A case brought by the DOJ was just denied a jury trial because Google cut a check for $2 million dollars.
Business practices that likely impacted business and consumers to the tune of billions in potential damages, a company that generates $60 Billion in revenue on search and ads every fiscal quarter, a judge looked at the DOJ brief and said:

"Yeah. $2 million ought to cover that. No need for a jury trial."

A hearing is set for July 21st for a dismissal.

We can't take our eyes off this target. We need to build more momentum. Our legal system has been too slow to adapt to consumer tech trends, and we need to keep the pressure on if we're to course correct for YEARS of bad policy.

"We have a trio of stories this morning from mainstream news outlets warning of Donald Trump weaponizing the justice system in a second term to go after his perceived political enemies.

The promised retribution of a Trump II reign of revenge is so open, obvious, and direct that you begin to wonder who still needs to heed the warnings."

"The embattled Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is vowing to use the arsenal of tools at his disposal, including defunding, to target the U.S. Dept. of Justice after ex-president Donald Trump was convicted in a New York State prosecution on 34 felony charges last week."

No, they won't, because whatever they do has to also pass the Senate. It won't. This is performative nonsense, and Mikey knows it.

#Cannon was a republican plant after Donald lost the election. Moscow Mitch and felon Donald quickly installed her after he lost the election.

Cannon, who abused her discretion previously in favor of Trump, should recuse herself from the Trump case. If she doesn't, #DoJ should file a motion to recuse. This issue is too important to ignore and hope for the best.

Cannon has been slow walking the case for a year. Although most motions were filed months ago, the judge has yet to rule on them, raising an outcry from critics who assert that she is accommodating the defense in a bid to prevent a trial.

@skykiss @Savvyhomestead It’s bizarre there is no urgency in retrieving all the stolen documents and investigating what was sold. Why the F*CK is Cannon still presiding over this case? Shocking really.

Weidong "Bill" Guan, CFO of far-right Epoch Times, arrested in the US for his part in conspiracy to launder a massive $67 million in fraudulent proceeds.

Curiously, no reports currently on Epoch Times outlets. 😂

"This Epoch Times CFO indictment is wild. Feds say Epoch Times had a "Make Money Online" team that funded a huge part of the Falun Gong-affiliated, MAGA outlet's budget through money laundering fraudulent debit cards."

#EpochTimes #MAGA #FalunGong #MoneyLaundering

THE MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME 8. Beginning in or about early 2020, individuals affiliated with the Media Entities- including members of the MMO Team-began purchasing tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards 3 below cost on a cryptocurrency platform ("Cryptocurrency Platform-1"). The prepaid debit cards were issued by different debit card companies and loaded with U.S. dollars that had been unlawfully obtained through various frauds (i.e., the crime proceeds). For example, certain of the prepaid debit cards were loaded with fraudulently procured unemployment insurance benefits obtained using stolen personal identification information of U.S. residents. The crime proceeds were sold on Cryptocurrency Platform-1 to affiliates of the Media Company's Foreign Office at discounted rates of approximately 70 to 80 cents per dollar and in exchange for cryptocurrency. Once purchased, the crime proceeds were transferred to bank accounts of the Media Entities (the "Media Entities' Bank Accounts"), including through multiple layered transactions designed to conceal the unlawful origins of the funds.
b. In or about January 2021, GUAN expressed gratitude to employees of the Media Company's Foreign Office for the significant increase in revenue in or about 2020. For example, on or about January 7, 2021, GUAN emailed employees of the Media Company's Foreign Office, including members of the MMO Team which was largely responsible for executing the Money Laundering Scheme-for the "team's contribution last year" and for making "a huge profit and donat[ing] all of it to our media group." GUAN wished the team "a better performance" in 2021.

The Biden Administration has weaponized the DOJ so much that jury selection in Hunter Biden's trial starts today & Sen. Bob Menendez is currently on trial and Rep. Henry Cuellar has been indicted.

Wow, they are bad at this.
