Lawsuit Claims Foreign Powers Sought to Interfere in 2016 Election to Help Hillary Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Feb. 3, long-time Trump associate Felix Sater filed a cross-complaint in a New York federal court. The complaint alleges that Russian and Kazakhstan-connected individuals and entities conducted “a shadow intelligence operation of Sater and Trump for the purpose of manufacturing information to harm Donald Trump politically,” including by providing Christopher Steele a PowerPoint presentation riddled with lies Steele later fed to the FBI.

Sater’s cross suit comes nearly three years after the City of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and BTA Bank filed suit against Sater, two of the companies he owned, a former business associate, and that associate’s LLCs, in City of Almaty, Kazakhstan v. Sater.

In that lawsuit, filed in May 2019, Almaty and BTA Bank alleged that Sater and the other defendants helped Mukhtar Ablyazov, the former chairman of the BTA Bank, and Viktor Khrapunov, the former mayor of the City of Almaty, launder money the duo had stolen from the plaintiffs. In the case, the plaintiffs sought recovery of millions of dollars in stolen funds, based on claims of fraud, conspiracy, unjust enrichment, and conversion.

While that case has been pending in a federal district court in New York since spring 2019, on Thursday Sater filed for the first time counterclaims against Almaty and BTA Bank. In yesterday’s filing, Sater also added the Republic of Kazakhstan and Arcanum (Asia) Ltd. as parties.

Lincoln Project Releases Trump 2024 Campaign Ad

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a hilarious, accidental promotional video for the Trump 2024 campaign, the Lincoln Project showed its talents extend beyond staging fake racism and getting in trouble for sexual harassment.

After the Biden administration announced a raid on an ISIS operative during which the terrorist set off a suicide bomb, killing himself and numerous women and children including members of his own family, the Lincoln Project made a video showing Biden’s announcement of the raid side-by-side with clips of former President Donald Trump making an announcement of a similar nature.

What is apparently lost on the oblivious LP team that mocked up the video, however, is that sane people watching will likely walk away thinking: “Gosh, I miss him.”

Biden’s announcement is rambly and full of insincere politicianese, compounded by the fact that the president has demonstrated on numerous occasions that he often doesn’t know what he’s saying. (Read more from “Lincoln Project Releases Trump 2024 Campaign Ad” HERE)

Pence Says Trump ‘Wrong’ About ‘Un-American’ Idea to Overturn Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mike Pence on Friday made his sharpest break yet with Donald Trump, saying the former president was “wrong” about Pence’s ability as vice president to overturn the 2020 election, calling the notion “un-American.”

Trump slammed Pence ahead of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, for not having the “courage” to reject swing-state electors for then-President-elect Joe Biden, but Pence until now has more gently pushed back on Trump over it.

“I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence told a gathering of the Federalist Society in Orlando, Fla.

“The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion than any one person could choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election.”

Pence, 62, is believed to be considering a 2024 campaign for president. Trump, 75, also is teasing a potential 2024 rematch against Biden and has hinted he might not pick Pence as his running mate. (Read more from “Mike Pence Says Trump ‘Wrong’ About ‘Un-American’ Idea to Overturn Election” HERE)

What You Need to Know About Alex Vindman’s Lawsuit Against Trump Officials

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On Feb. 2, Alex Vindman, the driving force of the first impeachment of President Donald Trump, filed suit in a federal court in D.C. against Donald Trump Jr, the former president’s son; Rudy Giuliani, the president’s former personal attorney; Julia Hahn, the former special assistant to the president; and Daniel Scavino Jr, a Trump communications official.

Vindman’s lawsuit alleges the four defendants conspired to intimidate and retaliate against him, in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. Here’s what you need to know about Wednesday’s lawsuit. . .

As noted, Vindman sued the four Trump-connected defendants under the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. While Vindman’s reliance on that federal statute, which sought to address violence and other discriminatory practices in the Reconstruction South, strikes an odd chord, the Supreme Court has made clear that courts should give the various reconstruction statutes “a sweep as broad as their language.” The language on which Vindman relies in his first count, Section 1985(1), is indeed broad, providing:

If two or more persons in any State or Territory conspire to prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office, trust, or place of confidence under the United States, or from discharging any duties thereof; or to induce by like means any officer of the United States to leave any State, district, or place, where his duties as an officer are required to be performed, or to injure him in his person or property on account of his lawful discharge of the duties of his office, or while engaged in the lawful discharge thereof, or to injure his property so as to molest, interrupt, hinder, or impede him in the discharge of his official duties; the party so injured or deprived may have an action for the recovery of damages occasioned by such injury or deprivation, against any one or more of the conspirators.

