The Morning Report — 5/8/24

brokenhymensroth.jpg

Good morning, kids. On a positive note, Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over the Trump documents case has indefinitely suspended the proceedings.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial is indefinitely postponed because of legal issues and deadlines involving the use of classified evidence at trial. The former president had been scheduled to go on trial in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal criminal case against him in two weeks on May 20. . .

. . . “The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and [Classified Information Procedures Act] issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury,” Cannon wrote.

The move threatens to derail the case as it increases the likelihood that it does not go to trial until after the presidential election in November. If Trump were to win, it is widely expected that his Department of Justice will dismiss the case.

As we now know, to no one's surprise, is that the FBI 3AM raid on Mar-a-Lago featured photos released to the Junta propaganda house organs showing "Classified" documents strewn all about Trump's living room – except that the photos were completely staged by the FBI, including prop folders they created with the words "TOP SECRET" rubber stamped a la "Mission: Impossible" all over them. Ham-fisted and amateurish to be sure, yet in terms of satisfying a Trump-deranged audience, it was the moral equivalent of giving a stack of slightly used Beaver Hunt to a horny 13-year-old and telling him to go have a good time.

From the beginning, the whole thing was specious since as president, Trump had the authority to declassify whatever documents he chose and to have them in his possession. The grand total, to the best of my recollection were several boxes which were in his possession at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. In fact, many of the documents may very well have been shipped to him without his knowledge, either of their being in his possession or the nature of their contents. Total Deep State set up. Just like J-6.

This is unlike Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants who took an Ark of the Covenant sized warehouse full of them illegally with malice aforethought during his tenure as Obama's VP (likely even years before as a senator) and kept them in unlocked garages and university offices for the purpose of selling whatever they contained to the highest bidder. But Biden remains uncharged as the spin-meisters do their dervish routine to assure us it's a nothing burger and/or totally kosher. Thank you Robert Hur.

As for Aileen Cannon, the usual gang of deviants, gibbering hacks and fools are having shit-fits. The facts be damned. She's a Trump appointee and therefore this is a travesty of justice. It'd be laughable were it not for the hypocrisy of everyone from Jack Smith, to Bragg, to Willis, to Merchan to Engoron/Gorgon/Enron/Erdogon and virtually the entire criminal justice scam of a system being used to crush Donald Trump and everyone who supports him.

There is still another Jack Smith show trial regarding J-6 along with Fani Willis' peep show of "2020 election interference," the Alvin Bragg 34 counts of the same non-crime of not inflating the value of his properties all masquerading as equal justice under the law. Let me pause and apologize in advance for perhaps confusing some of the players and what each charge may or may not be that they are involved with. It's such a massive blizzard of utter kangaroo court, banana republic bullshit that it's all too easy to lose track of who's doing what to Trump and all of us with what at what time and in what court.

The Hyman Roth, or in this case the broken hymen of wroth cherry on top of it all is the truly pornographic display of this Stormy Daniels travesty (the E. Jean Carrol rape fantasist fake "libel" suit notwithstanding). Legal eagle Jonathan Turley describes it perfectly:

The value of the testimony was entirely sensational and gratuitous, yet Merchan was fine with humiliating Trump. Daniels’ testimony was a dumpster fire in the courtroom.

The most maddening moment for the defense came at the lunch break when Merchan stated, “I agree that it would have been better if some of these things had been left unsaid.” He then denied a motion for a mistrial basis on the testimony and blamed the defense for not objecting more.

That, of course, ignores the standing objection of the defense to Daniels even appearing, and specific objections to the broad scope allowed by the court. This is precisely what the defense said would happen when the prosecutors only agreed to avoid “genitalia.”

. . . There was no reason for Daniels to appear at all in the trial. Even if he was adamant in allowing her, Merchan could have imposed a much more limited scope for her testimony. He could also have enforced the limits that he did place on the testimony when it was being ignored by both the prosecutors and the witness.

