The first domino has fallen in Georgia !

A bail bonds man called Scott Hall, who was one of the idiots who stole election data,, & copied Dominion voting s/w, pleaded guilty today to a number of misdemeanors. So now when the speedy trials against the kracken moron, & Chesebro, start in a few weeks, the moron is cooked !, because she was the one who got him involved.

This will in turn force the other small fish to either flip, or go spend a decade or so in State prison .... and so the dominos will keep falling, & eventually you'll get to a domino that will put one of the big fish into the position of deciding to cooperate, or only seeing their grandchildren on visiting day.

The sprog and I spent an hour or so wandering the streets south of Rodeo Drive a few months ago, just being nosy. There were lots of top end motors parked out front of many swank abodes, but we didn't see anyone trying to steal them at gunpoint. Could've been an off day.

JUST ARRIVED AT THE COURTHOUSE TO FIGHT A CORRUPT & RACIST ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND A ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, TRUMP HATING JUDGE, WHO REFUSES TO FOLLOW THE APPELLATE COURT DECISION WHICH KNOKS OUT 80% OF THIS SHAM CASE. THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
Knok yourself out..

https://x.com/KlasfeldReports/status/17 ... 50512?s=20

Key piece of context:

Justice Engoron just noted in court that "nobody asked for" a jury trial, which is why he'll be presiding over Trump's $250M civil fraud case without one.

What are the norms here for keeping an office, and for notice on being asked to close an office?

Also what are the risks in asking for an office to be shut in speedy fashion?

I don't pretend to know much about how American politics work, or this particularly case really. But, isn't this over McCarthy allowing a spending deal through to avoid a government shutdown (again)?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be wiser for the Democrats to keep him there? Also, wasn't this a perfect opportunity for the Democrats to de-escalate the nonsense and try to get some bipartisan good will going forward, particularly with Trump on the horizon again?

It's actually incredible that during a trial he can go out at lunch, call the judge corrupt and threaten the investigating DA. Any other western jurisdiction he is going straight to jail.

I think he was an arsehole to them when they tried to find a bipartisan way forward when he was trying to be elected speaker in the first place earlier this year (that took 13 votes before his own party would back him). So they thought fuck'im.

Yeah, understand the guy is a total dick. But saving a grifter like that his job, and the goodwill it might engender with the other 200 Republicans, seems like something to at least consider. Now it's just same old, same old.

Also appreciate this is predicated on politicians being grown ups and not sociopathic children, so I guess that's probably my answer anyway.

Equally it could have been the time for McCarthy to cross the aisle and say what do I need to put on the table for 50 votes or even for 100 votes. But such as I understand it he was looking to play just on his side of the sandpit.

And actually we don't know what overtures if any were sought, nor what terms might have been sought.

There's no chance of that at all. Even if individual Republicans were willing to try and break bread with the Dems, the MAGAites among them and in their voter base wouldn't brook it.

It's also not just about this incident, basically since the Tea Party started making ground the Republicans have been going out of their way not to work the with Democrats and trying to draw them into 'meet me in the middle' while taking giant backwards steps so that the meeting isn't possible.

Rumor has it that the Judge dangled 30 days in Rikers in front of him, as to what, "serious consequences", looked like.

So none of this, & few grand of a fine, or 5 minutes in the holding cells, waiting for the bus, & a quick purging of contempt, before freedom bollocks.

Drump drops his 500 million dollar lawsuit against Cohen to avoid sitting for a deposition..
Given that President Trump is required to sit for deposition in a civil matter on Columbus Day, when he is scheduled to be in the Great State of New Hampshire, and while the President is fighting against the meritless claims that have been lodged against him in New York, Washington D.C., Florida, and Georgia, as well as continuing his winning campaign, where he is leading the Republicans by 60 points and Crooked Joe Biden by 11 points, to serve as our next President of the United States, President Trump has decided to temporarily pause his meritorious claims against Michael Cohen. Once President Trump has prevailed in dealing with the witch hunts against him, he will continue to pursue his claims against Michael Cohen, who rightfully deserves to, and will be held accountable for his unlawful words and actions just as the Southern District of New York held him accountable for numerous non - Trump related acts and crimes, making Cohen a very "proud" felon.
Cohen replies..
Great news out of the Southern District of Florida tonight: Rather than be deposed by Danya Perry on Monday, Donald J. Trump voluntarily dismissed his $500 million lawsuit against our client Michael Cohen. From: Michael Cohen: As I have said from the beginning: this case was nothing more than a retaliatory intimidation tactic, and his attempt to hide from routine discovery procedures confirms as much. Mr. Trump's cowardly dismissal spells the end of this latest attempt to deter me from providing truthful testimony against him. My legal team and I now look forward to turning our full attention to holding Mr. Trump accountable for his latest abuse of the legal system. More to come.

A property owned by Rudy Giuliani in Palm Beach, Florida, has been placed under a federal tax lien by the Internal Revenue Service as he owes more than a half-million dollars in unpaid income taxes, according to a court filing.

The tax lien for $549,435.26, which was recorded in Palm Beach County on September 1, is the latest sign of Giuliani’s financial struggles as he faces millions of dollars in legal bills amid a number of lawsuits and criminal charges. The former New York City mayor has publicly mentioned in court his struggle to pay for mounting legal fees and adverse court decisions, while even more are expected to pile up in the future.
