SO MUCH LOSING!

When Donald Trump isn’t busy dining with Nazis or plotting to terminate the US Constitution, he gets to watch his legal team suffer setbacks.

In recent months, former President Donald Trump and his allies have suffered a string of defeats in court as they’ve tried to resist or impede criminal investigations into his conduct.  

The latest example was Trump’s unsuccessful bid to block testimony from his former White House lawyers before the federal grand jury investigating 2020 election subversion. The attorneys, Pat Cipollone and Pat Philbin, appeared before the DC-based grand jury on Friday. 

The night before, a federal appeals court tossed out the special master review that was holding up parts of the criminal probe into government documents that were taken from his White House to Mar-a-Lago.  

The Trump-world losing streak reflects the deference that courts tend to give to criminal investigations – particularly when the probes that have not yet brought charges. Courts have shown far less tolerance for legal delay tactics in cases concerning criminal probes. 

His setbacks are at both the state and federal level.

Many of the disputes over the subpoenas are playing out in state courts across the country based on where the witnesses in question now reside. Those courts often made the determination that the witnesses are “necessary and material” to the investigation, while pointing to the approvals the subpoenas got from the judge in Georgia who is supervising the Fulton County grand jury. 

Trump has tried to claim that being a former president gives him special standing. The courts aren’t buying that.

As if Trump were not in enough trouble, a New York law just went into effect which permits adult victims of previous sexual abuse to sue their attackers.

With this sort of luck, Trump may be wondering if his only way out is to defect to Russia or North Korea.

TGF 01x07 Not So Grand Jury

[fuckyeahmarxismleninism]

The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) unequivocally condemns and opposes the recent indictment of four members of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP), alongside three Russian nationals. The unsealed indictment states that on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, a federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, levied charges of “conspiring to covertly sow discord in U.S. society, spread Russian propaganda and interfere illegally in U.S. elections.” While no evidence of conspiracy, propagandizing, or interference has been presented, the APSP and its members have the right, as all U.S. citizens do, to freely criticize U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

Prosecutor Says Trump Likely To Face MORE Criminal Charges Soon

Well...

It seems that someone has flipped on tRump & his Republikkkan enablers!!

This is on the False Electors cheating scandal that they tried to accomplish in several states.

Though the Felon Rump wasn't accused when the case began, this woman's 'flip' is said to involve him becoming a defendant!!

So, expect more accusations to fly & for "Dumb Old" Rump to throw more of his people under the bus!

Well...

It couldn't happen to a worse type of evil folk.

End?

Not yet...

Trump will be the first president to be indicted. Why him?? Every single US president is a criminal. What about him is indictment worthy to the ruling class?