Merchan said that he is considering a limiting instruction for the jury to ignore aspects of the testimony. But that is little comfort for the defendant. The court was told that this would happen, it happened, and now the court wants to ask the jury to pretend that it did not happen. Merchan knows that there is no way for the jury to unhear the testimony. More importantly, the prosecution knew that from the outset. . .

. . . It is not the witness, but the case that seems increasingly obscene. You have a judge who should have recused himself given his daughter’s major role as a Democratic activist and fundraiser. You have a gag order that is allowing a New York Supreme Court justice to regulate what the leading candidate for the presidency may say in an election on the weaponization of the legal system. You have a lead prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, who not only left the Biden Justice Department to revive this case, but once worked for the Democratic National Committee. 

You have a case based on two dead misdemeanors shocked back into life by a still mysterious theory of an undefined crime. In comparison, Daniels may be the only authentic part of the entire case in New York v. Trump.

Even more of a joke than the media whore propagandists hyperventilating over Aileen Cannon is the fact that they are fearful Sloppy Daniels' testimony might actually cause Bragg to lose the case. As if!

A rigged judge, prosecutor and a jury pool in a city and state that went something like well over 80% for Biden in 2020 (election shenanigans notwithstanding). Even with all that going for them, there is no way that that jury isn't fixed and the verdict already in. And should there somehow be at least one juror who might actually go rogue, they'll be doxxed and find their homes and their family members on fire by the time they are released.

Of course, with the nation, the economy, the border, out of control crime, exploding Jew-hate on and off campus and the world going up in flames already, every time the name Trump is even mentioned in the media now serves as a sort of in-kind donation to his campaign. And if Merchan actually locks him up? Wow.

It is a sad state of affairs that we are forced to see things as they are, and not as we wish them to be. But it is what it is. With everything so abjectly corrupt, and the will to power that has strangled even the tiniest sliver of an iota of morality and ethics that might have still existed of those in power to stifle their own political desires in favor of fairness, decency and the preservation of even the slimmest veneer of the civil society that yet exists, what chance do "the better angels of our nature" have in pulling us back from the brink?

Has the Supreme Court noticed that we’ve crossed a legal Rubicon?  The Constitution — that thing the Court is supposed to defend — is becoming less relevant by the day because the left has decided that our mutual pact of self-governance doesn’t apply to leftists.  They have weaponized our government against us — using it to surveil, silence, harass, and steal from us.  Our own government is even arguing that the Constitution should not be a constraint on its operations — which is precisely what its purpose is.

Are the Supreme Court Justices beginning to realize that we are in crisis?  Two recent cases indicate that they are awakening to that reality.

In Fischer v. United States, the court is considering the validity of using a financial statute to charge January 6 trespassers with obstruction of an official proceeding.  During questioning, Justice Gorsuch asked, “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?”  He was referring to Democrat Jamaal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm to prevent a congressional vote yet was not charged with “obstructing an official proceeding.”  That was Gorsuch’s way of asking if something other than party affiliation determines who will face the greater jeopardy of obstruction charges.  It was a sarcastic illustration of the decidedly unequal system of justice the DoJ is currently practicing.

In Trump v. United States, the Court is considering whether Donald Trump has immunity for actions taken while he was president.  The DoJ argued that the motive for presidential actions should determine whether immunity applies and that the discretion and good motivations of DoJ attorneys should be trusted to make that determination (try not to laugh).  Justice Alito questioned the wisdom of that argument, asking if the DoJ should be trusted, “given its history of abusive partisan prosecution.”  That is about as close as a Supreme Court justice will ever come to telling a government solicitor general that the latter has squandered his last ounce of credibility.
It appears that the Supreme Court justices are becoming aware that our justice system is now a tangle of broken constitutional promises and inconsistent legal decisions.  But do they realize that they helped create this mess?

