TAKE A LOAD OFF FANI

A mixed bag in the case today when the judge decided to try to keep his job by splitting the baby. He’s up for reelection in three weeks and he’s in Fulton County which is heavily far left. (And by far the best thing I’ve heard about it today was from Greg Gutfeld on the Five. He said that it was amazing that Wade had to fall on his sword and quit when she fell on his sword over and over again.)

This is hardly a surprise. Earlier this week he dismissed several of the charges against Trump which I thought signaled some wishy washy opinion was coming. However given the judge’s decision, it could be a victory for Trump. First Fani is seriously compromised in going forward but most importantly Trump’s attorney has said that they will seek an interlocatory appeal. That’s an appeal that stops the case until an appellate court rules and that could take months. Now from what I’ve seen today, for such appeal to occur, the judge would have to agree to allow it. Given the contradictory nature of his opinion and the fact that it would end any further proceedings until after his reelection has been decided. It would also make having a trial before the election almost impossible. And let’s face it , all the Magoo lawfare wants is to get some bogus guilty finding before the election so they can claim that a felon is running against Magoo.

So while it may seem that the judge helped Fani, in reality he probably just torpedoed her bogus case and she and lover boy are being investigated by several bodies.

Keep the load on Fani!

TREATMENT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE CRIMINALS

The video of the attack and beating of a white girl by a much larger black girl is extremely disturbing. The white girl may die. I’m extremely upset that even on Fox no one is pointing out the racial aspect of this. You know that if the white girl was the one attacking and putting the black girl in danger of death we would hear about it continuously. Fox I expect better of you. This should be charged as not only a crime but a hate crime. People it’s time to start pointing out black racism and hatred. Don’t give them a pass because it will only lead to further unconscionable violence.

ROBERT NOT BEN HUR

I had planned to write this this afternoon but then Judge Pirro covered my main observations on the Five. However she didn’t take it to ground so I will.

First let me say that Hur did a good job except for his nonsensical decision not to prosecute. Now keep in mind that under DOJ rules he couldn’t have indicted Magoo while he was in office, much less prosecuted him. However as we have seen with Trump he could have indicted and prosecuted him after he loses in November and I sincerely hope that whoever Trump makes his Attorney General will prosecute Magoo and I don’t give a damn if the Dems go bat shit crazy.

Now I believe that Hur was wrong in the basis of his decision to not prosecute because Magoo is mentally dead and therefore a DC jury would likely acquit him. That’s not his job as a prosecutor. If he has the evidence that a crime was committed then he needs to take it to a grand jury and get an indictment. It’s up to the defense to put forth an affirmative defense that Magoo is non compos mentis. They would either have to put on an expert to say that or put Magoo on the stand to prove it and there is no way any competent defense attorney would ever put Magoo on the stand.

Next I believe that Hur’s talking about his chances in DC is a red herring. Classified documents were found in both Delaware and Pennsylvania. I don’t recall any documents being found in DC. So why is he concerned with a DC jury? And even if there were some, and I don’t recall where the space he shared with the Chinese that had classified documents was located. It might have been in DC. But Hur could bring the case in Delaware or Pennsylvania. In fact he could have brought cases in both covering the illegal documents in each jurisdiction.

Now there has been a lot of nonsense once again about who could do what with respect to classification and declassification authority and I’m amazed that none of these people know what they’re talking about and have obviously never read the controlling Executive Order. I have covered it extensively and will not repeat it here. Go back and read it again if you forget.

Now here is the one point that wasn’t asked of Hur that I wanted to hear. When Magoo 40 years ago knowingly and willingly took classified documents that you weren’t entitled to have and kept them in places that they were not allowed to be, was he mentally competent? Of course he was, although I personally never believed that he was even remotely bright, and that is the issue. You can’t claim years after your crimes that now you’re an idiot and quite frankly I don’t believe that Magoo would ever admit that he’s mentally impaired.

Another thing that came up is the supposed difference between how Trump responded to the investigation and how Magoo did with the bs being that Trump didn’t cooperate and Magoo did. Trump showed the documents to the FBI a month before the raid and told them that they could take whatever they wanted and all they asked was that he put another padlock on the door which he did.

Magoo was not raided and given advanced notice of what and where was going to be searched and according to what I heard today Magoo “discovered “ classified documents a year and a half before he fessed up. Who knows what he destroyed or hid in that period of time. One question I would have loved to be asked is did any of the classified documents found concern Ukraine?

There is a lot more that I could discuss but I think this is enough

RAPE

Now that the left (Stephanopoulos) has decided to slander Trump as a rapist and ask an actual rape victim (Nancy Mace) how she can support him. If you haven’t seen or heard it, look it up and see how she destroyed him. But the point I want to make, and as ranted about before after the trial, Trump was never found guilty of rape and that was in a civil case with preponderance of the evidence is the standard of proof in a civil case. He was never convicted of rape in a criminal case which would have the burden of proof of beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt. The point is that Trump was found guilty in the civil case of the lesser charge of sexual abuse, which if you remember because I talked about it at the time, according to the judge’s instructions could include almost anything, even patting someone on the ass which they later decided was offensive to them.

Whenever they bring this up, the Trump camp needs to ask about Tara Reade who credibly accused Magoo of sexual assault including digital penetration. Turn it back on them and don’t respond to the rape nonsense. Point out that Trump was never found to have raped anyone.

