The times said in signaling either overt or tacit support, a small vocal band of republicans now serving in the house provided legitimacy and publicity to Extremist Groups and movements as they built toward their role in supporting mr.

This caucus of extremists, which including the qanonsupporting Conspiracy Theory peddling Marjorie Taylor greene, appear to be creating incorrect tension on capitol hill right now, to the point that on
Money. He has a long history of allegedly not paying officials where trump holds he rallies. To quote wall street journal, hes left a trail of unpaid bills in his wake, but theres just some you cant weasel out, at least without posting a massive bond first. Thats a lesson donald trump is learning the hard way, when it comes to the 464 million judgment in the Civil Fraud Case brought by tish james. With a deadline looming, today trumps lawyers said its not going to happen. They claim are Feigneding Insurmount appear difficulties, calling it a, quote, practical impossibility to get a bond for that amount, says trump went to four brokers, and everybody turned him down. Its a scenario new York Attorney general tish james saw coming, and shes absolutely clear on what shes prepared to do if and when trump comes up empty. If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek, you know, a Judgment Enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will have the judge to seize his assets. W
Brought into our system, explicitly by this Maga Movement is of course not accepting the. So trumps first impeachment was about trying to cheat, what he ultimately failed to do. Beat Joe Biden Fair and square. He was abusing, according to all the evidence we heard, he was abusing his power as a commander in chief, and his power in foreign policy, to try to cheat, because he was worried he would lose to joe biden. He had reason to worry that he would lose in a free and Fair Election he did and it predates the primary. Hes so freaked out by biden that well out of the primary is trying to take him out. Thats reasonable one. We know reasonable to was the very Fast Reaction to this horrific instruction which mcconnell in that brief moment, they said this was an insurrection, this was a crime. Mcconnell said the Justice System can hold him into account.

Kind of a preview of how shell run her court and this case. And in deciding whether to grant Special Counsel jack smiths request for protective order limiting what the disgraced expresident can and cannot say publicly about the case, judge chutkan cuts through Talking Points like a hot knife through butter. On the First Amendment protections, they are so fond of citing, mr. Trump, like every american, has a First Amendment right to free speech. But that right is not absolute. Adding that without a protective order, the disclosure of discovery materials could lead to witnesses being harassed or otherwise interfering with a fair trial. What about the fact that trump is running for president. And chutkan did not mince words on that eithe saying, this is a criminal trial and i will not take into consideration the impact will have for have for a political came on either side.
