DBP66 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Six of Donald Trump’s lawyers subpoenaed by Capitol attack panel Hugo Lowell in Washington Tue, March 1, 2022, 3:21 PM Photograph: Alex Brandon/AP The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack has issued new subpoenas to lawyers for Donald Trump suspected to be involved in efforts to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. The subpoenas – authorized hours before Biden’s first State of the Union address – targeted documents and testimony from Cleta Mitchell, Kurt Olsen, Katherine Freiss, Phillip Kline, Kenneth Chesebro and the pro-Trump One America News host Christina Bobb. “The select committee is seeking information about attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of electoral votes and any efforts to corruptly change the outcome of the 2020 election,” said Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the panel. “The six individuals we’ve subpoenaed today all have knowledge related to those matters and will help the select committee better understand all the various strategies employed to potentially affect the outcome of the election,” Thompson said. The subpoenas reflect the panel’s focus on Trump’s schemes to stop Biden’s certification from taking place, so that the former president’s associates could buy time to co-opt state legislatures to send Trump slates of electors to return him to office. The Guardian previously reported that Trump was himself intimately involved in the scheme and called the Trump “war room” set up in the Willard hotel in Washington the night before the Capitol attack to discuss ways to stop Biden’s certification from happening entirely. The Trump operatives involved in the Willard operation included Bobb, who joined the legal team at the hotel led by Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani and another Trump lawyer, John Eastman. The select committee said they subpoenaed Bobb as she was also involved in drawing up a draft executive order that would have directed federal agencies to seize voting machines in states Biden narrowly won over Trump on the basis of claims of election fraud. Mitchell was subpoenaed, the panel said, after she appeared to have contacts with GOP lawmakers and participated in the infamous phone call when Trump pressured Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensberger to “find” votes to reverse his loss in the state. The select committee also ordered documents and testimony from Freiss, a Trump lawyer who the panel said played a role in drawing up the draft executive order to seize voting machines. The Guardian reported that one version of the draft executive order was reviewed by Trump at a December 2020 White House meeting, and then verbally agreed to appoint Sidney Powell, another Trump attorney and conspiracy theorist, as special counsel to probe election fraud. Olsen pressured the justice department to open an investigation into election fraud, according to an interim Senate judiciary committee report released last year. Olsen also helped to draw up a draft executive order for Trump that would have directed the justice department to “take voter action” and, citing documents on file with the panel, had multiple calls with Trump on 6 January, the select committee said. Kline convened a meeting with 300 state legislators in an attempt to encourage them to sign a letter urging Mike Pence, then the vice-president, to delay the certification. Chesebro actively promoted legal theories within the Trump campaign supporting the use of slates of bogus electors in states the former president lost, the select committee chairman said in his subpoena letter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBP66 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Jan. 6 panel argues Trump was involved in ‘criminal conspiracy’ to overturn election The House committee said in a court filing that members of the Trump campaign may have been involved, as well. March 2, 2022, 10:13 PM EST By Phil Helsel and Garrett Haake The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol argued in a new court filing that former President Donald Trump and members of his campaign were part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results. “The Select Committee ... has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” the panel wrote in a legal brief filed Wednesday. The filing focuses largely on John Eastman, a Trump-allied lawyer who wrote memos arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the election. The committee previously subpoenaed Eastman to turn over documents but said he claims they are protected by attorney-client privilege. The brief argues for a court review of the disputed materials, and it says there is evidence to support a belief that a review “may reveal that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in common law fraud in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.” “The facts we’ve gathered strongly suggest that Dr. Eastman’s emails may show that he helped Donald Trump advance a corrupt scheme to obstruct the counting of electoral college ballots and a conspiracy to impede the transfer of power," the committee’s chair and vice chair, Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement Wednesday. The legal brief signifies the most direct line the committee has tried to draw between Trump, his allies and potential criminal activity surrounding the 2020 election. Wednesday’s civil filing lists conspiracy to defraud the United States; obstruction of an official proceeding; and common law fraud. It says Trump and Eastman sought to have Pence reject electors or delay Congress’ counting of electoral votes so the results could be manipulated. Pence did not do so. Trump and Eastman have not been charged with any crime. Jan. 6 panel argues Trump was involved in ‘criminal conspiracy’ to overturn election haveeen charged with any crime.

