House Learns of Bank Account Used to Funnel Money to Joe Biden
"In one of the interviews -- that we haven't, I don't believe, disclosed the transcript yet -- the witness made reference to an account we didn't know about. We're researching that account," Comer said in an interview on "Just the News, No Noise." "They also said that that account could have possibly been paid with some infusion from the grandchildren." Comer pointed out that, if true, it would be highly usual. "Now, I don't know about you. But I don't know anyone in the world whose grandchildren have ever deposited money into a savings account for their elderly grandfather," Comer said. "But now, maybe I'm wrong. But that's something we're certainly looking into." Comer wouldn't disclose the identity of the informant supplying his committee with these juicy new details. However, a reliable congressional source collaborating with Democrats revealed that the information came from a longtime business associate of Hunter Biden who also occasionally accessed Joe Biden's financial accounts.
I can't think of the name, but doesn't that describe, exactly, the financial advisor (or was he an accountant?) who would service both Joe an Hunter Biden...? I know he's talked to Congress. Not Devon Archer, not Rob Walker...
Just the News just published a long recap of all the Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign "business" associates that we know that Joe Biden met with. Let's see how CNN is covering this story: Former Biden family business associate recycles unproven allegations to House panels Ah. Of course. Carry on as usual. I can't wait until all of you are on welfare.

willowed: The Deep State is already preparing for Hurricane Trump.
The AP reported the "Office of Personnel Management, the federal government's chief human resources agency, will finalize a rule by April against reclassifying tens of thousands of workers so they can be more easily fired, according to OPM spokesperson Viet Tran." A Biden campaign spokesperson said Trump was "already telegraphing plays straight out of the authoritarian playbook -- gutting the civil service of people he deems disloyal and plotting revenge on his political enemies."

It's funny watching "socialists" take the side of a big bank and are upset they didn't charge a higher interest rate. That's what this case was about.
Some bitch DA trying to make a name for herself thinks a loan Trump took (that he paid back) paid too little interest. And so she is trying to sue (with huge penalties) and have the state take that money. The bank even conceded they will often just take a 50% "bullshit margin" on a clients stated assets. It's up to them to do the due diligence.

There's no way the Trump case stands up on appeal. The judge pronounced him guilty before there was any evidence. Worse, the evidence was he wasn't guilty. But guilty anyway. True clown world stuff.

Trump fined more than $350 million in New York business fraud case

I find it intriguing that on the same day a democrat judge uses ludicrously low property valuations in a case where the defendant was not allowed to present a case, and finds him guilty of breaking a law that was specifically written ex post facto to charge him, we discover a bank account used to hide bribes that Biden received, and the DOJ is doing everything in their power to stop prosecution.

Rising demand for beauty products driving donkeys towards extinction. About six million donkeys are slaughtered every year for their skins, from which collagen is extracted for use in food or drink supplements and in beauty products such as face creams used in Chinese medicine, which are marketed as luxury products.
China’s donkey population has been hit hard by the surge in popularity of such products, with populations there collapsing by 76 per cent between 1992 and 2019, according to The Donkey Sanctuary.
Dealers are now focused on Africa, which has long had the world’s highest donkey numbers, but where the species is facing a crisis, experts warn. Traders either persuade impoverished owners to sell their donkeys – or steal them in illegal bush slaughter.
Yesterday, it was Chinese donkeys. Today, it's African donkeys. Where were you when you had the chance to stop it before it came here?!?! It's like January 6th all over again!!!

True enough. But your kids are more likely to pay that, and *they* would be the ones asking *their* kids for help if needed.
I am sure this kind of thing does happen, but I doubt it happens through cash transfers into bank accounts owned by the grandparents. It's much more likely in a case like that it would aggregate with one of the grandkids, or one of the kids, and then be paid directly to the home.
Not to mention that, rare as *this* scenario probably is, it doesn't apply to Biden.

True enough. But your kids are more likely to pay that, and *they* would be the ones asking *their* kids for help if needed.

