Rep. Eric Swalwell
I have just offered an “Unclean Hands Amendment” that says if you are out of subpoena compliance — ahem Jim Jordan and Andy Biggs — you may not seek someone else’s subpoena compliance. Wash your hands, guys.

biggrin


I love Ted Lieu
Lieu: It is the height of hypocrisy for Jim Jordan to try to enforce a contempt subpoena against Garland when Jordan himself ignored a bipartisan congressional subpoena.

Is Blanche getting his own back on trump?

He's just bringing up all the derogatory names Cohen has called trump

BLANCHE: trump called you a name so you responded in kind, calling him a name right back?
COHEN: That’s correct

BLANCHE: “You called him Dumbass Donald?”
COHEN: “Sounds correct”

trumps defence is still trying to push the story to the the jury that Cohen paid $130k to Stormy on his own without trump knowing anything about it, then Weisselberg reimbursed Cohen using trump’s money without telling trump, even though trump signed the cheque, and many people have testified trump knew...

NY Times reporting that an upside-down flag, used by trump supporters contesting Biden's election win, flew over Justice Samuel Alito's lawn in January 2021 as the Supreme Court considered an election case.

Just a week after the magamob had stormed the Capitol
Alito has not recused himself from a single case involving Jan. 6 or efforts to overturn the 2020 election
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alit...

Alito doesn’t deny the flag was flying upside down, doesn’t deny its meaning, doesn’t express any disapproval for it and doesn’t disavow it, but blames his wife instead



Edit: Joyce Vance on why didn't Alito immediately take it down, but left it flying. Blaming his wife doesn't work

trumps previously denied he had anything to do with the Daniels NDA, but yesterday in his rant to reporters, he forgot that and admitted that he was part of the NDA with Stormy Daniels "I have the only illegal NDA."

Video of trump: https://x.com/i/status/1791220278439108659




As before, when trump lies so much, it's hard for him to remember what lies he's told.

trumps lawyer Blanche didn't have a good day yesterday in cross examining Cohen, as Cohen had to explain NY law to Blanche, when Blanche accused Cohen of breaking the law in recording trump.

Got to love Raskin at the delayed committee hearing last night, making the point it was delayed to allow the "spiritual pilgrimage" to trumps trial, "an adjudicated fraudster, rapist as he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records..."
In this special nighttime episode, we resume the comedy series “Comer’s high crimes and misadventures”
https://x.com/i/status/1791272048901112293


Then Raskin reads an email sent out from Comer attempting to fundraise off of the hearing, because whilst others were off breaking trumps gag order for him, Comer was sending out fundraising solicitations saying his Committee will sink Biden in the election.

Raskin: I thought you were serious about the legal enterprise here and not just another political huckster calling hearings to make a Buck
https://x.com/i/status/1791269348755316984
https://x.com/i/status/1791324711378686237


Moskowitz’s dramatic reading of Comer’s fundraising email is definitely worth a watch "Comer after dark" biggrin

LOL. Garcia showed pictures of trump asleep
https://x.com/i/status/1791285669563953463

to which Boebert says trump isn’t sleeping, he’s praying but if he is sleeping, he looks pretty while he sleeps.
https://x.com/i/status/1791289049598349604



Stansbury: Some might actually view this as direct interference in a criminal court case. It’s not exactly law and order as our friends like to talk about all the time

Big strong people with tears in their eyes no doubt.




His yes men are keeping him happy, telling him he's winning and he's believing them?

As Giuliani hides from his subpoenas, he claims there was a conspiracy between the Republican owner of the radio station that just fired him and the Biden campaign to silence him before the election.

No proof of course.

Judge in trumps latest business fraud case tells the court to expect summing up on Tuesday. Looks like trump wimped out of testifying again.

When Stormy Daniels changed her story slightly in court, I wondered if she was trying to goad Trump into blurting something out.

This story came to mind:

Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words, "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"

Because the US legal system is setup to ensure rich old white men keep their money, whilst everyone else has to cough-up double quick time or go to prison.

I guess this latest judgement may stymie more delays?

Soon be time to cough up.

Bless.

Sure, someone will be along to defend him. I wonder if those same folk will be along to defend any other rapist who gets convicted by a court?

The rant in full, claiming Bragg will drop the case - at the summing up point when he's proved the charges?
