Below is my column in The Hill on the release of the filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith just weeks before the election. Even Judge Tanya Chutkan described the move as “irregular,” but still ordered the release. While the usual voices heralded the move, others, including the CNN senior legal analyst, denounced the release as a raw political act by the court and the Special Counsel. The problem is that it was not in the least bit surprising.
Here is the column:
“The most stupendous and atrocious fraud.” Those words from federal prosecutors could have been ripped from the filing this week of Special Counsel Jack Smith defending his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
Yet they were actually from a Justice Department filing 184 years ago, just days from the 1840 presidential election. Democratic President Martin Van Buren was struggling for reelection against Whig William Henry Harrison, and his Justice Department waited until just before voters went to the polls to allege that Whig Party officials had paid Pennsylvanians to travel to New York to vote for Whig candidates two years earlier.
It was considered by many to be the first “October Surprise,” the last-minute pre-election scandal or major event intended to sway voters.
To avoid such allegations of political manipulation of cases, the Justice Department has long followed a policy against making potentially influential filings within 60 or 90 days of an election. One section of the Justice Department manual states “Federal prosecutors… may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election.”
Jack Smith, however, has long dismissed such considerations. For years, Smith has been unrelenting in his demands for a trial before the election. He has even demanded that Donald Trump be barred from standard appellate options in order to expedite his trial.
Smith never fully explained the necessity of holding a trial before the election beyond suggesting that voters should see the trial and the results — assaulting the very premise of the Justice Department’s rule against such actions just before elections.
After the Supreme Court rendered parts of his indictment against Trump presumptively unconstitutional, Smith made clear that he was prepared to prosecute Trump up to the very day of his inauguration.
True to his reputation and record, Smith refused to drop the main allegations against Trump to avoid official decisions or acts that the court found to be protected in Trump v. United States. Instead, he stripped out some prior evidence linked to Trump’s presidency, including witnesses serving in the White House. Yet the same underlying allegations remain. Smith just repeatedly uses references to Trump as acting as “a private citizen.”
It is like a customer complaining that he did not order a Coke and the waiter pouring it into a Mountain Dew bottle and saying, “Done!”
Smith even refused to drop the obstruction of official proceedings, despite another recent Supreme Court decision (Fischer v. United States) rendering that charge presumptively invalid.
Smith is making his case not to Judge Tanya Chutkan, but to America’s voters. Chutkan has consistently ruled with Smith to help him expedite the case. She permitted his hastened “rocket docket” despite declaring that she would not consider the election schedule as a factor in the pace of filings or even of the trial itself.
For critics, Judge Chutkan has proven far too motivated in the case. Indeed, many thought that she should have recused herself given her statement from a sentencing hearing of a Jan. 6 rioter in 2022. Chutkan said that the rioters “were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man — not to the Constitution.” She added then “[i]t’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.” That “one person” was then brought to her courtroom for trial by Smith.
In their latest move, Chutkan and Smith used the Supreme Court decision to file a type of preemptive defense — an excuse to lay out the allegations against Trump in a 165-page filing filled with damaging accounts and testimonials against Trump, just weeks ahead of the election.
Even Chutkin herself acknowledged that Smith’s request was “procedurally irregular,” but she still allowed it. This was a premature exercise that would ordinarily occur months later, after defense filings. She could have scheduled such filings just a few weeks from now. She could have easily kept the filing under seal to avoid the appearance of political machinations. But the political effect appears to be the point. Chutkin again selected the most politically impactful option, at Smith’s urging.
This was so “irregular” that ordinarily anti-Trump legal analysts, such as CNN’s senior legal analyst Elie Honig, denounced Smith’s filing as “an unprincipled, norm-breaking practice.” He added that “Smith has essentially abandoned any pretense; he’ll bend any rule, switch up on any practice — so long as he gets to chip away at Trump’s electoral prospects.”
Others, as expected, applauded the filing as not just well-directed but well-timed. Smith was making his closing election argument to voters because he knows that the 2024 election will be the largest jury verdict in history.
If voters reelect Trump, then neither Chutkin nor Smith will likely see a jury in the case. This is why they must convict Trump now in the public eye, or else admit to an effective acquittal by plebiscite.
Their timing could well backfire. The weaponization of the legal system is central to this election, including the role of the Justice Department in pushing the debunked Russia-collusion allegations from the 2016 race. For many, the content of Smith’s filing is not nearly as important as the time stamp over the case caption. Titled a “Motion for Immunity Determination,” it seems more like a “Motion for an Election Determination.”
Smith’s raw political calculation should be troubling for anyone who values the rule of law. None of this excuses anything in these allegations against Trump. But the most disturbing part of Smith’s October Surprise was that it was not in the least bit surprising.

Imagine lyrics by John Lennon:
“Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world”
Imagine the drunk/drug addict/womanizing/materialist Lennon, with net value of a billion dollars (in today’s dollars,) multiple luxury pallaces, who abandoned his home country GB to avoid taxes and live in a luxury NY condo worth likely $10M today, scolding the public to give up all their chit and live like paupers Soviet style. “Him! Him! F Him!
An anonymous figure (always dumber than dirt) was trying to convince people that there were no reasonable cases of election fraud in the 2020 election. He could not remember the cases already won by Trump, but he tried to show that Trump lost the cases. Trump v. Boockvar was an example, but he is wrong. That case was never tried .on its merits. I can provide many where Trump or the GOP won. In fact, out of the 92 cases, only 31 were tried on their merits, and Trump won 23.

The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
George, I see why you say that, but Congress’s failure is its reliance on the Supreme Court, lower courts and bureaucracy to fix their mess. That created a power vacuum, which all these entities filled.
Congress controls the budget. He who pays the piper calls the song.
This is an example of the dichotomization trap, a mental gaffe where the truth can only be A or B which are opposites of one another. “There was election fraud” vs. “there wasn’t election fraud.”
A rational thinker avoids this trap by framing the question quantitatively: How many ballots were fraudulently cast? This mode of inquiry takes one away from emotional thinking (which is how dichotomization thrives), and toward searching out facts.
Facts are the glue that holds society together. Numbers are often the key to pinning down the facts.
Falling into the dichotomization trap?….it’s the sign of a closed mind disinterested in pursuing facts that might change it.
The AP did an in-depth, 50 state study months after the 2020 election. They found approximately 500 votes were
fraudulently attempted to be cast for President, or an average of 10 / state. These were mostly a spouse acting on a recently deceased partner’s sincere wishes, and voters who had moved voting in two states.
There was an attempt to acquire 8000 absentee ballots by 2 criminal politicians working with MS-13 to capture the Mayorship of Hawthorne CA. This plot was discovered before ballots were mailed out. It was by far the largest attempt at election fraud in 2020. The organizers will face jail time.
“A rational thinker avoids this trap by framing the question quantitatively: How many ballots were fraudulently cast? ”
Pbinca, that is absolutely correct, and the left knows it. Democrats were desperate to hide the actual number of questionable ballots. That is why, among other things, they supported mail-in ballots, no ID and changing state Constitutional voting restrictions without proper authority. They blocked redress by trashing the ballot evidence that was supposed to be saved. They likely did some of their dirty work in the evening when no one was supposed to be there.
Why do you think the Democrats do not wish to secure our elections? Because many are dishonest and, along with some crooks on the right, the rest lack the cajones to correct the situation.
The following is a link to broaden anyone’s perspective on election fraud. It’s not the best, but the MSM and Google prevent easy access to data.
https://hereistheevidence.com/election-2020/stats/
“Facts are the glue that holds society together. Numbers are often the key to pinning down the facts.”
Again, Pbinca, you are absolutely correct. The left specializes in tearing apart the fabric of society so that they can take over the country. They take over the truth, the media, schools, religion, and healthcare and make the government bigger and all-powerful, ruled by an oligarchy or dictator. We have such examples all over the world.
“The AP did an in-depth, 50 state study months after the 2020 election. They found approximately 500 votes were
fraudulently attempted to be cast for President, or an average of 10 / state. ”
The AP is not a source. It is a deliverer of information that it selects, spins and distributes. Over the past decade, we have learned that the MSM cannot be trusted. One needs to go to raw and untouched sources or look at reputable ones.
“These were mostly a spouse acting on a recently deceased partner’s sincere wishes, and voters who had moved voting in two states.”
I find it distressing that your example is the best one you provide for showing fraud when there is so much more out there involving tens of thousands of votes and more. Apparently, you ignored every bit of the proof supplied on this blog instead of attempting to show what was fallacious.
You are a smart lady, so if you thought rationally and held your emotions back, you would also question the results. That doesn’t mean that you could tell the winner with certainty. It is only a recognition that our elections for the future should be more secure. We don’t want one party following the other and doubling down on making elections insecure to favor their candidates.
Your last example is one of many others that have been discarded without a complete evaluation. Thank you for engaging in an intelligent fashion. I worry about much that you say, but we diverge because one has to look deeper, especially at any of the solutions. You are smart, so I think you might agree.
