CNN Legal Analyst Calls Out 'Unjustified
Mess' and Contortion of Law Against Trump
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/1/2024 10:48:05 PM
There are some folks on CNN who sometimes seem to hit upon a little truth in their analysis. One is data analyst Harry Enten, who has been reporting on the big problems with Joe Biden's campaign. The other is legal analyst Elie Honig, who has not been shy in calling out the problems in the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case against former President Donald Trump. That's particularly interesting since he used to be a colleague of Alvin Bragg's when they both worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, and he calls Bragg a friend.

Former President Donald Trump arrived at the UFC 302, a mixed martial arts event held in Newark, New Jersey, to “thunderous applause” from the crowd, days after his conviction.
As Trump was seen walking to his seat with Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), he stopped to shake hands with several people in the crowd and received a round of applause from the crowd. Trump’s appearance at the UFC 302 match at the Prudential Center between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier comes after a Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to adult entertainment
Former President Donald Trump may be banned from the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries should his felony conviction hold up.
Last week, a 12-person jury in Manhattan found the former president guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president will likely appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before the November election. Should the former president win the election before the conviction could be overturned, certain countries would have to make an exception if he were to visit on official business.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted there was no evidence to support social distancing to limit the spread of Covid-19 and failed to recall evidence for child masking, according to newly released transcripts of congressional testimony he gave earlier this year. Fauci testified behind closed doors over two days in January to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the subcommittee released the transcripts of his testimony ahead of his public testimony scheduled to take place next week.

While the left and its media acolytes have been busy squeeing the past 24 hours over the fact that former President Donald Trump is a "CONVICTED FELON!!1!!1!" (technically not true until the judge actually enters the judgment of conviction, but that will come shortly, no doubt), many have been speculating as to what that means in practical terms for the former president. Sentencing is now set for July 11 (four days before the start of the Republican National Convention), but setting aside the guesses as to what Judge Juan Merchan will do at that point, the conviction could impact some of Trump's rights,

For the second time in their ignoble history, the Democrats have fired on Fort Sumter. Now the question is, what are we going to do about it?
I wrote my initial thoughts on the Trump verdict yesterday afternoon. I want to add to them here.
If Joe Biden is re-elected following this outrage, he will be an illegitimate president. What does that mean? It means, I think, that no one should be obliged to follow his executive orders. All such orders will be illegitimate and should be disregarded, as appropriate. Likewise, residents of the sane states, and their public officials, should be free to disregard rules and orders
On Friday’s edition of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast, New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow argued that Democrats want to try to wear down 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump with the criminal charges against him and Trump can’t play into that goal by sacrificing his message on the economy to focus on relitigating his trial in New York.
Host Tomi Lahren said that Trump’s presser earlier in the day on the trial had about 25 minutes that he could have skipped because he spent too much time getting bogged down in the legalities of the case.
Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu declined Friday to confirm or deny explicitly U.S. President Joe Biden’s claim that Israel had proposed a deal for a ceasefire and hostage release that would keep Hamas armed and in power in Gaza.
However, Netanyahu’s response suggested that Israel’s “actual proposal” was different than the one Biden described. On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Biden proposed a three-part deal similar to proposals that Hamas had rejected in the past. The proposal never mentioned disarming Hamas and would effectively leave Hamas in power. Biden claimed that the Israeli government had proposed the deal — but then, bizarrely,
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk is preparing to host a town hall on his social media website for former President Donald Trump after slamming Trump’s conviction.
A source familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal he would be partnering with NewsNation to air a town hall event where users on X, formerly known as Twitter, will submit questions that will be answered by Trump.
The source added that there would also be a town hall event hosted on X for independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On Thursday, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to payments
One week ago I wrote a post about how "right wing" AfD (All for Germany) party representatives in the European Parliament (called MEPs for Members of the European Parliament) had been booted from their EU coalition by Marine LePen's group. Whatever the alleged catalyst - a brouhaha over "unacceptable" remarks made by AfD's leader in an interview - the timing was certainly suspicious, coming as it did a mere 6 weeks before EU Parliament elections and in the face of rising panic by Brussels elites over surging populist fervor among Europe's citizens.
Things are quickly reaching a boiling point in the European ruling Left
Joe Biden is a disgusting human being.
He should have said nothing. His campaign should not have sent people to make a spectacle of themselves earlier in the week at the Trump trial in Manhattan. That was an incredibly ill-considered move, like so much of what Biden has done over his time in office. Then his team issued a disgusting statement, and there was even a report that they were cheering. But Biden — or whoever is in control at the White House — just couldn't stop themselves from having him say something.
First, there was the obligatory Biden confusion and despite the fact that he's going to talk about
President Biden announced the terms of an Israeli-led proposal Friday that includes a three-part roadmap toward an end to fighting and the release of all remaining hostages taken Oct. 7, giving the strongest indication yet of a potential end to the war between Israel and Hamas.
“After intensive diplomacy carried out by my team, my many conversations with leaders of Israel, Qatar and Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries, Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It’s a road map to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages,” Biden said.