Thus, to properly allege a claim under Section 1985(1), Vindman need not allege any racial bias. Rather, he merely needs to “allege four elements: (1) an agreement between two or more persons; (2) to participate in an unlawful act, or a lawful act in an unlawful manner; (3) an injury caused by an unlawful overt act performed by one of the parties to the agreement; (4) which overt act was done pursuant to and in furtherance of the common scheme.” (Read more from “What You Need to Know About Alex Vindman’s Lawsuit Against Trump Officials” HERE)

Trump Celebrates ‘World-Class Sleazebag’ CNN President’s Resignation; Who Is the CNN Executive in a Secret Relationship With Jeff Zucker?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Former President Donald Trump celebrated CNN CEO Jeff Zucker’s resignation Wednesday and called the newly unemployed cable honcho a “world-class sleazebag.”

“Jeff Zucker, a world-class sleazebag who has headed ratings and real-news-challenged CNN for far too long, has been terminated for numerous reasons, but predominantly because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else,” Trump said in an emailed statement.

“Now is a chance to put Fake News in the backseat because there may not be anything more important than straightening out the horrendous LameStream Media in our Country, and in the case of CNN, throughout the World. Jeff Zucker is gone — congratulations to all!” . . .

Zucker frequently sparred with Trump during his presidency, which helped the behind-the-scenes executive become a household name — but once upon a time, the two had a cozier relationship.

As president of NBC Entertainment, Zucker was the executive who green-lit Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice.” (Read more from “Trump Celebrates ‘World-Class Sleazebag’ CNN President’s Resignation” HERE)

Who Is the CNN Executive in a Secret Relationship With Jeff Zucker?

By New York Post. The CNN executive who’s allegedly been in a secret relationship with Jeff Zucker for years is a longtime public relations specialist who’s spent her career working in television. . .

Gollust, 49, claimed she and Zucker had long been friends but their relationship changed amid the pandemic — a claim CNN insiders blasted as a “bold faced lie.” . . .

Gollust got her start as a news anchor, reporter and producer in Denver before moving to the Big Apple and hitting it big with NBC News, according to her bio on CNN.

She started at the network’s corporate communications office in 1996 and the following year, was named senior publicist for “Today.”

At the time, Zucker was the executive producer of the ratings juggernaut and the two worked hand-in-hand to bring attention to the show, Katie Couric wrote in her blistering tell-all “Going There.” (Read more from “Who Is the CNN Executive in a Secret Relationship With Jeff Zucker?” HERE)

Trump Vows to Pardon Jan. 6 Capitol Rioters if Re-Elected (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said that he will pardon those convicted for their role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot should he be re-elected during his Saturday speech at a rally in Conroe, Texas.

“If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly, and if it requires pardons we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly,” Trump said.

He then went on to characterize the actions of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, which recently issued subpoenas to a number of individuals close to Trump, as a “disgrace.”

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized Trump’s remarks as “inappropriate,” adding that it could send the wrong signal to the public. (Read more from “Trump Vows to Pardon Jan. 6 Capitol Rioters if Re-Elected (VIDEO)” HERE)

Trump Just Dropped a Major Hint About Whether He’s Running Again (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a recent round of golf in Florida, former President Donald Trump indicated he’s planning a White House run in 2024.

“Now on the tee, the 45th president of the United States,” a man filming is heard saying.

“[The] 45th and 47th,” Trump responded, wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” red hat.

Trump’s remarks on the golf course are similar to hints he’s dropped before. Back in November, Trump said he would likely wait until after the 2022 midterm elections to make a final decision about running for president.

Jan. 6 Panel’s Subpoena Furthers Complications for Rudy Giuliani, DOJ

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Jan. 6 select committee’s subpoena to former President Trump’s legal team is likely to queue up a lengthy legal battle while escalating complications for Rudy Giuliani, who is already under federal investigation.

The committee has subpoenaed Giuliani and other lawyers who pushed the Trump agenda in court, including Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Boris Epshteyn, an attorney who served as a strategic adviser for the campaign.

The subpoenas go after the Trump legal team’s strategy for denying President Biden the White House and could also open the door to a fight over whether they can skirt the committee by claiming attorney-client privilege.

It’s a tactic already floated by Giuliani’s attorney Robert Costello.

“Chairman Bennie Thompson, who is not a lawyer, should realize that Giuliani has a claim of executive privilege and a claim of attorney-client privilege,” he told CNN. (Read more from “Jan. 6 Panel’s Subpoena Furthers Complications for Rudy Giuliani, DOJ” HERE)