. . . The Supreme Court needs to make radical course corrections now, because it failed to make minor adjustments when it would have mattered.

The Court’s desire to exercise restraint is an admirable judicial philosophy — in a well functioning republic.  When a car is running well, minor maintenance is the only appropriate action.  But when the car is on fire, it doesn’t need an oil change.  It needs emergency action.

Do the Supremes realize that the leftists have set our republic on fire?  The Court needs to stop looking for excuses for restraint and start looking for opportunities to stop the advance of tyranny.  This is the time for bold action — or after November there may be nothing left to defend but ashes.  They need to consider that as they deliberate on the cases before them.

It's a very well-written and thoughtful essay. Except I would ask the author, even if please God SCOTUS makes the right decisions in these cases, what will it matter in the end? They already slapped down Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants student loan multi billion dollar bribe as unconstitutional and what did he do? Ignore it and issue another one!

To paraphrase Democrat hero Joseph Stalin, "How many divisions does the Supreme Court have?"

24 I think the most relevant question to put to SCOTUS is; "do they realize they're no longer relevant to the left?"

31 Quite frankly, I’m getting sick of all the “independent” and “conservative” legal analysts (Jonathan Turley, Greg Jarrett, Andrew McCarthy) giving me all the legal minutiae as to why the Bragg case is “falling apart” etc etc….. they miss the point entirely. Haven’t they noticed that Trump is post-law / below the law?? Bragg, Merchan, Jack Smith, Fani and many others are playing “destroy Trump” with no regard for the law. It’s almost insulting to hear the legal analysis because it presumes that the law and constitution actually have some influence on this whole charade. These are Stalin-like show trials and nothing else. Truth matters not a wit…. Trump being found guilty hangs by a thread of 12 jurors (not his peers) drawn from a pool that generally hates Trump. It’ll be a miracle if the jury hangs… a bigger miracle if they acquit

I've often spoke of this. It's living in denial about the reality of the situation, still clinging to the hope that our nation will operate as it always seemingly had, or that it still exists in a way that we had imagined or deluded ourselves that it had.

To finally realize that it's gone is a shattering experience.

45 The Many Trials of Donald Trump is actually one of the few stories that I kind of like right now. Not because it's happening, that sucks. And we don't know how it will end, but I expect he'll be convicted in at least one, if not all of them, which also sucks.

I like it because of the public reaction. Until about eight years ago, this gambit would have worked on anyone that ran it against, no question. Nobody can keep track of all these legal machinations. Millions of people would just say "well, with this much smoke, there's got to be a fire in there somewhere," and presto - the target would be convicted in the court of public opinion.

But now, in 2024 America, Trump gets *more* popular with every new charge and every breathless news article about them. To me, this indicates that probably an outright majority of Americans have figured out that law enforcement, the courts, and the media are all criminals framing the regime's political opponents. There has been a critical loss of confidence in the institutions, and that's priceless.

Oh, but she's gonna have some interesting hearings that will kill the Dems (from NYT) "Judge Cannon also scheduled a separate but potentially explosive hearing in late May to consider arguments about whether Mr. Smith had launched what is known as a “selective and vindictive prosecution” against Mr. Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta.The hearing is likely to include Mr. Trump’s own claims of selective prosecution because Mr. Nauta, one of his personal aides, included them in his own filing."

1/2 This is how civilization ends.

"Due to the dwindling supply of quality machine shops and very poor quality aftermarket parts as well as a lack of people interested in learning the engine building and machine shop trades, I regret to inform our many followers and current as well as past customers that we will no longer be taking on any new engine build orders unless it is for a car we are restoring. Since Covid, we have had to do rework on multiple engine builds due to poorly manufactured parts that failed during break in or machine work that was below our standards due to all the old farts like me dying off with no younger workers interested in taking their place. For example, rod bearings are now made too thin resulting in 390 and 401 crank grinds needing to be ground .0085, .0185 or .0285 under standard rod journal size yet all but one machine shop in the entire Phoenix area refused to do anything other than the standard .010, .020 or .030 grinds. Even worse...