LAKEN RILEY

This is going to be a quickie. Clearly Magoo said Lincoln. Watch it as many times as you like but there is no way that he said Laken. However I would like to make the observation that I can’t tell in the majority cases that the pundits actually say Laken and pronounce it differently from Lincoln. Maybe it’s my old ears but generally they don’t pronounce them differently. Anyone agree with me?

I was going to comment on Adam Schitt trying to get security briefings that Trump will get when he’s the Republican candidate will be dumb down briefings because Trump can’t be trusted with classified information. It’s all over the news today but the one thing that struck me, and I haven’t seen or heard today, is Schitt’s statement that there is one of the candidates who has been shown to mishandle classified information and of course that is Magoo. However he said it’s Trump. Tomorrow the Special Counsel that investigated Magoo’s illegal handling of classified information and there is no doubt that he did so will testify before Congress. Maybe someone will ask that question. On the other hand, Trump has been charged but has legitimate claims that he was entitled under the presidential records act and his authority as president to do what he did, and you know I believe Trump is right.

One interesting thing that has happened in that case is that the judge recently accepted two amicus briefs in the case from conservative sources which is not unusual, but the left is apoplectic because she wrote that they were helpful and that could mean she might toss the case. The hearing on Trump’s motion to have the case dismissed is this Thursday. Let’s hope she does the right thing.

TUSHY TROUBLE

ICYMI it turns out that the entire case in Georgia may have to be thrown out. And I’m ranting about this and not the SOTU because there’s nothing I could say that hasn’t been said ad nauseam. Magoo was on some drugs and as I have said previously, it’s why he’s always late because they’re trying to make sure he got the right dosage. He screamed the whole thing except when he went for his creepy whisper and lied his ass off the whole time. Standard Magoo except for the screaming and speed of his delivery. It’s more obvious than ever that he was drugged because he went out campaigning on Friday and Saturday and was his normal stumbling bumbling self. He couldn’t read the teleprompter or form coherent thoughts.

Now the reason for this rant is that since it involves a legal issue many may not have seen it and/or fully understood it. The issue is that the phone call between Trump and Raffensperger was the basis for Fani’s prosecution of Trump in Georgia. Unfortunately for her, the person who recorded the call was Jordan Fuchs, Raffensperger’s chief of staff. She was in Florida when she recorded it.

Under the US constitution, a person can record a conversation surreptitiously without the other person’s consent because the Supremes decided that when you decided to share the information you basically waived any claim of privacy. So that is the rule in all federal prosecutions. However, in state prosecutions the admissibility of recorded conversations depends on state law. Florida, and I can assure you of this because I went to law school there, and 13 or 14 other states require both parties to the conversation to agree to record it.

Now that is important because the Supremes have held that not only is the recording inadmissible but also any evidence that was discovered because of the recording. It’s called the “fruit of the poisonous tree “ rule and would appear to make Fani’s entire case to be inadmissible since the recording was the basis for everything that followed.

Now this has only come up in the last few days and I don’t know if Trump’s lawyers were aware but I would imagine that they will be raising it shortly. What I don’t know is whether Georgia considers evidence that is inadmissible in the state in which it was gathered to be inadmissible in Georgia when the recording would be admissible if it had been made in Georgia. I’m assuming that Georgia is not a two party consent state or none of this would matter.

Apparently when Fani became aware of the problem, she called her before the grand jury and granted her immunity. I don’t know how she could grant immunity for actions occurring outside her jurisdiction. For example could she grant immunity to anyone who committed murder in Florida? NO!! If there is some strange way she could pull this off, then I would love to see Trump contact the appropriate state attorney in Florida where she illegally recorded the call and make a complaint and get Fuchs indicted and prosecuted. De Santis might be willing to assist and as I have said before it’s time to put the shoe on the other foot.

Anyway I hope that between this and all the perjury and unethical behavior from Fani that the Georgia case disappears.

CAITLIN CLARK

Today Caitlin set the all time record for points in NCAA basketball. She even surpassed Pete Maravich who was amazing. I got to see him live one time at Florida.

She is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the game. I haven’t watched a woman’s basketball game in quite a while but it was thoroughly enjoyable. The whole game was interesting and the play was better than most of the men’s games. Damn those girls threw down a bunch of 3-pointers. More than I have seen in most men’s games. And Caitlin was stellar. She needed 18 points to pass Pistol Pete and she got them in the first half and ended the game with I think 35 points. And I’m sure she will get many more with the games and tournaments left.

I put up the link below because black women can’t stand that a white woman just beat a woman’s record previously held by a black woman. They even lied about it and when exposed they turned to Kendi to claim that blacks can never be racist.

MARK LEVIN

As I have said before, I don’t give anyone a pass. I throughly enjoy Levin and think he is brilliant. However on his show tonight he led off with a segment with statistics about how much crime was occurring in 2017, 2018 and 2019 due to illegal aliens and blamed it on Magoo. Unfortunately Trump was president during that time. Magoo didn’t take over until 2021. I don’t know why he did it. Maybe that’s the latest statistics he could get but I find it unbelievable that he would do something that is so obviously and transparently wrong. I expect better from him

NONSENSE NIKKI

I heard Nikki say today that Trump can’t win the general and the reason she knows this is because he didn’t get more than 40% of the votes in the first couple primaries and people who don’t do that can’t win the general. Do you see how stupid she is? She only got a small fraction of the votes that Trump did. So doesn’t that logically mean she couldn’t win either?
