House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has sent a seven-page letter (below) to invite President Joe Biden to testify in the Republican impeachment inquiry. The letter is the latest, and best, reduction of the glaring contradictions in the President’s past statements on his family’s well-documented influence peddling operation. President Biden is not expected to testify. However, the media should be interested in his answering the questions presented by the Committee. It is now clear that the President lied during his campaign and during his presidency on his lack of knowledge of his son’s business activities as well as his denial of any money gained from China. Yet, the White House responded, again, with mockery — a sense of impunity that only exists due to an enabling media.
Chairman Comer reduces the past testimony and evidence acquired by the Committee in the corruption scandal. In the last hearing, Democratic members simply refused to acknowledge that evidence. There was a bizarre disconnect as members mocked the witnesses for not supplying evidence of the President’s knowledge or involvement. They then did so and the members declared that there was no evidence.
Various members also misrepresented my earlier testimony during the hearing on the basis for the impeachment inquiry. Members like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) stated that I joined other witnesses in stating there was nothing that could remotely be impeachable in these allegations. That is demonstrably untrue. My testimony stated the opposite. I refused to pre-judge the evidence, but stated that there was ample basis for the inquiry and laid out various impeachable offenses that could be brought if ultimately supported by evidence. I also discussed those potential offenses in columns. The purpose of the hearing was not to declare an impeachment on the first day of the inquiry. Unlike the two prior impeachments by many of these same Democratic members, this impeachment inquiry sought to create a record of evidence and testimony to support any action that the House might take.
Now, the Committee has laid out the considerable evidence showing that the President had lied, knowingly and repeatedly.
Interspersed with specific evidentiary findings, the Committee presents ten questions that the President should be able to answer directly and unequivocally:
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Jonathan Li of Bohai Industrial Fund and/or Bohai Harvest Rosemont?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Ye Jianming of CEFC?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Henry Zhao of the Harvest Fund?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Vadym Pozharskyi of Burisma Holdings?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Mykola Zlochevsky of Burisma Holdings?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Kenes Rakishev of Novatus Holding?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yelena Baturina?
-
Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yuriy Luzhkov?
-
Did you ever ask your brother James Biden about the source of the funds he used to pay or repay you?
-
Did Eric Schwerin have insight into all your bank accounts until December 2017?
In response, the White House Counsel’s office again responded with mockery and taunting. I have previously discussed (including in my testimony in the Biden hearing) how the role of the White House staff in these denials can raise serious questions under the impeachment inquiry.
That has not deterred White House Counsel spokesperson Ian Sams, who has been previously accused of misrepresenting facts and engaging in heavy-handed treatment of the media. Sams responded to the letter:
“LOL. Comer knows 20+ witnesses have testified that POTUS did nothing wrong. He knows that the hundreds of thousands of pages of records he’s received have refuted his false allegations. This is a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment. Call it a day, pal.”
The involvement of a member of the White House Counsel’s staff issuing such a disrespectful and taunting message would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Yet, the media has enabled such denial and deflection by showing no interest in the answers to any of these questions. It is part of the genius of the Biden management of this scandal. The White House quickly got reporters to buy into the illusion, making any later recognition impossible for these reporters. It is Houdini’s disappearing elephant trick applied to politics.
Even if most of the media refuses to demand answers, the public has a right to hear directly from the President on these specific questions. President Biden can still deny all of this countervailing evidence and “say it ain’t so,” but he should say something.
Here is the letter: 2024-03-28-CJC-letter-to-JRB

“Before Gloria was born, her mother, Ruth, then age 34, had a “nervous breakdown” which left her an invalid, trapped in delusional fantasies that occasionally turned violent.[17] She changed “from an energetic, fun-loving, book-loving” woman into “someone who was afraid to be alone, who could not hang on to reality long enough to hold a job, and who could rarely concentrate enough to read a book.”[17] Ruth spent long periods in and out of sanatoriums for the mentally ill.[17] Steinem was ten years old when her parents separated in 1944.[17] Her father went to California to find work, while she and her mother continued to live together in Toledo.[18][17]”

Okay, every body: this is how bad it’s getting when Joe Biden declares Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” I am not kidding.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-slammed-on-social-media-after-announcing-transgender-day-of-visibility-on-easter-sunday/ar-BB1kNTjj?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=3a286f81af424fab902038f6dfff9ce6&ei=34
Happy Easter to all who know what Easter really is about. Affection to all. yours truly, lin.
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Only next to Duke helping some guy hormone up to breast feed his grandchild. Disgusting
Sick on so many levels
The date of Easter Sunday changes each year. This year, 2024, Easter happens to fall on Sunday, March 31, 2024. Each year it is determined by occurs the Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox — the start of spring in the northern hemisphere. So Biden did not declare Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility” he declared March 31, as Transgender Day of Visibility.” But, I agree, the optics is obvious and a revolting example of the current epidemic of gender insanity.
He could have changed the celebration/recognition of the day to MONDAY, just like we do every year for holidays that fall on the weekend (Sunday).
Why isn’t April 1 Trans Day? Duh.
Nice 🙂 — if you’re gonna have a “Transgender Day of Visibility” … April Fools day would be perfect. But that would require a sense of hummer among crazy gender nuts.
Notice not a word of this on the media today …..
No President has ever testified in an impeachment inquiry and to change that precedent here for this completely bogus inquiry would be just weird. I do not ever remember Turley advocating for Trump answering questions before Congress in an impeachment inquiry or otherwise. If “the President lied to the American people” was enough to haul a President before Congress, then Trump should have been there over 20,000 times when he was President.
I have no expectation that Biden will answer questions before congress.
It is bizzare who – atleast when it serves them left wing nuts take everything litterally.
Comers letter is not targeted at Biden. It is a reminder to the people, the media, and democrats of the questions regarding Biden that there are no good answers to.
Comers questions are Rhetorical – Biden is not going to answer them.
