DA Alvin Bragg Sues Rep. Jim Jordan Over Trump Indictment Subpoenas

/0 Comments/in , /by

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan, alleging that the Republican lawmaker is trying to wage a campaign of intimidation over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

In his lawsuit, the Democratic D.A. said he’s taking legal action “in response to an unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump.”

Bragg is asking a judge to invalidate subpoenas that Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has or plans to issue as part of an investigation of Bragg’s handling of the Trump case.

“Chairman Jordan’s subpoena is an unconstitutional attempt to undermine an ongoing New York felony criminal prosecution and investigation,” Bragg said. “As our complaint details, this is an unprecedented, illegitimate interference by Congress that lacks any legal merit and defies basic principles of federalism.” . . .

In recent weeks, the Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena seeking testimony from a former prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, who previously oversaw the Trump investigation. The committee has also sought documents and testimony about the case from Bragg and his office. Bragg has rejected those requests. (Read more from “DA Alvin Bragg Sues Rep.

Trump Delivers Blistering Easter Message While Melania Breaks Silence After Arrest

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Melania Trump on Sunday broke her silence for the first time since her husband’s indictment and arrest, while hubby Donald delivered a blistering message to critics.

“Happy Easter!” the former first lady tweeted above a photo of a pink rose, the first time she has posted something online since the Manhattan criminal firestorm engulfing her husband took off. . .

Meanwhile, on Sunday, the former president wrote in a snarky all-caps message posted on his Truth Social site, “Happy Easter to All” — including “weak & pathetic RINOS [Republicans in Name Only]” and “radical left Democrats, socialists Marxists, & communists” and others who oppose stricter border security and voting laws.

Trump last week pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to alleged hush-money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, as well as a “catch and kill” reporting scheme involving the National Enquirer and another purported Trump mistress, Karen McDougal, in a case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The unprecedented indictment comes as Trump, 76, is attempting to regain the White House for a third time, running for the 2024 Republican nomination. It follows a five-year investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into Trump and his business dealings — a probe that Republicans have blasted as a politically motivated crusade.

Biden Signs Measure to End COVID-19 National Emergency

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than three years after then-President Donald Trump proclaimed the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency, President Joe Biden on Monday signed a measure to terminate the national emergency.

When the H.J. Res. 7 measure passed the House chamber earlier this year, only 11 Democrats voted to approve it, but a larger number of Senate Democrats voted for passage when the measure cleared the Senate chamber in a 68-23 vote.

The Biden administration had opposed the measure that the president signed on Monday.

“The Administration strongly opposes enactment of H.R. 382 and H.J. Res. 7, which would be a grave disservice to the American people,” a statement of administration policy dated January 30, 2023 noted.

“The COVID-19 national emergency and public health emergency (PHE) were declared by the Trump Administration in 2020. They are currently set to expire on March 1 and April 11, respectively. At present, the Administration’s plan is to extend the emergency declarations to May 11, and then end both emergencies on that date,” the administration’s statement said, warning that “an abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system.” (Read more from “Biden Signs Measure to End COVID-19 National Emergency” HERE)

Don’t Let the Atomic Weapons Fool You. America Is a Third World Country.

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Don’t let the industrial prowess and atomic weapons fool you. Haiti and Honduras have nothing on the USA regarding a legal system that the ruling party hurls like a harpoon at its opponents and holsters on behalf of its friends.

Masons should chisel quotation marks around the words in marble above the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Equal Justice Under Law” is now purely sarcastic.

Consider the radically different treatment afforded 2016’s presidential nominees.

Republican Donald J. Trump is in a heap of trouble, thanks to Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg. On Tuesday, Bragg indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of first-degree falsification of business records. . .

