President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Shit sandwiches for everybody!

 

I'm OK with "falsely claims" as opposed to the usual mass media handling of Fatfuck, which is to report his assertions as fact: "Trump reiterates he never demanded Hillary Clinton in prison."

 

SCOTUS if you're listening....

Trump Calls On Supreme Court To Intervene After Historic Conviction

 

The case would have to run its course in the NY appellate courts first before SCOTUS would get a crack at it. That could take a couple of years, and by then, maybe the court is packed or Clarence is off the bench one way or another.

Well, them and isolationists who operate like the nuclear weapon and global finance don’t exist.

Trump is Robert McCormick time-traveled 100 years into the future.

 

Anyone think its odd that Trump did an in-person interview with the weekend Fox and Friends? Sure, they'd fawn all over him, but it just looks weak.

 

It looks weak that he's ALWAYS calling publicly on outside forces (first Congress, now SCOTUS) to intervene and rescue him.

 

Well, first was Putin.

 

Yeah, most of them worked for him at one point or another.

 

Former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg got a $2 million severance agreement in January 2023, four months after the New York attorney general sued Trump for financial fraud in his real estate business. The agreement contains a nondisparagement clause and language barring Weisselberg from voluntarily cooperating with investigators.

It came up in Trump’s hush money trial last month when prosecutors told the judge that the severance agreement was one of the reasons they would not call Weisselberg . He was still due several payments.

“The agreement seems to preclude us from talking to him or him talking to us at the risk of losing $750,000 of outstanding severance pay,” one prosecutor said.

In last year’s fraud trial, the judge wrote of the severance agreement, “The Trump Organization keeps Weisselberg on a short leash, and it shows.”

Why did this preclude prosecutors from putting Weisselberg on the witness stand? That's not voluntary, cooperation, is it? And, in regards to the court case, who cares about protecting his severence package, anyway? He was the guy who cooked the books for Convicted Felon!
