    I've fiddled with mine for sure. I didn't brag about it on national TV or have my personal lawyer, that was going to jail for paying off a porn star at the direct orders of me, testify before Congress that I was fiddling with my taxes though.

    It was probably something like that which caught the fed's eye. I might be wrong though.

    • DC Attorney General Moves Ahead With Trump Inauguration Suit


    The attorney general for the District of Columbia will continue investigating whether Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration committee misspent more than $1 million, after discussions to resolve the matter out of court stalled this month.

    The AG’s office has a civil lawsuit against the inaugural committee and the Trump Organization. And this month, the case was forced into mediation, a deal-making session in which a neutral negotiator tries to get different sides to come to an agreement.

    While lawyers met on July 14 to discuss resolving the case out of court, the meeting went nowhere.

    According to court records, the closed-door meeting resulted in “no agreement reached.” The reason: Investigators are dead set on seeing this case through to the very end, a source with knowledge of the case told The Daily Beast.

    That means the case will proceed, as all sides wait to see whether D.C. Superior Court Judge José M. López rules that the local law enforcement agency has already proven its case before trial. The office of the local attorney general, Karl Racine, has a pending motion for summary judgment arguing that the evidence already presented weighs that heavily in his favor.

    The local attorney general claims the Trump Organization and Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. were “unjustly enriched” by overbilling the nonprofit inauguration committee. The office wants the judge to force the return of $1.08 million in “misspent charitable funds.” (The AG’s office wants to award that money to another civic-minded nonprofit of its choosing.)

    Racine’s office is seeking a similar outcome to the victory that New York’s attorney general had in 2018 over the Trump Foundation, forcing it to disband and hand over money to other charities. hhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/dc-att...-suit?ref=home




    “It's very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it,” Trump said

    Complex financial frauds take a while to unpick and put in a form that can be presented to grand and normal juries. Be patient.

    Capitol Police Officers Sue Trump, Others Over Jan. 6 Riot

    Officers say former president, members of far-right groups promoted election fraud claims that fomented riot


    WASHINGTON—Seven U.S. Capitol Police officers sued former President Donald Trump and others, including nearly two dozen members of right-wing extremist groups and organizations, alleging they conspired to promote baseless claims of widespread election fraud that fomented the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

    The suit filed Thursday names as defendants the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, both groups of which some members were charged in the attack, as well as Trump associate Roger Stone, saying they “propagated false claims of election fraud, encouraged the use of force, intimidation, and threats, and incited violence against members of Congress and the law enforcement officers whose job it was to protect them.”

    The infection is still festering, and this should speed things up. Fruman is likely to plead guilty, and he likely has some scoop on some of nefarious activities.

    Tony Evers Asks Judge to Make Trump 'Personally' Pay Fees

    Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) asked a federal judge to force former President Donald Trump to “personally” pay fees for his “audacious” election-subversion efforts, days after a brutal sanctions ruling imperiled the law licenses of nine lawyers who attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election in key states.

    “More than eight months ago, former President Trump filed this lawsuit in an audacious attempt to overrule the will of the voters by fiat,” the governor’s attorney Jeffrey A. Mandell wrote in a 17-page legal brief. “He sought unprecedented relief, and his team pressed the case in a slapdash manner incommensurate with the gravity of the subject matter. Now, Trump recasts the litigation in a sepia tone, glossing over flaws with conclusory exculpations and dismissing criticism as ‘Monday morning quarterbacking.'”

    The Wisconsin Democrat casts this effort as revisionist history.

    “Trump provides no legitimate defense of litigation conduct that went beyond mere procedural missteps, constituting a deliberate abuse of the judicial process and attempt to overturn the votes of 3.3 million Wisconsinites,” Evers’ brief demanding sanctions states.

    Requesting attorneys’ fees, Evers pointed to the far heavier sanctions sought by the city of Detroit in a case by the so-called “Kraken” lawyers, whose efforts to overturn election results in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin were rejected by every court. On Wednesday night, a federal judge in Michigan referred each of the nine attorneys associated with the Michigan arm of that litigation to face disciplinary proceedings in their home states for “possible suspension or disbarment.”

    On Friday, the governor’s attorneys informed U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig about that decision.

    “Recent sanctions decisions in other post-election litigation support the propriety of sanctions here,” the governor’s brief states. “Federal trial courts in Michigan and Colorado awarded fees under both 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and inherent authority in other baseless post-election cases.”

    “The Michigan and Colorado decisions cited several key considerations also present here,” the brief continues. “There, as here, the litigation was ‘not a normal case in any sense,’ as its purpose was ‘questioning the validity of a Presidential election, and the fairness of the basic mechanisms of American democracy.'”