But atleast some voters may think about those questions and they likely answers and determine for themselves what the answers are – absent answers from Biden.
This is all part of the pattern involving the left.
Did Joe Biden violate the letter of the law and accept bribes ? I think it is clear that he did. You are free to disagree.
Did Joe Biden through his family engage in dangerous entanglements with dubious foreign powers and entities for dubious purposes ?
Absolutely.
The Biden family did not lease commercial office space, Sell Condo’s rent hotel rooms, sell oil.
What they sold was influence. What they sold was the ability of dropping Joe Biden’s name to make things happen that would not have otherwise. Does that meet the narrowest defintion of the crime of bribery ? You get to make your own choice. As do voters.
Broad Brush we all KNOW what the Bidens did. The only open question is did they actually violate the law.
That is NOT the standard that voters are going to care about.
We have the same standards in reverse regarding Trump. We KNOW that Trump believed the election was stolen – as do the majority of Americans. We know that some people told him it was not, and that he did not believe them. We know that he said things and took actions to “stop the steal” – pretty much no one disagrees with that. Those of you on the left are trying to spin tiny details of otherwise legitimate acts into technically crimes to prosecute Trump.
The problem is there are really no secrets here. We KNOW what Trump did and said. And the majority of americans do not care.
Most of us grasp that it is pretty dubious to take money from really sketchy foreign powers.
Most of us grasp that it is OK to be unhappy with the outcome of an election, to beleive the other party cheated, and to try to find that cheating and undo it. That it is infact OK to do so – even if you may ultimately prove wrong.
Those on the left are under the delusion that if they succeed in splitting hairs that most people do not understand or care about – that they can with biased prosecutors, judges and jurrors get a conviction, and that will change the minds of voters who already know all the facts and have decided for many reasons that Trump is the lessor of two evils.
Joe Biden’s BEST claim is “My Family perpitrated a fraud on sketchy foreigners and kept them coming back for more, in return for money.”
Esentially that the Biden’s are not guilty of selling out the country they are guilty of defrauding our enemies.
At the very worst Trump is guilty of over zealousness in his beleive that Joe Biden stole the election. Given what we know that democrats DID do = that they have admitted, That is not something many people are going to care about.
The inquiry is nothing more than political theater. Despite all the huffing and puffing, there is no evidence to support impeachment and Comer knows it. That is why he pulls stunts like this.
No one here seems to be paying any attention to the messy democratic primary election in Chicago.
10,’s of thousands of ballots gone missing and then being found. tens of thousands of Blank ballots being transported without records prior to the election and left unattended.
All this in a primary that is producing a razor thin result.
The brain dead demicommies seem to be getting brain deader by the day.
Ultimately the majority of voters are not going to vote for Trump because of something biden did to someone years ago.
They are going to vote for Trump because of what biden is doing to THEM, THE VOTERS, NOW…. at the grocery store, at the border and in every aspect of their formerly Constitutionally protected lives, because as a general rule, nearly everybody gets hungry when they can’t afford food, doesn’t want their homes invaded and their children murdered and are not too keen on dying at the hands of power mad tyrants.
Minority polling is indicating that the shift is not merely a rejection of Biden but strongly moving TOWARDS Trump.
And that it is deeper than personalities. That it is a potentially permanent shift from democrats to republicans.
Yeah but for the 25th senility clause to apply ..his agents would have to fess – so it takes impeachment of all the “enablers”
Removing a president who does not wish to remain using the 25th amendment is actually harder than impeachment. It requires 2/3rds of the house and senate to vote to remove.
The odds of Biden actually showing up before the House to answer questions is identically zero.
Wage and price controls always lead to deadweight loss in the economy, in the form of a surplus or a glut. In California many workers who would have willingly worked for $15 an hour, and many small businesses that would have gladly hired those workers for $15 an hour, are now not allowed to make that deal, which would have been a benefit to both parties, not to mention created more taxpayers and gotten more able bodied workers off of the dole. Both parties wanted to enter into that private contract, but the government thought it knew better and said no you can’t. Newsom and the Dems virtue signal while harming the economy and the tax base. No wonder California is a dystopian hellscape.
To complete the thought, when the government artificially holds the price high, you get a glut because there aren’t enough buyers at that price to clear the market. When it holds the price too low you get a shortage because the product sells out at the low price and there is still an unmet market demand.
Here we’re talking about the labor market, and you have a glut of workers because the government is artificially holding the price higher than the market clearing price. A glut of workers in turn means more unemployment. Guess who gets hurt by that unemployment? The lowest economic class. And that doesn’t even account for the adverse secondary effects such as small businesses closing down and the unemployed workers’ loss of dignity.
All efforts by govenment to regulate the economy have negative unintended consequences.
Though price controls are by far the worst.
But it is incorrect to make specific claims about what those consequences will be.
They can cause gluts – they can cause shortages. What they do not do is lead to the smooth operation of the economy.
The miracle of a free market is that it adjusts dynamically to pretty much everything – including eventually bad govenment actions.
What is always true of govenrment actions in the economy is that even after adjustment – which si often only temporary, efficiency is decreased.
That sounds small – but it is only small differences in efficiency that are the difference between rising standards of living and falling ones.
Could it be that Federal government Regulators and politicians do not care of where a dollar is generated, their care is how much of it they can capture back in tax. It is the law of diminishing returns. Ergo quantitative easing the dollar into stagflation then forward to inflation.
Even their ability to capture taxes is effected by what is earned privately.
The USSR failed because it was unable to create near as much wealth per capita as the United States or the rest of the free world.
That problem is not unique to Communism or socialism – ALL top down systems are inherently less efficieitn – and therefore more negatively impact per capita wealth.
WAGE AND PRICE CONTROLS ARE IRREFUTABLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ABSOLUTELY COMMUNIST EDICTS.
