Judge Unseals Heavily Redacted Trove of Evidence in Trump’s 2020 Election Interference Case

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part had already been made public, including screenshots of Trump social media posts about the 2020 election and a transcript of the video statement he made on Jan. 6, 2021 in, which he told the rioters attacking the Capitol to go home, but added: “we love you” and “you’re very special.”

The overwhelming majority of the pages released Friday were whited-out. The redacted files are believed to include things like transcripts of grand jury testimony, which remain under wraps because of grand jury secrecy rules.

Trump Says Kamala Harris Lied About Working at McDonald’s: ‘We Checked It Out’

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump said Friday on Fox & Friends that Vice President Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonald’s.

“She lied,” Trump said. Show host Brian Kilmeade asked, “You don’t think she ever worked at McDonald’s?”

Trump responded, “I know she didn’t. We checked it out. Unless somebody comes up with something. We checked it out. They said, ‘She never worked here.’”

Trump added, “She even picked a store, we went to the manager, the manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember here?’ ‘No, she never worked here.’”

After Harris claimed to have worked at a McDonald’s, her campaign later said it was a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in the summer of 1983. There are only two McDonald’s in Alameda, as reported by Breitbart News as part of a deep dive report into her upbringing. The Harris campaign did not respond to a query by Breitbart News as to which McDonald’s in Alameda she worked at.

Kamala Harris Is Priming Democrats for Violent Resistance if Trump Wins

By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president.

But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps.

She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he’s been subjected to.

The vice president, her voice rising in outrage, jabbed her finger at Baier and said, “You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”

At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn’t support him to be an enemy of the United States. “He is saying he would use the military to go after them.” (Read more from “Kamala Harris Is Priming Democrats for Violent Resistance if Trump Wins” HERE)

Trump Points Finger at Zelensky for Russia’s Invasion: ‘He Should Never Have Let That War Start’ (VIDEO)

Former President Donald Trump faulted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Thursday over Russia’s unprovoked, bloody invasion of his country in February 2022.

During a riff about the state of the US under the Biden-Harris administration, Trump decried the billions in aid that Washington has funneled to Kyiv and declared that Zelensky “should never have let that war start.”

“I think Zelensky is one of the greatest salesmen I’ve seen,” the 78-year-old mused on the “PBD Podcast” with host Patrick Bet-David.

“Every time he comes in, we give him $100 billion. Who else got that kind of money in history?

“That doesn’t mean I don’t want to help him, because I feel very badly for those people,” the Republican nominee added, “but he should never have let that war start. That war’s a loser, Ukraine, remember, is not Ukraine anymore.” (Read more from “Trump Points Finger at Zelensky for Russia’s Invasion: ‘He Should Never Have Let That War Start’” HERE)

Sheriff ‘Fabricated Allegations’ of Third Assassination Attempt on Trump So He Could Seem ‘Heroic’ in Arresting ‘Staunch’ Trump Supporter: Lawsuit

The 49-year-old Nevada man who was arrested at Donald Trump’s California rally on Saturday while carrying two loaded firearms has filed a federal lawsuit claiming the county and sheriff violated his constitutional rights and publicly lied about the incident when authorities said they had stopped him from attempting to assassinate the former president.

Vem Miller on Tuesday filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Nevada in which he names Riverside County, the sheriff’s office, and Sheriff Chad Bianco as defendants. Among the causes of action for seeking damages, Miller alleges he was subjected to deprivation of his civil rights, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.

Miller, who was charged with one misdemeanor count each of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, says he is a “staunch supporter” of Trump and a Republican candidate for the Nevada Assembly who had no intention of harming the former president.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office said that at about 5 p.m. on Oct. 12, deputies assigned to Trump’s rally in Coachella Valley stopped Miller at a checkpoint and found him to be “illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.”

In a subsequent news conference, Bianco said that he “probably did have deputies that prevented a third assassination attempt” against Trump.

Mark Halperin Tells Tucker Carlson Trump Win Would Cause ‘Greatest Mental Health Crisis’ in U.S. History (VIDEO)

Journalist Mark Halperin told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Tuesday that he believes a reelection victory for former President Donald Trump would trigger an historic “mental health crisis.”

Trump currently holds narrow leads over Vice President Kamala Harris in every battleground state except Wisconsin, according to the RealClearPolling averages. Halperin, on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” warned that a Trump win could prompt widespread mental health issues, including addiction, divorce and violence.

“I say this not flippantly. I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like,” Halperin said. “I think that it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace. I think there’ll be some degree of protests.”

