Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg on the Weisselberg plea: "This plea agreement directly implicates the Trump Organization in a wide range of criminal activity and requires Weisselberg to provide invaluable testimony in the upcoming trial against the corporation."

'The Feds are just getting started': How Trump faces 'an entirely new situation'



On Thursday, Maggie Haberman of The New York Times took to Twitter to explain why the new FBI investigation former President Donald Trump faces is more serious than anything he's ever dealt with before — even his two impeachments.

"This is an entirely new situation," wrote Haberman. "It’s not clear where it leads, but DOJ was never going to indict a sitting president, Republicans were aligned with Trump during his first impeachment (he was out of office for the second and still most Senate Rs voted against)."

"Several Trump advisers have commented, 'we’ve been here before,'" Haberman added. "But these are different circumstances, even if the outcome is not clear."

Haberman's analysis came in response to a report from POLITICO that a key Justice Department official that the FBI investigation is just in its early stages.

"At Thursday’s proceedings, the Justice Department’s top counterintelligence official, Jay Bratt, repeatedly emphasized that the investigation into the former president’s handling of classified White House records 'is in its early stages,'" said the report. "Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who authorized the search on Aug. 5, ordered prosecutors to propose redactions to the affidavit by next week, indicating that he was skeptical of the Justice Department’s arguments to keep those documents under seal. He set a deadline of next Thursday for prosecutors to propose redactions to the affidavit. 'I’m not prepared to find the affidavit should be fully sealed,' Reinhart said."

The investigation concerns boxes of highly classified documents that the former president took with him to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Among the documents the FBI searched for are reportedly some containing nuclear weapons secrets.

NEW- Trump demanded answers about the basis for the FBI search of his residence and calling for a swift end to the investigation. Instead, he got few new details about the probe and a piece of unwelcome news to boot: the feds are just getting started.

Well, once again the right wing media and right wing politicians are easily proven to be the liars that they are.

These lying right wingers are telling their gullible base that "Americans are outraged" that the FBI searched Criminal Donald's Mar a Lago home for top secret classified documents.

First of all, Criminal Donald lost the election to Joe Biden in a blowout.

The majority of Americans want Criminal Donald to go to prison for his crimes.

So, why would they be "outraged" when Criminal Donald stole top secret nuclear documents that he has no business having in his possession? 

It's just another pathetic attempt by the right to prop up this criminal to their gullible right wing base.

As you can see in this poll, the majority of Americans approve of the search, the investigation, and disapprove of Criminal Donald stealing top secret classified information to illegally stash at his home.

Let's look at some reality. 55-57% of Americans are against Criminal Donald. There is no way the majority of Americans who want Criminal Donald arrested, indicted, and charged with treason are going to vote for Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections who are lying, covering up, and trying to protect Criminal Donald from his treasonous crimes. Those are the facts.

What's shameful is that 22% of MAGAs support treason.             


Notable general public support:

DOJ's MAL investigation:

55% approve
31% disapprove

DOJ's search warrant:

54% approve
36% approve

If Trump held docs on nuclear weapons, views on his actions:

22% approve
57% disapprove

All of these Trump endorsed candidates are freaks and weirdos. They believe in the QAnon conspiracy theories and pledge a loyalty oath to Trump to push his bogus election fraud lies.

The Republican Party used to stand for something but it has been taken over by these lunatics who believe in total insanity like JFK returning from the dead. These loons have no business being in government making laws that affects our lives based on their insane conspiracy theories.


Trump endorsee is not 'mentally stable' and has 'no chance' of winning: GOP governor

Republicans are set to lose control of a governor's mansion in the 2022 midterms, the state's GOP incumbent governor predicted during an interview with a local radio station.

Maryland GOP Governor Larry Hogan appeared on WGMD’s "The Talk of Delmarva" with Mike Bradley as he visited the Eastern Shore on his way to the Maryland Association of Counties Summer Conference in Ocean City.

Hogan said Trump-endorsed GOP nominee Dan Cox had “no chance whatsoever” of beating Democrat Wes Moore in November, The Washington Post reported.

“He’s not, in my opinion, mentally stable,” Hogan told Bradley.

“He wanted to hang my friend, Mike Pence, and took three busloads of people to the Capitol," Hogan said.

Hogan has previously referred to Cox as a "QAnon whackjob."

