The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump's supporters in Congress said they would form their own committee to investigate the January 6 riot. They can find all of the election fraud that Trump alleges.

excerpt:

"Trump said the Jan. 6 committee should be focused on “the massive Presidential Election Fraud” instead of looking into the activities of him and his allies before and after the attack.

“If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 or ‘24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do,” Trump said in a statement.

No evidence of fraud that would have effected the outcome of the 2020 election has been found and several lawsuits brought by Trump and his allies have been dismissed."

 

White House rejects latest Trump claim of executive privilege over of Jan. 6 docs

excerpt:

"White House counsel Dana Remus, in a letter to the National Archives dated Oct. 8 but released on Wednesday, said President Biden considered Trump's request to assert executive privilege and determined it "is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents provided to the White House on September 8, 2021."

"Accordingly, President Biden does not uphold the former President’s assertion of privilege," Remus wrote.

The National Archives as a result will be required to turn over the documents as part of the investigation into Jan. 6 barring any legal intervention.

Trump sent a letter to the National Archives last Friday saying he wanted to assert executive privilege to prevent the committee from obtaining more than 40 of the documents it requested, saying he had determined the records “contain information subject to executive privilege, including presidential communications and deliberate process privileges.”"

 

Kentucky man and his cousin sentenced to jail for their role in Trump's riot at the Capitol.


US Capitol riot: Kentucky man Robert Bauer sentenced in Jan. 6 case

excerpt:

"Judge Tanya Chutkan, with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ended up sentencing both Bauer and his cousin, Edward Hemenway of Winchester, Virginia, to a term of 45 days in jail along with 60 hours of community service and the $500 restitution amount.

Both men will be allowed to turn themselves in to the Bureau of Prisons to start their sentences, Chutkan said."

 

Capitol riot conviction could threaten citizenship for Texas man | wusa9.com

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — A federal judge sentenced a Midland, Texas, man to a year’s probation on Tuesday for his role in the Capitol riot – although he could face further fallout due to his asylum status in the U.S.

Eliel Rosa, 53, appeared in person before U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden in D.C. on Tuesday to be sentenced for one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building. Rosa, who entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6 with his friend Jenny Cudd, was indicted in February on five counts – including a felony count of obstruction that could have landed him in prison for 20 years if convicted. Rosa pleaded guilty in July to one Class “B” misdemeanor. Cudd was scheduled to plead guilty before McFadden during a hearing Wednesday afternoon."

 

Capitol riot conviction could threaten citizenship for Texas man | wusa9.com

excerpt:

"Although he avoided the serious felony charge that would have posed a serious threat to obtaining citizenship, Rosa’s conviction could still come into play under a U.S. statute requiring those seeking citizenship to demonstrate “good moral character.” The statute requires immigration officials to review the applicant’s conduct over the previous five years on a case-by-case basis – although the Trump Administration expanded the list of offenses that could result in a rejection in 2019 to include a number of lower-level crimes, including some misdemeanors."

 

Imagine Rosa trying to make a case for good moral character to an immigration board in his quest to obtain U.S. citizenship: "I was indicted for a felony after rioting for Trump at the U.S. Capitol."

 

Have a good school bus ride back to Mexico, doof. Oh, no air conditioning or restroom either...or food

 

Trump would still support this immigrant, even though he implemented anti-immigration policy that made it easier to eject such people from the U.S. Trump might even publish a video praising him like he did Ashli Babbitt.

 

Trump could try to pardon him... lol

 

Some of the news stories about Trump's rioters are beyond compare. They display the biggest group of misfits and losers imaginable.

 

Trump could try to be a human, too...

 

Pretty sure that's not gonna happen.

 

Let's not panic. Trump may plan to run in 2024 but that doesn't mean he'll win. Assuming he's still eligible to run, he'll suffer an all-out mud-slinging muck-raking assault by the Dems. The voters will be bombarded with ads reminding everyone that he's a twice-impeached corrupt chronic liar who incited an insurrection with lies about the election being stolen. Also that he has alienated world leaders who have been our allies while cozying up to dictators who have been our adversaries. And of course the way he bungled the initial outbreak of the pandemic. Oh yeah, he faces criminal charges. I could keep going but that's enough for now.

 

Judge strips Tina Peters of authority to oversee elections.

Peters is a clerk for Mesa County, CO and has been an ardent supporter of Trump's truther narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from him. She's known for her unsavory (and perhaps criminal) behavior that she thinks is promoting election integrity.

The deputy of Peters was arrested. Peters is currently under investigation.


Republican who attended Mike Lindell's 2020 conspiracy conference stripped of authority to oversee elections

excerpt:

"In her ruling, Robison said Peters and her aide had "neglected their duties by failing to take adequate precautions to protect confidential information, and committed wrongful acts by being untruthful." The decision comes after Peters spent weeks hiding in an undisclosed location provided by Lindell. She is currently under state and federal investigation.

Mesa County's next election will be overseen by former Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams, a Republican appointed by Griswold's office.

In a statement, Griswold praised Wednesday's decision, saying it would prevent peters from "further threatening the integrity of Mesa's elections.""

 

Trump can't get good lawyers!

You could keep going, but it won't make a difference to half the population.....blind. Deaf. Dumb and dumber/

 

The judge stated it mildly.

excerpt:

"A larger, more experienced firm may be needed if the Trump executive privilege fight heads into appeals. Past presidents have used some of the most elite law firms in Washington to help them post-presidency, including the Clintons keeping a decades-long relationship with their private attorney David Kendall at Williams & Connolly and Ronald Reagan turning to Ted Olson, who had high-ranking Justice Department experience, to counsel him when he testified in a 1990 trial related to the Iran-Contra affair.

"You'd want to see a top 10 national law firm with a big, experienced DC office" handling cases that test constitutional issues, such as how much say a former president has over the confidentiality of his records, said Yoo, the former Bush administration Justice official. "You don't see that here. It's quite glaring.""

 

The situation sounds similar to Trump's fight to keep his tax records private, which he eventually lost.

This time it's his records in the National Archives.

excerpt:

"That sets up the possibility of a complex and expensive court fight -- where Trump may need to sue if he disagrees with the National Archives' approach to his papers. It's possible that the questions he could raise in court about executive privilege may need to be settled by the Supreme Court, Yoo said."

 

Is Trump's power over Republicans starting to slip?

excerpt:

"Of course, in 2016 there were plenty of Republicans - a majority of primary voters, in fact - who didn't support Trump's march to the party's nomination. Trump won with a plurality, and he could do so again. This time around, he will have even greater advantages - including an established fundraising network, a more experienced campaign team and a party hierarchy at the state and national level that, unlike 2016, is now filled with Trump loyalists.

"I think if Donald Trump wants the Republican nomination for 2024, he's got a very good chance of being able to get that nomination," Caufield says. "The fact that he hasn't graciously stepped aside and said it's time for new leadership in the Republican Party, that he has such a hold on that base, it makes him a really serious contender."

The Biden presidency is only nine months old. It's still more than three years until the next presidential election. But in the US, a successful presidential campaign is a multi-year, near-billion-dollar undertaking - and the road to the White House runs through Iowa."