THE AMERICAN FOUNDERS AND FRAMERS ESTABLISHED THAT THE PEOPLE ARE FREE AND THE GOVERNMENT IS SEVERELY LIMITED AND RESTRICTED.
ONLY THE OWNERS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY MAY SET WAGES AND PRICES REGARDING THE OWNER’S PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Government exists, under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to provide maximal freedom to individuals, while government is severely limited and restricted to merely facilitating that maximal freedom of individuals through the provision only of security and infrastructure.
Courts must declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void.
The courts must strike down any and all attempts to usurp the power of the owners of private property.
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
The duty of the judicial branch and Supreme Court is quite simply to assure that actions comport with statutory and fundamental law.
The judicial branch and Supreme Court have no power, authority, or otherwise legal basis to legislate, modify legislation, or amend legislation.
Flawed legislation must be returned to the legislative branch for correction.
The 5th Amendment right to private property was initially qualified by the Framers and is, therefore, absolute, allowing no further qualification, and allowing ONLY the owner the power to “claim and exercise” dominion over private property.

Instead, companies closed or laid off workers, because a job was not worth $20, and customers would not tolerate the price increase.
In addition, a rise in minimum wage also creates pressure to give everyone a raise. A skilled worker making $20 is suddenly making minimum wage, when the increase goes into effect. That worker now needs to be paid more, and on up the ladder.
The problem is that there is no magic money tree to pay for this. The business owner can increase the cost of goods/services to pay for the added labor cost, lay off workers and downsize, or close. That’s it. In a restaurant, the profit margin is usually quite small. A business owner is not going to lose money for the privilege of working long hours to operate a restaurant. Without income, the business owner just closes.
There is no minimum wage for business owners. A small business owner can work 65 hours a week, yet lose money. Yet, Democrat politicians treat them like robber barons.
Every single time the cost of business is increased by Democrat policies, through higher fuel prices, higher regulations, requirements for more employee benefits, minimum wage increases, and so on, it is a pay cut to business owners.
Most people who support these measures would be howling mad if the government mandated they take a massive pay cut. But they are fine requiring a business owner to do so, assuming they’re fabulously wealthy and won’t miss it.
I write this with great sadness, having lived in California through the 70’s all the way to the beginnings of COVID in 2020, to write that the time has come for the State of California to be sold to the highest bidder, and be no longer part of the U.S.A. Just as Russia sold Alaska in 1867 for 7 million dollars, we could get a huge windfall in the US Treasury, a massive reduction to the National Debt, by dumping California. Maybe Mexico would be a buyer — they’ve wanted California back for a long long time — maybe China would bid, or Japan. But clearly it is a ‘failed’ state and has crossed the line into irredeemability.
Anonymous said: “the time has come for the State of California to be sold to the highest bidder…”
I think getting Mexico to annex the State of California would be a net gain for citizens of the remaining US even if Mexico paid nothing, or even if we had to chip in a bit.
“I think getting Mexico to annex the State of California would be a net gain for citizens of the remaining US even if Mexico paid nothing, or even if we had to chip in a bit.”

Your comment shows how incredibly stupid you are to believe such nonsense. And I have no doubt you are an average trump supporter that believes your life would be better off without California in the U.S.
The stupidity of trump supporters never ceases to amaze me. Go by a trump bible and put it under your bed like trump does.
New York Post Reveals Truth Behind Comer’s Invite
The invite was delivered as unexpected early retirements from House Republicans reduce the party’s already slim majority, making it more difficult to mount a successful impeachment vote.
The GOP’s five-vote edge will be reduced to four on April 19 when Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) resigns, and likely to three following an April 30 special election in New York’s heavily Democratic 26th District.
Gallagher designed his resignation to occur 10 days after the deadline for a special election, meaning his seat will remain empty, hobbling fellow Republicans who had criticized him for opposing the ultimately successful impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
https://nypost.com/2024/03/28/us-news/biden-invited-to-impeachment-hearing-to-defend-repeatedly-untruthful-claims-about-role-in-familys-foreign-biz/
………………………………….
Republicans are barely holding their House majority. The internal strife over the McCarthy ouster, Ukraine and budget squabbling has exposed House Republicans as the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.
Oh, and then there’s the Mayorkas Impeachment effort destined to go nowhere. Perhaps ‘two’ impeachments, at the same time, is a lot to handle for narrow majority where internal strife is widely showcased.
In fact, some House Republicans want to vacate Speaker Johnson for making a budget deal. That’s a big order on top of Biden and Mayorkas. But hey, let’s purge everyone!
In light of all this strife, Comer’s invite to Biden is nothing more than the Hail Mary Pass it’s been labeled as.
^^ Paid DNC troll. Ignore.
Quotes the NYTs!
LOL, why not ask MSNBC Joy Reid…
You fixated on mostly unimportant issues.
Republicans have very narrow control of the house. You are likely correct that they can not get the votes to impeach Biden – and even if they did, there is no chance the house will remove him – absent his having a stroke or some other disaster that requires democrats to bail on Biden quickly.
as to the rest ? So what. The question si not whether Biden will be impeached or convicted. It is why was he elected in the first place ? Why did those of you on the left hide the massive corruption of this man and his family ?
You rant about Trump – but there is nothing in your rants that compares to Biden selling out his office as vice president.
You claim there is no evidence ? Really ? Regardless, the most important jury was the one in Nov, 2020 – and you LIED to them, you burried the truth, it si not just that Joe Biden lied – we expect that from politiicans – But those of you on the left – doubled down on that lie. You made YOURSELVES part of that lie. You actively hid the truth from the american people.
Lets presume that by some miracle – VP Biden knew nothing about all the people Turley listed. Lets presume he knew nothing of his families involvement with them, that he knew nothing about where the money that his family was collecting came from or what it was for.
Give Joe Biden the benefit of every single doubt and what you have proven is that we have a complete moron as president who knows nothing about what is being done in his name. Is that a high crime and misdemeanor ?