"Cox’s campaign is seen as a long shot in Maryland, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-to-1 margin," The Post reported. "And Hogan’s repeated attempts to paint Cox, a first-term delegate and a relative unknown across the state, as unfit to replace him will likely dampen Cox’s efforts to lure the Democratic voters and independents he would need to win."

This is who Wyoming just voted for. Another MAGA extremist QAnon loon that worships Donald Trump as a cult leader.

Trump Org could be ‘extinguished’ and he could lose liability protections for his properties: tax expert



Donald Trump may lose his Trump Organization empire following the disposition of a legal case in Manhattan.

Longtime Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty on Thursday to 15 charges stemming from a tax avoidance scheme at the former president's company.

Weisselberg attorney Nicholas Gravante Jr. told The New York Times, "rather than risk the possibility of 15 years in prison, he has agreed to serve 100 days."

CNN's Erin Burnett interviewed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston about Weisselberg agreeing to testify in the Trump Organization trial. Johnston, who has taught taxes at Syracuse Law, is one of the few journalists who has obtained parts of Trump's tax returns.

"What happens to the Trump Organization, to the real estate company here, when this is all said and done?" Burnett asked.

"Well, it's possible in this case or the Letitia James civil case, that the Trump Organization at the top will be extinguished," Johnston replied.

"Donald can still own his properties, but own them directly and the liability shield from having a corporation goes away," he explained. "So something horrible happens, his liability personally goes way up. This is bad news for him."

"Now that Weisselberg has confessed that he's a thief, a felon, a serial felon, there may be difficulty with banks and trying to get any new financing," Johnston noted.

Here's more lies from the GOP.

This is coming from the Official GOP Twitter account but it's the same phony talking points that the right wing media pushes on a daily basis to their gullible base.


GOP @GOP

Americans are seeing a historic border crisis that Joe Biden created.
#BidenBorderCrisis

https://twitter.com/GOP/status/1560267022339952641


GOP @GOP

Border Patrol agents have made about 1.82 million arrests at the southern border in the government’s fiscal year so far.

https://twitter.com/GOP/status/1559791133647052800


These are the garbage talking points right wingers push all day long.

First of all, Biden did not "create a border crisis". He was handed a border crisis by Criminal Donald who made a disaster out of our southern border. You can easily see the date from the article below.

Second, all those arrests prove Biden's border policy is working because illegals are not making it into the United States since they are being arrested. The GOP tries to pathetically gaslight people into thinking arrests are "bad".

That's what the GOP does....lies, gaslights, and pushes conspiracy theories.

So, you can see the article directly below is dated April 5, 2019. Biden was not in office in 2019. So, he did not "create a border crisis" in which the Official GOP Twitter account lied about above. Criminal Donald was in office in 2019 and he failed to fix the border crisis HE created and handed off to Biden along with the rest of his disasters.

See how the GOP lies? Donnie created the border crisis but right wingers lie using projection accusing Biden instead when he wasn't even in office in 2019. The GOP exists to lie and cover up for Criminal Donald. Absolutely pathetic.

For 4 years Criminal Donald failed to achieve a border security policy with Mexico. He claimed he would make Mexico pay for a  wall. Mexico laughed at him and mocked him refusing to pay for anything. Donnie failed miserably.

Just a few weeks ago, President Biden met with the Mexican President and easily got him to pay $1.5 Billion for border security.

President Biden did what Donnie could never do. So, when you see the GOP lie accusing President Biden of "not securing the border" you will know it's already been secured as Mexico is paying to secure the border thanks to President Biden.

                 
Yes, There’s a Crisis on the Border. And It’s Trump’s Fault.

'Smart strategy': CNN's Elie Honig explains how DOJ has made it easier to nail Trump

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig on Friday laid out how the United States Department of Justice had made it easier to potentially prove that former President Donald Trump violated the Espionage Act by stashing away top secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

In breaking down newly released documents related to the Mar-a-Lago search, Honig zeroed in the fact that the DOJ is saying it has evidence of willful retention of classified documents.

"As a prosecutor you don't shoot for the highest possible statute, you don't have to go right to the James Bond stuff if there is an easier way to get there," he said. "And this, the description of the crime that we now see in this document willful retention of national defense information, that's the easiest way to prove it. That's smart strategy."

Honig emphasized, however, that the DOJ did not name Trump specifically as the person who may have willfully retained documents, he said it's hard to imagine anyone else at Mar-a-Lago being guilty of this crime, as Trump is the one who "calls the shots."

"It would shock me if it was anybody but Donald Trump," he emphasized.
