Trump's world....

Right now I lean to DeSantis for 2024, but it would be worth it for the God Emperor to return to the White House just to see Dumbass66's meltdown.

Did not Trump spend like the majority of his term complaining about and blaming Obama for all of his own problems?

Former Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson to testify at Jan. 6 hearing, sources say

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a top adviser to former President Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, is expected to testify Tuesday before the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol attack, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The committee announced on Monday that a newly scheduled hearing on Tuesday would "present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony" -- but the committee did not say who that witness would be.

Punchbowl first reported the news of her scheduled appearance.

Through her scheduled testimony, Hutchinson is expected to put a voice to many of the internal White House interactions involving the events of Jan. 6 that have been reported publicly, and offer significant insight into Meadows' actions and interactions with Trump on Jan. 6 and in the days before and after, sources said.

During earlier depositions with the committee, Hutchinson confirmed to committee investigators accounts that Meadows had burned documents in his office, according to sources. Meadows has not commented on those allegations, and it's not clear if they would have violated any record-keeping regulations.

Hutchinson has met with the committee three separate times for closed-door depositions.

Clips from some of those depositions have already been played publicly, including some where she was discussing members of Congress asking the White House for pardons.

Hutchinson's agreement to testify publicly comes after months of negotiations between the committee and her counsel, sources said. Hutchinson hired a new attorney, Jody Hunt, earlier this month to represent her as the public Jan. 6 hearings began.

At the start of the Trump administration, Hunt served as chief of staff to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He later became the head of the Department of Justice's Civil Division.

Apparently virtually all of the hearsay is going to be debunked.  Which makes all her eyewitness testimony that is not corroborated suspect.  Democrats couldn’t resist dunking on Trump with gossip and they likely destroyed their own witness.

Cassidy's J6 "testimony:" And then Alexander Vindman told me that Fiona Hill said that Igor Danchenko swore that the USSS guys totally said that. And then he grabbed the wheel and called Ukraine. 
She said as she smirked, Peter Strozk-like at the camera.

she never said it was an eye-witness account...she testified as to who told her what and her lawyer backed her up last night saying she was willing to say what she said under oath...let's see what happens now....she didn't make it up and we know Trump was losing his mind at the time of this allegation....and we know he's f*in nuts...😉

FYI, Joe Biden's approval gap (-19.3%) is now approaching the lowest point seen during the God Emperor's presidency (-21.1% very briefly in December of 2017).

Biden's approval gap has dropped 39.6% since he entered the White House.

Unlike Trump, who had to deal with an openly hostile (and lying) press from even before taking office, Biden has actually achieved this catastrophic result with a fawning and supine media.

Incredible.

If he would’ve at least acted normal during his presidency and not rant and raved about absolutely everyone he came into contact with; and every subject he took on

we probably wouldn’t be talking about him.

Of course, to most right wing followers Donald Trump could do no wrong but from an unbiased outsider looking in; he’s an absolute narcissistic nutcase and he doesn’t help himself in any fashion.

I thought he was/is funny as hell but I get many people took that heavy sarcasm he has very literal and seriously thus got all offended and shit. Then he would needle them more sending them into some crazy rage.. Kinda like a internet troll does to some people. I have been guilty of this..lol

Yes, he is hilarious but I also see him as a condescending asshole and someone with the potential to do something extraordinarily dangerous 😌

He has no logical rationale or filter and he could do absolutely anything.

If it were a reality t.v. show instead of a presidency, I would have zero problem with him.

It’s funny, Everyone said Hillary would be one hot flash from pressing the button ; but that describes Trump much better.

Cheney: Trump's Jan. 6 actions 'more threatening than we could have imagined'

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said Wednesday that the Jan. 6 committee’s work has shown that former President Donald Trump’s involvement in a plot to overturn the 2020 election was “even more chilling and more threatening than we could have imagined.”

“We have to choose. The Republican Party cannot be both loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution,” Cheney said in a speech Wednesday evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. “We stand at the edge of an abyss and we must pull back. We must pull back.”

Cheney said she has been motivated to stand against Trump’s lies about the 2020 election because of her hopes that her children “will continue to live in an America where the peaceful transfer of power is guaranteed ... [and] in an America that is a nation of laws, not of men.”

And Cheney drew a biting contrast between a number of young women from within the Trump administration who have cooperated with the Jan. 6 committee, and a number of older men who have not. She spotlighted Cassidy Hutchinson, the White House aide whose testimony Tuesday provided riveting detail into Trump’s actions and state of mind on Jan. 6 and in the days leading up to it.