Yes, Sir… it is. And the maniacs doing this are playing with fire; it’s a dangerous game. They seem to think they can eliminate Trump and then go on as before… but they’re being so blatant they’ve ripped over the curtains and the social order is not as stable as they seem to think it is. We can’t have social order with fair application of the law. Now I’m depressed!

Suppose he's found guilty in at least two cases and sentenced to prison. Which case gets to jail him first and where?

What if every single case turns for the persecution? Say a half dozen or more cases.

I imagine the circus atmosphere that would emerge as judges jockey for superiority amongst themselves to be numero uno.

In practical terms, it's possible. It depends on how you define "lose." If "lose" means "Trump's side wins," then you are absolutely correct. If "lose" instead means, "they fail to convict for any reason, including a hung jury" then you are only very probably correct.

69 Are the Supreme Court Justices beginning to realize that we are in crisis? Two recent cases indicate that they are awakening to that reality.
++++
Based on their behavior in 2020, I have to conclude "no."

Unless one counts all of the powers that SCOTUS has been arrogating to itself for 250+ years, the Court has one job: adjudicating between states. They refused. When the chips were down, SCOTUS for whatever reason - fear, desire, who knows or cares - refused to do its duty. It refused more than once.

The entire country was literally at stake and the Court opted out.

I think he'd very much like to. If he thinks the case is untenable, though, he could be letting stuff through that shouldn't for two practical reasons:
1. He likes it, and it's humiliating for Trump
2. It could hang the jury, which lets him off scott free. He didn't fail, the Jury hung. The state can retry.

134 >>There was no reason for Daniels to appear at all in the trial.


Oh, there absolutely was a reason: to completely undo the NDA Trump negotiated with Daniels.

Trump, during an election, wanted Daniels to not disclose the time spent together. This testimony ensured that the details were not only shared but recorded in open court. This is the extra FU, Trump.

That's the reason -- though, not a legal reason.

Take the case of the mid-level toadie named Kevin Clinesmith. He was mid-sized wheel in that operation. Not a true flunky, but not a power player. The Party decided that he would be the scapegoat.

He got fired, had his license suspended and was given probation. Nothing more. He wasn't even disbarred. And the suspension was lifted almost immediately. I don't know where he is now, but surely he's in some sinecure. And he's protected in other ways.

Go to Wikipedia and search for "Clinesmith." Not the full name, just the surname. See what you see on the page about Kevin Clinesmith. An unlinked reference. The link is red, which in Wikipedia means, "no article exists for this topic." He's been scrubbed. This is how the Party takes care of its own.

And he wasn't even a power player.

It isn't being covered up. It hasn't been for a while. There is too much evidence. The operation was too public and too sloppy and too coordinated, and the finals outcomes were so stupendously unlikely that a cover-up would be pointless.

Key term: "sustainable calm"

Concluding grafs

"...But the most fundamental dispute is whether an agreement would ultimately end the war.

"Negotiators have tried to finesse that with a time-honored diplomatic tactic of employing language that is vague enough to be interpreted by each side as it chooses. Under the agreement, the two sides would use the temporary cease-fire to work out the return of “sustainable calm.” Hamas wants “sustainable calm” to mean a permanent cessation of hostilities, while Israel does not want to make that explicit a commitment.

"U.S. officials are content to leave the definition of “sustainable calm” a little fuzzy, but are banking on the idea that once the guns stop firing for six and then potentially 12 weeks, the momentum for a more lasting peace will be inexorable. That is why they are devoting so much energy to the coming days."

The court might just do something similar in that in the immunity case at Scotus, an amicus brief by former AGs Meese and Mukasey claimed that Smith's appointment by Garland was illegal and therefore anything Smith does as a prosecutor is illegal.