Whatever it is, it is excellent reason Joe Biden should NEVER have become president.
And that is YOUR fault. The big deal – the core to the house impeachment hearings – is not can House republicans prove beyond any doubt – what most everyone knows – that the Biden family is corrupt to its core. That what they were doing is selling out the country, that Joe was up to his neck.
But lets presume that somehow his conduct was magically still legal.
The standard for the conduct of the president of the united states is that I Danced close to the edge of illegal influence pedaling – but did not go over the line.
The majority of americans grasp that the Biden family sold ONE THING – The public influence of Joe Biden as vice president of the united states.
If the core of your argument is that Joe Biden’s participation was not clearly illegal – a ludicrous argument,
none the less it disqualified you from being president.
“New York Post Reveals Truth Behind Comer’s Invite”
You did not explain the supposed connection between Comer’s invite and the retirements. What is that alleged “Truth?” Care to try again?
Or was that reference to Comer’s invite just an excuse to shoehorn in a smear of republicans?
In California, many restaurant workers are getting laid off, and going out to eat is becoming exclusively an upper class activity, because of the new minimum wage law. Gavin Newsom and the Dem legislature get to virtue signal while the small business owner and the little guy get screwed. A better summary of leftist politics can hardly be imagined.

Jonathan: What does a Mafia “Don” do when criminally indicted. They go after judges and prosecutors. Many have been killed by members of a crime family. But Mafia bosses have an unwritten rule. Don’t go after family members of judges and prosecutors. They are off limits. But “Don Poorleone”, who going to trial on April 15 for election interference and the Stormy Daniel’s hush money payments, is worried and is now attacking the daughter of Judge Merchan.
In a post in recent days this is what DJT said about Merchan’s daughter: “His [Judge Merchan’s] daugher, Loren, is a Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and yet he gagged me…” Now it’s probably true that Merchan’s daughter doesn’t like DJT. But what does that have to do with how her father presides over the criminal case against DJT? I would imagine that, now that DJT has publicly outed her, Loren is going to be very apprehensive for next month. She will undoubtedly get death threats and even need law enforcement protection. That’s not the kind of thing family members of judges sign up for–nor should they have to put up threats by criminal defendants.
Attacking the daughter of a judge by name is a new low for DJT. Most mob bosses wouldn’t do that. But DJT feels threatened–the possibility he may actually go to prison–so he is willing to pull out all the stops the intimidate Judge Merchan. It reminds me of the scene in “Godfather” where the head of a dead horse is left in the bed of someone not loyal enough to Don Corleone. Bullying and intimidation is part of DJT’s attempt to avoid criminal prosecution. It won’t work with Judge Merchan who probably needs to revisit his gag order to include family members of the judge and prosecutors.
Dennis McIntyre — I had thought that the so-called gag order included family members?
So you thought that a judge, Justice, or any other person or organization had any power to nullify and void the Constitution of the United States of America, with specificity, the 1st Amendment to said Constitution, wherein Americans are provided the absolute freedom of speech, which “shall not be abridged?”
To the extent it does – it would be clearly unconstitutional.
First Merchan can not issue a rule that only applies to Trump – though he can only issue a rule that covers people appearing before the court.
Micheal Cohen is on the news nightly attacking Trump – and Trump is attacking back. Any gag order that bars Trump from talking about Cohen bars cohen also.
Next Merchan’s jurisdiction is again only over those before him in court.
HGe can not issue an order to protect people who are not witnesses and not before the court.
Trump is as free to attack Merchan’s daughter as he is to attack Joe Scarborro.
What Trump can not do is defame anyone or threaten anyone with violence = – and no order is necescary for that.
Further Though MErchan is reading the law way too narrowly, Officers of the court are NOT protected – Merchan can not silence Trump regarding Himself or Bragg. Merchan has read that limit to ONLY effect himself and Bragg, but in fact Trump is free to attack ANYONE who is part of the prosecution and ANYONE who is part of the courts. He can not go after witnesses or jurors. That is pretty much it.
Merchan and those of you on the left fail to grasp that all the nonsense you are engaged in was generally their to protect the DEFENDANT.
You can not take a persons rights away by accusing them of a crime – you must convict them first.
Criminal defendats ARE allow to try their cases in the court of public oppinion – prosecutors are not.
Normally it is a BAD idea for a criminal defendant to speak out of court about their case.
Normally pissing off judges is a bad idea.
But Trump is fighting more that a criminal case here.
These prosecutions are purely political – and everyone knows it. Idiots on the left are demanding this trial must conclude before the election so that the public will KNOW the facts – that would be the same people who sold the collusion delusion and that the hunter biden la\ptop was russian misinforation and a whole raft of other lies. The same people who fough bitterly to hide the truth to win in 2020 are claiming we MUST get to the truth in 2024.
And What Truth is it that we do not already know ?
It is likely that Trump had affairs with a Porn start and another women. Trump is still denying that, but most of his supporters accept that. It is NOT a crime. Daniels has made a fortune selling autographs to Trump supporters.
It is unquestioned that Trump hired Micheal Cohen to LEGALLY silence these stories. Again that is legal.
It is likely that he had MANY reasons for doing so – marital harmony with Melania being one, and winning the election being another.
Bragg is fixated on the election part – but he is on the wrong side of the law and the FEC. The FEC klong ago rules that financial expenditure that benefit a person as a candidate AND have benefits aside from the election are NOT improper campaign contributions.
Johnathan edwards paid his pregnant paramour for silence in a campaign with money from a big contributor while his wife was in the hospital dying of cancer. The FEC said that was OK – Jack Smith – yea THAT Jack Smith prosecuted anyway and LOST.