“I have been incredibly moved by the young women ... who have come forward to testify in the January 6th committee ... who knew immediately that what happened on January 6 must never happen again,” Cheney said.

Cheney said that “[Hutchinson’s] superiors — men many years older — a number of them are hiding behind executive privilege, anonymity and intimidation,” an apparent reference to, among others, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Hutchinson’s boss on Jan. 6.

Hutchinson’s “bravery and patriotism yesterday were awesome to behold,” Cheney said. “Little girls all across this great nation are seeing what it really means to love this country, what it really means to be a patriot.”

Cheney’s speech comes at a moment of high drama and consequence in her political career. She has been at the center, over the last month, of the hearings conducted by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by extremist Trump supporters. The mob assaulted the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.

Since Jan. 6, Cheney has been unwavering in her criticism of Trump; she’s been no less critical of other GOP leaders, like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who have shifted away from their original denunciations of Trump and sought to curry favor with him again.

A year ago, Cheney said she would “do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.” She left the door open to running for president herself in order to do so.

But Cheney’s uncompromising stance has put her political career in jeopardy. McCarthy presided over the House GOP’s removal of Cheney from its leadership last year. And the anger of Trump supporters toward Cheney means that she is now facing the prospect of losing her seat in Congress early next year. Wyoming voters will decide her fate in a primary election contest that will take place on Aug. 16.

Cheney has recently begun to seek support from registered Democrats in Wyoming, sending them mailers that instruct them how to switch their party registration if they want to vote for her in the Republican primary. It’s a sign that her campaign, despite its fundraising success, has polling data showing an uphill climb.

The Reagan Foundation Speaker Series, which launched in 2021, has at times looked like an audition for Republican politicians who want to replace Trump as the leader of the GOP. Several potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination have spoken since last year, including former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.

Christie used his speech last fall to declare that Republicans should not put “comfortable lies ahead of difficult truths,” in a swipe at Trump’s continued attempts to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him. “Pretending we won when we lost is a waste of time, energy and credibility,” Christie said.

And last summer, Pence said in his speech at the Reagan library that he was proud to have certified the results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, which he did even though he was under great pressure from Trump to overturn the results. Pence called Jan. 6 a “tragic day.”

Right-Wing News Site Declares Trump 'Unfit To Be Anywhere Near Power Ever Again'

New testimony from the most recent Jan. 6 committee hearing shows that former President Donald Trump is a “disgrace” who is “unfit to be anywhere near power ever again,” according to right-wing news website the Washington Examiner.

Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Mark Meadows while he was Trump’s White House chief of staff, gave jaw-dropping testimony Tuesday that indicated Trump knew his supporters were armed and potentially violent but encouraged them to help him overthrow the 2020 election anyway. She also testified that a Secret Service agent told her that Trump tried to grab the wheel of his armored limousine to turn back to the Capitol when the Secret Service informed him they’d be unable to take him there on Jan. 6.

The Examiner noted that Hutchinson, at 25, had already worked at the highest levels of Republican politics, and was “a conservative Trumpist true believer and a tremendously credible one at that.”

“What Hutchinson relayed was disturbing. She gave believable accounts of White House awareness that the planned Jan. 6 rally could turn violent. She repeated testimony that Trump not only knew that then-Vice President Mike Pence’s life had been credibly threatened that day but also that he was somewhere between uncaring and actually approving of Pence’s danger,” the site said, before going on to relay other shocking elements of Hutchinson’s testimony, including his episode in the presidential motorcade and his “fits of rage” throwing food at walls.

“Hutchinson’s testimony confirmed a damning portrayal of Trump as unstable, unmoored, and absolutely heedless of his sworn duty to effectuate a peaceful transition of presidential power,” the site concluded.

“Trump is a disgrace. Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024. No one should think otherwise, much less support him, ever again.”

Tish James' Summer of Trump: Depositions loom, fresh appraisal docs pile up in NY probe's 11th hour

Laura Italiano

Thu, June 30, 2022 at 3:37 PM

• NY Attorney General Letitia James has signaled that her probe of Donald Trump's business is in its 11th hour.

• Still, documents are pouring in by the hundreds of thousands of pages as Trump appraiser Cushman & Wakefield scrambles to comply with subpoenas.

• To make the summer still busier, Donald, Ivanka and Donald Jr. are scheduled for depositions in 2 weeks.