I bet 20% or so of media individuals already collect some form of welfare, and I don't mean SS or the like.
The GOPe says that the swarm of invaders we brought in have "allowed" low skill workers to move to "better" jobs as they can't compete with the salaries of the invaders.
Well, I know some of these people. Most of them ended up on SSDI or other forms of welfare...
So...yeah thanks GOPe. I get to pay five cents less for a head of lettuce, pay double the taxes, and have to watch people I know descend into drugs and apathy.

The idea is to grind Trump down into very fine talcum powder. Charge him with a variety of bogus crimes through the DOJ or various DAs. Keep them piled on and back-to-back. Fine him outrageous sums. The press is only to happy to report the latest "Trump indictment". Their hope is to keep him so rattled, but better yet, outraged, so he will snap. Maybe have a heart attack. That's the plan.

I'm going to post this again in case some missed it but you really should take an hour and listen to this video. It goes a very long way toward explaining everything we have lived through since Trump was elected including what is going on in Ukraine, NATO, Russia and particularly our elections.
Every national security tool that was developed for regime change in foreign countries with the addition of new censorship tools has been deployed against us here is the US. The scale is mindboggling but it will help make sense of exactly what has been going on.
It's an hour long so be prepared to spend some time but once you start listening it is like a spy thriller you are living in. Definitely worth your time if you want to know where we are.

99 The verdict that came down in Trump's case will cause every business to think twice about doing business in NY. No one one was defrauded, everyone was paid , but the government decided it was the wrong way to do things. Bye bye NY as a business center.

Nah. Trump was fine until he stopped playing the game with the Dems and morphed into the supervillain Orange Man Bad. We know how to scratch the Dems' back, and they scratch ours.

Trump has applied for tens of thousands of loans over the years, and this bizarre judgement could be repeated for every single one of them. In every case, Trump represented a value of the subject real estate and the expert Judge would, no doubt, disagree.
Presto! More $350 million fines, ad infinitum.

And best of all, the judge can declare him guilty before each trial begins, and refuse to allow him to present a defense.

NYT's shit spin...
A New York judge on Friday handed Donald J. Trump a crushing defeat in his civil fraud case, finding the former president liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordering him to pay a penalty of more than $350 million that could wipe out his entire stockpile of cash.
The decision by Justice Arthur F. Engoron caps a chaotic, yearslong case in which New York’s attorney general put Mr. Trump’s fantastical claims of wealth on trial. With no jury, the power was in Justice Engoron’s hands alone, and he came down hard: The judge delivered a sweeping array of punishments that threatens the former president’s business empire as he simultaneously contends with four criminal prosecutions and seeks to regain the White House.

I think where NY changed their laws was regarding statutes of limitations. I didn't know they also changed their banking laws specifically to get Trump?
How does any NY bank operate if the state can swoop in and say they were undercharged and collect the difference? Clients will go out of their way to not get shaken down.

He can't stop because they won't ever stop trying to persecute him. Taking the offense to literally neuter the Deep State and Democrat hierarchy is the only way to live. To do that, he also has to destroy the existing Senate GOP hierarchy.
That is about the only way for him and his family to survive. They are literally forcing Trump to cross the Rubicon to protect himself and his family.
The Roman Senate did the same stupid thing to Julius Caesar way back when. Charles II did the same thing to Parliamentary leaders opposing him. Tyrants always pull that stunt for some reason. They build the scaffold used to hang themselves and force someone via desperation to hang them or be destroyed.

Someone with common sense in a responsible position will stop this weaponized attack on the real estate business. Trump will win this in the end, but only after spending tens of millions of dollars.

The part where American employees demanded their employers experiment with how create remote-work jobs that could be easily moved overseas to places where people earn $2/day and then the Americans celebrated that they had just helped coordinate the end to their futures was an incredible thing to watch.