Glad that you grasp that this is not a binary.
Disappointed that you think that some reporter from AP is even capable of doing an indepth sturdy.
A Democrat in NV plead guilty to a few counts of election fraud, in an investigation that exposed thousands of fraudulent ballots.
That alone discredits the AP story.
You can pretend that the Okeefe undercover video of Democrats paying $300 each for filled in ballots in Detroit is just some right wing conspiracy theory
You can stick your head in the sand regarding the TTV Ballot Box Video, and you can pretend that the Geofencing data just means that about 2000 people – some of whom were captured in in video stuffing ballot boxes were really just randomly visiting about a dozen ballot boxes per night. Miraculously ONLY in the 6 democrat cities that flipped the election.
Or you can pretend that Ballot harvesting laws – in 2020 ballot harvesting was illegal in 49 states, Unfortunately in 2024 the Wi Supreme court has found that Ballot harvesting is legal – so now it is only 48 state.
Democrats are ACTIVELY headed back to the nonsense that we had in the 19th century where political parties preprinted ballots and voters were paid to sign their names.
There is a reason that 38 states have constitutional amendment requiring Secret Ballots.
The requirements for a secret ballot are
an official ballot being printed at public expense,
on which the names of the nominated candidates of all parties and all proposals appear,
being distributed only at the polling place and
being marked in secret.
This precludes mailin voting.
The 4 requirements above are all Fraud prevention measures.
Ballots must be printed by the state.
They must never leave the control of the state.
Those requirements mean that all large scale election fraud MUST involve election officials.
One of the HUGE problems in 2020 and beyond is that the changes in procedures – especially mailin voting mean that many forms of fraud can not be identified, and even if they are – it is impossible to narrow down who performed the fraud.
Do you need an explanation why that is true ?
Democrats have DELIBERATELY chosen to DESTROY trust in our elections for personal convenience, ease in which they can manipulate reluctant voters and the oportunity for myriads of forms of fraud.
Just ONE example – we have had laws for more than a century that prohibit any campaigning inside the polls.
It is illegal for a party official to go into the polls with you lean over your shoulder and tell you how to vote.
Secret ballots mean that voters can not be coerced or induced to vote. It means that Election fraud schemes that involve threats or payments to voters are impossible – because it is impossible to know how someone voted, therefor it is impossible to reward or punish them for their vote.
How do you expect that to work with mailin voting ?
The answer is that you can not. Once a ballot shows up at a voters home – they can be threatened, induced, required to vote, and rewarded or punished for that vote. That can be done by party officials, it can be done by friends and family, It can be done by employers or unions.
And like all such things – it will rarely be caught. If you threaten or induce someone with respect to their vote – they are either a party to the crime if induced, or terrified if threatened. They are NOT going to come forward later.
This was rampant in the 19th century and the left has made it easy once again.
I would further note that because ballots have left control of election officials – forging ballots is now not merely possible – but easy.
Political parties can entirely bypass threatening or inducing voters in their homes, they can just download voter registries, search for registered voters that rarely vote, and manufacture ballots for them, dropping them in unattended ballot boxes.
Because of the destruction of election security measures – we can not even know if that happened.
Signature verification was a joke in 2020 and remains so – recent testimony of all election board members in atlanta is that ZERO mailin ballots in atlanta had ANY signature verification done as required by GA law.
The massive Maricopa county ballot audit found that 13,500 people submitted 48000 ballots – that were counted.
That COULD be innocent errors by voters in a confusing election – though I would note all those ballots were counted.
It could be an example of deliberate individual election fraud.
But it also could be evidence of multiple large scale fraud operations printing possibly 200,000 forged ballots for registered voters that were unlikely to vote – with 13K+ instances in which those voters ultimately decided to vote.
Regardless, your AP reporter completely MISSED 48K duplicate ballots in AZ in 2020.
Contra the claims of the left, there is LOTS of evidence indicating election fraud of various different kinds in 2020.
The good news is that Republicans have made an issue of election integrity since 2020 and super majorities of voters beleive that the system we have is untrustworthy.
Trump is campaigning to get voters to the polls to make his margin of victory larger than any possible fraud.
He is also campaigning heavily outside of swing states – while it is highly unlikely that Trump will win even some light blue states.
That is of secondary importance.
One of the lessons to republicans – to Trump specifically of 2020 is that he MUST win the popular vote. Doing so is a major antifraud measure.
Why ? Because while there are many factors driving the failure to investigate allegations of election fraud in 2020, the most significant is that Trump lost the popular vote. That is not supposed to matter – but Democrats have dwelt on that for multiple election cycles.
And far to many judges, prosecutors etc. do not take seriously fraud allegations without a nationwide majority of votes.
RIGHT NOW – it is likely if the election was tomorow that Trump would win the popular vote.
That makes large scale election fraud far less likely.
Any person even slightly knowledgeable regarding the 2020 election can cite dozens of examples of uninvestigated or barely investigated election fraud.
Even the possibility of a Trump popular vote victory means that it is much more likely that the legal system will take those allegations seriously and a real election will take place.
We wasted many years investigating Clintons Collusion Delusion hoax – and it took 4 years to establish that it was CLINTON who committed election fraud – not Trump.
Regardless there was no foundation for those investigations – we now KNOW that the FBI KNEW the collusion delusion was a HOAX right from the start. Yet still the investigation occurred. Why ? Because Clinton won the popular vote.
When Trump wins the popular vote in 2024 – if he loses the EC vote, all kinds of people who were reluctant to do so in 2020, will be investigating in 2024. Even if Harris is inaugurated – what is near certain to be a GOP Senate will spend 4 years investigating.
As well as a GOP house should republicans retain that.
All it takes is establishing ONE clear instance of organized fraud – and the entire democratic party collapses.
There is little doubt there will be fraud in 2024. Most of the ballot harvesting in 2020 is still possible and will continue in 2024.
There is little to prevent party operatives from knowing on the doors of reluctant voters and not just pushing them to vote, but making sure they vote “correctly” – it is going to take a long time to reign that in.
But many other forms of election fraud that likely occured in 2020, are esentially impossible in 2024.
Not because we have fixed our election laws – in many states those are WORSE.
But because Republicans KNOW what to look for in 024 and are looking. Because the general population expects fraud and will not be surprised when it is found. Because the courts will be more receptive to election fraud claims.
Simplified – some forms of election fraud from 2020 are highly unlikely in 2024 – because democrats will get caught.
“A rational thinker avoids this trap by framing the question quantitatively: How many ballots were fraudulently cast? This mode of inquiry takes one away from emotional thinking (which is how dichotomization thrives), and toward searching out facts.”
Correct. Establishing how many fraudulent votes may have been cast requires several things.
Understanding the election procedures that were used. The entire reason for most election laws, regulations and procedures is to reduce the oportunity for fraud, and to increase the chance of catching fraud.
It is logical to presume that the weaker the the constraints on fraud the more fraud there will be.
It is even reasonable to presume that weaking constraints on fraud is done with the intent of increasing fraud.
Neither of those assumptions are PROOF. But both are reasons to expect a higher probability of fraud.
You noted AP’s “investigation” – such investigations that ignore the elephants in the room actually UNDERMINE claims that the election was fraud free. Whether you like it or not, people want REAL investigations. Appoint Sydney Powell as SC to investigate election fraud in the US.
She is incredibly motivated to find it. Absolutely she is biased – but our system is SUPPOSED to have guardrails to prevent overzealous prosecutors from manufacturing crimes – and abusing the system – atleast that is what the left constantly tells us.
Regardless,. when Sydney Powell produces a Mueller like report – Something along the lines of “I dug under every rock and cranny and could not found Fraud – but I still beleive there was fraud’ THEN much of the electorate will be ready to conclude there was no fraud.
The Cyber Ninja’s investigation in AZ found myriads of problems – nearly 50% of Maricopa county ballots would have been rejected had AZ election laws been properly followed. There were plenty of indica of potential fraud, There were plenty of errors that made detecting fraud impossible. There report was DAMNING. But what it did not find was incontrovertable proof of organized election fraud favoring a single candidate. What it did not find was DVS tabulators deliberately miscounting the ballots. It found lots of problems with DVS equipment – reckless errors, negligent errors, errors that made fraud easier and proving it harder. The audit did find actual mailin ballot fraud, possibly enough to tip the election – except that you can prove that 13500 people voted multiple times. But you can not prove who they voted for.
But that too is another problem with your argument.
The proper goal of reasonable people – is to have elections they can trust. Trump’s goal is to prove that but for Fraud he won the election.
But the correct logical review that rejects the false black and white dichotomy that you oppose, is not Was large scale fraud that tipped the election proven. But was it possible. Could fraud sufficient to tip the election have occured without getting caught ?