Carlson asked the journalist if he was “being serious,” to which Halperin answered he absolutely was. (Read more from “Mark Halperin Tells Tucker Carlson Trump Win Would Cause ‘Greatest Mental Health Crisis’ in U.S. History (VIDEO)” HERE)

Far-Left Article Says Trump Supporters ‘Infected’ With ‘Dangerous and Lethal…Disease’

Donald Trump has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn’t stop the far-left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are “infected” with a “contagious disease” called “Authoritarian Violence Disorder” and that Trump “is a massive superspreader.” (I don’t link fake news meant to inspire assassins, which is what this obviously is.)

Welcome to the Democrat party’s latest edition of assassination porn…

Under the headline, “‘Brain flaws’: Understanding MAGA as an epidemic disease” and the subheadline, “Epidemiologist Dr. Gary Slutkin: MAGA is a ‘dangerous and lethal syndrome’ of ‘Authoritarian Violence Disorder,’” we are told Slutkin is “a distinguished epidemiologist, formerly with the World Health Organization.” And under the guise of stopping violence, he fires off this Nazi-style propaganda to inspire violence against Trump and his “diseased” supporters.

Just as Adolf Hitler used “experts” to dehumanize Jewish people as genetically inferior and a dangerous disease, so does Salon use Slutkin…

“I understand MAGA as an epidemic disease, infecting many through what I call brain flaws.’” Slutkin explains. “It is not their fault. There are brain pathways for copying and following others — in the cortex, dopamine system, and pain centers, to motivate conformity and violence.” (Read more from “Far-Left Article Says Trump Supporters ‘Infected’ With ‘Dangerous and Lethal…Disease’” HERE)

HYPOCRITES: Biden Suggests He Wants Trump in Prison — After Kamala Warns Trump Will Prosecute Opponents

President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday that he is looking forward to seeing former President Donald Trump imprisoned — right after Vice President Kamala Harris warned that Trump would prosecute his opponents.

Speaking at a rally for Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biden said:

And folks, look. This is the same guy who’s been held liable for $83 million for sexual abuse and defamation, the same guy for getting rid of Roe V. Wade, the same guy with three other major cases waiting for him when he loses. And by the way, 34 felonies, and so far — he had to get sentenced. He got the sentence kick back, but I want to watch that sentence. Look, Donald Trump is not running for you. He’s running for himself. I think he’s running to stay out of jail.

Earlier, on The Breakfast Club, with host “Charlamagne tha God,” Harris had warned:

Harris: Donald Trump has been very clear that he would weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies [sic]. He has been very clear that he would take out the independent folks who are in there and put in there instead his loyalists [sic]. So understand, again, you talk about — because this brings back to exactly your point about threats to the to our democracy. Donald Trump would go into the Department of Justice and manipulate it in such a way that it would be used as a weapon against his political enemies.

Two Men Shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks at Trump’s Butler Rally Reveal Who They Blame

Two men who Thomas Matthew Crooks brutally injured at Donald Trump’s deadly July 13 Butler, Pennsylvania, rally have shared what happened after they were shot.

Jim Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 54, were both hit after the late 20-year-old Crooks opened up fire on the ex-president. Tragically, Crooks killed father and firefighter Corey Comperatore as he was shielding his family.

Revealing for the first time what happened to them after they received a barrage of gunfire, the pair sat down with Tom Llamas on NBC Nightly News in a highly-anticipated interview that aired Monday evening. . .

The two also cast blame on the security officials in charge that day. . .

‘I believe there was 100 percent negligence on the Secret Service, probably everybody involved in setting that security, down to inter-department communications,’ he added. (Read more from “Two Men Shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks at Trump’s Butler Rally Reveal Who They Blame” HERE)

JD Vance Could Oust Donald Trump From the Presidency Under This Scenario

If former President Donald Trump wins, his victory may be short-lived, retired American Enterprise Institute scholar Norm Ornstein speculated to Salon’s Chauncey DeVega — because his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, could essentially give him the boot if it becomes clear his cognitive decline has become too severe to carry out the basic functions of office.

This is a consequence of the 25th Amendment, which provides a mechanism for the president’s Cabinet to sideline him from duty if they deem the President cannot execute his duties.

“As the election approaches, I think we will see, excuse the cliche, more of Trump being Trump,” Ornstein told DeVega. “I also think we will see an increase in his cognitive decline, which I hope against hope is covered in the mainstream media. The public must be reminded that while the vice president is the only member of the Executive Branch who can’t be fired, the president can essentially be fired by the vice president should he become significantly impaired. This is accomplished through the 25th Amendment.”

“People must realize that a vote for Trump could easily be a vote for a President Vance,” said Ornstein. (Read more from “JD Vance Could Oust Donald Trump From the Presidency Under This Scenario” HERE)