And THAT'S the kicker...federal crimes (as of now) would almost all be tried in DC. First thing a R president should do is change that policy.
Either saying that federal DC courts will petition the whole US for juries and pay their travel and stay costs...or to have the rotating federal court system for DC cases.

That is a very solid idea Nova Local. They do the FISA court that way with a rotating list of judges.
I also think that requiring three judge panels for trial courts would eliminate most of the ridiculous rulings and the sue and settle with leftist groups.
Humble the asshole district court judges as well if they are in a panel with two others.

>>Im not sure I’d want to take that bet if I was a real estate guy. Having the sword of Damocles constantly over me knowing I have no legal protection except what I’m able to pay for, especially when there are other states far more tax friendly and favorable to business too, I can’t see why I would ever set foot in NY
That would be true if this had anything to do with state law. It doesn't. This is all a part of the federal governments unrelenting attack on Trump. Not because they hate him personally, because what he represents.
Trump's foreign policy and his America First platform are a mortal threat to decades of a bi-partisan worldview that has spawned the most sophisticated and powerful regime change tools the world has ever seen. For years we ran them against foreign leaders we didn't like and it was supported on both sides of the aisle. Until Trump. And now those tools are pointed at him and us.
If you play nice you won't have any real issues. If you defy the deep state you will be destroyed. They won't allow challenges to their power.

It will not surprise me in the least if this does not end up being the case.
The Party is monomaniacal. The symbol is Trump and they do hate and want him destroyed personally and totally, but they also hate dissidents of all stripes. Any rule that can be used to kick down subversives and rip out their spines is going to remain in place. Nothing else matters. No cost is too high and no consequence is too high if it means destroying their enemies. It is their sole ambition.
It's extremely difficult to break out of monomania, especially institutional monomania.

On Friday afternoon, the justices declined to temporarily block the U.S. Military Academy from considering race in its admissions process. In an unsigned order, the justices turned down a request from the same group that spearheaded challenges to the use of affirmative action in admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, and which now argues that West Point’s use of race violates the Constitution.

Sweetdick's divorce attorney, Bradley, is on the stand today. His significance is Sweetdick is using him to tie up all carp he and Fani were up to behind attorney client privilege.
The State, the people defending Fani, just burned Bradley down by revealing he was accused of a sexual assault of one their employees and left the firm because of that and left $20K in an escrow account.
Previously Bradley testified that he left firm because he wanted to be a sole practitioner which was a flat out lie. Through some further questioning the claimed attorney/client privilege was called into question. Bradley got murdered. I can't figure this one out - Bradley was a stubborn witness that gave up nearly nothing to the defense.
Everyone involved in this matter is rotten to the core.

Paywall on Telegraph article, sorry about that. Here is key -
A state of anarcho-tyranny might, for instance, see career criminals like Jordan McSweeney free to walk the streets of London murdering women, mere days after being released from prison on licence, even while offensive limericks, online poetry and dogs trained to perform comical Nazi salutes are treated with the utmost seriousness by our criminal justice system.
The result is a disorientating combination of two different kinds of fear: a fear of rising violent crime, combined with a fear of arbitrary criminalisation, including the criminalisation of citizens who complain about what is being done to them by their governments.
Systems of anarcho-tyranny rely especially on laws that criminalise speech that would ordinarily be regarded merely as rude or controversial.

292 The State, the people defending Fani, just burned Bradley down by revealing he was accused of a sexual assault
==

Posted by: runner
Bradley had previously disclosed that the affair between wade and fani occurred much earlier in 2019. Fani's reps are trying to destroy the guy's rep before he testifies to that in court.

