One of Trump’s prominent defenses is that his prosecution is really an improper political attack designed to stop him from being elected President. The Motion described extensive “evidence of collusion” between various Biden agencies, and accused the Special Prosecutor of failing to hand over that evidence of collusion. Here’s how Trump’s Motion described it:

Evidence scattered throughout more than 1.2 million pages of discovery reflects close participation in the investigation by NARA and Biden Administration components such as the White House Counsel's Office, as well as senior officials at DOJ and FBI. These revelations are disturbing but not surprising.

To be clear, the record strongly supports the existence of additional evidence of bias and political animus that is central to the defense of this case and must be produced promptly. This includes evidence of collusion between the Office and the White House, DOJ, FBI, and NARA to use the Presidential Records Act (“PRA”) as a law enforcement tool, and to abuse grand jury procedures, in violation of due process, other constitutional rights, and the executive privilege.

As I predicted last week, the new problems in the Fani Willis case in Georgia is already helping Trump’s other cases. Making a prominent appearance in the Motion to Compel was the Fulton County DA’s office and her high-priced “love bunny” Nathan Wade’s amateurish invoices reflecting his startling meetings with White House lawyers:

The Special Counsel’s Office must produce other evidence of bias, including (1) any communications with members, relatives, or associates of the Biden Administration; (2) communications between members of the Biden Administration and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office during the course of the investigation that led to this case, including but not limited to records relating to meetings involving Nathan Wade that are substantiated by legal invoices appended to congressional filings; and (3) evidence relating to analytic bias harbored by the Intelligence Community.
Evidence of collusion with the Biden White House — if not outright White House coordination — would blow a crater-sized hole in this case, and probably the other cases, too.

It would make Watergate and even Russia Collusion look like rookie efforts.

As you can imagine, with 68 pages of argument, other potential game-changing claims were snuck into the Motion. One stand out was the apparent fact that Trump held a Q-level top security clearance through 2023 — after the FBI’s raid on his Florida home. Around that time, in 2023, Biden’s administration quietly tried to revoke Trump’s clearance:

On August 15, 2023, the Special Counsel’s Office disclosed an exculpatory Department of Energy memorandum relating to President Trump’s security clearance. Weeks after the Office filed the Indictment, the Energy Department sought to "modify" the inconvenient truth that the agency possessed records showing that President Trump maintained a security clearance.
All information concerning President Trump’s security clearances … is discoverable in light of … charges relating to “unauthorized” and “willful” possession. At minimum, a valid security clearance undercuts that allegation.
In other words, how could Trump have illegally possessed classified materials if he held the highest possible security rating at the time? And then the government’s attempt to surreptitiously erase that inconvenient fact suggests consciousness of guilt.

There’s plenty more. For instance, the Motion complains that Prosecutor Smith’s office redacted thousands of the documents it did hand over, and Trump’s lawyers correctly argued redaction is improper under the rules without a prior enabling court order. So Trump wants unredacted copies, which Smith will not want to turn over.

Court watchers are opining that, at minimum, the discovery battles will result in the trial getting pushed back until after the election. That seems like a fair prediction. For Trump to get a fair trial, he needs the evidence to defend his case. So far, out of all the Trump judges, Judge Cannon has issued the decisions most favorable to Trump, even to the point the liberal media thinks she’s deliberately trying to help the President. ...

The nettlesome problem is that the DOJ’s lawyers were possibly too creative, twisting the financial crimes law into a pretzel-like legal weapon against ordinary citizens who entered the Capitol, and also against Trump for allegedly coming up with the riot idea in the first place. Fischer’s lawyers reasonably argued that an earlier part of the very same Sarbanes-Oxley statute specifically defined the word “corruptly,” limiting that word’s statutory definition to actions that result in the “alteration” (as in shredding) of a document, record, or other object.

Whoops. None of the J6 defendants altered any documents, records, or other objects. They just walked around taking selfies.

If the Supreme Court decides that prosecution under this document shredding law requires proof of alteration of a document, record, or other object, hundreds of J6 convictions would get tossed, and it would rip the beating heart out of Special Prosecutor Smith’s J6 case against Trump. Politico neatly summarized the effects like this:

The impact of Fischer on the Jan. 6 trial against Trump might not be known until after the Supreme Court wraps up its term in June, at which point it could knock out half of Smith’s counts against Trump. And it could also disrupt the convictions of many Jan. 6 defendants already serving time for their role in the insurrection.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is in trouble. Not just with Republicans, but with Biden.

While Republicans are unhappy that AG Garland had been going after Trump and other conservatives, Biden and other Democrats are unhappy at his ineffectiveness.

A Politico report from last month cited White House insiders claiming that if Biden wins, Garland won’t get a second term because he didn’t do enough to insulate the Biden family from investigations and that he didn’t move the Trump investigation along fast enough.

Biden’s people wanted a Trump trial before the election and Garland failed to give them one.

