Testimony in a #Michigan court Fri, revealed both #state & #federal investigators continue to probe certificates that falsely claimed #Trump won the #2020election, 5 months before the next election.
On day 4 of prelim examinations for 6 #Republicans who signed the false certificate in MI, MSP Capt Darren Green, said he was interviewed Thurs by the #FBI & 2 US prosecutors from DC.
The FBI advises AdBlocker because of attack vector from cybercriminals and that will mean quite a bit. I advise you to be careful which one you use, because some are also malware and I recommend @ublockorigin.
On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.
#HunterBiden had reportedly dropped off the MacBookPro at a computer repair shop in 2019 & never reclaimed it.
The shop owner [for some reason] contacted #Republicanlawmakers & #politicians to review the hundreds of thousands of emails & msgs in the laptop.
An #FBI agent testified that investigators obtained a #warrant to search the laptop’s msgs & “found evidence of addiction.” duh, he’s been VERY open about his struggles w/ [#addiction]
Prosecutors claimed they were attempting to corroborate the battles of #addiction that #HunterBiden described in his memoir w/real-time msgs in his hard drive & iCloud.
#FBI agent Erika Jensen testified that Hunter’s cloud data & laptop held msgs from 2018 which showed drug habits, using codes like “baby powder” & “chore boy” for crack cocaine.
A series of WhatsApp msgs recovered from Biden’s iCloud account were shown to the jury, & appear to show Biden arranging deliveries of drugs.
The #FBI agent said they were able to confirm that the laptop taken from the repair shop was #HunterBiden’s partly from his iCloud data, which contained an invoice from the shop [wait - an invoice for the repair was on the laptop before the work was done? Remember, he never picked it up]
In one exchange, #HunterBiden appeared to feel he’d been cheated & sent a picture of white powder on a green-colored bank or credit card. [you know you’re in deep when you photo document your illegal drugs]
Other msgs the #FBI agent said were found on the laptop appeared to show him discussing smoking crack w/a friend in Aug 2018, shortly before he did a 2-wk prgm in #rehab. #law#pillory
“The 34 felony guilty verdicts returned Thursday against Donald Trump spurred a wave of violent rhetoric aimed at the prosecutors who secured his conviction, the judge who oversaw the case and the ordinary jurors who unanimously agreed there was no reasonable doubt that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee falsified business records related to hush money payments to a porn star to benefit his 2016 campaign,” NBC News reports.
#Republicans — 3 who went on to work in the #Trump admin, while the 4th, #Comey, would eventually become one of Trump's chief adversaries. #Pecker, escorted by #Kushner, walked into that #shitshow & was then asked about #KarenMcDougal by the then president-elect.
Pecker testifies that in front of Comey [#WITNESSES!], the head of the #FBI, Trump thanked him for purchasing the stories - & likely committing AT LEAST 1 #CRIME in the process, as Pecker well knew.
2 fmr snr FBI employees have reached a tentative agreement w/the #DOJ to largely settle their consolidated lawsuits alleging that they were illegally targeted for #retribution by the #Trump admin after the #FBI investigated #Russia’s #ElectionInterference in 2016, acc/to a court filing Tues.
In an angry court filing, #Trump’s lawyers pushed back hard against the request by the office of the #SpecialCounsel, #JackSmith, to revise Trump’s conditions of release by forbidding him to make any public comments that might endanger federal agents working on the prosecution.
On Fri, Smith’s team requested …a limited #GagOrder on #Trump, prompted by what it called “grossly misleading” social media posts Trump made last wk falsely claiming that the #FBI had been authorized to kill him when agents searched #MarALago….
Trump’s stmnts were based on a recently unsealed order for the search that contained boilerplate language spelling out that the use of deadly force could be used only in case of emergency, a standard provision applied to all FBI searches.