Btag has to PROVE that a federal crime was committed – despite the FEC insisting over 3 decades that “HUsh money” by campaign donors is not a violation fo the law. This is COMPOUNDED by the fact that candidates can do pretty much anything they want in a political campaign with their own money – Their own money is NOT subject to Federal Election laws – this is DECIDED LAW.
That is why Cohen plead guilty to vilating campaign laws – because there is no crime if Trump paid Daniels.
If there is no federal crime – and given there has been no indictment and no charges of a FEC violation – much less a crime, if there is no federal crime. Then Bragg is precluded from trying to prosecute Trump for a federal crime in state courts. And without a a federal crime, there is no state records crime and Bragg is done.
While I have gone into way too much detain – and most people do not know all the details.
Most people DO know that Stormy Daniels was paid almost 200K for her silence regarding Trump.
And they KNOW that is legal.
They KNOW that Trump did not shoot her in the head. That he did NOT engage in any of the conduct that most of us associate with crimes.
Most people understand this for what it is – a political witch hunt.
As as such it is hurting the left not Trump.
The Edwards case slightly different in that the money came from a donor, whereas Trump used his own money
If I recall, it was a hung jury and the feds chose not to relitigate
Bragg has business being involved in a federal election case and as you pointed out, even Obama FEC chair stated that an expense that could have occurred absent an election is not considered a campaign contribution. Since the feds already declined to prosecute, there is absolutely no case
The standard for judges (and to a lessor extent prosecutors) is the appearance of impropriety.
We have heard you Rant that Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from cases that are tangentially connected tot he politics of his wife.
You can not claim that Thomas can not decide constitutional issues, because his wife holds views you do not like,
While claiming that Merchan is perfectly free to stay in a case where his daughter is actively involved and has lobbied him with respect to the guilt of innocence of a criminal defendant.
Criminal trials are top take place in public in court.
What we have with Merchan is a LARGE body of evidence that his role and actions as a judge occur OUTSIDE the courtroom and hidden from the public.
He has ORDERED Trump’s judges not to file any motions without pre-clearing them with him first – that and numerous other UNUSUAL procedures for this case are deliberate efforts to not only thwart due process but to prevent a PUBLIC Trial.
You ranted that Alina Habba was ineffective as a lawyer because she did not raise objections – when Judge EnMoron had threatened her with contempt if she did. But Habba worked arround EnMoron by using nuymerous motions to get onto the record all of the law and evidence that EnMoron was trying to hide from.
Merchan is playing by the same playbook as EnMoron – but Merchan is smarter and slightly better at hiding his biases.
Regardless, Trump’s lawyers have worked aroound Merchan’s efforts to thwart due process and conduct this star chamber trial behind the scenes. Merchan illegally demanded that the inform him prior to filing motions to get his approval first – so they are now filing motions requesting permission to file motions and then including the motions they intend to file and the communicatiosn the judge and prosecutors have had trying to keep this out of the public. The right to a PUBLIC trial is a DEFENDANTS right and it is in the Bill of rights.
Not only is Merchan’s gag order unconstitutional – but it is part of an entire “conspiracy” that Merchan is LEADING to thwart due process and the rule of law.
Trump has repeatedly PUBLICLY discussed the issue with Weisleberg – YOU KNOW – The Trump CEO that you think committed perjury.
Trump can not Name Wesleberg publicly – because he could be a witness – not that he has anything inculpatory to say.
Regardless for all the attacks Trump has made on Cohen – Trump has NOT Turned on Weisleberg, nor has Weisleberg turned on trump.
Trump has publicly defended Weiselberg – Trump is particularly focused on Weiselberg – Because Merchan was involved in the efforts to flip Weiselberg and his involvement was illegal and unethical. The prosecutors used MErchan to strong arm Weselberg into a plea. Merchan personally threatrened Weiselberg with decades in prison if he did not plea.
I know this is difficult for you to grasp – But a Judge can not tell a potential defendant to plead or face a trial with that has already decided the case and a punative sentence. Merchan at the last minute – kicked the Weiselberg case to another judge – belatedly realizing that you can not sentence someone who you had previously threatened with decades in jail prior to a plea or conviction.
Regardless, Merchan not only does not belong presiding over Trump – he does not belong presiding over ANY case – My guess is that he actually does know the law – he just does not care.
Merchan does not want due process, he does not want a jury trial, he does not want a trial with evidence in public. He is not merely looking to gag Trump publicly – but Trump’s lawyers in court. He wants a trial conducted outside the court, by him and the prosecutor and his family and democratic Get Trump freinds. He is levanti berria reincarnated.
And he is already in toruble., He has actually lied in his own orders – contradicted by his OWN communcations.
This is WHY we conduct trials in public – THERE IS NO CASE HERE – most everyone knows it.
Successfully prosecuting Trump can only occur if you can gag Trump and his attorney’s and ignore the law and the evidence – or lack thereof.
Regardless, Trump is putting Merchan on trial – just as he did with EnMoron – and there is NOTHING Merchan can do to stop that.
EnMoron was stupider. Be Merchan is more devious – and that actually backfires easier.
Merchan was actively involved in the efforts to PROSECUTE Weisleberg who is at the very least a witness.
While a violation of judicial ethics – that actually occurs SOMEWHAT commonly. What does NOT occur is a Judge who was being used by the prosecutors to flip a witness or force a plea, AFTERWARDS participating in related TRIALS. You can not be both a prosecutor and a judge on related matters.
Members of the mafia do not tend to criticise the politics of the judges or prosecutors that go after them.
They threaten their Lives, or the lives of their family members – the mob does not tend to expose political truths.
They threaten ACTUAL violence.
As you seem to like political news diaria
Kathy Griffith had a show in a small venue in long island today – and could not fill the seats.
But outside the event thousands of trump supporters peacefully drove by.
While left wing nuts waiting to get into the show complained that “the was what is wrong with america today” – what – that people can peacefully protest wing nuts ?
