"Oct 28 (Reuters) - A former U.S. Capitol Police officer was convicted on Friday of obstructing an FBI investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by deleting Facebook messages he sent to a rioter afterward, federal prosecutors said. . . . The two men had not met in person."

We get to see how Democrats use tax fraud to bolster a fake case and ignore a real case. They do the same with "criminal intent," but that is a different issue. When the Democrats framed Trump for taking bribes from Russia, they nailed Manafort for tax fraud he committed before he worked for Trump for about a hundred days, to make it look like Weissmann; his gang of Democratic legal goons; and their senile, never-Trump, RINO, figurehead Mueller were investigating a real crime. They also wanted to squeeze Manafort for dirt on Trump whether it was real or not,...

A federal judge agreed to appoint the same special master from the government's case against Michael Cohen in 2018 to review whether materials seized from the homes and offices of Rudy Giuliani and Victoria Toensing are subject to attorney-client privilege....

Lawyers suggest that District Attorney Cy Vance might use New York’s “little RICO” statute to prosecute enterprise corruption. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could be considering a criminal charge that former President Donald Trump’s business empire was a corrupt enterprise under a New York law resembling the federal racketeering statute known as RICO, former prosecutors and defense attorneys said. New York’s enterprise corruption statute — which carries the potential for severe penalties — can be applied to money-making businesses alleged to have repeatedly engaged in criminal activity as a way to boost their bottom line. “I’m sure they’re thinking about...

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced late on Tuesday night that her office is no longer pursuing just a civil case against the Trump Organization and that the matter has now evolved into an active “criminal” investigation. “James’ office is working with Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s Office, whose wide-sweeping probe into the Trump Organization has looked into whether the company misled lenders and insurance companies about the value of properties and whether it paid the appropriate taxes,” CNN reported. “For the past two years, James’ office looked into matters including whether or not it improperly inflated assets on...

PALM BEACH MAKES CONTINGENCY PLANS IN CASE TRUMP IS INDICTED — Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., have actively prepared for the possibility that Manhattan District Attorney CY VANCE could indict former President DONALD TRUMP while he’s at Mar-a-Lago, according to two high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions...

Joe Biden has been calling SB 202, the law in Georgia designed to secure elections from fraud, Jim Crow. The example he gives in speeches is that people are not allowed to have food and water at the polls. That is not true, and it has nothing to do with SB 202....

Without arguing their creative legal theory in a court case with due process, adversarial arguments, and cross examination, the Biden administration was once again able to confiscate the legal documents, which are supposed to be protected by attorney-client privilege, of his chief opponent Trump. All he needed was a corrupt, partisan judge like Kimba Wood. Wood made it possible confiscate the privileged documents of Trump's previous lawyer Michael Cohen with nothing but the creative legal theory of a campaign finance violation that was never argued in a real court case. This was after the partisan "judge" officiated George Soros' wedding....

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder announced yesterday that his team is conducting a “thorough review” into the team’s nickname that formalizes the discussions the team has been having with the National Football League about a name change. Snyder has resisted changing the name of the team, outlasting protests, lawsuits, and demonstrations. But there’s no escaping the mob this time. They want another scalp to hang on their lodgepole and can smell victory in the wind...

The story is that President Trump downplayed Coronavirus, even declaring it a hoax while the Democratic politicians, mainstream journalists, and medical experts understood the magnitude of the problem from the end of January to March before we began social distancing. This is fiction retconned by the Democratic Party and their biased media. First, Trump never called the virus a hoax. He called the politicization of the virus by the Democrats and their biased media a hoax. The Democrats at Snopes point this out although they blame Trump for the confusion. However, it seems to me those news "journalists" who misunderstood...

Remember Mel Rynolds, Democrat from Illinois? He wasn't simply emailing 16-year-olds: he was having sex with them. And Democratic hero Bill Clinton pardoned him in Clinton's corrupt last minute pardon. And there was NO outrage by Democrats. Yet Democrats want to put Foley in jail because of emails and instant messages? Doesn't this prove my point that liberalscum don't care about the accusation or actions, all they care about is if someone is a Democrat or a Republican. They don't want to jail Foley because of his Internet activity, they want to jail Foley because he is a Republican and...

