BE WEERY WEERY AFRAID

It appears that Georgia may be up to the same shenanigans it pulled against Trump in 2020. Remember that Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger the person responsible for voting in Georgia both hate Trump because he called them out for allowing illegal changes to voting laws. In fact Raffensperger is the person responsible for the potential indictment of Trump in Georgia. And he is the person who supposedly debunked the chase everyone out then pull out suitcases full of ballots and count some of them three times by saying basically nothing to see here that’s how we do it. And as I recall it’s the state where in one county they put 100 Trump ballots through a dominion voting machine and 100 Magoo ballots and the results came out 85 for Trump and 115 for Magoo. They repeated it and got the same results.

Now you may ask what’s this got to do with anything? Well the two articles below came out today and present a scary scenario. In the first, after keeping it covered up since 2021 a report was released that proves the Dominion machines can alter votes. Too bad it wasn’t released before Fox settled with them. Tucker might still be on every night

The second explains that even though they know these machines are vulnerable, Raffensperger doesn’t plan to upload the fixes until after the 2024 elections. Gee why would you want to leave the vulnerabilities uncorrected? I’ll let you connect the dots.

A COUPLE OF THINGS

A couple of articles today. The first deals with the bogus presentation of the boxes at MAL. When the pictures first came out of all the boxes all over the place, I admit I was a little shocked but should have realized it was a staged presentation to inflame everyone. But just like the pictures right after the raid where they spread supposedly classified documents all over the floor, these photos are deceptive by design. Read the article.

The second I would expect some of you have read. It’s by Greg Jarrett and is by far the most comprehensive take down of the indictment and will I’m sure make you feel much better about Trump’s position. Remember as I have been saying the indictment is basically Smith’s fantasy.

Trump’s indictment is not the slam dunk case liberal media believes it is

ICYMI

Alvin Bragg announced today that he is putting off his prosecution of Trump until after the federal case is resolved. This is just more of his cya nonsense. He knows he has no case and now he can continue to bask in the glory of being the first person to indict Trump without ever having to prove it.

MORE ON THE INDICTMENTS

Today I came across the article below written by the attorney who lost the sock drawer case and he explains everything succinctly and clearly and shows that Trump was treated entirely differently.

The other thing I saw today is that the grand jury was never told about the Presidential Records Act or about the sock drawer case which just goes to my earlier rant about being able to indict a ham sandwich. The only thing that they heard was what Smith wanted them to. Nothing from the Trump team. So wait until they get their shot before drawing any conclusions.

ANOTHER RANDOM THOUGHT

I’m sure you all saw that there are apparently audiotapes of Magoo and the bribery scheme and apparently the FBI had the information and buried it to cover for Magoo. And I expect you saw yesterday that since Magoo broke the seal, on his first day Trump would direct his AG to prosecute the Magoo mafia.

Now here’s where those two things crossed my wires. Don’t just go after Magoo. Go after Wray and any other players who covered it up as co-conspirators or for aiding and abetting a crime. That would send a much needed message that you aren’t immune if you use your position to aid criminal activity!

BTW

If you don’t know why not having the supposedly bombshell will implode their case, remember the movie Presumed Innocent starring Harrison Ford. I read the book by Scott Turow when it came out and have seen the movie many times. But the important point for this rant is that the entire case crashed when the prosecution couldn’t produce the glass having supposedly incriminating fingerprints.

MORE ON THE INDICTMENTS

First I saw today that Trump actually signed an order to declassify all the Hurricane Crossfire documents the day before he left office. It’s covered in the link below which has a link to the actual document.

And something I heard today on Hannity that I had not heard before was the interesting fact that the supposedly smoking gun audiotape is talking about a document that the prosecutor doesn’t have, so that pretty much makes the bombshell is a sparkler.

FOLLOW ON

It just occurred to me to ask on what basis did Trump’s security clearance end when his term ended. I don’t even think the president has a security clearance. He has the power to grant them but I don’t think anyone grants him one. So who can terminate his authority to review documents created during his presidency? Maybe Magoo but he certainly didn’t do that at noon on 1/20/21.

I think that Trump’s team should question Smith’s assumption. I personally think that a president should have access to any material created during their time in office. This of course would destroy Smith’s case as it should. You need to remember that prior to what I consider the unconstitutional PRA, presidents had unfettered ability to take whatever they wanted from their time in office.

Please make Smith explain the statutory basis for his declaration!

18 US CODE §793 (e)

The above is the statute used to indict Trump. It is not what I was referring to on Friday because I didn’t know it existed. I was familiar with provisions dealing with classified information and in fact I got out my copy the federal criminal code and rules of criminal procedure and basically everything to do with federal crimes. A new version is printed every year and I got mine and it only went up to section d. So I figured e-h must have amended after my time. The version I have is from 2004. The last year I was in the government. So I figured it must be later than that but in fact it was apparently added in 1995 or 1996, so I don’t know why it wasn’t in my version. I didn’t spend the time to figure out what happened, but the exact text of section e follows. Read it and then I’ll comment on what’s going on.

Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it; or

All right, notice that this section doesn’t mention classified information! Smith didn’t want to get into a contest over a president’s ability to declassify anything and everything without going through any process. No one can put a process on the president’s constitutional powers All classification authority comes from him and so does all declassification authority. Smith steered clear of that controversy.

If you bothered to read the indictment, which I did, you will know that it doesn’t mention the Presidential Records Act which is the non criminal law at bottom of this whole controversy. And as has been mentioned in this space previously, the act has potential constitutional problems but remember in the Bill Clinton audio tapes in his sock drawer case it decided that anything a President determined was personal papers was outside the statute. So whatever Trump said was personal was personal.

As an aside, the indictment says that on January 20, 2021 at noon Trump ceased to be president and his security clearance and need to know were terminated. Now Smith put this in so he could claim that Trump had no right to possess any of the documents involved. An interesting point that will be litigated but harkens back to my point a little while ago. If the president’s ability to read classified information ceases when he leaves office, why do all the ‘intelligence’ officials keep theirs? If Trump gets back in, terminate their clearances immediately and issue your own EO on classification and straighten out a bunch of the bs.