There are SOME allegations that Trump. Gulliani, Powell and Trump supporters have made that have proven false – there was no organized Fraud by or involving DVS in Maricopa, Antrim and Winham counties – the only places in the US were there was an actual audit of the tabulators. Those audits found LOTS of problems – most of which have not been corrected and a few of which COULD work in a partisan fashion. But the DVS issues in those counties were all still reckless error, not intentional fraud. Some of those errors make FUTURE fraud possible. Errors as a whole increase the possibility of fraud and the likelyhood those engaging in it will get away with it.
The claims of secret servers in Italy or Germany rigging the election are if not proven false very close to. Though far greater transparency would have helped.
But the allegations of ballot harvesting have proven true – frankly the Time article by democrats celebrating how they won in 2020 is an admission of ballot harvesting – ignoring that outside of California it is illegal.
The question regarding 2020 is not Did organized illegal ballot harvesting occur on very large scale.
Was it merely democrats getting information realtime from Zuckerberg groups inside of the election on what registered voters had not yet voted and sending campaign staff to their homes to “encourage” them to vote ? Did it go beyond “encouraging” to coercing or inducing ?
Did it involve mild coersion to overcome reluctance to vote, did it involve getting them a mailin ballot that they would not have acquired otherwise. Did it involve gathering those mailin ballots and delivering them to dropboxes rather than trusting these reluctant voters to do so on their own. I would note ALL of the above is ILLEGAL, and democrats have admitted doing most of that.
And TTV has proven that much of that – or possibly worse occured.
While the above is all illegal, it is not the extent of the ballot harvesting fraud that could have occured.
Rather than visit reluctant voters and cajole – or coerce/induce them to vote – and vote for prefered candidates.
It is also possible that these reluctant voters were just skipped entirely – that ballots were produced for them without their knowledge.
This is a far more serious from of organized fraud. We have plenty of evidence of voters that did not vote by mail, who according to 2020 records DID vote by mail. Of people who died, or were incompetent to vote, or who showed up to vote in person and were told they had already voted by mail. This type of fraud does NOT require large numbers of people to be involved to commit large scale fraud.
It does not even require many of those involved to actually know they are participating in election fraud.
It is NOT possible without mailin voting. It is also not possible without ballot harvesting to mask its presence.
Did that happen ? We do not know. Was it possible ? Absolutely. Is there evidence that it probably occured ? Yes.
AP did NOT look at fraud allegations. They only looked at fraud convictions. Even in those instances they only looked at what people plead guilty too – not what they were accosed of and what there was evidence of. As an exampel a NV government officials plead guilty to I beleive 5 counts of ballot fraud, received a slap on the wrist sentence and remains in public office.
But the evidence was that she committed thousands of instances of ballot fraud.
TX – the only state that aggressively pursues election fraud had MANY cases similar tot he NV one – where people are investigated for large scale fraud and plead guilty to one or two counts of fraud.
While you are correct that there is a small amount of election fraud by individuals acting on their own – and that is of no consequence regarding the outcome of elections, that is NOT the extent of election fraud.
Further you are Ignorning the fraud found in Connectifcutt in a 2022 Mayoral primary, where a Democrat Judge found that one candidate and their staff engaged in illegal ballot harvesting amounting to 35% or more of all ballots.
There is ZERO differences between the Fraud that judge found in CT and what TTV found on a massively larger scale in 6 swing cities – EXCEPT that in CT a court took the evidence seriously.
If you accept – as the Judge in CT did, that video of people stuffing a dozen or more ballots into a ballot box is sufficient evidence to invalidate an election, then you must invalidate 2020 election results in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Pheonix, Madison and Milwaukee, Los Vegas, and Detriot,
Pbinca, if you are really interested in voting fraud, listen to this interview with Musk and then do your own research. Start at 12:30 and then go back to 9:20 for more understanding. Then you can go a minute or two back and see how he praised Buttigieg for not wanting to be partisan. If you want to laugh, go back to the beginning and watch the discussion unfold. Make sure you listen to California and no ID.

For the record: Trump only won one case that resulted in ballots not being counted. The rest we all procedural, and most were pre-election. Their definition of “won” and “tried on their merits” is also very loose.
For more information see the book “How to Lie With Statistics”.
“For the record: Trump only won one case that resulted in ballots not being counted. The rest we all procedural, and most were pre-election. ”
Sammy, It is hopeless to discuss anything with you because your thinking process is one level deep, and your facts are usually garbage. Many have corrected or demonstrated a different way of looking at things when you post, but you do not respond.
You are hit and run, and superficial to boot. You need to read your book on statistics.
The purpose of the BLM and pAntifa riots was for the Left to demonstrate its muscle – it was a threat of violence to the Right. No judge would want to hear an election fraud case and have a violent militia mob show up at their home. Those mobs were literally life-threatening.
Interestingly, the Right’s demonstration showed that we have far superior numbers and are somewhat less inclined to throw malatov cocktails. Sadly, the Jan 6 bunch was politically outmanoevered by the Wicked Witch of the West and are paying the price.
The Wicked Witch of the East wants total control but I think she’s past her use by date.
I expect things to get worse this month and next.
Kunstler on Hillary’s complaint that “we lose total control”:
Yes, as matter of fact, you do. This might be a book tour too far for Mrs. Clinton and her claque, now that her basket of deplorables shivers in the cold and dark out in Appalachia amid the stink of their kinfolks’ uncollected corpses. The Party of Chaos has managed to piss-off the most ferocious demographic in the land, the wild and cross-grained Scotch-Irish who populate those devastated hills and hollows of Western Carolina and East Tennessee, the people who, for generations, were first to volunteer to fight in America’s wars, the Sargeant Yorks, the moonshiners and the stock car heroes, the Johnson Boys, Boones and Crocketts, Hatfields and McCoys, the very warp and woof of our folklore, half horse and half alligator, born fighting. And now you and your gang of wine-club harpies, Beltway mezzofinukes, Hollywood Satan-conjurors, Hamptons charity-hags, globe-trotting errand boys, color revolution maestros, race hustlers, drag queens, lawfare shysters, spooks, cut-outs, beach friends, and grifters have gone and pissed these folks off royally.
My guess would be that you have not begun to see the repercussions of the Hurricane Helene fiasco, which will resound far from the gates of Dollywood for years to come. I hope Alejandro Mayorkas enjoys the waffle-weave sweater he picked up in a Georgetown boutique on Saturday while the dazed people of Buncombe County, NC, stumbled dazed through a shattered landscape of creek-bed and forest scraped down to little more than what their ancestors first came upon in the 1760s. It may have to last him through the term he serves in federal prison when this is all over. And by this, I mean mainly the reign of this wicked regime he’s a major player in, with its claws slipping off the levers of power. Do you really suppose that America will elect the empty pant-suit Kamala Harris to front for this depraved cabal?
Remember what the Romanians did to Madame Ceaușescu on Christmas day in 1989, when she and her husband Nicolae, erstwhile president of that sore-beset country, just liberated from decades of communist captivity, were summarily tried by a provisional court after attempting to flee. I’ll tell you: they trussed the two of them up like a couple of Carpathian wild hogs (Sus scrofa), and hauled them before a firing squad. Which is not exactly to say that the United States is like Romania, but that such things happen surprisingly in formerly quiescent places. The people hated her as much, perhaps even more, than her despot husband. Just sayin’.
Why exactly Hillary Clinton would be dumb enough to come out on every news channel and Internet site on Gawd’s green earth to declare the end of free speech throughout Western Civ might remain one of those abiding mysteries of history. Bad timing doesn’t begin to explain it. What does explain it is the psychotic desperation of her party now that the days to election dwindle down and the pathetic figure they “nominated” stumbles from one campaign blunder to the next, and the whole sick crew behind her entertains dark visions of courtrooms and prison cells — including, by the way, her cohort in nation-wrecking Barack Obama, who could be liable to charges such as conspiracy to commit sedition, or even a higher crime, if the election goes the wrong way for him. You might suppose they are fighting for their very lives without being accused of exaggeration.
In the event of Hurricane Helena and other churning contingencies of the season, Mr. Trump is not only looking more presidential, he is apparently being regarded as something close to an actual acting president in the eerie absence of “Joe Biden,” who looks more and more like one of those three-hundred-dollar Home Depot animatronic ghouls Americans are planting in the front yard this season of the walking dead, along with the giant inflated jack-o-lanterns, beckoning skeletons, and plastic tombstones. In other words, it looks like the people are going to vote Mr. Trump back into office, since he is the only thing the least bit presidential on offer in 2024. Even the Covid-addled, the many new demoralized Woke drop-outs, and the beaten-down male youth of America are leaning his way now and it scares the Democrats down to their livers and lights.