In response to the attacks, AG Garland and his allies have begun releasing information about their Trump efforts in a bid to save their jobs. While that isn’t likely to work, it does show that the “independent investigation” was a myth and that getting Trump had been the DOJ’s top job.

Yesterday, amidst all the fireworks from Britain as its government cracks down on insults and mean language, the New York Times ran a troubling domestic story headlined, “U.S. Investigating Americans Who Worked With Russian State Television.” By “investigating,” the Times meant “raided the homes of,” and I’ll give you one guess which three-letter agency pulled off the raids.

This month, F.B.I. agents raided the homes of Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and vocal critic of American foreign policy, especially on Ukraine, and Dimitri K. Simes, one of President Trump’s 2016 campaign advisors.

No charges were announced against either man.

Citing an anonymous DOJ official, the Times promised more raids are expected soon, and criminal charges “are also possible.” According to the source, the government is considering potential violations of Russian sanctions laws and FARA violations. FARA is a law requiring disclosure of any lobbying for foreign governments, which is only ever charged against conservatives and definitely not people whose first name rhymes with ‘Bunter.’

Proof of lobbying requires proving the defendant got paid. Presumably, evidence of payment is what the FBI is looking for to make its FARA claims stick. Mr. Simes said not only was his home raided, but all his bank accounts except where he gets his Social Security have been frozen. He also said the FBI confiscated all his Russian artwork.

Viewed in the best light, the FBI plans to argue Simes got artwork as payment for criticizing the U.S. government, or something.

For his part, Ritter said he’s only ever been paid for articles he wrote for Russia Today, receiving between $150 and $300 apiece, which he said was the going rate for all contributors. That’s probably why they invoked the specter of sanctions violations as a backup theory.

Just like during the pandemic, it’s more censorship. Two weeks ago, the Director of National Intelligence publicly accused some American citizens of purposely helping Russia influence the elections, by “posting content on social media, writing for various websites with overt and covert ties to the Russian government, and conducting other media efforts.”

But don’t worry! They are only after disinformers:

"The government investigation is not targeting ordinary Americans who watch Russian state media or post about it online, but rather is focused on individuals intentionally spreading disinformation from Moscow, some of the officials said."

The only specific disinformation that the Times identified as being allegedly spread by Russian-influenced Americans were posts “depicting the United States and its allies as a hegemonic power bent on world domination.”

That broad disinformation definition puts C&C right in the crosshairs too. But I will stop accusing the government when it stops being a hegemonic power bent on world domination. Please note that nobody’s paying me for posts, I have no Russian artwork, I don't have Putin's cell phone number, and I have never been to Moscow. No need to raid me.

Interviewed by Jesse Watters, the Nation’s best governor made the irrefutable point that the FBI and the DOJ have a built-in conflict of interest investigating the Trump assassination attempts, since those very same agencies are also currently trying to put Trump behind bars in several pending criminal cases.

So, it would obviously be better for Florida to lead the investigation.

DeSantis promised Florida will get to the bottom of how Routh snuck and managed to stay hidden in Trump International Golf Course’s decorative hedge for up to 12 hours, somehow avoiding Secret Service sweeps. The Governor told Jesse that he’ll soon have much more to say about Florida’s separate investigation, presumably at an upcoming press conference.

The Matrix must be shorting out. It’s the only thing that makes sense. Proving both DeSantis’s point about the feds’ conflict of interest and … something really weird, the Daily Beast ran a super strange story yesterday headlined, “U.S. Attorney Handling Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Case Is a Haitian Immigrant.” A Haitian immigrant? Come on. I mean, what are the odds? Seriously.

Markenzy Lapointe, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, who now leads the federal government’s Routh investigation, is a Haitian immigrant raised in Florida. Lapointe —the country’s very first Haitian-American U.S. Attorney— is a Biden nominee sworn in on January 9th, 2023.

Lapointe presumably supervises (or at least assists in) the prosecution of President Trump in the Southern District of Florida. We don’t know how Mr. Lapointe feels about the recent dismissal of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case, due to Smith’s unconstitutional appointment. The Southern District is currently appealing that dismissal.

Nor do we know what Mr. Lapointe thinks about Trump’s recent criticism of Springfield’s Haitian invasion, or all the pet-munching memes. Nor do we know whether Mr. Lapointe believes that drinking cat blood at midnight brings good juju. It’s probably unfair to assume. We’ll just have to wait and see what his little Haitian Trump doll looks like.

I would imagine they have provided him with several gauges of rope, too, to find one to taste.

Diddy's short term problem is going through steep drug withdrawal. That would be a reason to commit suicide as any other, but they will just fake any death or trial and usher him to Epstein Island Two where the Intels keep their old spies home.

“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” – John Kerry.

... Mr. Kerry’s hapless utterance tells you all you need to know about how the party of John F. Kennedy turned years later into a demon-driven cult seeking to smash everything that was once noble and upright about our country. If there is any such thing as disinformation — and the claim is dubious since, really, there is only truth and untruth — then the chief dispenser of it is our own depraved government. Every morsel it issues is some species of Orwellian counter-think.