Senator Voinovich crying about Bolton on the floor of the Senate

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., the nation's largest owner of TV stations, said on Tuesday it would only air part of a documentary critical of Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam war record, as critics demanded it cancel the broadcast altogether or face legal action. Sinclair has drawn fire over its plans to air the 42-minute documentary "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," about the Democratic presidential candidate on its more than 60 TV stations on Friday, less than two weeks before the Nov. 2 election. Furious Democrats have charged that the documentary was a blatant political statement disguised...

[This is a response to my email below] Mon, 23 Aug 2004 21:10:34 -0400 Dear Dr. Camhi, I'm not justifying anything, I'm relaying to you the result of my raising your concerns with the editors. Other readers have very similar concerns. Mr. Okrent has said that he will be writing about The Times's coverage of Senator Kerry and President Bush at some point between now and the election in November. I will keep your message on file for him to consider when he is ready to write. Sincerely, Arthur Bovino Office of the Public Editor [This is the email he...

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Monday criticized a commercial that accused John Kerry of inflating his own Vietnam War record, more than a week after the ad stopped running, and said broadcast attacks by outside groups have no place in the race for the White House. "I think they're bad for the system," added Bush, who had ignored calls to condemn the ad while it was on the air. Democrats criticized the president's remarks at the same time they worked to limit the political damage from the ad which they denounce as a smear sanctioned by Bush and his...

The Sept. 11 commission report offers a broad critique of a central tenet of the Bush administration's foreign policy -- that the attacks have required a "war on terrorism." The report argues that the notion of fighting an enemy called "terrorism" is too diffuse and vague to be effective. Strikingly, the report makes no reference to the invasion of Iraq as being part of the war on terrorism, a frequent assertion of President Bush and his top aides. "The first phase of our post-9/11 efforts rightly included military action to topple the Taliban and pursue al Qaeda. This work continues,"...

Are the Republicans on the 9/11 committee morons? They keep ranting about how the committee is non partisan when anyone with brains knew from the beginning it was very partisan, and the Democrats are using it to help the Kerry campaign. After the Dems made fools of themselves during the Rice testimony, the liberal media couldn't even call the committee nonpartisan anymore. Instead they falsely played down the partisanship of the Dems by claiming it was only a little partisan and that partisanship was "inevitable." But before they were claiming it was "inevitable" they were claiming there was none. That...

The partisan, liberal media has been claiming that Richard Clark is a Republican just because he stated that he voted for a Republican in a primary. Though Clark never claimed he was a Republican, in their zeal to make him credible, they have been claiming he is a Republican. The fact is, Clark voted for John McCain like many Democrats (some Democrats even want to put McCain on Kerry's ticket. And the New York Times, house organ of the DNC, endorsed McCain in the primaries). Sunday, Clark admitted to Russet that he voted for Gore. Also, he has only given...

Funny how the partisan Democratic, liberal journalists in the AP and the rest of the liberal media are not pointing out that the man who is going after Rush Limbaugh, Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat. The liberal media are letting people assume that because the Florida Attorney General, Charlie Crist, is a Republican, and because Governor Jeb Bush is a Republican, the Florida State Attorney for Palm Beach, who is going after Limbaugh, is also a Republican. We saw the liberal media do the same thing...

The Democrats seem to feel that their best hope for defeating President Bush in 2004 is Saddam Hussein. In addition, according to many Democrats, the Iraqis were better off with Saddam than they are with Bush. Perhaps we will also be better off with Saddam. What would be the best slogan for Saddam's campaign for the Democratic primaries for the 2004 presidential election? How about: Vote for Saddam, and show the world how much you really hate Bush. Vote for Saddam: he hates Bush almost as much as you hate Bush. Vote for Saddam: He's a victim of the vast...