Accordingly, I received notice late Sunday from an informant in commercial aviation, with connections to military aviation, that a massive deployment of aircraft is preparing logistics for a major operation set to go down in about a week, probably in the Middle East. I can’t guarantee you that it is for real, but it was a real warning message, at least, from a serious person, and you know that something could be up. . . some humdinger of an October Surprise, like a big fat world war. What else have they got now? Jack Smith’s lame-ass attempt to beef-up an “insurrection” charge against Mr. Trump in Judge Chutkan’s abject facsimile of a federal court? Everything else has been fail, fail, fail all year long . . . the head-cases with rifles. . . all the other court cases contrived by Merrick Garland, Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen, and Mary McCord. . . the ineffectual bleatings of The New York Times’s editorial board? They’re plumb out of tricks and they know it. So, yes, Hillary. You lose total control.
Kunstler ? The lawyer ?
Interesting talk about god’s chosen.
“Trump has suggested that the two assassination attempts on his life this year might have failed because, “perhaps it’s God wanting me to be president to save this country; nobody knows.””
And MTG says evil Democrats aimed hurricane Helene at Republican areas. Perhaps god aimed the hurricane at Republican areas to get them to come to their senses and abandon the charlatan, felon, rapist, grifter, trump.
And isn’t there another hurricane heading for “republican” Florida?
Repent now, change your evil ways.
^^ Paid DNC troll. Ignore. ^^
Dude no, we troll you MAGAs for free.
And as you demonstrate repeatedly, you do not do it very well. For that matter, you only make yourselves look desperate, juvenile and not very bright.
I thought left wing nuts did not beleive in god ?
Regardless, while Milton is bad news for the people of Florida – there is no scenario in which it causes no damage, though we can hope for as little as possible.
There are still only two choices – Florida weathers it well – and DeSantis – not FEMA gets credit.
Or it is a total disaster – and Trump gets another oportunity to Make Biden/Harris look inept.
As Rahm Emanuel once said “never let a catastrophe go to waste”
Hurricane Milton might not be the last one. Another tropical storm is already forming. The issues with FEMA stem from Congress not properly funding it in the last funding gap measure to keep the government running before the election. Republicans are still struggling to pass a budget. The unfounded FEMA rumors are baseless. Trump has been spreading lies about the Biden administration regarding FEMA and hurricane responses. It’s up to Congress to make funds available to FEMA, not the president. Republicans in the House are not rushing to provide emergency funding to FEMA. Florida seems to be on a path to being battered by a series of hurricanes this season. Milton is the second to hit in almost under two weeks, and another is forming behind it. Insurance companies will be begging the government for help paying for claims. Policyholders will also be fighting insurance companies over payments that are due. There are already cases of insurance companies committing fraud, altering assessment reports and engineering reports to avoid paying claims.
Where is this other storm forming? I didn’t see it on the NHC site.
“Hurricane Milton might not be the last one. Another tropical storm is already forming.”
If might not. A typical hurricane season involves hundreds of tropical storms and more than a dozen huricanes.
But a typical hurricane season only involves one or two making landfall in the continental US with sufficient powerr and at a place where damage will be high.
“The issues with FEMA stem from Congress not properly funding it in the last funding gap measure to keep the government running before the election. ”
This is absurd nonense. First FEMA has NEVER done a good job with emergencies. This should not be surprising – as I noted in a prior post, the entire idea that you can handle the early emergency response in a top down fashion is ludicrously stupid.
Regardless, FEMA has ALWAYS gotten all the disaster funding they asked for. Even Mayorkas stated Publicly in July that FEMA had the funds they needed for the 2024 Huricane Season.
To an extent this is INHERENTLY false. There is no way to predict with certainty the scale of huricane related emergency services that will be needed in any year. While the size and frequency of hurricanes globally (and to a lessor extent in the atlantic) is nearly constant,
The paths of those huricanes, their strength at landfall and the resistance of the infrastruture where they strike is pretty much random.
Milton is headed straight for Florida. There will be damage, there may be deaths. But Milton is unlikely to have a fraction of the consequences that Helene had. Why ? Because huricanes like Milton hit Florida all the time and Florida is well prepared.
I doubt a Huricane like Helene has hit Ashville NC in the past 500 years. It is NOT that Helene was especially bad – it did little damage to Florida and would have done negligable damage comparatively had it camped over the Florida peninsula.
FEMA can not know ahead of time how much money it will need in a huricane season.
While Republicans are gleeful about the failure of FEMA to deal with Helene – they are getting their revenge for the political attacks on Bush regarding Katrina.
But the FACTS are – at very best, FEMA can come in
LONG after the fact and provide money. They are at best a form of emergency after the fact insurance.
They are NOT and never will be an effective first responder. In that role they are COUNTER productive – their efforts to control emergency response from the top are ALWAYS going to interfere.
There are FEW problems that can be best managed top down – and frankly even most of those are a mix of top down and mostly bottom up.
For the most part – though being framed as funding – this is NOT a funding issues. The funding metaphore is just the way the issues are being argued.
The Really big deal here is that American Citizens are getting screwed while illegal immigrants are getting benefits.
This has ALWAYS been a huge problem with the left’s assorted giveaways. There will ALWAYS be some circumstance in which people who do not (and possibly should not) get government help, feel screwed because others who DO (and should not) get government help.
While those on the left are WRONG about the details of the actual budgets – that DOES NOT MATTER.
People in NC who have just lost EVERYTHING, are getting $750 checks MAYBE and possibly nothing else.
And they are seeing illegal immigrants get government debit cards, and rooms in swank NYC Hotels.
Democrats created that problem – not budgets, not Republicans. And you are paying for it. As you deserve.
Worse still – people NOT in NC are looking at this and see it as very WRONG.
There is an aphorism “Charity begins at home”.
You will ALWAYS find that the closer people in need are to us, the more we will be upset when they fare worse than people who are far away.
Harris just talked about 200M in aide going to lebanon at a time when people in NC are looking for help.
Helene is making clear to americans that illegal immigrants are NOT top of our list for aide.
That Lebanese are not top of our list for aide.
That Ukrainians are not top of our list for aide.
Helene has highlighted how much assistance is NOT going to citizens.
Americans are generous to a fault. Most of us are heavily into charity.
But Government engaging in Charity will ALWAYS result in large numbers of people objecting
and that will ALWAYS be worse when those closer to us lose out and those farther benefit.
I personally contribute to charity to foreign orphans – my children are both adopted from foreign countries.
As a result orphans from foreign countries are closer to me.
But that is NOT true of others, and if Government was funding “save the Children” as a time when US families were suffering – people will be angry.
“Republicans are still struggling to pass a budget.”
No, they merely do not want to fund all the same crap democrats do.
I am perfectly fine with shutting all or part of govenrment down, rather than approving parts of the budget that only Democrats want.
No funding of any kind should get through congress without the support of Republicans in the house and senate and democrats in the house and senate and the president.
What our government should DO should be ONLY that which super-majorities can SUSTAIN support.
I am perfectly OK with republicans (or democrats)refusing to fund whatever they object to. There should be no need to engage in this nonsense.
Either you get enough support on EACH budget line item standing alone – or drop that item from the budget.
One partyu or the other should not have to threaten to shut down govenrment to cut funding.
Funding should be cut if that items standing alone can not get the support of the house, the senate, and the president. PERIOD.
“The unfounded FEMA rumors are baseless.”
False and irrelevant – FEMA is NOT part of handling illegal immigrants. Cite Federal law – that is statues passed by the house and the senate that authorize FEMA funds for illegal immigrants.
“Trump has been spreading lies about the Biden administration regarding FEMA and hurricane responses.”
For the most part you are wrong – but it would not matter if you are right – the majority of americans are NOT happy with money going to illegal immigrants when Citizens in NC are getting screwed.
If you were 100% correct – from the perspective of most americans – The priorities of our govenrment are screwed up.
If you were 100% correct – Americans would STILL be behind Trump on this issue.
“We are following the law, and the law screws citizens over illegals” is a LOSING argument for democrats.
it is also wrong, but that does not matter.
And I can not for the life of me understand why you do not understand that claiming Trump is lying gets you nowhere.
Trump is either right on the law, or his is right on what the law should be.
“It’s up to Congress to make funds available to FEMA, not the president.”
Apparently you missed sesame street on the legislative process – “The President Proposes, Congress Disposes.”
I would also note – that whether you are night or not does not matter.
Ultimately there will likely be hundreds of Billions approved in disaster relief funds.
It does not matter when that is done.
We are arguing over money, but the real problem is that FEMA purportedly exists to prevent disasters like this – which is impossible, or to help IMMEDIATELY – which is beyond the ability of top down emergency repsonse.
People are angry because they have lost everything – and the Federal Government is not there NOW.
Receiving a windfall – which they inevitably will months from now, is NOT going to make them less angry NOW.
It is not going to clear the bad taste regarding FEMA from their mouths NOW.
And the fact that illegals are getting govenrment debit cards and setup in swank hotels is NOT making that bad taste any less foul.
This is a BIG loss for democrats – and as George Bush discovered with Katrina – there is no way out.
When government engages in charity – there will always be pwople getting screwed and saying – “Why them and not me ?”
In this case you are tripply screwed because nearly everyone is saying “Why Them, and not citizens in a natural disaster ?”