DBP66 Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Donald Trump reportedly has yet to post on Truth Social since he launched the social-media app 2 weeks ago Donald Trump reportedly has yet to post on Truth Social since he launched the social-media app 2 weeks ago Grace Dean Fri, March 4, 2022, 6:16 AM Former President Donald Trump announced he was creating his own social-media app in October 2021 after he was banned from several social-media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTubeBrandon Bell/Getty Images Trump's Truth Social app launched in February after he was barred from Twitter and other platforms. The former president hasn't yet posted on Truth Social, Axios reported. In interviews he's spoken about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but hasn't posted about it on the app. Former President Donald Trump hasn't yet posted on Truth Social, the social-media app he launched late February after being barred by Twitter and other platforms, Axios reported. The social-media app came out on February 20 but is currently only available for US iPhone users. Its launch was plagued with technical hiccups: Many people who downloaded the app say they were unable to create accounts or were placed on waitlists. As of Wednesday, Trump hadn't posted at all since the platform launched, according to Axios. Popular Information's Judd Legum also said late Thursday that Trump had not added any posts. Insider was unable to verify these claims because Truth Social is still restricting access to the app. Axios pointed out that Trump discussed Russia's invasion with Ukraine with multiple news outlets, but has yet to post his thoughts on Truth Social, where they would have garnered more interest in the app. The only post on Trump's account is from its beta trial in mid-February, when he told users: "Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!" Trump's account on the app had fewer than 80,000 followers as of Wednesday, Axios reported. Trump had close to 90 million Twitter followers before his account was suspended. Trump announced he was creating his own social-media app in October 2021 after he was banned from several social-media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol siege. Trump has repeatedly criticized the platforms for removing his accounts, accusing them of censoring free speech. Insider's Rosie Bradbury downloaded Truth Social the day after its launch, but was only able to create an account on her fifth attempt and has been on a wait list ever since. Truth Social said that "overwhelming demand" meant that that it had to limit how many people could create accounts. "We have resolved the performance bottlenecks with new user registration and validation, and are working through the new user waitlist at an accelerated rate," Truth Social said in a status update Wednesday. The app's user interface looks a lot like Twitter, with the ability to "follow" other users, three tabs on each user's page to view their posts, posts and replies, and shared media, and a cover photo and circular profile picture for each account. Truth Social's logo is also remarkably similar to that of British company Trailar, which fixes solar panels on trucks. An executive at the company told Insider in late February that it was considering legal action against Truth Social because of the similarity of the two logos. As of Friday morning, Truth Social sits at the No. 11 spot on the Apple App Store's social-media rankings. It has a 4.2-star rating based on 36,300 reviews.

DBP66 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 This Week Dropped Several Legal Bombshells On Trump Jeremy Stahl - Yesterday 5:26 PM © Provided by Slate On Thursday, Donald Trump released his latest statement condemning the House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump ranted that the “Unselect Committee’s sole goal is to try to prevent President Trump, who is leading by large margins in every poll, from running again for president, if I so choose.” His frustration is understandable: This week, investigators into the Jan. 6 attack from both Congress and the Department of Justice came closer than ever before to explicitly putting a target on Trump’s back. It’s worth recapping the full week’s revelations just to see how bad it was for Trump. First, on Wednesday morning, the select committee announced in a legal filing that it believed Trump might have engaged in a felony surrounding his efforts to subvert the election. The committee argued that attorney-client privilege couldn’t attach to testimony and documents being kept under wraps by John Eastman, one of the architects of Trump’s plan to disrupt the electoral count on Jan. 6. “The Select Committee also has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” they alleged. Eastman’s testimony and documents would not be protected by attorney-client privilege, the committee argued, due to the crime/fraud exception stating that the privilege is waived when the material under question is part of a criminal act. Essentially, the committee said it believes Eastman and Trump took part in a federal crime that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $500,000 fine. As the committee also noted, Eastman exercised his Fifth Amendment against self-incriminating testimony 146 separate times during his December testimony. The filing also revealed for the first time that Eastman wrote to Vice President Mike Pence’s attorney after the Capitol insurrection to make one final plea for Pence to delay the counting of the electoral votes. “I implore you to consider one more relatively minor violation” of the law “and adjourn for 10 days,” Eastman pleaded. If the vote count had been postponed, Pence and Congress would have been delayed in certifying that Joe Biden had won the election. It would have also given then-President Trump time to do who knows what to thwart the inauguration (he reportedly considered a draft executive order seizing voting machines and several of his close confidantes had proposed he declare martial law during that time). Critically, though, Eastman acknowledged in this email to Pence that he knew what he was asking for was a violation of the law. “Plaintiff knew what he was proposing would violate the law, but he nonetheless urged the Vice President to take those actions,” the committee wrote. The committee didn’t stop there, releasing damning testimony from Trump’s close aides who said that they repeatedly told him that conspiracy theories around the election were bogus and had been refuted by a Department of Justice investigation. Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller, for instance, told the committee that he had “several” conversations with Trump in which he told the president that “specific to election day fraud and irregularities, there were not enough to overturn the election.” Miller also said that he was at an Oval Office meeting while the votes were still being counted during which Trump was told outright he was going to lose the vote. “I remember [campaign data specialist Matt Oczkowski] delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose,” Miller testified. In separate testimony, former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue told Trump that his claims of fraud had been checked by the Department of Justice and were completely bogus. Even after being told, on multiple separate occasions, that there was no evidence of fraud Trump still threatened to fire Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and replace him with Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Jeffrey Clark who was promising to announce that non-existent fraud had likely happened and to tell state legislatures to reconsider their votes. “The President said something to the effect of, ‘What do I have to lose? If I do this, what do I have to lose?’” Donoghue testified of Trump’s response to pushback to this part of a coup plan. Consider the magnitude of this evidence. Not only did Eastman know what he was doing was illegal, but also Trump was repeatedly told by his own staff that he had lost and that his claims about fraud were wrong. Yet he still went ahead with Eastman’s plan anyway. These facts suggest that both men knew—or were clearly told—what they were doing was wrong and did it anyway, negating attorney-client privilege if a crime was committed. Finally, and perhaps worst of all for Trump, the committee says it’s possible Trump engaged in a conspiracy with rioters that day, though there is less evidence in the filing to that effect. “In addition to the legal effort to delay the certification, there is also evidence that the conspiracy extended to the rioters engaged in acts of violence at the Capitol,” the committee wrote. On Wednesday afternoon, another (big) shoe dropped regarding potential links between Trump and the Jan. 6 mob. After the Jan. 6 committee’s filing, the Department of Justice announced that a member of the Oath Keepers militia, Joshua James, pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy for his role organizing the attack on the Capitol. Why is that bad for Trump? James had been previously photographed as a bodyguard for Trump confidante and political fixer, Roger Stone. Indeed, the morning of Jan. 6, James was seen in Stone’s private hotel suite at the Willard in Washington D.C. just hours before he joined the assault on the Capitol. James is now going to cooperate with investigators and take part in grand jury testimony, presumably against the other Oath Keeper defendants charged with seditious conspiracy, including Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes, who Stone was also in close contact with in the days before the insurrection, according to public records. James would also presumably have to testify about what he saw in Stone’s “War Room” at the Willard prior to the assault on the Capitol. To recap: the DOJ investigation has moved one step closer to Trump, and potentially just one step away from directly implicating the former president via Stone. As if that wasn’t bad enough for the former president, on Thursday, his son Donald Trump Jr’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who was in close contact with the president on Jan. 6, was hit with a subpoena for her testimony by the Jan. 6 committee. And if all of that wasn’t enough, Trump got even more bad news on Friday, after his enraged statement against the committee, when the Washington Post reported details of an upcoming documentary by Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, which details Stone’s activities in the leadup to and aftermath of Jan. 6. Those details are staggering. Guldbrandsen’s documentary reportedly includes footage of James and Stone together; footage of Stone on the phone as the attack was happening; images of Stone’s cell phone showing his connection to Rhodes and to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio (members of the Proud Boys have also been charged in the organizing the assault on the Capitol); and a draft memo Stone wrote to Trump after the Capitol insurrection seeking pardons for himself, others involved in Jan. 6, and even multiple members of the Colombo crime family convicted of murder and racketeering in the 1990s. According to the Post’s account of the documentary, when the pardons weren’t delivered, Stone turned on Trump: Stone unloaded on Donald Trump, saying he had betrayed his friends, deserved to be impeached and was the “greatest single mistake in American history.” Stone added that Trump might be vulnerable to prosecution by federal authorities in Manhattan after declining to preemptively pardon himself. “A good, long sentence in prison will give him a chance to think about it, because the Southern District is coming for him, and he did nothing,” Stone said. Though months later he would support a possible Trump bid for the White House in 2024, on Inauguration Day he mocked the idea. “Run again! You’ll get your f—ing brains beat in,” Stone said. Stone had already been pardoned by Trump previously after being sentenced to three years in prison for witness intimidation and lying to investigators to cover up what he and Trump may have known about Wikileaks’ release of hacked documents of the Clinton campaign during the 2016 election. After the lack of preemptive pardons, Stone also reportedly wrote a message to another Trump associate: “see you in prison.” Stone doesn’t sound like the most reliable friend for Trump to have at this point, especially since he can no longer dangle pardons in front of his face to keep him quiet. So after a week full of damning revelations, no wonder the former president is upset! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP66 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Donald Trump Jr.'s Fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle Has Been Called to Testify About January 6 Kristyn Burtt Fri, March 4, 2022, 1:09 PM Kimberly Guilfoyle is discovering her luck has run out when it comes to avoiding the House Select Committee that is investigating the insurrection events on Jan. 6, 2021. After suddenly ending proceedings on Feb. 25 because she claims she didn’t know committee members would be participating in her voluntary deposition, Guilfoyle now finds herself on the receiving end of a subpoena. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the panel, addressed Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée’s first meeting, stating that she “backed out of her original commitment to provide a voluntary interview.” The Select Committee believes that she holds crucial information because she “met with Donald Trump inside the White House, spoke at the rally that took place before the riot on January 6th, and apparently played a key role organizing and raising funds for that event,” according to Thompson’s statement. The Mississippi representative added that they “expect her to comply with the law and cooperate.” With Guilfoyle’s phone records already a part of the investigation, the Select Committee is looking for her to fill in the holes of what happened that day when she communicated with the president. This adds another layer to the investigation as last week there were reports that daughter Ivanka Trump turned down the opportunity to voluntarily speak with the committee and is also on the list of subpoena possibilities. While she did not speak at the Jan. 6 rally before the insurrection, she was reportedly brought into the Oval Office several times to convince her father to calm the rioters. As for Guilfoyle, she has been ordered to turn over documents to the committee by March 11 and appear for her deposition on March 15, so they can get to the heart of the incident. With the investigation closing in on the inner Trump circle, it’s only a matter of time before a family member is brought before the committee next.

