil lawsuit — even when they involve criminal allegations — don’t merit protections for criminal defendants because there’s currently no risk of jail time."

 

Yeah... That's why they want them, dumbass.

 

So, why would any of these guys need pardons if they weren't doing anything wrong?

 

Even though he was unofficially 'minister of everything', Jared Kushner didn't have the power to issue pardons. Stone should be targeting his anger at Trump.

 

Eastman is arguing in a civil docket that Trump and others associated with him may be guilty of crimes and that, therefore, attorney-client privilege is available as a reason for not releasing more records.

The judge ruled that attorney-client privilege isn't available in civil investigations.

James has this advantage in the civil system.

Trump is extremely frustrated with this fact and has been claiming that his Constitutional rights are being violated because a civil and criminal investigation have been occurring in tandem, which isn't unusual or un-Constitutional.

After losing his case, Trump appealed to a higher court which will likely delay his deposition to James by a few months.

 

Former Trump appointee Col. MacGregor says Putin is being too gentle on Ukraine and blames Zelensky for not giving Putin what he wants.


A Trump-appointed former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense says Russian forces have been 'too gentle' on Ukraine and called Zelensky a 'puppet'

excerpt:

"The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle," he said. "They've now corrected that. So, I would say another ten days this should be completely over."

Macgregor — who was also tapped by Trump to serve as ambassador to Germany in July 2020 before the nomination stalled in the Senate — said that the war could have "ended days ago" if Zelensky had accepted what the Russians have sought, which he said is a "neutral Ukraine."

 

MacGregor was appointed by Trump as a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense.


A Trump-appointed former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense says Russian forces have been 'too gentle' on Ukraine and called Zelensky a 'puppet'

excerpt:

"In an interview with Fox Business' Stuart Varney, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor — who former President Donald Trump appointed as a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense — said that there was nothing "heroic" about Zelensky, who has led his country's resistance against invading Russian forces."

 

The way MacGregor talks, he sounds like he was a senior advisor to Putin's secretary of defense.

excerpt:

Griffin stated that Macgregor's comments had many "distortions."

"The kind of appeasement talk that Colonel Macgregor, who should know better — when he was in government, he was the one who was advising Trump to pull all troops out of Germany," she said. "That projection of weakness is what made Putin think he could move into a sovereign country like Ukraine."

 

The State Bar of California is investigating ethics violations by Eastman.

 

The state of North Carolina is investigating Trump loyal lap dog Mark Meadows. It looks like Meadows has committed voter fraud by claiming a remote mobile home somewhere he never lived at as his home. This is going to be comical.

 

Like the United States, Russia is having a presidential election in 2024. Maybe we should send trump to run as Putin’s running mate.

 

I read that. Apparently his wife rented the place on two occasions and stayed there with their children, but he never set foot there, according to the home's former and current owners.

 

Putin as Trump's running mate in Russia.

 

Barr describes how Trump reacted when he said the election wasn't stolen from him.


Former AG Barr says he wouldn't have prosecuted Trump for Jan. 6 or taking classified documents

excerpt:

"What he found didn't make Trump happy.

"I quickly came to the conclusion that the initial stuff that was pointed to, like the Dominion machines and all these other conspiracy theories, were nonsense," he said. And "this idea of some inner-city boiler room where people are cranking out false ballots is a fantasy."

Barr said that after he announced publicly on Dec. 1, 2020, that he'd found no sign of widespread fraud, Trump became enraged.

"That's the maddest I'd ever see him," Barr said.

He quoted Trump as telling him: "Well, you know, I hear about these Dominion machines in Michigan. Some people think that they should be seized."

"And I said, 'There's no way the department is going to seize those machines. There's simply not probable cause.'"

He said he told Trump, "The reason you are where you are is because you wheeled out a clown show in lawyers," a reference to Giuliani, who was a frequent critic of Barr's.

Holt noted that in his book, Barr said he didn’t think Trump would ever concede, because in “his cosmos, a loser was the lowest form of life.” He asked Barr whether he thinks Trump really believes he won the election.

"I think his attitude probably is it either was stolen or if it wasn't stolen I want people to believe it was stolen," Barr said. "It's useful. I'm not sure he's, you know, really fixated on finding out what the truth is there.""

 

In his recently released book, Barr criticizes Democrats for not wanting to work with Putin and for demonizing him. Ooops.

Mike Lindell Vows 'Class Action' Suit Against 'All Machines' Over Rigged Election Lie

excerpt:

"Mike Lindell, the increasingly off-the-rails MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump acolyte, announced Saturday that he’s filing a “class action lawsuit” against “all machines” to support his and Trump’s lie that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

One Twitter user quipped that his washing machine and dryer have hired an attorney in response.

Lindell seemed perfectly serious when he made the announcement during a speech endorsing Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

His lawyers have been working on the suit for five months, and will argue that “all machines” are “defective devices,” Lindell said.

“We’re going to get rid of these machines once and for all, for any election in history,” he added, to cheers from the audience.""

 

Ex-Attorney General William Barr Blames Democrats, Media for Blocking Trump-Putin Détente

excerpt:

"In a book set to drop in the thick of Russia’s devastating invasion of Ukraine, William Barr writes that “demonizing [Vladimir] Putin is not a foreign policy,” nor “the way grown-ups should think.”

In a copy of the forthcoming book by Trump’s ex-attorney general, One Damn Thing After Another, viewed by The Daily Beast, the hatchet man writes that an imminent conflict with China means America should try to find “a more constructive relationship” with Russia. But: “Unfortunately, with the media ready to pounce on President Trump as a Russian stooge—if not a Manchurian candidate—at the slightest sign of détente, the President’s hands were severely tied, particularly during an election year.”

“This is not the way grown-ups should think,” Barr continues, before inveighing on a dynamic that has changed rapidly in the time between drafting and the book hitting the shelves.

“The threat posed by Russia has changed dramatically since the fall of the Soviet Union,” Barr offers. “The Russian Federation of today has roughly half the population the old Soviet Union had, and less than half the U.S. population. The larger Warsaw Pact countries—Poland, the former East Germany—are now part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The combined defense budgets of the three big Western European countries—Britain, France, and Germany—are comparable to Russia’s. While Russia still has a potent nuclear arsenal, the prospect of Russian tanks rolling to the English Channel—a realistic scenario during the Cold War—is just not plausible now. Further, while some Russian foreign policy goals are in tension with our own, Russia’s leaders no longer promote a revolutionary ideology that foreordains general antagonism with the West. For them, foreign policy is now more purely a matter of Realpolitik.”"