The answer is to get government out of Charity – it is not their role, it is not their business.
Charity is nowhere in the constitution.
Is God’s wrath responsible for the Democrat utopian cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Washington DC? Are Democrat commies in those cities the opposite of God’s chosen?
Cities where soulless Democrat street animals slaughter other Democrat street animals at rates two and three times the national average? Chicago alone has Democrats slaughter other Democrats at numbers between 600 and 900 EACH YEAR, YEAR AFTER YEAR. ONE DEMOCRAT CITY.
Will Harris/Biden helping Helene kill Americans result in greater numbers dying in those states than die every single year in Chicago, Baltimore, Washington DC, etc from Democrat butchers killing other Democrats?
Is this God’s wrath for those Democrat utopias that elected the career Unindicted Felon and Daughter Humper, rapist, and racist, Joe Biden – the serial pathological liar that sold America to the Chicoms and Putin?
If God aimed the Hurricane – he did a great service to Trump.
NC residents are claiming that 90% of the help they are receiving is from private groups. Alot of that from groups that Trump is part of.
Trump in NC is a bigger deal than the assassination attempts.
You can claim it is political – and atleast partly it is. But Biden could be there. Harris could be there.
They aren’t.
Trump and Musk are running Billion Dollar Business empires – and they are there. Trump is running a massive political campaign – and he is there. Trump is facing massive lawfare that attempts to consume he every waking moment – and he is there.
Not only is he there – but he is making things happen. He is deliverying needed supplies himself and he is giving people hope.
But he is also making arrangements to help others get supplies in.
Biden could be there.
Harris could be there.
They are not.
And now we have Milton bearing down on Florida.
I do not know how that will play out – but there is NO way it goes that benefits Harris/Biden.
If it goes well DeSantis will get the credit – he has said already and repeatedly – Florida learned that FEMA is little or no help.
If it goes badly – it is another oportunity for Trump to implicitly and explicitly damn Harris without needed to say a word – though inevitably Trump can not stay silent even when silence is best.
But no matter, The polls have not yet reflected the myriads of disasterous interviews of Harris and Walz or the obliteration of Walz in the debate.
The polls do not yet reflect the botched mess of this administration in the mideast.
The polls do not yet reflect the Helene FEMA disaster or the tone deaf responses of Biden and Harris.
Turley writes of Jack Smith’s October Surprise filing. It is an egregious abuse of power. And it has failed – no one cares.
Trump has embraced all of this – there is a country song now – the Outlaw and the Hillbilly.
NC residents are claiming that 90% of the help they are receiving is from private groups. Alot of that from groups that Trump is part of. You can claim it is political – and at least partly it is. But Biden could be there. Harris could be there.
They aren’t
While Americans died, Biden was enjoying himself on the beach doing Testicular Tanning, while Harris was wining and dining herself with the Notorious Rich Who Don’t Pay Their Fair Share
Tampa is a mecca of Democrats and liberalism, NY retirement communities abound, Universities and communities loaded with middle eastern muslims. They had tried to initiate Sharia law there just a few years back. Tampa has always been a place of organized crime, urban sprawl and all round Democrat debauchery. If God was aiming, he’s not too far off.
I still wouldn’t wish for what is coming their way on anyone ever. I hope all have the wisdom to heed the evacuation instructions and leave and my prayers are for all that leave and choose to stay to face the wrath of Milton.
FEMA’s funding has been limited by House Republicans for years, and it’s Congress’s responsibility to ensure that FEMA receives adequate funding. Due to wildfires and insufficient funding, FEMA has been operating with minimal resources, largely because Republicans have been unable to pass a budget. Since their continuing resolution funding measures and constant threats of government shutdowns, FEMA has been unable to function at its full capacity. When Congress fails to provide proper funding, FEMA’s ability to respond to disaster areas is limited, and President Biden can only direct the agency to do as much as it can. Blaming FEMA’s limitations on Biden, while disregarding Congress’s funding role, is an unfair argument.
Matt Gaetz hypocritically voted against additional funding for FEMA before Hurricane Helene hit. Now he’s quick to point fingers at the Biden administration. Instead of taking pot shots at the administration, perhaps he should be focusing on calling for increased funding for FEMA, something he is directly responsible for.
George – Democrats controlled the house from 2019-2023.
Biden asked for a specific budget for FEMA and got it.
Biden chose to spend that money has he did.
I find Biden’s use of FEMA money for illegal immigrants unlawful.
But Trump’s use of other emergency money to build the wall is slightly less so – but still unlawful.
Fema was not created, nor has congress given them a role in immigration.
And Govenrment can not manufacture an emergency by failing to enforce immigration laws and then use the emergency that results to spend emergency funds.
“Due to wildfires and insufficient funding, FEMA has been operating with minimal resources”
Not what Mayorkas said in July.
“largely because Republicans have been unable to pass a budget”
The CR’s that resulted from avoiding a government shutdown without passing a budget means tha FEMA has the same money – plus a COLA that they had in 2023 an 2022 and ….
“FEMA has been unable to function at its full capacity. ”
Again not what Mayorkas said in July.
Sorry George – Democrats own this.
“When Congress fails to provide proper funding, FEMA’s ability to respond to disaster areas is limited”
And yet FEMA found funds for illegal immigrants. Nearly a Billion
Jonathan: Speaking of an October surprise, did you see DJT’s Saturday rally in Butler, Penn–the scene of the crime. Of course, DJT is a walking, talking scene of the crime wherever he goes.
That said, who was at DJT’s rally and got top billing? It was Elon Musk who got up on the stage and jumped around with his arms in the air. DJT turned around and gave that look that said “What are you doing? Don’t act like a 5 yr. old!”. When he got the microphone Musk said he had gone “Dark Maga” and falsely claimed the Dems are going to take away everyone’s First and Second Amendment rights. It was truly an embarrassing spectacle by goofy and weird Elon. But that is what we have come to expect from Elon in recent years. He is clearly not a well adjusted adult as shown by his performance at the Butler rally.
But as still one of the wealthiest men on the planet and a dangerous lunatic Musk is prepared to spend a lot of money to ensure DJT is re-elected–even if it means violating the law. Recently Elon’s “America Pac” set up a website to ostensibly register voters in the swing states. Any prospective voter who filled out the questionaire and was viewed as a likely Dem voter their information was not submitted for registration. The Michigan Secretary of State is currently investigating that violation of state law.
Now Musk is at another nefarious scheme. His America Pac is now offering $47 to anyone who gets someone to sign a “Free Speech & the Right to Bear Arms” petition. The $47 is “for each registered voter you refer that signs the petition”. It is only targeted at the swing states. Sounds very much like a violation of 18 USC Section 597 “Expenditures to Influence Voting” which is a crime. While Musk is not directly paying someone to vote it amounts to the same thing.
Musk thinks he can buy anything–even the presidency. Even DJT thinks that’s not a bad idea!
Goofy Elon does useful things. You don’t.
Yes, Dennis – Trump got possibly as many as 100,000 people to come to nowhere, PA.
Possibly only his Coney Island crowd was larger. Meanwhile Harris had 70 People at a Rally in Wisconsin.
I watched the part of the Rally involving Trump and Musk – Trump was quite happy to have Musk there.
They are spending alot of time both actually together and working together.
Musk is getting as much if not more good press in NC than Trump.
And Trump is smart enough to know – it does not matter who is in the spotlight – so long as it is NOT Harris – atleast not in a good way.
Helene in dozens of different ways is burning the Harris campaign to the ground.
Trump and Musk are doing what they do best – mobilizing private efforts to solve problems.
I would note that Trump has shared the spotlight in NC not just with Trump but with many other non-profits touting them at each opportnity.
And FOR PROFITS – Walmart is in NC – delivering for local communities.
Residents are praising ALL the private help they are getting – all of 10% of which is coming from FEMA.
As to Musk mental health – who cares. He is the self made richest many in the world. He has given you affordable and amazing electric cars.
He is taking man – Americans, back to the moon, and then to Mars. He is delivering the internet everywhere – and in disaster zones – like NC and Ukraine for free – so long as FEMA does not interfere.
If Musk is not mentally healthy – we need more like him. People want their children to grow up like Musk.
As to the lawfare you are engaging regarding Musk – no one beleives you.
AND
No one cares.
I would note that only government can register people to vote – political parties have for decades worked to get THEIR people registered to vote.
Do you think the DNC works hard to register Republicans ?
You have repeatedly argued that private businesses can censor people for political reasons – while you omit the fact that they are being driven by govenrment which is unconstitutional, and many other relevant details. The fact still us that absent acting as a government agent, or breaching their contracts with users, Private businesses CAN censor politically. And PAC’s are private entities. It would be perfectly legal for Musk to Cancel potential Harris voters by refusing to help them.
But no one beleives your claims that is what he is doing.
You and the left have lied so many times,
Weaponized Government against political enemies so often – no one beleives you and no one cares.
I would further note that Musk did not endorse Trump because HE has done nuts.
