“When you bribed Robert #Menendez, did you do that alone or w/other people?” a prosecutor asked Uribe.
“With other people,” he responded, & then named Wael Hana, an Egyptian American businessman who founded a NJ halal meat co that prosecutors say was used to funnel #bribes to the senator & his wife.
Menendez & his wife are charged w/conspiring to accept cash, gold bullion & other bribes for Menendez to direct aid to #Egypt & to meddle in #criminal cases in NJ. One of those cases involved Uribe
For all the talk about President Biden’s age by right wing pundits, criminal Trump’s legal team will (and without irony) be saying trump is too old as a reason to keep him from going to prison in July.
The new schedule reflects the array of #legal issues that #JudgeCannon has yet to resolve amid efforts by Trump’s legal team to #delay the #TrumpTrial.
The #Republican leaders of the House Oversight & Accountability, Judiciary & Ways & Means cmtes sent a letter to the #DOJ recommending the prosecution of #HunterBiden & #JamesBiden….
A 2nd #Trump admin could #weaponize existing government agencies to dismantle democracy itself.
This article is part of “Project 2025: The Plot Against #America,” a Nation special issue devoted to unpacking the right’s vast & chilling program for a 2nd Trump term.
…This is all part of #Project2025’s …vision for restructuring #DOJ so it can be #weaponized by a new #Trump admin when it comes to election-related issues. In Mandate’s chapter on #Justice, Hamilton…proposes reassigning…prosecuting election-related offenses from the #CivilRights Div to the #Criminal Div. Why? So #Republican-generated claims about “fraudulent voter registration,” “mail-in ballot fraud,” &…the various targets of Trump’s #BigLie claims…are “appropriately investigated & prosecuted.”
The GA Court of Appeals on Wed ordered a halt to the proceedings in the election interference case against Trump & 8 co-defendants pending the outcome of their appeal seeking to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney #FaniWillis.
The order, issued by the full appeals court, means the case against #Trump & his co-defendants, accusing them of a #criminal#conspiracy to try to overturn his defeat in the state, will almost certainly not be scheduled for trial before the fall #election or even the new year. It remains unclear if the case against the 6 remaining co-defendants who did not sign onto the appeal will proceed.
#StephenMiller, a fmr snr adviser to #Trump [& pure concentrated evil] who still helps guide his thinking on policy, blared out a directive on #FoxNews after a jury found Trump #guilty of falsifying financial records to cover up… his 2016 [#ElectionInterference]. Miller posed a series of questions to Republicans at every level, including local DAs.
#Trump Tues night on the conservative network #Newsmax:
“I said, ‘Wouldn’t it really be bad? … wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife & the fmr secretary of state — think of it, the fmr secretary of state — but the president’s wife into #jail? … But they want to do it … So, you know, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, & it’s very possible that it’s going to HAVE TO HAPPEN to them.”
#Trump has made #payback for opponents central to his campaign, at one point declaring to a crowd: “I am your #retribution.” In private, has told advisers & friends that he wants his #DOJ to investigate specific fmr aides & allies who are now critical of him. And he has promised to appoint a special prosecutor to scrutinize #Biden & his family.
