#Carlos De Oliveira

Brandi Buchman at HuffPost:

Special counsel Jack Smith’s highly anticipated report on his charging decisions in Trump’s Jan. 6 election subversion case will be made public, federal prosecutors said Wednesday, but the same cannot be said of information underpinning Trump’s classified documents case.

Details from that now-dismissed classified documents case should be held back from public view, federal prosecutors said Wednesday, because litigation is still underway in Florida against Trump’s valet and his Mar-a-Lago estate property manager. The disclosure was made in federal appellate court by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton in response to a recent request from Waltine Nauta, Trump’s valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, his property manager, to stop the publication entirely. Boynton said this was unnecessary. Smith, he wrote, already recommended to Attorney General Merrick Garland that to “avoid any risk of prejudice” to Nauta and De Oliveira, it would be best to release only information about the Jan. 6 charging decisions so long as criminal proceedings are pending against Nauta and De Oliveria. The report will, however, be available for private review by members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings in the Capitol Insurrection probe will be released by the DOJ. The findings in the classified document theft case, however, won’t be made public at this time due to litigation still ongoing.

Trump valet pleads not guilty in Classified Documents case; property manager’s arraignment postponed

[yamimichi]

The plot thickens...

Or should I say sickens.

A staff member at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate has been charged in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving office.

Trump pleaded not guilty in June to 37 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials, after prosecutors said he repeatedly refused to return hundreds of documents containing classified information ranging from U.S. nuclear secrets to the nation's defense capabilities.

Valentine’s Day 

Love and romance. Candy and flowers. Cards and gifts. Dinner and dancing.

Valentine’s Day comes along with a whole host of plans and accoutrements that are meant to all boil down to one thing: Love. And it all comes in the name of one man, St. Valentine, who was an interesting (and perhaps slightly misunderstood) character in history.

It’s time to learn about and celebrate Valentine’s Day!

History of Valentine’s Day

While some people believe that the history of this day is pretty clear, the reality is that the story behind St. Valentine’s Day is covered in a great deal of mystery. Tradition hails February 14 (and perhaps even the whole month of February!) as a time for love and romance, with both ancient Roman and Christian backgrounds.

But when the life of St. Valentine, the patron saint of this day, is considered, that’s when things tend to get a bit more murky. Some people don’t realize that the Catholic church actually has record of three of its own saints who went by the name of Valentine (or Valentinus) and all three died as martyrs.

Valentine’s Day Timeline

270 AD St. Valentine is martyred

Defying anti-marriage instructions given by Emperor Claudius II in order to build up the army, Valentine secretly supports and marries young couples which eventually leads to him being put to death. His death is said to have taken place on February 14.

496 AD First Valentine’s Day is recognized

Pope Gelasius decides to get rid of the Feast of Lupercalia, a pagan festival of love, and chooses to replace it with a celebration in honor of St. Valentine, who was martyred a couple hundred years prior.

1382 Chaucer’s Poem, Parlement of Foules, is written

This poem contains the first known literature reference connecting romantic love with Valentine’s Day. In the text of the poem, Chaucer writes of birds who would pair off with a mate, but some people refute the idea that it is connected to Valentine’s Day because February is too early and cold for birds to be mating.

1700 Americans begin exchanging Valentines

During this century, the inspiration for romance and love on Valentine’s Day turns into the specific gesture of exchanging notes, poems and love letters which may have been delivered by hand or by the US Postal Service.

2010 Valentine’s Day is released in theaters

This romantic comedy has a star-studded cast with big names like Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper and even Kathy Bates, and tells the story of several different romances between couples that happen all in one day. However, at the box office, the film doesn’t really get the greatest reviews from critics.

Valentine Promotes Marriage

Perhaps the most commonly held tradition around St. Valentine is related to the year 270 AD when Claudius II was the emperor of Rome. Known as “Claudius the Cruel”, the emperor who wanted to build a strong army but was having trouble because of the attachment the men had to their wives and families. His solution? Just ban engagement and marriage, of course!

The story goes that Valentine, a priest in Rome, disagreed with the decree from Claudius and decided to go ahead and perform marriages anyway, allowing young lovers to marry each other in secret. When discovered, Claudius ordered the public beating and beheading of Valentine, which took place on February 14. The church later honored him by naming him as a saint.

This same Valentine is rumored to have become friends with the daughter of his jailer. He is said to have left her a note signed, “From Your Valentine”. This may explain the idea of asking someone “Will You Be My Valentine?”.

Less common are the other two saints also called Valentine, one who was a bishop in what is now Terni, Italy, and another who was martyred in a Roman province of Africa.

Feast of Lupercalia

It’s possible that even before Valentine, the priest, was martyred on February 14, the Feast of Lupercalia, a pagan feast of love, was celebrated around the same time. One tradition that went along with this festival is that the names of women were put into a box and drawn out by the men that they would be matched up with, letting chance (or fate!) take the lead.