Musk endorsed Trump because the Biden administration treated Musk like $hit. Trying to screw him in every possible way.
You made Musk love Trump.
18 USC 597 – are you completely mad ?
That makes it illegal to bribe someone to get their vote – in the 19th century people were paid a couple of dollars (alot of money then) to sign pre-printed ballots and drop them in ballot boxes. Something that Democrat Ballot harvesting has brought back.
Regardless, your idiotic interpretation of 18 USC 597 would make all political campaigns a crime.
Dennis – his is one of your more absurd posts.
Trump is evil because he is helping people.
Musk is evil because he is helping Trump help people.
One of the most interesting things about the 2024 election is that
Trump – and nearly everyone arround him is ……
HAVING FUN ……. At Your expense.
Trump is having fun campaigning. Musk is having fun.
They are in NC helping people – and they are having fun.
The Harris DNC convention was supposed to be about joy – you could see it on their tightly stressed botoxed and face lifted faces – “er are having fun – Dammit”
Your trying to send Trump to jail – and he is having fun.
Your trying to kill him – and he is having fun.
And so are Trump supporters.
And they are going to win – and then have so much MORE fun throwing you out on your ass.
This election is serious – and republicans know it.
They KNOW that a Harris victory will be bad for the country – even Turley realizes that Democrats are a far worse threat than Trump.
But Trump supporters are not tied up in anxious knots, or beaten down with depression.
In the unlikely event Harris wins – the country will suffer, but we will all get by, and 2026 will come and 2028 will come.
Trump will be gone, but someone will replace him – If only Musk could be president.
The cost of Harris winning will be high, but it will just increase the odds of a landslide against the left in the future.
Only a complete moron thinks that 4 years of Harris would be better than 4 years of Biden.
And the failures of the left are the gift that keeps on giving for republicans.
You rant that if Trump wins he will go after his enemies – while he has said he will not – who would care ?
If Trump actually went after his political enemies – what would be different from Obama, Biden, Harris ?
Republicans – and not just republican politicians – ordinary people – catholics, prolifers, parents, libertarians, all KNOW that given a chance – the left will use government power to go after them.
And still they are not anxious, they are not depressed – like you are. They are actually having fun.
“The Michigan Secretary of State is currently investigating that violation of state law.”
LOL. It is the Michigan SoS who needs to be investigated for violating the law and the constitution.
Hey Dennis — be sure to tune in to Trump’s rally this Saturday in Coachella, California! Woo hoo!
Can you say Senator Steve Garvey? Yes!
Hey Dennis – Trump will also do a rally this Friday in Aurora, Colorado.
You know Aurora, right? It’s where the violent Tren de Aragua gangs Kamala imported into the country have taken over. Even Democrats are furious at what is going on in Colorado.
Wake up Dennis. Almost everyone else has by now.
Hey Dennis – Trump is everywhere. On the ground. Giving comfort, moral support, facilitating aid, shining a spotlight where help is needed. Trump started a fundraising campaign for storm victims that has already raised millions. He’s campaigning everywhere, talking to everyone.
Where’s Kamala?
FEMA under Biden-Harris corrupt regime means: Funneling Emergency Money to Aliens
[Americans? You’re on your own. Because we Democrats have made it very clear: we do not care about smelly Walmart people, and you’re all smelly Walmart people to us]
Musk falsely claimed the Dems are going to take away everyone’s First and Second Amendment rights
Dennis, going full Dark McLiar, lying that Harris, Biden, and other Democrats have not sworn that if elected they will confiscate firearms they don’t like through “buybacks” – firearms that the government never sold to their lawful owners.
Migrant = Illegal Alien
Reproductive Health = elective birth control abortion
gun buyback = gun confiscation
Ditto Clinton, Kerry, Harris and their desire to further empower their lying Disinformation Censorship Czar if Harris is eleced
“Think about the contrast from Donald Trump’s solemn and triumphant return to Butler…
and Kamala’s sit-down with X-rated “Call Your Daddy” podcast.
Trump is the candidate of destiny. The rare leader who emerges in a nation’s hour of need.
Kamala is a national embarrassment.” (@StephenM)
Oh, my!
Dennis is in full overdrive panic!
Maybe Denny should apply for some FEMA COVID relief assistance money? I’m sure Harris/Biden/Obama would give him a little stipend to carry on his “rumor” attacks. I wonder why he never brings up Emhoff, Harris’s husband and notorious woman beater and Nanny fugger? If Harris has the poor judgment to pick someone of this caliber for a husband do you suppose she has the mental capacity to run our Nation? I think All will soon be revealed
🚨 BREAKING: Trump will hold a rally in AURORA, COLORADO this Friday at 1PM MT.
“Aurora, Colorado has become a ‘war zone’ due to the influx of violent Venezuelan prison gang members.”
Dennis, it only took you ten words to get to former President Trump. What took so long? 🙂
Plain and simple, Smith knows in today’s world the presumption of innocence no longer exists, especially in social media.
Hillary Clinton recently said on CNN, “We need national action and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children. So you’re absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative, political agenda.”

The children are those of the parents, not the communist (liberal, progressive, socialist, democrat, RINO, AINO) STATE.
If Hillary and anyone else were truly intent on addressing “these threats to our children,” they would permanently close and privatize the vast majority of public schools immediately.
This psychotic megalomaniac Hillary Clinton says that she is worried that “we lose total control,” and total control is what this communist mystic wants.
“Little Miss Prim and Proper” lost control when she wittingly open-married the lascivious Bill “Slick Willy” Clinton and enabled his “pornographic” life—from Jennifer Flowers et al. to Monica Lewinsky—as if she were unaware.
What a joke.
She bore one child for political expediency, rabidly supported baby-killing abortion, and now would have people believe she cares about “THE CHILDREN!”
She’s not dissimilar to Hamas and Hezbollah, which place their headquarters under schools and daycare centers.
What a ridiculous hypocrite.
This crazy paleface woman speaks hysterically and incoherently, and with a forked tongue out of both sides of her big mouth.
Be concerned and say a prayer for the naive dullards who are induced by sophistry to listen, to pay any attention at all to this slavering psycho.
Question for the lawyers among us: Please explain Judge Chutkan’s rationale for publishing this document whose purpose was purportedly to help the Judge decide which of the actions alleged were “done as a President” vs. “done as a private citizen.” What is the public’s role in the judge’s decision-making here?
Elie Koenig’s point that this publishing will taint the jury pool seems especially on target. Not that the jury pool in DC was ever going to be good for Trump.
I will never understand why AG Garland appointed Jack Smith as special prosecutor here, given Smith’s track record of being reversed and called out.
I do not understand why Judge Chutkan published a jumbo-sized document full of unchallenged Grand Jury testimony.
Why is there such an effort not to let the other side put on its case?
As a voter, I want that back and forth. To help me decide. To help me not choose wrong.
I don’t want a cabal choosing for me.
This is not jurisprudence but pure politics and a legal-phantom continuation of the Obama Coup D’etat in America.
The communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs, AINOs) have a juridical stranglehold.
Salvation will be in the appeal if this abject corruption can be stopped.
I will never understand why AG Garland appointed Jack Smith as special prosecutor here, given Smith’s track record of being reversed and called out.
Try this for an explanation:
In 2012 the Obama/Biden DoJ dispatched Jack Smith from their DoJ to take out their most feared potential GOP opponent – Governor Bob McDonnell. Smith reinterpreted the law, judge shopped, bent the law, ignored DoJ regulations on prosecutions, and in some particulars created his own version of the law to indict and then convict McDonnell. At the same time, Smith told the IRS that they could shut down GOP election campaign volunteer groups for “investigation” for the remainder of the election campaign.
After Obama/Biden defeated the much weaker Mitt Romney as the nominee, SCOTUS unanimously threw out Smith’s conviction of McDonnell and in the decision named him a “threat to our separation of powers”. Meanwhile, the GOP groups sued Smith, the IRS, and the DoJ for violating their 1st Amendment rights. Those groups were awarded over $20 million in punitive damages – paid by taxpayers, not by Obama/Biden or their campaign. McDonnell after being acquitted was left saying “where do I go to get my reputation and political career back”.
For their part, Obama and Biden said “Sorry about that, didn’t realize those malicious prosecutions were going on – we extend our sincerest apologies from back here in the White House”.
So, Jack Smith’s partner in these prosecutions and investigations of Obama/Biden’s greatest political threats was a woman named Lisa Monaco. Recognize that name from 2012 if you don’t remember Jack Smith from back then?
One of Biden’s first appointments after taking office was to appoint Jack Smith’s 2012 partner Lisa Monaco to be the Deputy Attorney General under Merrick Garland.
Who do you think selected Jack Smith with his record to investigate and prosecute Trump like Jack Smith investigated and prosecuted Governor McDonnell?
AG Garland?
Or his Deputy AG and Jack Smith’s partner in the McDonnell prosecution 12 years ago – Lisa Monaco?
