What Donald Trump’s Criminal Trial Reveals About a Potential Second #Trump Administration
The latest trial revealed a lot about how Trump went about running his company and the presidency — and provided hints of how that might play out in a second Trump administration.
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.
Disgraced Republican convicted sex offender, Scott Ritter and former judge Andrew Napolitano, were forced off a plane heading to Russia!
Ritter said Customs and Border Patrol officers seized his passport by “orders of the State Department.”
The traitors were scheduled to address St. Petersburg International Forum (SPIEF) as guest speakers.
“I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT Russia Today state propaganda outlet.
Ritter with Judge Napolitana, Larry Johnson and Jackson Hinkle are KGB, FSB Putin assets. Larry and Jackson left early and are already in Russia.

#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.

In addition to #POTUS’ statement, Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, his sister Ashley Biden, his friend Kevin Morris, Peter Neal, who is married to Hunter’s daughter Naomi, & #FLOTUS Dr. #JillBiden are in attendance.
President #Biden will be in Wilmington, DL, w/no appearances scheduled. But he has given no indication that he would be in the courthouse — a possibility that would require considerable security arrangements.

Well-known U.S. sports podcaster Colin Cowherd neatly sums up a recent development in politics & the law:
"Donald Trump is now a felon. His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his national security adviser, his trade advisor, his foreign policy adviser, his campaign fixer, & his company CFO. They’re all felons.
'Judged by the company you keep.' It’s a cabal of convicts."
"This Article examines the growing number of soon-to-be-ubiquitous constellations of small satellites and the special problems they pose. It also suggests some legal reforms to combat the dilemmas and temper an otherwise dangerous renewal of an unconstrained and unproductive international race to space."