By 496 AD, Pope Gelasius was tired of such pagan celebrations, so he declared that the Feast of Lupercalia would be canceled and, instead, St. Valentine’s Day would be celebrated on February 14. As time passed, this day became one where lovers would exchange poems, cards, notes and flowers, singing songs and performing other romantic gestures.

How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day

Celebrating Valentine’s Day comes with all sorts of inherited romantic traditions which can certainly be fun and bring lots of joy! But this is also a great way to get creative with showing people how much they are loved–even if it isn’t a romantic relationship.

Try out some of these ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day:

Make a Card or Gift for Someone

Whether it’s a romantic partner or just a friend, Valentine’s Day is a great day to say “I Love You”. Hand made cards and gifts are especially welcome when it comes to showing someone how much they are cared for. January is a dark and quiet month anyway, so there’s plenty of time to prepare homemade gifts from a hobby like knitting a scarf, braiding a friendship bracelet, embroidering a towel, painting a picture or simply making a card.

Send Roses for Valentine’s Day

With delivery services abounding in almost every town, getting flowers delivered has never been easier! Choose to send red roses that stand for passion; yellow for friendship; pink for sweetness; peach for sincerity or gratefulness; white for purity or loyalty; ivory for perfection; and lavender for a crush (or love at first sight!).

Make Dinner Reservations

It’s likely that a last minute idea for going out to dinner will result in ordering takeout to eat at home, because restaurants are basically always full on Valentine’s Day. But, think ahead (sometimes months ahead, depending on the popularity of the restaurant) and make a reservation for two at a romantic place.

Enjoy a Story About Love

Head over to a local bookstore or library and browse the selection of novels or biographies that might feature stories about love. Or, it might even be interesting to read a biography about the guys named Valentine!

Those who don’t have as much time to read could put on their favorite drama or rom-com movie and see what hijinx the main characters get into. Try out some of these films about love to get started:

Valentine’s Day (2010). Okay, maybe this one is obvious. And perhaps it’s not even a great film, but it would be remiss to leave out this one with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher.

The Notebook (2004). This quintessential romance by Nicholas Sparks can be read as a novel or watched in the film starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

Pride and Prejudice (2005). This delightful take on the Jane Austen’s novel of the same name stars Keira Knightly, Rosamund Pike and Matthew Macfayden.

Think Like a Man (2012). Based on Steve Harvey’s book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, this rom-com features Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart and Meagan Good.

Get Creative for Valentine’s Day

This day doesn’t have to be the same as it’s always been. In fact, it’s a great day to try something new. Go on a mountain hike, visit a museum together, go whitewater rafting or learn how to play chess. Whatever would be fun and can be done in the spirit of love is the perfect activity for this day!

Emily Singer at Daily Kos:

The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced it is dropping its appeal against Donald Trump's two codefendants in the classified documents case, officially letting two men who allegedly conspired with Trump to impede the government’s investigation into Trump’s willful mishandling of the country’s secrets off the hook. Walt Nauta, who has served as Trump’s valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Mar-a-Lago, were both indicted in 2023 and charged with conspiring with Trump to withhold classified documents.  The DOJ accused Nauta of helping Trump hide boxes of classified documents from federal investigators. The DOJ also accused Nauta and De Oliveira of deleting video footage of the documents being moved around at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Federal District Judge Aileen Cannon, who worked her hardest to delay the case against Trump and his codefendants, ultimately dismissed it in July with a ridiculous ruling that special counsel Jack Smith, who sought the indictments, was illegally appointed. The DOJ was appealing the dismissal of Nauta and De Oliveria's case, but now that Trump won and installed yes-men, it dropped that appeal. “The United States of America moves to voluntarily dismiss its appeal with prejudice. The government has conferred with counsel for Appellees Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who do not object to the voluntary dismissal,” U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O’Byrne wrote in a filing on Wednesday. This is the final nail in the coffin of ever holding Trump and his codefendants accountable in federal court for flagrantly breaking the law by taking classified documents from the White House and refusing to give them back.

Just so sad. Classified document thief Donald Trump and two of his close associates will be let off for blatant Espionage Act violations, such as theft of classified documents.

Donald Trump's former co-defendants are asking the judge who tossed his classified documents case to issue an emergency order blocking the public release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report about his investigation of the president-elect.

Lawyers for Trump's former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, asked Judge Aileen Cannon -- who dismissed the case in July after deeming Smith's appointment unconstitutional -- to issue an order barring Attorney General Merrick Garland from publicly releasing the report by Jan. 10.

The unorthodox legal maneuver came the same day Trump's personal lawyers sent a letter to Garland demanding he remove Smith from his post and defer the decision about the report's release to Trump's incoming attorney general, Pam Bondi.