SCOTUS should have clearly stated that the question of “official act” vs. “private act” be decided at trial by a Jury, not by judges beforehand, or after on appeal. Why?….because under our system of law, juries are the finders-of-fact. Judges manage the process as neutral referees.
John Roberts is an elitist who wants to take important decisions about facts out of the Jury’s hands, and give them to Judges (like himself). Beware this trend.
Turley,
You write: “True to his reputation and record, Smith refused to drop the main allegations against Trump to avoid official decisions or acts that the court found to be protected in Trump v. United States. Instead, he stripped out some prior evidence linked to Trump’s presidency, including witnesses serving in the White House. Yet the same underlying allegations remain. Smith just repeatedly uses references to Trump as acting as “a private citizen.””
This was done, precisely because the Supreme Court requires him to do so. Smith uses the delineation in Blassingame to distinguish between conduct, with which Trump engages as an “office-seeker, not office-holder.” Under that framework, Smith argues, all the conduct described in the superseding indictment and in this filing is not protected—except for “the specific official conduct related to Pence that the Supreme Court held to be official” regarding conversations between Trump and Pence over the latter’s role presiding over the electoral count as president of the Senate, the (at least) presumptive immunity of which Smith sets out to rebut.
He does so, as he hinted in the superseding indictment, by establishing that the official counting of the electoral vote is “a process in which the Executive Branch … plays no direct role,” and which Trump therefore cannot have been acting officially in seeking to influence. “[A]pplying a criminal prohibition to the defendant’s conduct would not pose any danger of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch,” Smith explains, but instead “would advance the Constitution’s structural design to prevent one Branch from usurping or impairing the performance of the constitutional responsibilities of another Branch.” Smith also points to Trump’s pattern of excluding his official White House advisors and relying instead on private or campaign lawyers when seeking to pressure Pence to upend the electoral count, writing at one point: “It is hard to imagine stronger evidence that conduct is private than when the President excludes his White House Counsel and only wishes to have his private counsel present.”
Smith relies on this same pair of arguments—the president has no official role in the process of ascertaining and counting electors, and Trump repeatedly turned to private rather than official lawyers and staffers to help him meddle with the count—in arguing that Trump’s pressuring of state officials and involvement in the fake electors scheme were unofficial. (Here, he also draws on Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s concurring opinion in the immunity case, in which Barrett took the view that the president “has no legal authority—and thus no official capacity—to influence how the States appoint their electors.”) He notes that, of the state officials Trump contacted, “all … were the defendant’s fellow Republicans; he made no efforts to contact the equivalent individuals holding the same offices in Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, all of whom were Democrats.” That strongly suggests this was a matter of Republican Party interests, not official responsibilities. Smith also points to Mark Meadows’s two failed efforts to remove state criminal cases against him in Georgia and Arizona to federal court, noting that federal judges determined Meadow’s conduct in facilitating these efforts to be in service of Trump’s private interests rather than those of the office of the presidency.
Instead of actually breaking down the legal argument, you dismiss it with zero rationale as to why.
In reality, the Supreme Court is requiring Smith to go through this evidentiary exercise. If you didn’t want this aired out, your issue should be been with SCOTUS, not Smith.
Instead of actually breaking down the legal argument, you dismiss it with zero rationale as to why. In reality, the Supreme Court is requiring Smith to go through this evidentiary exercise.
Is that you Jack Smith, here in hopes of providing yourself with justification?
Seems likely: more than one former federal prosecutor and constitutional lawyer have said that what Jack Smith (and his sidekick judge) is doing here – yet again – is pretty much the opposite of what an ethical prosecutor is expected to do.
The election of the president is a FEDERAL election.
The constitution has numerous provisions regarding FEDERAL elections.
Congress has passed FEDERAL election laws.
The Supreme court has ruled on FEDERAL election laws.
The implementation of all FEDERAL laws is by the executive branch.
The implementation of all FEDERAL court decisions is by the executive branch.
Article II of the constitution starts with ALL executive power in the United States is vested in the PRESIDENT.
Contra you and Jack Smith – absolutely FEDERAL elections are the business of the president.
You idiots on the left keep spray idiotic word game argumnets – like “Fake Electors” – there is no “Fake Elector” scheme.
Trump and many others participated in setting up ALTERNATE electors – something that has occured several times in the past, and which the Federal courts almost a century ago rules was the proper way to challenge the EC count in congress.
Congress is free to accept or reject alternate electors. But alternate slates of electors from states that are contested – and YOU do not get to decide whether a states is contested, the COURTS do not get to decide whether a states is contested – the candidate determines if they are going to contest a state – and they can continue that challenge right into congress.
Congresses power to decide the outcome of an election is NOT ceremonial – the 18 US 1512C prosecutions of the DOJ REQUIRE that the actions of congress are a meaningful proceeding – not a ceremonial act.
When a states slate of electors – and their votes are challenged in congress – congress has 3 choices.
Accept that slate – and their votes,
Reject that slate and accept an alternate slate and their votes if there is one.
Reject the states slate and not counting that states EC votes.
In the event after “counting” the EC votes no candidate has the required majority of EC votes accepted by congress – then the election falls to the congress itself.
That is the constitutional process.
Any candidate that is going to challenge a states electors in Congress, MUST have an alternate slate of electors – unless they just want to kick the election to congress.
If you have the majority of EC votes – you are not likely to challenge anything.
If you do not have a majority – without alternate electors the only think you can do is kick the election to congress.
There is significant historical precident including past elections and federal court decisions on this.
All the so called “fake elector” cases will ultimately be thrown out.
What do you call a legal brief by Jack Smith ?
TP – Toilet Paper.
Few lawyers have been so frequently rebuked by the courts and particularly the Supreme court for wasting their time with specious legal arguments.
The president has an official role in elections – they are FEDERAL elections.
While Smith is correct that Trump is a candidate in those elections, he is also concurrently the president and responsible for All constitutional executive power regarding Federal elections.
The courts have ALREADY ruled that actors – including the president can have both official and personal reasons for their excercise of govenrment power – that two things can both be true.
That when there is a legitimate official reason for an act, that is sufficient for the act to be official.
I would note that Meadows failed efforts were prior to the immunity decision and were wrongly decided.
I would further note that Smith’s prosecution of Trump reinforces the FACT that those cases were wrongly decided.
Smith is a FEDERAL prosecutor. He is Prosecuting Trump in FEDERAL court. That is where FEDERAL election cases belong – especially those involving FEDERAL officials arguably acting in their FEDERAL roles.
What is wrong with Smith’s superseding indictment is that:
The presidential immunity problem was known to smith from the start – and instead of wasting time with a hail mary to the supreme court hoping they would buy a stupid legal argument that the lower court judges that accepted should be disbartred for entertaining. He could have just done it right from the start.
Jack Smith is NOTORIOUS for weaponizing the DOJ for political reasons on ludicrously specious legal grounds.
The purpose for Smith is NOT to do justice by legitimately trying and convicting someone in a way to assure the conviction stands.
But to use the legal process to punish and destroy the person – even though they are highly likely to prevail in the end.
That is immoral and unethical.
The courts are NOT a place for prosecutors to experiment with novel and expansive legal theories creating new crimes.
Those should never have to go to the supreme court – they should be dissmissed by the lowest courts.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse – but the unknowability of the law IS – there is a differences betweent he defendant does not know the law, and the defendant CAN NOT know the law. When prosecutors are creative with criminal law – people CAN NOT know what conduct is criminal and what is not.
When SCOTUS says something is unconstitutionally vague or unconstitutionally overbroad in the criminal context – they are also saying that it was an abuse of power and an instance of the rule of man, not law, and instance in which a person COULD NOT know they were committing a crime until they were investigated, charged and successfully prosecuted.
When the law is found wanting – we can make new laws.
When the law becomes something that is stretched creatively by prosecutors with the blessing of the courts – we are lawless.

Professor Turley neglects to note another featured report in The Hill entitled “Major North Carolina newspaper knocks Trump over Helene response ‘falsehoods’.” The leading N. Carolina newspaper condemned Trump’s raw political calculations for falsely accusing Biden/Harris of spending all of FEMA’s funding on housing for illegal migrants:
“Former President Donald Trump has politicized the situation at every turn, spreading falsehoods and conspiracies that fracture the community instead of bringing it together…There’s no evidence to support any of those ridiculous claims.”
Turley also doesn’t mention Trump & Vance falsely claiming recent ICE statistics showed Biden/Harris let 13,000 illegal immigrant murderers into the country. As Turley undoubtedly knows, here’s what the ICE statistics actually showed: “The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration.”
In other words, illegal immigrant murderers also came into the country during the Trump administration. Oops.
Always look forward to Professor Turley’s unique perspective on raw political calculations & October Surprises.
Isn’t this paper in bankruptcy and on the brink; some local yokel wants to buy it for a fire sale price. Is it yet another communist rag?
