Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

[kallend 1,935]

On Wednesday a federal judge rejected Trump’s bid to move his hush-money criminal case from New York state court to federal court, ruling that Trump had failed to meet a high legal bar for changing jurisdiction. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein found that the allegations in the case pertained to Trump’s personal life, not presidential duties that could merit a move to federal court.

Also yesterday, another federal judge upheld thr  $5 million jury verdict against Trump in the E.Jean Carroll case. Judge Kaplan said the jury’s  award of compensatory and punitive damages was reasonable.

"The jury’s finding of sexual abuse therefore necessarily implies that it found that Mr. Trump forcibly penetrated her," and the damages are therefore not excessive, Kaplan wrote. 

Republicans and evangelicals are standing beside and giving money to a convicted rapist. I guess homicide on fifth avenue is the next benchmark for republicans. In the last two days the convicted rapist e-mailed  “make a contribution to show that you will NEVER SURRENDER our country to tyranny as the Deep State thugs try to JAIL me for life.”

On the same day that former president trump released his new e-mails to solicit money to pay for his lawyers. Former President Obama released his summer book reading list. "His list of books include Matthew Desmond’s “Poverty, By America,” Dennis Lehane’s “Small Mercies,” Jonathan Eig’s “King: A Life,” Ann Napolitano’s “Hello Beautiful,” S.A. Cosby’s “All the Sinners Bleed,” Eleanor Catton’s “Birnam Wood,” DK Nnuro’s “What Napolean Could Not Do,” David Grann’s “The Wager” and Tiffany Clarke Harrison’s “Blue Hour.”

None of this was noted nor any attention paid to it because as every American knows. Republicans don't read books and some just can't read.

In other presidential news trump's Truth Social SPAC has agreed to pay a $18 million dollar fine to the SEC to settle a fraud investigation. trump and fraud. Sounds like another money raising e-mail to his republican suckers...er...supporters and voters.

When people put out lists like this - I always wish they would add something utterly trashy in - the latest Dan Brown (or whoever), something less cerebral and deep.
I haven't checked out every book on this list but they mostly seem pretty serious.

Well that would be all the books written about trump and his clan of misfits over the last two decades.

Someone must have counseled that now was an inopportune time to go to court arguing that you shouldn't need to pay your lawyers.

I'd guess that the 'discovery' process for that suit would have been a 'bit problematic' for the Mango Mussolini.

This is a really good summary of the legal perils faced by Trump, and the failures of his attorneys:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/23/trump-court-cases-documents-insurrection-legal-challenges/

It starts:

The twice-indicted Donald Trump has a perfect record: He has lost every important challenge in the multiple, major legal cases swirling around him.

Sometimes, this has happened at the trial court level; sometimes, it’s been on appeal. But eventually, he has lost on every significant issue, civil or criminal, to come up. That ought to tell us something about the former president’s ability to navigate the rough legal waters ahead of him — and how dramatically the excuses his team serves up for the right-wing media zombies fall short in courts of law.

etc.

trump has surrounded himself with poor council all his life, legal and otherwise. Perhaps the old saw " you get what you don't pay for" applies the most to him. But in defense of his lawyers trump has never listened to the best advice around him. As he has parroted all his life "nobody knows more about __________ than me"

Finally as far as his presidency, twitter, Truth Social, etc. he just can't keep his big mouth shut. He has admitted to most everything he has been accused of. "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. "

Rudy Giuliani doesn't dispute that he lied when he claimed Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss stuffed fraudulent votes from a suitcase into ballot boxes.

The late-night Tuesday filing from Giuliani says he doesn’t contest Moss and Freeman’s accusations that he smeared them after the 2020 election. Yet the filing says he still wants to be able to argue that his statements about voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election were protected speech. Notably, he also refuses to concede that his statements caused damages to Moss or Freeman.

Scumbag!

More charges for the Trumpster.

Illegal possession of classified documents. It's on video.

Sounds like obstruction may also be a part of it.

This is part of the Maralago case, not Jan 6th - that looks to be next up.

But wait! There's more!

Such a historic POTUS.

Federal prosecutors announced new charges against Donald Trump, alleging the con-man and a newly-charged aide tried to keep security camera footage from being reviewed by investigators.

Trump was also hit with with a fresh charge, in addition to the 31 counts he already faces, of illegally retaining national defense information.

The indictment charges that Trump and two aides, Waltine “Walt” Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, requested that another Trump employee "delete security camera footage at the Mar-a-Lago Club to prevent the footage from being provided to a federal grand jury.”

Although this is starting to look like an indefensible case now. 40 charges so far. Evidence is rock solid.

I honestly think Trump may very well end up incarcerated. 

And it ain't over yet, more cases, more charges.