Four presidents showed up in NYC today. Biden expressed condolences over the recent shooting of an NYC police officer by a person with 21 prior charges and many currently pending. KJP promised to fight criminals killing police by working to pass more gun laws.
Of course if DA’s in NYC enforced the laws that were already on the books Ofc. Dillard would sitll be alive.
It is increasingly evident that the only purpose those on the left have for passing laws is to weaponize them against people they do not like.
Increasingly those on the left like criminals, murderer, and do not like conservatives.
Clinton and Obama did not mention Dillard. None of the three reached out to police or to Dillards family.
Donald Trump called Dillards wife after the shooting. She went to Dillards funeral today. Biden, Clinton and Obama went to fund raisers.
Making little news – because Trump did not mention it, Dillard’s wife’s mortgage was paid off today, and a 10,000 dollar scholarship was setup for his son – later matched by another 10,000. This all was the result of the group Tunnels to Towers started after 9/11. Where did T2T get the money for Dillard ? A contribution from Donald Trump. It is virtually unreported – But Trump does this type of thing all the time.
He hears a tragic story on the news, and he writes a check. He does not talk publicly about this. He just does it quietly.
You rant about the purported people ripped off by Trump. These are people in business deals with contracts and those contracts were followed. Fraquently as with most of the alleged contracting complaints from NYC – these people did not even have a contract with Trump or his company. They were subcontractors, working for a general contractor on a Trump project. BTW that is Normal it is how everything from bus stops to the World trade center are bult.
Separately a whole raft of additional motions against the Willis prosecution were filed in GA. McAfee seems to have decided that he is unwilling to make controversial decisions and is pretty routinely kcking things up to the apellate courts.
In GA only one judge of 3 on an apelate panels has to decide a case might have merit to accept the apeal, and even if all 3 judges chose not to accept – the appeal can still go en banc or to the GA Supreme court.
A federal judge in DC has released a J6 defendant because the Supreme court is likely to rule that his prosecution violated the first amendment. But the DC prosecutor is warning other defendants NOT to challenge their convictions should SCOTUS as expected throw out 18US1512C charges on 1st amendment grounds,. That prosecutor has warned that if J6 defendants try to challenge their 1512C conviction that he will try to get all the minor charges imposed consecutively – not concurrently – of course it is federal law and judicial procedures that determine that – not prosecutors, and the general rule is that all charges from a single even are concurrent.
In other news Disney has Tapped out of its war with Florida. Disney and Florida have settled – or more accurately Disney has capitulated.
Its special district status is done. The settlement gives Disney very little beyond an end to the conflict. Conversely 3rd party lawsuits against Disney continue.
We constantly gety these idiotic claims about the first amendment from lefgt wing nuts like you – which esssentially devolve to Those on the left can say whatever they want without consequences to whoever they want including forcing political and sexual indoctrination on children against the will of their parents, but those you disagree with can be silenced at will by the left.
You Lost.
Estimated cost to Disney of this Woke fight $1T
So are you prepared to cede that you DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT when you address first amendment issues ?
The modern dem party needs to be incinerated, period. If any of you ‘classical liberals’ have a shred of sense left, stop this madness. You cannot possibly be so deluded and privileged you can’t see what’s happening, and you aren’t going to be able to ignore it forever. Your party is as dead as JFK, whom you still seem to believe you’re voting for (you are NOT. The man is dead and buried, and so are his values). Move on with the rest of us and make things better. We can’t possibly keep this up.
Aesop Fable “The Eagle and the Beetle”:
A hare, being pursued by an eagle, took himself for refuge to the nest of a beetle, whom he entreated to save him. The beetle therefore interceded with the eagle, begging of him not to kill the poor suppliant, and pleaded with him, by mighty Jupiter, not to break the laws of hospitality because he was so small an animal. But the eagle, in wrath, gave the beetle a flap of his wing, and straightway seized upon the hare and devoured him.
When the eagle flew away, the beetle flew after him, to learn where his nest was. Getting into the nest, the beetle rolled the eagle’s eggs out of it one by one and broke them. The eagle, grieved and enraged to think that any one should attempt so audacious a thing, built his nest the next time in a higher place. But there, too, the beetle got at it again and served him in the same manner as before.
Upon this the eagle, being at a loss what to do, flew up to Jupiter, his Lord and King, and placed the third brood of eggs as a sacred deposit in his lap, begging him to guard them for him. But the beetle, having made a little ball of dirt, flew up with it and dropped it in Jupiter’s lap, who, rising up on a sudden to shake it off and forgetting the eggs, threw them down and they were again broken.
Jupiter, being informed by the beetle that he had done this to be revenged upon the eagle who had not only wronged him, but had acted impiously towards Jove himself, told the eagle, when he came to him, that the beetle was the aggrieved party and that he complained not without reason. Being unwilling that the race of eagles should be diminished, he advised the beetle to come to peace with the eagle. As the beetle would not agree to this, Jupiter transferred the eagle’s breeding to another season, when there are no beetles to be seen.
No one can slight the laws of hospitality with impunity; and there is no station or influence, however powerful, that can protect the oppressor, in the end, from the vengeance of the oppressed.
Have u noticed NPR NEVER presents the conservative point of view on any topic? Ever. Adam Schiff has the only opinion that matters. DEFUND COMMUNIST RADIO
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
Congress has no constitutional authority to tax for individual welfare, specific welfare, particular welfare, favor, or charity.
Congress has no constitutional authority to tax for NPR.
Congress has the constitutional authority to tax and spend for only debt, defense, and general Welfare per Article 1, Section 8.
General Welfare is defined as ALL WELL PROCEED and manifested as basic infrastructure such as roads, water, electricity, post office, telecom, internet, search engine, airports, sewer, rubbish collection, and commodities and services that all people require in similar amounts and frequency that are not readily available in the free markets of the private sector.
It’s not just NPR. Look who is a major contributor to the AD Council. The Feds.