So how much does the Harris Biden Administration waste of American taxpayers FEMA money on supporting illegal immigration? Every dime misdirected from their annual deficit budget continues to add to a $35T dollar debt. I noticed you said all, how much of all then? That’s not what Trump said and what he has said is the truth, more wordsmithing by the left. We all know what Harris/Biden/Oblowme have been doing, we’ve all seen caravan after caravan. Some could attest to the criminal component but they are dead, murdered and now have no voice.
Jack Smith and Tanya Chutkan committed a political act.
Jack Smith and Tanya Chutkan did not commit a jurisprudential act.
Their act was one of political prejudice not one of impartial justice.
Both merit impeachment and conviction.
The question does Jack Smith have the authority to pursue President Trump? That’s still in limbo. My question: being as the charges happened during his 1st term wouldn’t he still considered an elected official and be pursued for allegations by The Public Integrity Section of 1976 (PIN) before appointing a Special Counsel?
Just a quick snipped for DOJ Criminal Division “About the Public Integrity Section:”
“The Section investigates and prosecutes alleged misconduct of public officials in all three branches of the federal government, as well as state and local public officials. PIN has exclusive jurisdiction over allegations of criminal misconduct on the part of federal judges and also supervises the nationwide investigation and prosecution of election crimes.”
Jack Smith’s appointment is invalid because the office he holds has not been created by Congress and his appointment violates the “Appointments Clause” of the Constitution
Agreed, but there’s division within the courts.
There is only one applicable law. Your “division” is defined as corruption. Elementary school students can read the clear English language of the law. Courts enjoy no power to modify or amend legislation or the Constitution.
* so snarky. Even elementary school children….?
ANON IS A SNARK
How can a single word cause emotion? By meaning “Division” there are two sperate Judges, from the same altitude, who have ruled differently, and that division between the judges has not been determined yet which one is correct.
Is there division, are there two ways to read a 55 MPH speed limit?
“Attorneys who authorize the investigation and prosecution of federal crimes must be officers of the United States because they wield significant government power. Under the clause, there are just two ways of qualifying as an officer of the United States: the appointee must either be (a) nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, or (b) appointed to a position that “shall be established by law” — which is to say, by a congressional statute.”
“Smith, who has run the Trump investigations since his SC appointment by Garland on November 18, 2022, was not appointed under either of those procedures. To the contrary, he was purportedly appointed under the Justice Department’s SC regulations.”
– Andy McCarthy
Regarding your speed limit example, actually there is. Check out Heien v. North Carolina. SCOTUS held that there is such thing as a reasonable police mistake of law. If the police reasonably think a speed limit is 55MPH, but legally the stretch of road is a 60MPH zone, then the police can still stop you for driving 57MPH.
I believe this example was discussed in dicta (or perhaps in the briefs/argument). But the actual case involved a car being pulled over for having a broken taillight out. The car was then searched pursuant to the stop, and the officer found drugs in the car. However, it turns out the NC law only required drivers to have “a functioning stoplamp.” Thus, even though the police all THOUGHT the law made it illegal to have one taillight out, the reason for the stop was technically invalid. That should have made the evidence of drugs found pursuant to the stop impermissible in court as “fruit of the poisonous tree.”
But, SCOTUS held that police can have a reasonable mistake of law and enforce it, even though “ignorance of the law is no excuse” for the rest of us.
Perhaps not the discussion you were asking for, but your question is not as black-and-white as you intended.
Perfect, you and your clownshow can’t read the 55 in the 55 mph speed limit.
It’s like Lincoln and the Supreme Court couldn’t read that secession was constitutional in 1860.
The “decision” then was that since secession is not prohibited, secession is prohibited.
Corruption requires a gun to the head as was “Crazy Abe’s” MO.

Congress has no power to tax for or fund FEMA.
Congress has no power to regulate so-called “emergencies.”
Congress has the power to suspend habeas corpus during rebellion or invasion, omitting and, thereby, excluding secession.
States are not prohibited by the U.S. Constitution from taxing for and funding emergency agencies.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro wants his luxury jet returned back to him. Nicolas asks for help from Russian nuclear defense force.
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
“We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated. Lawfully slated.”
“And we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.”

GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE 2020 ELECTION
THE SINGULAR AMERICAN FAILURE IS THE JUDICIAL BRANCH, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE SUPREME COURT
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“AG Paxton Sues Battleground States for Unconstitutional Changes to 2020 Election Laws”
“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today filed a lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States Supreme Court. The four states exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election. The battleground states flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots while ignoring statutory requirements as to how they were received, evaluated and counted.”
‘Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election. The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Their failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election. We now ask that the Supreme Court step in to correct this egregious error.’
“Elections for federal office must comport with federal constitutional standards. For presidential elections, each state must appoint its electors to the electoral college in a manner that complies with the Constitution. The Electors Clause requirement that only state legislatures may set the rules governing the appointment of electors and elections and cannot be delegated to local officials. The majority of the rushed decisions, made by local officials, were not approved by the state legislatures, thereby circumventing the Constitution.”
– Attorney General of Texas, December 8, 2020
The court tried to “throw out” Hunter Biden’s crimes too. Will the court prosecute Douglas Emhoff for assault? Did the Supreme Court of 1973 corruptly rule that abortion was a federal constitutional right? Did the Supreme Court of 2010 decide that because Congress could not tax for or fund Obamacare, Obamacare was constitutional? Did the Supreme Court of 1869 decide that secession is prohibited because secession is not prohibited? Oops!
Wrong! Every case was dismissed for lack of standing, no court ever looked into or vetted evidence.
The states, GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN, violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution.
The President alone wields the executive branch power of classification, declassification, disposition, and archiving of materials.
The legislative branch has no legal basis to usurp any aspect, facet or degree of the power of the executive branch.
No legislation usurping the power of the executive branch is constitutional.
No legislation usurping the power of the executive branch to classify, declassify, dispose of, and archive material is constitutional.
President Trump handled classified material no differently than other presidents, one of whom placed it openly in his garage next to his corvette.
Other presidents must have been charged similarly.
They were not.
Are you in special ed or something? Bill Barr answered you already by explaining that it’s not the possession of the documents at issue, it’s the refusal to return them and the lying about what was possessed and where. Did Pence refuse to return docs? Did he lie about them? No. Did Biden? No. Did Trump? Trump lies like an elderly man who swears that aliens ate his neighbor’s dog and says it’s true cuz he saw it on the TV.
It is also the reckless handling of documents.
Biden stole them when he was a Senator with absolutely no authority nor permission to take (steal), or maintain possession of classified information from a SCIF, which he otherwise kept unsecured and open to compromise for decades strewn around his various residences.
If James Comey had indicted Hillary, James Comey would have convicted Obama. James Comey proved that Hillary Clinton mishandled classified material yet refused to prosecute his political ally. James Comey could not prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified material because Hillary Clinton exchanged e-mails with Barack Hussein Obama causing Obama to similarly mishandle classified material using a pseudonymous e-mail account. Oops!
Are you one of Jerry’s Special Kids, just got off the short bus back in the custody of your nanny? Nothing like a Commie Zombie who wants to be believed that he’s accurately paraphrasing what Trump, or Barr – or Bribery Biden – said.
Weird how Biden supposedly gave back docs – including the ones he stole while only a Senator for decades – but the FBI kept finding more, he kept confessing he did indeed have more… and thankfully the FBI was good with Biden (like Clinton before him) repeatedly lying to them he’d given them everything they were looking for.
You’re lyin’ like a Depends wearing Biden.
True, but in Biden’s case it is even more damning in that he had possession of classified SCIF materials from all the way back to when he was a Senator, at which point in time he had no privileged authority to possess, nor any immunity real or implied, for said possession.
Jack Smith doesn’t jack-diddly about the law and he hates it. Such is the nature of deranged, depraved, disgusting, demented, despicable, and degenerate Dunceocrats.
Even fishwings and Dennis Smackintire agree 100%. At least when they’re on sodium pentothal thiopental.
The Trumptards think that by saying Smith’s indictment is frivolous… therefore, voila, it is. Trouble is, you’re just too stupid to actually read the submissions and answer pertinent questions, like, if it’s so frivolous, why did 71 people in the Trump administration testify against him?
Why did Obama conduct a Coup D’etat in America against President Trump initiated by Hillary Clinton’s proven-false Russia, Russia, Russia collusion fraud using many of the same “security” bad actors?
Woke Birthing Boys and Bolshevik Bytches have had Grindr lust for Jack Smith since back in 2012 when Obama and Biden sent him out to prosecute and destroy their political enemies standing in the way of their reelection.
Back then, they didn’t have BBBBBUTTTTT… MUH TRUMP!!!!! as the excuse for their unrequited lust for some mattress time with Jack Smith.
If Jack Smith’s prosecutions aren’t complete frauds replete with coercing false testimony from victims… why did SCOTUS unanimously throw out his convictions and state he was “a threat to our separation of powers”?