They don't care one iota.
FJB delivered remarks on the reported death of Aleksey Navalny, probably wore his Ukrainian tie and pin, and flew off to Pittsburgh, PA & then East Palestine, OH to deliver remarks more than a year after its hazardous materials disaster.
The White House Briefing Room dumped a load of Speeches & Remarks from Navalny's death to Equity to Harris' visits with many dignitaries at Munich (BTW Vice President Harris Rejects Isolationism, Authoritarianism, and Recent Attacks on NATO While Making Forceful Case for America’s Continued Global Leadership During Munich Security Conference).
Do they care about the 'prisoners' of January 6th? East Palestine, OH? Nope. But Federal Agency equity plans, yes, and they've been posted too.
They're amused. They're self-righteous. And a bunch have fled, and are fleeing, from Congress, and that's picking up even faster.
We should count how many aren't in on the Money Trains. A much smaller and quicker Congressional count, indeed.

It should be, and probably will be, challenged on exactly that point. At least I hope so but, just passing laws that I view as a bad economic tradeoff doesn't mean that they can't or shouldn't do it. It's the right of the voters to elect representatives that might raise the minimum wage to $50, for instance. It's dumb, but they can do it and I think they should if that's what they want. You either believe in representative government or you don't and part of representative government is allowing the polity to be wrong. Think of it as a cautionary example to the rest of the country.

Previously Bradley testified that he left firm because he wanted to be a sole practitioner which was a flat out lie.
Posted by: lost in space
--------
Bradley had previously stated outside of court that the affair began earlier in 2019 he believed. That is what the in court was about.
Ironically, this is an example where criminal attorneys in a case who are too aggressive can actually piss off a judge in a bench hearing. The judge does not weigh things the same way a jury does.
The issue is whether or not Bradley is credible and generally speaking if this was a jury trial, much of the Fani attorney questioning would probably be ruled out of bounds. So, the question is whether Bradley has animus or motive to lie in pre court statements about the affair beginning earlier. The lying about being fired is permissible game but it would have to be established as a behavioral pattern if outside of court proceedings like a perjury conviction. The collateral smear of an alleged sexual attack was something that in a jury trial would probably not be allowed.

Valid question and I go back and forth on it, and no doubt everyone's first reaction will be "they hate Trump, and they'll never come after me".
But then I remember all the big developers, Richard LeFrak being the latest I recall hearing about, are moving their businesses to Florida.
Once the proposition is established in law, NYS will not be able to resist going after more borrowers. Tax cases will start to use this as a tool. So while everyone may initially say "It's just Trump they want" I think, ultimately, it quickly spreads, and kills NYC financing markets.
Unless stopped.

The courts already take that into account which is the presumption that laws are constitutional and the plaintiff has the burden of proof to prove them unconstitutional.
Other than facial challenges to laws, then there are as applied challenges where an application of the law is used in a novel way to punish an individual but only that individual.
Then there are state constitutions and caselaw that can restrict what a state leg can and cannot do.
Representative government is merely the means in which the people's will is carried out in a republic which means that legislatures have to act within boundaries of law just as do other branches.

As I understand what happened is Bradley got blindsided with the sexual assault by the prosecution. That rattled him and when he responded to a State question about why the firm dissolved he confirmed everything which contradicted his previous testimony that the reason the firm broke up was covered by privilege. And just like that Judge questioned if Bradley understood privilege at all and had used it incorrectly to conceal (lie actually) everything he knew about Sweetdick and Fani and their obvious abuse of the DA office. It was a stunning: in a manner of a couple minutes Bradly got murdered and blew up the whole privilege charade.

He issued statements out of court before the hearing about the affair. That was what the counterproductive overkill was about.
He also though created a problem for the judge as the question of whether client privilege was waived or not does not depend on the GA bar but the courts for definition.
Wade's former partner was threatened before and in court is what this was about and they aimed to kill his credibility and future legal practice.
Stupid really because this is not a jury trial. Judges are allowed all sorts of evidentiary leeway to determine facts in a pretrial hearing that goes to whether Fani has a financial interest in the case or the appearance of it. The actual date doesn't matter but whether it occurred within the confines of the current case.
The judge does not have to go into the swamp of whether Fani is unethical or committed illegal acts simply that she has the appearance of financial interest in the case is enough to disqualify her.
She was already disqualified by another judge from prosecuting the Lt. Gov. of the state.