DBP66 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 ‘SNL’s Donald Trump Sings ‘My Funny Valentine’ to Putin in Cold Open (Video) Adam Chitwood Sat, March 5, 2022, 11:56 PM “Saturday Night Live” took on Fox News’ coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the cold open of Saturday’s episode, complete with Donald Trump singing a romantic rendition of “My Funny Valentine” directly to Vladimir Putin. The cold open introduced a telethon called the “Fox News Ukrainian Invasion Celebration Spectacular,” hosted by Tucker Carlson (played by Alex Moffat, introducing himself as being “like if a pair of boat shoes came to life”) and Laura Ingraham (Kate McKinnon). The duo kicked off the festivities by acknowledging Fox News had gotten into a little bit of trouble with their coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I kept asking, ‘Why do we hate Putin, aren’t liberals in America even worse?,” Moffat’s Carlson said, as the two pointed to Fox News’ coverage leading up to Russia’s invasion, during which many pundits downplayed a potential move on Ukraine. As for the focus of the telethon, Ingraham said, “We’re raising money for the real victims of this invasion: the oligarchs.” She then threw to James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump answering telephones, where he was seen rambling about Rihanna and whales to an unseen caller. Back on the main stage, Bowen Yang made an appearance as Steven Sagal who noted he would be honoring Putin “by performing a tae kwon do exhibition.” Another cutaway to Trump found him telling a caller about his favorite foods. “My favorite food is probably bread, and more specifically bun,” he said. And what would a telethon be without a musical number? Carlson and Ingraham invited Kimberly Guilfoyle (Cecily Strong) and Donald Trump Jr. (Mikey Day) to sing a duet “in honor of Russia and Ukraine coming together,” and they launched into a Russia-leaning rendition of “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born.” Carlson and Ingraham then teased telethon viewers with some of the prizes they could win, which included “tickets to see Matt Gaetz do a live reading of his favorite Russian novel, ‘Lolita.’” But the funniest musical number was saved for last, as Trump left the phone bank and made a direct address to Putin. “You is smart, you is kind, you is important,” he said at the onset in a nod to a line from the 2011 film “The Help” before singing “My Funny Valentine” directly to the Russian dictator. “I love you Vlad,” he added before the cast broke into the iconic “Live from New York it’s Saturday night!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving the news: The criminal charges against Mesa County clerk Tina Peters announced Wednesday include seven felony counts for attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation and identify theft. She is also charged with official misconduct — a misdemeanor. A warrant has been issued for her arrest, the Mesa County district attorney's office said in a statement Wednesday. Why it matters: Peters is a nationally known promoter of debunked election fraud conspiracies and a Republican candidate for secretary of state, the Colorado office that oversees elections. The backstory: The indictment came after numerous local, state and federal investigations into election equipment tampering. Peters, a supporter of former President Trump, claims election files were discarded after the 2020 election, but her own department says that's untrue and the election results are securely archived.

DBP66 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 ” Stephen Miller Sues Over Jan. 6 Subpoena of T-Mobile Family Plan Erik Larson - 4h ago Follow View Profile React|821 © Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- Trump White House senior advisor Stephen Miller sued the House Jan. 6 committee to block a subpoena of his parents’ T-Mobile family plan which provides him with a number. The federal suit filed Wednesday in Washington is the latest effort by associates of former President Donald Trump seeking to prevent the House select committee from getting records and testimony that could shed light on the attack on the Capitol. Unlike some other members of Trump inner circle though, Miller said the Jan. 6 attack was “disturbing” and that the House probe is legitimate. Even so, he argues the subpoena is overly broad and an “unreasonable search” because the committee and its chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, have no reason to believe he was involved in the Capitol siege. “The chairman and the select committee are misusing their authority to investigate political adversaries, painting their opposition with a broad brush as insurrectionists and domestic terrorists,” Miller said. “The select committee cannot demonstrate a compelling justification that would justify this intrusion.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