Just yesterday, former Attorney General Eric Holder, speaking of Mr. Trump returning to office, told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki: “They will use the mechanisms of the DOJ to go after people who are their political foes. This is something that has never really happened in the history of this republic.” Mr. Holder may have been born at night, but probably not the night before last. Apparently, he has not noticed the uses to which current AG Merrick Garland has put “Joe Biden’s” DOJ, bending heaven, earth, and the law to put Mr. Trump behind bars and bankrupt him — not to mention the scores of Trump-adjacent lawyers prosecuted in cockamamie cases based on their efforts to pursue ballot fraud in the 2020 elections.

Hillary Clinton was similarly on-point last week with Margaret Hoover on PBS’s Firing Line, declaring: “The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses.” Of course, she asserts this incessantly — and the media parrots her — without ever specifying what that danger is. So, I will tell you: Hillary Clinton and hundreds of Democratic Party affiliated officials past and present fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason for their conduct the past decade, including the mass murder and injury of millions with their Covid policy, their deliberate abetting of millions crossing the border illegally, their use of several government agencies to abridge the First Amendment, their abuse of DOJ and FBI power in malicious prosecutions, their shell games funneling taxpayers’ money to hundreds of crony NGOs, and their use of Ukraine as a money laundry for the entire Beltway criminal cartel. Surely even more than that.

It was the last item on that list that prompted impeachment No. 1 of Mr. Trump, who came uncomfortably close to inquiring about it in that fateful 2019 phone call to President Zelensky. And, of course, it was exactly in that maw of corruption that the Biden family helped itself to millions of grifted dollars while Joe was out-of-office, and his bagman-crackhead son gamboled about the globe shaking loose more millions from exotic money-trees wherever he landed. All of which is to say that the “danger” Mr. Trump poses is to them personally and directly, certainly not to “our democracy,” their phony war-cry. So, now you know.

Many of these players have gone to ground the past year or more. You don’t hear much these days from the likes of Jim Comey, John Brennan, Jim Clapper, Andy McCabe, Tony Fauci, Peter Hotez, and many more who were so active shooting their mouths off on cable news after the blob managed to install “Joe Biden” as its “beard” in the Oval Office. Now, they all lie low in terror as the immense battery of lawfare against Mr. Trump failed spectacularly to stop him from running again, and the first two attempts on his life went awry. Meanwhile, Garland, Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, remain in the trenches, reduced to stonewalling every and all efforts to get straight answers out of them as to how badly they are running things. And out in front of all of them you have their supposed protector, Kamala Harris, the most feckless candidate imaginable. No wonder they’re so desperate.

In contrast to all this low-down treachery in-and-around the craven Party of Chaos and, its corrupt, depraved agents fearing the turn of genuine law against them, there was the Rescue the Republic event on the mall in Washington Sunday. The intelligence and honesty on view there was a startling reminder of the sentiments that birthed our country in the first place. RFK, Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Jordan Peterson, Matt Taibbi, Senator Ron Johnson, Del Bigtree, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Robert Malone, and many more figures aligning with the Trump campaign, delivered one stirring message after another informing us that the cardinal virtues of honor, fortitude, courage, and justice are still alive in the background of this sore-beset nation. I’ve never heard a more eloquent extempore appeal to our shared human virtues than the speech delivered by UK national Russell Brand, supposedly a comedian. It was Shakespearean.

And so, tomorrow we slot into October, the month of promised “surprises” and generally not the happy kind. Hillary alluded to that in her Firing Line palaver. Does her posse (Huma, Alex Soros) have something up their sleeves? Fake Special Prosecutor (illegally appointed and unconfirmed by the Senate) Jack Smith is coming into Judge Tanya Chutkan’s DC federal courtroom with a big fat brief detailing his superseding indictment cooked up to replace the previous case derailed by the Supreme Court decision earlier this year on presidential immunity. Teams of assassins are roaming the land hunting Mr. Trump. And those are just the known unknowns.

But there’s something else in the air little more than a month away from this fateful election day. It feels like just enough Americans have recovered their senses to act against war, censorship, wide open borders, and the despotic rule of a malevolent bureaucratic blob nobody voted for. Mail-in ballot fraud is already being discovered. Mr. Trump might survive this campaign ordeal after all despite his enemies’ best efforts. The nation could climb out of this slough of self-destruction and despair after all. We used to say proudly this is a free country. It can be that again.

In like IHLlary lock step. IHLlary in her recent bizarre interview didn't talk about fake policy and carrot dangling promises (never intended to be fulfilled), she was in 'psychopaths feeling sorry for themselves' mode that their lies and deceptions didn't work as long as there were alternative medias and social medias active.

The demons and Satanists are feeling sorry for themselves in public, assuming their remaining sold souls and deceived useful idiots and borderline psychos in the population will rally?
