Judge Aileen Cannon Sets DOJ Trial Date -vs- Donald Trump for May 20, 2024

There are buckets and buckets of legal contingencies in the fabricated case created by Special Counsel Jack Smith, acting on behalf of Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord, and the DOJ case against Donald J. Trump.

So many contingencies, there is almost no reason to look at any procedural process with any inclination the date will have consequence.  However, that said, Judge Aileen Cannon has smartly delayed the trial portion of the case until May 20, 2024.  [Full Legal Outline pdf]

I say smartly, because by Mid-May 2024, President Trump will likely have wrapped up the GOP nomination, and that structural reality itself will punt the rest of the gibberish into a time ever more distant.   Smart base-covering and no room for appeal move by Judge Cannon.

Bidens allegedly ‘coerced’ Burisma CEO to pay them millions to help get Ukraine prosecutor fired: FBI form

Joe Biden and Hunter Biden allegedly “coerced” Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired, according to allegations contained in an unclassified FBI document released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Grassley said he released the document, which describes an alleged criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a Ukrainian business executive, so that the American people can “read this document for themselves without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats.” 

The document in question is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, which Grassley acquired via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers, according to the senator’s office.

Over $17MILLION has been funneled from foreign sources to the Biden family, confirms IRS Whistleblower

Whistleblower X – unmasked as the lead IRS investigator on the Hunter Biden probe Joseph Ziegler – confirmed that the Biden family has accepted over $17 million in foreign payments, with over half going to Hunter Biden.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., asked Ziegler during Wednesday’s hearing to confirm the total amount of foreign income obtained by the Biden family. 

‘This brings the total amount of foreign income streams received to approximately $17 million, correct?’ asked Comer.

‘That is correct,’ replied the whistleblower.

Georgia won’t update vulnerable Dominion software until after 2024 election

A lawyer for Georgia’s top election official, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, recently told a federal court that officials would forgo installing Dominion’s security patches until after the 2024 presidential election.

“Upgrading the system will be a massive undertaking, and our election officials are evaluating the scope of, and time required for the project,” Mike Hassinger, a spokesperson for the Georgia secretary of state’s office, told CNN when asked about the delay.

While state and federal officials have suggested it is unlikely that these vulnerabilities could be exploited, the newly released report points out that Georgia is far more dependent on this particular Dominion software than any other state, potentially undermining confidence in its ability to conduct a secure election.

British intelligence found FBI Russia collusion probe so absurd it stopped helping

British intelligence expressed skepticism about the FBI’s investigation into the Donald Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia in 2016, and eventually became so concerned it stopped cooperating, according to evidence made public in Special Counsel John Durham’s recent report.

Durham released his 300+ page report on the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion probe on Monday, representing the culmination of years of investigations. That report excoriated the FBI for pursuing the investigation without possessing any significant evidence of wrongdoing.

Intelligence officials in the United Kingdom evidently shared Durham’s assessment contemporaneously.

Durham highlighted an exchange between an intelligence official and the FBI’s legal attache office in London (ALAT) in which the latter relayed concerns about the flimsiness of the evidence, especially as it related to former Trump campaign aides George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

“Dude, are we telling them [British Intelligence Service-1]  everything we know, or is there more to this?” he asked “Supervisory Special Agent-1.” “That’s all we have… not holding anything back,” was the reply, prompting ALAT to retort “Damn that’s thin.”

‘It’s a great vindication, it feels good!’ Donald Trump hails John Durham report slamming FBI for pursuing baseless Russian collusion theory and blames sore-loser Hillary for scandal

Donald Trump has responded to Justice Department special counsel John Durham’s report on the origins of the FBI‘s Trump-Russia probe, saying the findings vindicate his claims of baseless persecution.

‘It’s a great vindication and it feels good, and the report has been widely praised,’ Trump told Newsmax in a phone interview on Tuesday night.

‘All of these people are — I guess you could call it treason. You could call it a lot of different things. But this should never be allowed to happen in our country again,’ added Trump.

The former president when on to heap blame his 2016 election opponent, Hillary Clinton, for the controversial FBI probe into his own campaign.

‘This was really started by, when she lost the election,’ said Trump. ‘They call this a big, big surprise, and they didn’t know what to say. And they said, Let’s blame it on Russia. Somehow somebody came up with the idea let’s blame her loss on Russia.’

‘This was really an excuse for why she lost the election. She blamed it on Russia. And it’s very sad, very very bad for our country,’ added Trump.