Do you remember the term, Big Pharma? You don’t hear it anymore, do you? Ever since COVID, when the Democrats made it mandatory to gets shots. Big Pharma then made a boatload of money and in turn advertised like crazy on Democrat news outlets ( aka Mainstream Media ), keeping them afloat. No Democrats are using the term “Big Pharma”.
Next comes the insurance companies, mandatory insurance laws, same deal.
Have you noticed Turley never posts anything that doesn’t play well to the Fox news audience?
5 billion people testified Holy Joe knew nothin about nuthn. (No kiddin) 1 person, to save himself from a life prison sentence, confessed finally that daddy dearest knew all about everything.
April Fools joke?
Which is the larger threat to democracy, a protest against election interference on January 6th, in which some turned to rioting, interrupting Senate proceedings to cause a delay of two hours, or Joe Biden’s corruption, selling his political favors while in office for millions of dollars to China and other governments, and using three letter agencies to target political opponents?
Crooked Joe
The Trump attempted coup is worse. Also Trump sold out to foreigners more then Biden is even being accused of.
Sammy, can you please explain how the group of protestors, some of whom rioted, on January 6, planned to overthrow the entire US government, without any weapons? They were protesting election interference. Most of them were let in by Capitol police. Most of them took selfies and strolled around like tourists. One group tried to barge onto the Senate floor and interrupt the proceedings, in protest. The only person killed was an unarmed female protestor. Reports of a police officer killed by riots were entirely fabricated. He died of natural causes after the riot.
Was it sedition when Democrats protested an election in Madison, WI, and occupied the state capitol?
Compare and contrast the riot on Jan 6, with the seizure of entire city blocks, at gunpoint, to create the “autonomous zone” of CHOP/CHAZ. Anarchists were armed, and had a plan to take control of the area, and drive out police, fire, and EMTs.
Karen S: (I know it’s you). January 6 wasn’t a “protest against election interference” because there wasn’t any election interference to protest. But, if there had been, the place to protest would be state elections offices, not Washington DC.. January 6th was a planned and coordinated attack on the Capitol, following “Stop the Steal” campaign rallies, to stir up Trump fans to try to prevent Congress from accepting the certified vote totals–AFTER Trump couldn’t bully Secretaries of State into “finding” votes he didn’t get and AFTER he couldn’t bully Pence into refusing to accept the votes. And, the plot included fake electors falsifying Electoral College documents.
Where is the PROOF that Biden “sold political favors” to anyone? You don’t have any proof, and a year of hearings in the House have turned up nothing. And, no one is targeting Trump, either. Trump is a crook, a cheater and liar, who almost overturned a free and fair election. ALMOST being the operative word.
The questions keep the impeachment issue alive. I’d be precautious of James Comer’s approach. It portends an early exit for Biden in the Presidential Race and may offer an opportunity for another vetted DNC Democrat to step in by Convention time. Biden vs Trump is an easy call. Dem•X vs Trump is not so easy.
Dennis
Hard to answer your question as cheat is mentioned in regard to Trump yet the evidence of a cheat lies upon Biden. So in short, YES, I would much rather have Trump in office than Obama, I mean Biden.
If Trump were a cheat in his business dealings then he would cheat no one but another cheat, whereas Biden is cheating every citizen as his money comes from our taxes.
Good day …
Jonathan: No, President Biden will not dignify Jim Comer’s charade of an investigation. Comer has spent a year trying to prove Biden committed impeachable offenses. And the result? Nothing. Comer has reached a dead end. He has admitted he can never get the House, controlled by his own party, to approve articles of impeachment. Now if the next hearing was a wake to give Comer’s stunt a dignified burial I would urge Biden to attend!
That said, DJT had a bad week. He was ridiculed and mocked on TV and the internet for his “God Bless US” bibles grift and his claim he won his club’s third straight golf tournament. Yesterday, Stephen Colbert quipped: “Donald Trump, as far as I can tell, has just been trying to win a third championship at his own golf course. My question to you, sir, can voters trust a presidential candidate who has not won a single Trump International Golf Club trophy? At long last. sir, have you no chip-shot?” Joe Biden also weighed in. He says he challenged DJT to a round when he was Obama’s VP: “I told him once when he came into the Oval [before DJT was sworn in] . I said: ‘I’ll give you three strokes if you carry your own bag'”.
In 2016 DJT told voters he would have no time to play golf if elected. He would be working for the American people. Yet, when he was elected DJT played at least 300 rounds during his four years in office. Obama played about the same amount during 8 years in office!
Does DJT cheat at golf? Ask the professional who have played with him. He cheats all the time. I have watched a number of videos showing DJT at his clubs. In one video it show DJT teeing off. He shanks the ball. He turns around, picks up another ball and tees off again. “Don’t count that last shot!”. DJT even has a supercharged golf cart so he can speed ahead of other players and take his ball out of the ruff or the water!
So I have a Q for all the DJT supporters on this blog. Will you vote for the candidate who cheats at golf, cheats on financial statements to get loans, cheats on his wife, and cheats by hiding top secret national defense docs from the FBI/DOJ? Is this the candidate you want to sit in the WH again?
At long last, sir, have you no shame?
You and your compatriots are all partisan, all the time. Trump is flawed, as are we all, but according to you Biden (and family) is a saint. Republicans bad, Democrats good. Any investigation by Democrats must be true (and believed no matter how at variance with the facts of the matter) while any and all initiated by Republicans are tainted by political prejudice (despite any provable facts which bear it out).
Keep it up. You’re one of the best advertisements for the corruption of the Democratic Party (not to mention the media and universities) driving Independents to embrace either Trump or third-party candidates.
Pity about RFK,Jr. shooting himself in the foot.
Dennis, golf. You’ve got golf.
Are you just going to ignore how Jonathan Turley has laid out, in a series of posts, the mounting evidence of corruption by Joe Biden and his family? The millions of dollars from China to his relatives, retaining 10% for Joe Biden?
