#Blanche: “This is the #campaign, this is an #election, this is not a #crime.”

Blanche argued this in his opening statement, when he said “spoiler alert” — campaigns try to #influence elections.

For the Women Who Accused the #Trump Campaign of Harassment, It’s Been More Harassment

Trump is well known for publicly bullying his #political rivals, but the former president’s campaign has also used similar tactics to launch private, relentless attacks against some of its own workers.

A Tues evening fundraising email from ’s campaign &signed in his name arrived w/the subj, "They were authorized to shoot me!" & said of the admin, "You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable ... Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger."

Trump also wrote on TruthSocial:

"Joe Biden's DOJ, in their Illegal & UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE."

#Trump on Tues falsely claimed in a #campaign #fundraising email that President #Biden was “locked & loaded ready to take me out” during a 2022 search of his MarALago estate for #ClassifiedDocuments, an extraordinary distortion of a standard #FBI policy on the use of deadly force during such operations.

Why are we not enforcing the gag order?

Known liar Mike Johnson, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Doug Burgum & Vivek Ramaswamy hang around lower Manhattan to be trumps gag order gangsters.

Gag order prohibits trump from making comments about jurors / witnesses and also from causing others to make comments about the case, jury or court staff.

STEINGLASS: Once AMI purchased stories on a candidate's behalf and in coordination with the campaign, those purchases became unlawful campaign contributions.
I suggest to you that the value of this corrupt bargain at the Trump Tower meeting cannot be overstated. It turned out to be one of the most valuable contributions ever made….
“This scheme, cooked up by these men…could very well be what got President Trump elected…”

STEINGLASS: At that Aug 2015 meeting at TT, the prism you should analyze the evidence in this case: three rich powerful men high up in TT trying to become even more powerful trying to control the flow of information to voters.

The key components of agreement: to accentuate the positive. To promote campaign without endorsing Trump - by colluding with #campaign to manufacture favorable content - outside normal press function. They even gave advance copies. Second, to publish stories attacking the defendant’s political opponents.

The 2016 election was corrupt! He was illegitimate.

Regardless of whether the story was true or not, the #jury was shown a #contract the #NationalEnquirer reached w/ #Dino Sajudin, the #doorman, in which the words "Donald Trump's illegitimate child" feature prominently.

#Steinglass asked Pecker why he paid so much for the story.
“I made the decision to buy the story because of the potential embarrassment it would have to the #campaign & Mr. #Trump," Pecker said.

Alright, who’s ready to see get his just deserts? He fucked up the whole damn world & that’s not an overstatement.

#Colangelo describes “#CatchAndKill scheme, in which #NationalEnquirer bought stories that were problems for #Trump & buried them.
NOT NORMAL #journalism

Colangelo describes some NE headlines that helped Trump's 2016 #campaign, embarrassing campaign opponents incl’g #TedCruz & #MarcoRubio.
Prosecutors are limited to the HEADLINES per #Sandoval. They go to Trump’s #intent: to #influence the election by promoting negative stories about others & suppressing those about himself.

Donald Trump’s new joint #fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his #campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s #legal #bills 🔥before the RNC gets a cut🔥, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press.
The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that 👉Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least💰 $76 million💰 over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases.
Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party.
Trump has invited high-dollar donors to Palm Beach, Florida, for an April 6 fundraiser that comes as his fundraising is well behind President Joe Biden and national Democrats.
The invitation’s fine print says donations to the Trump 47 Committee will first be used to give the maximum amount allowed under federal law to Trump’s campaign.
Anything left over from the donation next goes toward a maximum contribution to Save America, and then anything left from there goes to the RNC and then to state political parties.

"The Biden campaign is zeroing in on Trump's incendiary rhetoric as it seeks to present him as a fundamental threat to democracy if he is re-elected — and capture independent voters who might be alienated."

Yet, Taiwan managed to hold fair and democratic elections and their people didn’t fall for the traps set by China, and the threats of their jets and missiles flying over the island.

How do they do it?

'Narratives about the 2020 election being stolen - which were shared without any evidence - spread online with simple posts, memes and algorithms, not AI-generated images or video, and still resulted in the US Capitol riot on 6 January.

This time around, there is a whole new range of tools available to political partisans and provocateurs which could inflame tensions once again.'

#RFK Jr. Adds “Leading #Anti-Vaxxer” to #Presidential #Campaign

Meet Del Bigtree, who believes that “the dark forces of #medical tyranny” must be stopped.

#Kennedy Jr. has added a new hire to his presidential campaign staff: Del Bigtree, who, per The Daily Beast, has the distinction of being known as “one of the country’s leading anti-vaxxers,” which makes a lot of sense given RFK Jr.’s views on vaccines, like that “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.”