The statute establishing special counsels always had been interpreted by AGs are requiring someone who was appointed by the prezzie and confirmed by the senate. Thus, the procedure was until Jack Smith that the AG appointed someone who was already a federal district attorney to handle additional duties as special prosecutor.

Has to do with major officer of the US doctrine versus minor officers not subject to the appointment and advise/consent clauses of the Constitution.

With whom are the "negotiators" negotiating? Israel has asserted - unless they walked it back - that they had nothing to do with the claimed "cease-fire agreement." Israel was negotiating (insofar as it has anything to negotiate, which it doesn't because Israel's terms are essentially "unconditional surrender") via Egypt.

So who are these "negotiators" representing besides Hamas? There seems to be no relevant counterparty with whom they are negotiating.

202 A funny thing about the 3am FBI Raid photos of documents, those photos themselves were borderline security violations.

I'm only speaking from the workplace training I endure, and I'm not a professional specifically on markings procedures, but what my annual training tells me is that, if I were wandering around the airport, say, with a stack of papers and a TOP SECRET (or even a CONFIDENTIAL, the lowest marking), visible to everyone, I would be in violation of the law.

The cover sheets are to let cleared people know what they're handling so they can handle it / store it properly. If I were out in public, I'd need to have anything I was carrying in AT LEAST an unmarked outer container (folder, bag, whatever) that would not draw attention.

Those pics, while not divulging classified info, made the hair on my arms stand up, because even that pic was PROBABLY supposed to be handled as if it was at thensame level as the cover sheets. And it obviously wasn't.

Why? Because part of security is prevention of forgery, and now everyone foreign and domestic knows how to forge a classified cover sheet.

But hey, the FBI had to save democracy...

This was back in 2008 when he worked for the Bush administration. That's how long they have all know that trying to bring Ukraine into the western alliance and away from Russia would cause war.

258 Trump classified documents trial postponed indefinitely.

Smith may have fucked up with an admission of evidence misshandling in a filing last Friday. He's apparently done it before when he was at the Hague.

"Jack Smith’s team acknowledged mischaracterizing the issue at a recent hearing in the Trump classified documents case, but said the reordering was not significant." It's probably up to the court to decide if significant or not. You know which way Cannon decided.

Why would such a minor concession be relevant to the The People's 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, especially when they deserve a trial under the Espionage Act. It smells like a typical Cannon bias toward looking for further pretext for further trial delay.

Whatever. He is going to lose and eventually spend his remaining miserable years in jail.

Maybe, but if he wins in November this case, and the federal election interference case, will probably go away. If Trump becomes president again, he simply picks up the phone and tells his AG to fire Jack Smith and move to dismiss the indictments in the federal cases.

Cross has already started. Stormy testified late that she hated Trump and defense put forward questioning about how she lost her lawsuits against him and had to pay damages (which have not been paid).

The case is such a shitstorm of constitutional violations, which can firmly be laid at the foot of the supposed poseur of a judge, that it is evident that NY is simply a joke of a jurisdiction and no one with life, liberty, or property can feel confident that these will not be denied by NY courts if politically expedient.

296 Wait...who do they think has the right to a speedy trial?
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Most of them flunked US Govt 1101. Rights are always individual; powers are what government has. The right to a speedy trial is of course only pertaining to the defendant, not government. The risk, of course, is that the defendant may be held longer in custody even if they are innocent of the charges. Delays by the defendant due to pending motions stop the speedy trial clock in the statute (60 days from memory).

FedGov has also trampled on that statute in DC with the Jan 6 cases and as a result has held far too many people longer than they would have served if guilty.

DC is another legal shithole that requires segregation era response by Scotus to simply nullify the lower courts and neuter them. GVR and summary reversal are tools that can rapidly negate injustices at the lower courts. Another tool is actually contempt of court for violating a Supreme Court order. Happened in a lynching case in Chattanooga after a sheriff let a crowd in to take a suspect and lynch them despite a Supreme Court order. Case was heard by Scotus itself via a special master.

