“To use the authority of the Dept of #Justice to overturn the election, based on a #lie, w/ no concerns that the dept had no evidence of fraud that affected the election — & Mr. Clark didn’t have any evidence either — what Mr. Clark was attempting to do was essentially a #coup at the #DOJ,” said Hamilton P. ‘Phil’ Fox III, lead prosecuting atty for the DC Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
The judge in the case, Andrea Beall, asked questions but observed that the agreement had been made between the parties & the court could not block it.
“No judge can force a prosecutor to present evidence or call witnesses. This court does not have any say in this contract,” Judge Beall said before asking #KenPaxton if the signature on the document was his.
#Judiciary Cmte Chair #JimJordan issued a #subpoena Fri for #FaniWillis to hand over records, including documents & any communication, related to receiving or using #FederalFunding since Sept 1, 2020, acc/to a copy of the subpoena….
It’s the latest step in a larger #House#GOP probe into whether or not Willis used federal funds as part of her investigation into #Trump….
“Any examination of the records of our grant programs will find that they are highly effective & conducted in cooperation w/the DOJ & in compliance w/all DOJ requirements," #FaniWillis added.
Trump got $7.8 MILLION from 20 foreign governments while in office. China tops list with $5.5M at his hotels while Saudi Arabia and Qatar
The transactions are detailed in a 156-page report The 'White House For Sale'.
Other foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia also did business through four Trump entities, according to the report. The report says the foreign payments uncovered are 'likely only a fraction of the total amount of foreign payments he received during his presidency.
trump took in $7.8 million from foreign entities in 20 countries, payments to his businesses that violate a Constitutional prohibition on accepting funding from foreign governments.
The volume of #foreign payments detailed in one of the most exhaustive reviews of Trump’s business dealings with foreign governments while in office. 🚨
Hi @stsing, have spent the evening on scrutinising @stsing draft for the #stsingCodeOfConduct. This is an exciting read. Key issue for me: will we get at a version in which a non-stsing member can get into action the stsing ombudsgroup to investigate #AbuseofPower by an #stsing member against a nonmember?
The #AP notes TWO US Attorneys debunked Gary Shapley.
It's NOT JUST TWO! It's 2 FBI Agents, 2 Shapley supervisors, a #DoJ Tax attorney.
EVERYONE has debunked Gary Shapley, even Gary Shapley's own notes debunked Gary Shapley.
Normal Americans want to know what the IRS Agents were talking to the House Republicans about BEFORE asking to be called "whistleblowers"? Let's see the notes the Republicans are hiding from Democrats on the Committee.
The special prosecutor is expected to testify on Tuesday, an "unprecedented" step and the first time a special counsel will appear before Congress in the middle of a probe.
They're the same #CorporateMercenaries that I faced with fellow activists at 2 different protection camps. Our governments have given them millions to abuse badge power & violate international laws.
'All hope is lost' with Jim #Jordan after he 'loses big' on third #speaker vote — his worst yet
After losing two votes for House speaker, far-right nominee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was determined to keep fighting. A third vote was held on the House floor on Friday morning, October 20, and this time, things went even worse for Jordan when three Republicans who voted for him before flipped and voted "no," including Fitzpatrick
This really is sad & brutal. This elderly woman deserved better! She was abused, unnecessarily by hospital staff AND cops. She lost her life after. This was a preventable death.
I find it both hilarious & shitty that the only question any #Saanich councillor had when seeing my multiple vids of their #antimasker#police was - How many people have seen these videos?
That confirms for me, my family & friends here that their council doesn't give a shit about their cops violating our #HumanRights but they're concerned about #BadPR 👎
#ThankYou to every single person who has hit up my vids & boosted to help me & my family. That all helps. You can easily #HelpUs from wherever you are in the world. I'm grateful to everyone who cares & trying to help me & my family with long #HumanRights battle against #SaanichPolice & #SaanichCouncil (employers of municipal police) & #SaanichMayor (Chair of Saanich #PoliceBoard ).
The #warrant, obtained in Jan, adds a new dimension to the scope of the federal inquiry into #Jan6, 2021.
The court papers, which emerged from an appeal by Twitter challenging the judge’s decision to issue the warrant, did not reveal what prosecutors were looking for….
But the papers indicate that #prosecutors got permission from the #judge not to tell #Trump for months that they had obtained the warrant…. The prosecutors feared that if Trump learned about the warrant, it “would seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation” by giving him “an opportunity to #DestroyEvidence, change patterns of behavior, [or] notify confederates,” the papers said.
#Twitter’s initial resistance to #complying w/the warrant resulted in a federal# judge holding the company in #contempt & levying a $350,000 #fine (#Musk)
A federal #court of #appeals upheld that #fine last month in a sealed opinion. On Wed, the court unsealed a redacted version of that #opinion, revealing details of the secret battle for the first time.
“Although #Twitter ultimately complied w/the #warrant, the company did not fully produce the requested information until 3 days after a #court-ordered deadline,” acc/to the 34-p opinion by a 3-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. “The district court thus held Twitter in contempt & imposed a $350,000 sanction for its delay.”
#DougFord needs to resign and be investigated for criminal activity related to the corruption and abuse of office. His developer donors directed actions of our government that will make them $8.3 Billion , from what we already know. Our worst suspicions confirmed.
#Abortion Drives #Ohio Election on Amending the State Constitution
For more than a century, Ohio voters have been able to amend the State Constitution w/a simple majority vote.
That could end on Tues, bc the state’s #RepublicanControlled#Legislature has called for a special election that would raise the bar for amendments from a simple majority to 60%….
The reason is no secret. Since the #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade last year, voters across the country, in multiple elections, have approved ballot measures protecting the right to #abortion. A similar election has been scheduled for Nov in Ohio, & legislators are hoping the higher bar for passing amendments will lead to its defeat.