What werethey buying? Ivanka’s Trump sold her jewelry designs. Donald Trump had hotels. What were people buying from Joe Biden and Hunter Biden?
No wonder you’d rather talk about golf.
Karen S: once more, all you do is parrot what you heard on Fox. There’s no actual evidence of “corruption” involving JOE Biden. Pathetic Turley tries to imply that Hunter Biden and James Biden did something shady and it was to benefit JOE Biden. Turley has made numerous errors–like claiming there was “influence peddling” in 2017, when Biden wasn’t even in office. But, like the Democrat-hating obedient disciple you are, you believe it. WHERE’s the proof of a quid pro quo? WHAT specific benefit did any Chinese person or company obtain by allegedly “bribing” Joe Biden, which is what you are trying to imply because influence peddling is legal, whereas bribery is not? WHERE’s the proof that JOE Biden ever got any money? How much money? When was it paid to him? You don’t know, because there isn’t any proof.
how do their pockets swell with moolah, Gogi? It felleth from heaven? And still, you run from Lover Boy’s aiding and abetting the murder of 1 million people. Sleep tight, my love, slick does. FOOL
IRS has the proof and the receipts and was told to stand down by the DOJ. Try to keep up.
WHO SAYS that the IRS “has receipts”? WHO? WHO says they were told to “stand down”? You are repeating the misinformation you Trump disciples love to believe from pro-Trump media.
Gigi- there is evidence of a telephone call by Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman, while Hunter’s father was sitting next to him, shaking down a Chinese businessman to fork over $5m NOW or risk the eternal wrath of Biden family. And the money was then paid. What do you call this?
NUTCHACHACHA, did William F. Wade say “DODO BIRD?”
…An incoherent and hysterical “DODO BIRD?”
It does have a nice ring to it when juxtaposed against your nature and character, wouldn’t you agree?
Oh, and may we abolish unconstitutional welfare and affirmative action yet or do you still need it?
Karen S: No, I don’t have golf. I played golf on twice in my life time and I didn’t cheat. Didn’t really like the game much. Riding around in a golf cart is not my idea of real exercise. My game was tennis.
How many columns has Turley posted about the so-called “corruption” scandal in the Biden family? I have lost track. All involve allegations without any proof. But Jim Comer ran with them in his year long investigation. And what did Comer actually prove? Nothing. Any evidence that Joe Biden received 10% of Hunter’s foreign business dealings? Nope. Look at the record of Comer’s investigation. Not a scintilla of evidence to back up any of his claims. If Comer had any real proof why hasn’t he taken it to the full House for an impeachment vote? He hasn’t because he knows he doesn’t have the goods and even the MAGA Republicans won’t vote to impeach Biden. What other proof do you need that Comer’s little exercise is nothing more that an attempt to smear Biden ahead of the November election?
Joe Biden doesn’t own hotel or golf resorts so he can’t make money from the Saudis or other governments and wealthy oligarchs seeking influence. Dr. Jill Biden doesn’t have a jewelry line so she can make money as the wife of the President. That would be “influence peddling” and profit making that neither of the Bidens have engaged in over the past 4 years. Ivanka and Jared made about $700 million during their time working in the WH. Jared walking away with $2 billion investment by the Saudis–because Jared spent his time in the WH protecting the Saudi royal family. Now that is the real “corruption” Turley should be writing about but he doesn’t. Don’t you find that curious?
Everything you just said is a Democrat talking point — not to be confused with REALITY.
There is a MOUNTAIN of EVIDENCE of Joe Biden’s Family Bribery & Racketeering Scheme.
The man is a liar, a crook, and a dirty filthy corrupt politician who should be impeached, removed and then prosecuted and tossed in prison for the rest of his life for his treachery. He is a despicable traitor to his country.
Dennis: thank you. All Republicans have done with their power is waste time in a baseless impeachment inquiry, instead of working to solve our problems, like the border crisis. The Biden Administration worked with a bipartisan group of Congresspeople, and together they came up with the best border security bill in decades, which Republicans, like the obedient lap dogs that they are, squelched because Trump told them to, so he’d have a fake issue to attack Biden for. And WHY are they trying to impeach Biden? Because Trump was impeached. Twice. And, for serious crimes. They HAVE to have some counter-narrative–like “Biden’s a crook too”. Problem is, there is no “there” there. Republicans have heard from witness after witness, none of whom has come up with anything coming close to a crime or misdemeanor involving Biden. They have proven they are fools–tenacious fools, but still fools. So now, they trot out Turley to try to breathe credibility into their Biden witch hunt. Thank goodness that Turley no longer has any credibility. Therefore, when he says there is a “well documented influence peddling” operation by the Biden family, he’s just making it up, because if there was “well-documented” proof of a crime, they wouldn’t need Biden’s testimony. And further, influence peddling per se isn’t a crime–it’s what lobbyists do for a living. How sad for Turley, especially on Good Friday.
well golly gogi, how did the 12 million get here in the past three years? Good luck answering that one u stupid idiot
Are you nuts?
You don’t have to ask her, just read her ridiculous replies…. TDS is making people even more nuts than they were before Trump. Fanatical.
If this is a bad week for Trump – I am sure DJT wants MORE of the same. As DJT stock price rose his net worth climbed to $8B. there has been a SMALL drop and he is Now worth $7.4B and is the 350th most wealthy person in the world according to Bloomberg.
The rises and falls of stock has more effect on his wealth than James or EnMoron.
Though aspects of the NY Appelate court decision are only temporary – they are also significant. To Temporarily limit EnMoron’s orders the appelate could had to decide that Trump was likely to prevail on the merits.
As to your loaded questions – If you put a gun to peoples heads – Most of them are going to vote for Trump.
Unarguably a majority of voters do not like Trump. Unarguably a majority of voters do not like Biden.