359 BREAKING: Today, we sought to intervene in #GainesVNCAA — a bogus lawsuit that's trying to get the NCAA to ban transgender athletes from college athletic participation.

I guess protecting women is not in the National Women's Law Center charter.

No one is trying to "ban transgender athletes from college athletic participation".

(1) "Transgender" athletes do not exist. There are two sexes/genders, male and female.
(2) Any lawsuits are simply pushing to require males to participate in male college athletics and females to participate in female college athletics.

So males who pretend to be "female" can participate in male college athletics and females pretending to be "male" can participate in female college athletics. Very simple. At least it used to be prior to "woke" takeover of culture.

360 anonymous group took responsibility for setting 17 Portland, Ore., police vehicles ablaze.

There are less than 100, probably less than 50, hard core black block clowns responsible for the physical terror operations in Portland, and the cops know who most of them are.
Note that the clowns have restricted their anti-cop actions to objects, because they know that doing serious damage to a cop would produce action against that group, either legally, despite their political protection by the very leftist Portland political establishment, or illegally via South American death squads.

363 "BIDEN’S AMERICA: Major Corporates Using Migrant Child Labor, Paying Small Fines"

FYI - Iowa and Virginia (VOSH) are two of MANY states operating their own occupational safety and health programs. (See Maryland, too: MOSH) Their jurisdiction applies to all private sector workplaces in the state and state and local governments. They are not involved in the OSH of employers, agencies, contractors, sites under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Federal OSHA does, however, provide guidance to State Plan states concerning certain standards, programs.

But, yes, it's B's America. His ilk chase the huge employers that might be hammered into unionization (Amazon, Starbucks...) with bad press and the middle sized employers with citations and penalties until they beg for mercy.

This summer, there'll be swarms of total BS Heat Stress investigations. Something is always needed to entice union support of an administration.

364 Do you think it suspicious when the DEA stacks the cocaine bricks on the dining room table? That's what they do. They photograph the evidence at the scene where they find it and also all together.

It would also make sense for the FBI to put classified documents in "top secret" folders so people know not to look at them. Just like they would put dangerous substances in boxes marked with warnings.

You aren't arguing that the FBI brought classified documents to Mar a Lago. And the presence of a top secret stamp on a folder doesn't render the contents of the folder classified. Trump's documents are either classified or they are not.

And it's not like Trump didn't admit, on tape, that the document he was showing to his friends was still classified. He did. You know it. You've heard the same tape I have.

Why do you carry this schmuck's water? He's ruined your party. You guys have lost law and order, seriousness, and moral superiority to support one doofus' fragile ego. Nice job. He's wrecked your party. Perhaps irretrievably.

365 ". . . just about all of the Gaza Strip’s two million inhabitants have gone through decades of institutionalized cradle-to-grave indoctrination into the ruling Hamas’ upside down 7th century Islamist value system, which features at its core and extremely violent religious ideology."

Add my reasons: UK Guardian, ‘I will not be silenced’: Rashida Tlaib won’t stop fighting for Palestinian rights, 12 Nov. 2023

In part, "Tuesday’s vote, which came days after she avoided an earlier censure motion, was triggered by the presence of a highly charged slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, in a video Tlaib posted on social media last week that also accused Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” and called for an immediate ceasefire amid Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
...

“Rashida is a person on a mission. She is fiercely protective of the people she loves. She will stop at nothing. For her, to support or not to support a cause isn’t a theoretical political question. It’s a question of whether or not her family members deserve to stay alive. It’s the life or death of people she’s directly connected to.”

366 J.J. what about Ace’s and CBD’s beloved plump Meatball Governor??? Come on, promote him. He’s not a RINO. He gives a shit about the average American working stiff. Just like Mike Johnson and Paul Ryan and Mike Pompeo.

You’re on a site run by a bunch of admitted morons.

Congrats???