An Idaho bar has opted to counter LGBTQ Pride Month by celebrating 'Heterosexual Awesomeness Month' during the month of June, saying that without them 'none of us would be here.'
Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, which is just outside of Boise, announced this past Wednesday that each Monday would be 'Hetero Male Monday.'
Any man dressed 'like a heterosexual male' will be entitled to a free draught beer, according to a Facebook post from the bar.
In a subsequent comment, the bar also said it was seeking applicants to judge if male patrons that come on Mondays have straight enough clothing.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Joe Biden should campaign on former President Trump’s guilty verdict in the New York business records case.
Guest host Kasie Hunt said, “Should President Biden be leaning more into this message of Donald Trump being a convicted felon?”Schiff said, “I think for the president, there’s a time and a place for each argument. I think on the day of the conviction that day thereafter, I can understand the president staying above the fray and demonstrating his respect and expressing his respect for the jury system. But
On Thursday, President Trump was convicted on felony charges for a made-up crime in a kangaroo court led by a corrupt judge. This comes at a time when a leading Democrat is aggressively pushing to strip him of Security Service protection, Fox News reported.
The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) proposed the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act, aiming to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection should he face imprisonment.
If you do any amount of movie or TV series streaming via Netflix, Prime or other channels, you may have noticed a truly annoying trend of loud, inappropriate songs in the background of what you’re watching.
The singers are almost always bad and the lyrics almost always totally wrong for the content of the movie or series you're watching. I was watching a murder-mystery thriller movie on Prime and suddenly a soundtracker bursts into loud, raucous songs about something utterly unrelated to the plot. I have noticed this trend mostly in the last five years but lately, it has been enough to make me hit the mute button.
Bombshell testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci reveals he made up the six foot social distancing rule and other measures to 'protect' Americans from covid.
Republicans put out the full transcript of their sit down interview with Fauci from January just days before his highly-anticipated public testimony on Monday.
They plan to grill him about covid restrictions he put in place, that he admitted didn't do much to 'slow the spread' of the virus.
Kids' learning loss and social setbacks have been well documented, with one National Institute of Health (NIH) study calling the impact of mask use on students' literacy and learning 'very negative.'

I voted for Trump against the Hill-da-beast. I hope he wins again—if he is still willing and able after they get done with him. However, from the moment RFK Jr. announced his run for the presidency, I had an old D.C. political observer’s hunch: Bobbie Jr. may win.
Mitt Romney Has Two Words for Alvin Bragg

An unusual politician came to former President Donald Trump’s defense after a Manhattan jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a sham trial. Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) criticized progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for politically persecuting the former president.
Romney, a long-time Trump critic, accused Bragg of committing “political malpractice,” arguing that the case should have been settled without a trial.
“Bragg should have settled the case against Trump, as would have been the normal procedure. But he made a political decision,"
Attorney General Merrick Garland has reportedly “classified at the highest level” the audio tapes of Joe Biden’s embarrassing interview with Special Counsel Hur. The tapes have been locked away in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), according to investigative journalist Paul Sperry.
Earlier this year, Washington Post reporter Matt Viser revealed that Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Joe Biden recklessly mishandled sensitive materials discovered at his home and former office.
Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that it was “deeply offensive” to claim former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in the New York business document trial will help him with black voters.
Host George Stephanopoulos said, “There’s a debate going on in circles about how to take on the former president, how central to make the fact that he is now a convicted felon. Where do you stand on that?”Wes Moore said, “Well, I think that, you know, and I hear the argument that people are saying now that him being a convicted felon is actually going to help him,
At least one person is dead and 24 others are wounded in a mass shooting just after midnight Sunday at a large outdoor party at Kelly and 8th avenues in Akron.
A 27-year-old man died in the incident, according to a news release from the Akron Police Department. According to a spokesman from Summa Health, he was dead when he reached the hospital.
According to spokespeople from Cleveland Clinic Akron General and Akron City, one patient at each hospital was listed in critical condition.
Akron Police Capt. Michael Miller said he was not aware of any arrests in connection to the shooting, and preliminary investigations indicate this was a targeted incident.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - The man who shot and killed a Minneapolis police officer this week was a convicted felon who was banned from possessing firearms. Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 35, was identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office on Saturday. Mohamed died from multiple gunshot wounds Thursday night outside an apartment complex on Blaisdell Avenue South.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has not identified Mohamed as the shooter. However, police have previously said the suspect died at the scene shortly after ambushing and killing Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell in the street. Multiple law enforcement sources have also identified Mohamed
