Ex-US Attorney Urges Trump Judges And
Prosecutors To ‘Hold’ His ‘Feet

Delay Cases

Former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance in a Friday podcast episode accused former President Donald Trump of “abusing the system” by using his rights as a defendant to legally delay his cases. Trump has successfully delayed the cases he faces as a defendant, making it so some are unlikely to occur before the upcoming presidential election. Vance on “Defending Democracy” criticized Trump while praising Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and special counsel Jack Smith for their efforts to accelerate the cases against the former president and hold his “feet to the fire.” “I mean, it’s tough, right? It is a balancing act,” Vance said.

Utterly laughable, a Democrat talking about "abusing the system" when all the cases against Trump are a gross abuses of the system and election interference. This person should be ashamed of herself except Democrats have demonstrated over and over that they have no shame.

Her podcast is "Defending Democracy"......already, right there, she's anti-American. Should be "Defending Our Republic". We have NEVER had "democracy". Old saying, democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. In a republic, the sheep move to Sheepistan and the Wolves live in Wolfistan and they cooperate sometimes, but disagree on what's for dinner a lot.

That would be a "federal system" of a republic, many sovereign states allied under a federal government. So, Sheepistan and Wolfistan would send there representatives to the Big City to work things out.

The only one given the option for a speedy trial is the accused. The only time they take that offer is when they're an NFL superstar who murdered two people and they don't think the prosecutors can unravel the complicated forensic case in time.

I notice that she does not say that Trump is doing anything illegal or unethical. She does say that he is within his legal rights to use all legal methods to delay his trials. To her it is delaying. To others, it is filing motions to get information, have things clarified, and charges dropped. All of this is legal and lawful. She and the prosecutors might not like it, but it is every defendants right. Think of all of the underhanded stuff that has been uncovered in the documents case because of Trump's requests and the judges rulings. If things were sped along, Jack Smith's slimy tactics would have gone unnoticed.

Former president Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, said during a campaign trip on Saturday that he has picked his vice presidential nominee just days before the June 27 presidential debate. Trump told reporters he’s chosen his running mate for the 2024 campaign but has not told the candidate yet. The vice-presidential choice will be attending the debate between Trump and President Joe Biden set to take place next week, Trump said. The first presidential debate between Trump and Biden will air on CNN in primetime for 90 minutes. Trump will be hoping Joe Biden’s age and apparent mental decline will be on display for a national audience.

We've seen some horrible cases in the news lately of murders allegedly committed by illegal aliens, including the case of 37-year-old mother of five, Rachel Morin, and that of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. In the case of Morin, the suspect reportedly "illegally snuck into the US three times in two months and was booted — before apparently eluding agents on his fourth try." In the case of Jocelyn Nungaray, two illegal aliens from Venezuela were arrested in her strangulation murder, although you might not have known that they were illegal aliens if you just read the AP account, since the AP didn't include that.

The Wall Street Journal reports that corporate America is backpedaling away from “diversity”: White-collar companies that once championed programs to recruit diverse employees are now tiptoeing away from them. PricewaterhouseCoopers and JPMorgan Chase are among those that recently removed or altered descriptions of their programs for underrepresented students. The shift came after an “anti-woke” movement took aim at U.S. companies and a Supreme Court decision overturned affirmative action in college admissions. Employers’ embrace of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives peaked in 2021, sparked by the death of George Floyd and the height of the Black Lives Matter movement a year earlier

As we previously reported, Joe Biden is taking a whole week off from being president to prepare for his upcoming debate with Donald Trump. The debate, which will be hosted by CNN, will take place on Thursday—assuming Joe Biden shows up. So far, nothing, not even Trump's conviction in the sham trial in New York City, has managed to give Biden the boost he needs to be ahead in the race, and the Biden campaign is clearly aware that this is a make-or-break moment for the Biden campaign.

A longtime Democrat strategist calls it as it is - Joe Biden is his own biggest problem. Most Americans can see that but, interestingly, more party insiders are coming forward to state the obvious. Most Democrats are busy gaslighting Americans that President Biden is just fine. Behind closed doors, he's a bundle of energy focused on doing his job. Nah, don't fall for any of that malarkey. Democrat strategist Neil Oxman says the poll numbers show the president is now a negative factor for the Democrats.

For instance, we've learned that Biden, as per the norm, will go into hiding to do preparations while Trump plans to stay out in the field campaigning. It has also been reported that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won't be on the debate stage after all due to an alleged failure to meet certain qualifying benchmarks.

NEW YORK — Prosecutors who handled Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial asked a judge to keep in place most of the restrictions imposed by a gag order, but conceded it was no longer necessary to limit the former president’s comments about witnesses who testified against him. In a filing made public Friday, prosecutors cited “intensified” threats against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, his family and the office’s staff, disclosing that two people involved in the case received bomb threats at their homes on the first day of the trial. Prosecutors described those threats as “directly connected to defendant’s dangerous rhetoric about this prosecution.”

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal statute that bans gun possession by individuals who are subject to a domestic violence-related restraining order. The 8-1 decision in United States v. Rahimi, in which only Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, reverses a previous Fifth Circuit ruling on the matter. “Since the founding, our Nation’s firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms,” writes Chief Justice John Roberts, adding that the federal statute at hand “fits comfortably within this tradition.”

Former President Donald Trump has made it a point to do something that most, if not all, previous Republican presidential candidates have failed to do in recent years: actively engage the black American community and try to earn their vote. On Saturday, in Philadelphia, Trump is doing exactly that by holding a rally in a predominantly “black and brown” (as the Left likes to say) neighborhood. And it seems to be a historic rally given that no other Republican candidate has seemingly held such a campaign event in such a neighborhood in Philadelphia in recent memory. The rally will be held at the Liacouras Center at Temple University.

The 1951 J.D. Salinger novel The Catcher in the Rye has long been one of the most controversial literary tomes, inspiring films and criminal conspiracies. John Lennon’s murderer, Marc David Chapman, carried the book at the murder and continued reading it while Lennon lay bleeding at his feet. He has said that he wished to model his life after the novel's protagonist, Holden Caulfield, identifying with Holden’s misanthropic world view. John Hinckley, after his attack on President Ronald Reagan, was found to have a copy of Rye, but the book did not have anything to do with his psychosis.

It’s already bad enough that illegal aliens are going around raping and murdering our citizens. These tragedies would have been preventable if the Biden administration had instructed federal immigration officers to enforce the law. Instead, it’s been quasi-open borders for three years. Rachel Morin, a mother of five, was murdered last year in Harford County, Maryland. Police recently arrested her alleged killer, an illegal alien. This week, Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, was strangled to death by two illegals from Venezuela. And some of the media coverage has been borderline offensive.