So, what punishment did Hillary Clinton endure for funneling six figures to her lawyers to smear Trump, sway the 2016 election, and then shroud her evil with bogus bookkeeping? (Read more from “Don’t Let the Atomic Weapons Fool You. America Is a Third World Country.” HERE)

Arms Dealer Viktor Bout Urges Trump to Seek Refuge in Russia as His Life Is ‘in Peril’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, freed from a U.S. jail last year, on Friday urged U.S. ex-president Donald Trump to seek refuge in Russia as his life was “in peril.”

Bout, also known as the “Merchant of Death,” was swapped for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner in a high-profile prisoner exchange between Moscow and Washington in December.

“I believe your life is in peril,” Bout wrote in a telegram sent to Trump and shown to the press in Moscow.

“The Biden administration will not stop just by dragging you through the court/prison industrial complex,” he said, referring to Trump’s successor Joe Biden.

“They would sooner end your life than let you stand in their way.”

Bout told Trump, whom he has long admired, that he would find a “safe haven and from here you can lead the fight for the American people.” (Read more from “Arms Dealer Viktor Bout Urges Trump to Seek Refuge in Russia as His Life Is ‘in Peril'” HERE)

Lilly Whitworth, 19, wrote a detailed manifesto and possessed floor plans of [his] intended target before she was busted on March 31 for making threats to various schools, including Timberview Middle School, which [he] once attended, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by news station KRDO.

[He] also owned a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, according to an arrest affidavit. . .

Donald Trump: ‘Almost $10 Million Raised for the Campaign’ in Wake of Indictment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Almost $10 million was raised for former President Donald Trump’s campaign in the wake of his indictment, Trump announced on Truth Social this week.

Citing his rising poll numbers and the influx of campaign donations, Trump wrote:

As much as I can enjoy a day like Tuesday, where the Radical Left Lunatics, Maniacs, and Perverts had me Indicted and ARRESTED for no reason whatsoever, there was no Crime, it was an unbelievable experience, perhaps the Best Day in History for somebody who had just suffered Unjustifiable Indictment!

“My Poll Numbers have never been better, almost $10 Million was raised for the Campaign and, the day was capped off with a very important Speech. If we don’t stop the Radical Left, America is DEAD!” he exclaimed:

Biden Blames Trump for Messy Afghanistan Withdrawal — Then Sneaks Away to Camp David

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House Thursday released its first after-action review of the disastrous 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan – without taking responsibility for its role in the rushed evacuation mission blighted by the deaths of 13 US service members and hundreds of Afghans in an ISIS suicide bombing.

As National Security Council spokesman John Kirby took questions from reporters about the 12-page document — released moments before he met the media — President Biden himself slipped out the front door of the White House to a waiting helicopter, departing Washington to spend the Easter holiday weekend at Camp David.

The review blames former President Donald Trump’s administration for pledging to the Taliban that the US would leave Afghanistan by May 2021 as part of the Doha agreement — a move that supposedly left his successor no option but to pull American forces out. In fact, the deal also gave the US the right to withdraw from the accord if Afghan peace talks failed — which they did.

“During the transition from the Trump Administration to the Biden administration, the outgoing administration provided no plans for how to conduct the final withdrawal or to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies,” the document states. “There were no such plans in place when President Biden came into office, even with the agreed-upon full withdrawal just over three months away.” (Read more from “Biden Blames Trump for Messy Afghanistan Withdrawal — Then Sneaks Away to Camp David” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump still leads the Republican field in Iowa, according to the first poll taken in the Hawkeye State following Trump’s indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The J.L. Partners survey shared exclusively with The Post Thursday showed the 76-year-old leading his main prospective rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 47% to 39% among registered Republicans in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup — with 15% still undecided.

In a six-person GOP field that includes DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the 45th president receives 41% support, followed by DeSantis on 26%.

The pair are followed by Haley on 5% and Pence and Pompeo on 3% each, while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin each garner 1%.

One-fifth of those polled said they would either back another candidate or were undecided, with 14% saying the latter. (Read more from “Trump Leads Ron DeSantis by 8% In First Iowa Head-To-Head Poll Post-Arrest” HERE)