It's the Summer of Trump for Letitia James and her band of Trump Organization investigators.

With statute of limitations deadlines looming, New York's attorney general has signaled that her office is wrapping up its massive, three-year inquiry into an alleged pattern of financial fraud at Donald Trump's multi-billion-dollar hotel and golf resort empire.

There will be no summer slowdown as James races to file the result of that probe, an expected encyclopedic lawsuit quite possibly seeking to put the company out of business entirely.

Depositions from Donald Trump and his two eldest children, plus an ongoing, giant evidence dump from longtime Trump appraisers Cushman & Wakefield — to include Cushman's entire archive of communications with Trump and Trump Org — will make for a very busy July as the finish line nears.

The hottest depos yet

James' investigators have by now recorded subpoena-mandated depositions from some 40 witnesses. Those include less-than-enlightening sessions with the Trump Organization's two top executives, former CFO Allen Weisselberg and Eric Trump, who has helmed the business as executive vice president since his father became president in 2017.

James has left the hottest depositions for smack in the middle of summer.

Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump, Jr. have all been court-ordered to sit for questioning some time between Friday, July 15, and Friday, July 22. Reps for Trump and the AG's office declined to say whether or when those have been scheduled.

The three Trumps could follow in Weisselberg's and Eric Trump's footsteps, and plead the fifth hundreds of times, but there would be a legal cost.

The depositions will be taped, and those tapes will become evidence for a jury should James' eventual lawsuit — and any possible demand for fines, restitution or a dissolution of the business — go to trial.

A jury would be told that they are allowed to draw a negative inference from the sight of any witness invoking the right to remain silent rather than risk self-incrimination.

What's up? Docs.

Meanwhile, evidence is pouring in by the hundreds of thousands of pages from Cushman & Wakefield, in response to their loss two weeks ago of a last-ditch appeal at New York's highest court.

James's probers appear to care a lot about the Chicago-based Cushman, Trump's go-to appraisers for well over a decade.

They've alleged that Trump used "fraudulent or misleading" Cushman appraisals to win $165 million in tax breaks and bank loans. At least some of those questionable appraisals were made in what the AG has called "an atmosphere of pressure applied to them by the Trump Organization."

The real estate services giant is now scrambling to comply with the third of four subpoenas James has issued since June of 2019, according to a new court filing that gives a sense of how much new paperwork the AG's office is in the midst of processing.

Cushman has turned over 800,000 pages of documents to the AG's probe. Some 500,000 of those pages were turned over in the past week, lawyers for the appraisal firm say in the filing.

But two sets of documents, demanded in that third subpoena, issued in September, remain to be turned over.

And here is where lawyers for Cushman say they are struggling and need more time, ideally until July 15, after having blown past this week's deadline.

What are they still laboring to turn over? The third subpoena's first and second document requests:

"All documents and communications concerning any work performed for Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization."

And:

"All documents and communications concerning any work performed concerning property or assets owned by Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization."

Terabytes of emails

Some of this material, including "emails, substantial hard copy documents, and other e-discovery materials," has already been turned over, the new Cushman filing says.

But the e-discovery firm that's helping collect and process Cushman's documents, Platinum Intelligent Data Solutions, is still scouring through 1.78 terabytes of emails "involving current and former employees," in an effort to parse out what else must be turned over, the filing says.

"This is estimated to include approximately 9 million e-mails with attachments consisting of approximately 72 million pages," the filing says, describing the huge database now being sifted for Trump-related communications.

The AG's office has yet to respond to Cushman's request for a two-week delay, which would also have to be approved by the Manhattan judge who is presiding over the AG's probe, NY Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.

That's the judge who on Wednesday ruled that Donald Trump is no longer in contempt of court over an earlier failure to fully comply with James' subpoena for his business documents.

As for the 500,000 pages turned over by Cushman in the past week, those include  some 1,000 valuations, stretching back to 2012, that were conducted by 5 Cushman-employee appraisers of Trump properties, the latest filing also says.

James has said she wants to compare how the 5 appraisers set values for Trump properties with how they set values for similar non-Trump properties.

The 5 appraisers worked on three properties James is looking closely at — 40 Wall Street, the Seven Springs estate in Upstate New York, and the Trump National Golf Club near Los Angeles.

Any measurable favoritism toward Trump, which Cushman has steadfastly denied, could result in the AG naming the appraisal firm as a defendant in her lawsuit.

A Cushman spokesman did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