    Judge Ludwig, who will determine the sanctions motion, was appointed by Trump and scathingly rejected his effort to overturn Wisconsin’s election.

    “In his reply brief, plaintiff ‘asks that the Rule of Law be followed,’” Ludwig observed.

    “It has been,” the judge concluded.

    Wrangling over the consequences of that failed litigation has continued for several months since then, and Gov. Evers wants Trump to “personally” pay a price for it, under the court’s inherent authority.

    “Nearly a month after losing re-election and having the results confirmed via recount, Trump prosecuted a lawsuit, devoid of factual or legal support, in an attempt to subvert the voters’ will, pushing bad-faith election litigation to new lows. His actions warrant sanctions under the Court’s inherent authority, and his attorneys’ conduct merits fee shifting under 28 U.S.C. § 1927.”

    Trump Organization faces new scrutiny in New York civil probe

    The Trump Organization is facing new pressure to comply with a New York state civil investigation into the company's financial dealings.

    A New York judge has given the former president's company until next week to report on its efforts to furnish records subpoenaed by the state attorney general, according to a court order unsealed on Friday.

    The judge's order also gives New York state Attorney General Letitia James (D) a possible avenue to bring on a third party to assist with collecting company records for the probe, which is looking into whether former President Trump misled banks and insurers about the value of his financial assets.

    The court order, signed earlier this month and made public Friday, comes amid ongoing clashes between the Trump Organization and James over her office’s requests for documents and depositions.

    “For more than a year now, the Trump Organization has failed to adequately respond to our subpoenas, hiding behind procedural delays and excuses," James said in a statement. "Once again, the court has ordered that the Trump Organization must turn over the information and documents we are seeking, otherwise face an independent third-party that will ensure that takes place.”

    The New York attorney general opened the investigation in March 2019 after the president's former attorney Michael Cohen testified to Congress that Trump had altered the value of his assets in financial statements in order to get loans, better insurance rates and tax breaks.

    The civil probe is separate from an ongoing criminal investigation that James is carrying out in conjunction with the Manhattan district attorney.

    In the civil case, court records show that James’s office is investigating the valuation of several Trump properties including the Seven Springs resort in Westchester County, N.Y., an office building on Wall Street in New York City, the Trump International Hotel in Chicago and the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles.

    Friday’s unsealed court order, signed by New York state Judge Arthur Engoron, provides a mechanism by which James can move in mid-October to bring on a third party to oversee the Trump Organization’s compliance with the subpoenas if the company fails to do so on its own.

    Arbitrator slaps down Trump's NDA challenge against Omarosa

    Former President Donald Trump cannot enforce a nondisclosure agreement with former confidant Omarosa Manigault Newman, an arbitrator ruled late last week.

    The arbitrator, Andrew Brown, wrote that the terms of the agreement were “vague, indefinite, and therefore void and unenforceable.”

    The agreement “effectively imposes on Respondent an obligation to never say anything remotely critical of Mr. Trump, his family or his family members’ businesses for the rest of her life,” Brown wrote in the decision dated Sept. 24.

    “Such a burden is certainly unreasonable.”

    Trump, via his campaign organization, targeted Manigault Newman after she wrote a confessional book about her tenure serving in the White House as communications director for the Office of the Public Liaison. She had been a mainstay in Trump’s orbit for years before he entered politics, first as a contestant on “The Apprentice” TV show and later as an executive in his eponymous company.

    “Donald has used this type of vexatious litigation to intimidate, harass and bully for years! Finally the bully has met his match!” she said in a statement.

    ^

    Trump summoned a young press aide to his Air Force One cabin so he could look at her butt, new book says

    Stephanie Grisham, a former longtime top White House staffer, writes in her forthcoming memoir that President Donald Trump took an inappropriate liking to one of his young staffers, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

    The book, a copy of which The Post obtained, says Trump became "obsessed" with a young press staffer whom Grisham didn't name. He would regularly ask where the aide was during media events and once demanded that she be delivered to his cabin on Air Force One so he could "look at her [behind]," the book says, according to The Post reported.

    Grisham, who joined the Trump campaign in 2016 and went on to serve as White House press secretary and the first lady's chief of staff, also writes that Trump once asked her to assure him that his penis wasn't small or abnormally shaped, as the adult-film star Stormy Daniels had claimed.

    Twenty-six women have publicly accused the former president of sexual misconduct, including allegations of rape, groping, and harassment. Trump has denied all of the allegations and called the women liars.

    There is no doubt Trump is a cvnt but he is human (just),........ has male tendencies and is powerful and we know how woman like powerful men.

    Clinton should have cum clean (excuse the pun) from the get go and admitted that he received the blow job rather than lie. Most blokes wouldn't knock back a blow job on the run.

    Rape or physical abuse is unacceptable.
