To be fair, President Trump’s four years in office weren’t so bad, except when when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans

No, but anti-Trump Republicans positioning for a battle is good.  There needs to be a civil war in the GOP, and the Rove/Cheney branch needs to win.  It would help the Democrats win seats in the short run and help our country be less stupid in the long run. 

I can’t imagine having this thought a few years ago. Rove and Cheney are some of our best allies in saving Democracy.

Liz & Dick Cheney are doing a lot more to crush the Trump wing than most people realize.  Karl is pretending to be an agent within, but he's actually fostering violence because he thinks that's the best way to rid the party of the toxic element.  He believes that if enough of those assholes commit enough heinous acts, the rest of the party will jettison them and rebuild.  It's actually a sensible plan, but backing the Oathkeepers and Proud Bois is a bold strategy that's gonna get a lot of people hurt in the meantime.  

Rand Paul and Matt Kibbe seem to have done a curiously effective job at rolling the Libertarian wing of the GOP into the Trump fray.  Baffled how they did it, but it worked.  

The one who can really change all this, as most of you know, is Mitch McConnell.  Out Republic literally rests with him.  

Ted Cruz is leaking info to the FBI about Trump in an effort to usurp him for party control while still looking like a MAGA loyalist.  Sadly, if anybody can pull it off---it's that piece of shit.

Inventing Anna: The Tale of a Fake Heiress, Mar-A-Lago and an FBI Investigation

https://newsinteractive.post-gazette.com/anna-de-rothschild-trump-mar-a-lago-security-fbi-investigation/

Spoiler

The ability of Ms. Yashchyshyn — the daughter of an Illinois truck driver — to bypass the security at Mr. Trump’s club demonstrates the ease with which someone with a fake identity and shadowy background can get into a facility that’s one of America’s power centers and the epicenter of Republican Party politics.

We only know about her because she got caught. How many others like her have there been?

Spoiler

Ms. Yashchyshyn said in sworn statements in a legal dispute that she has never used another name and has not broken any laws. In an interview with the Post-Gazette, she said she didn’t know Anna de Rothschild.

She's committed to the lie.

Spoiler

Mr. LeFevre and three other guests interviewed for this story said Ms. Yashchyshyn repeatedly told people after entering the palatial Mar-a-Lago grounds that she was a Rothschild “and everyone was eating it up,” he said.

Sounds like a typical country club crowd.

Spoiler

The Secret Service more than likely didn’t run background checks to determine Ms. Yashchyshyn’s identity when she visited the former president’s home, partly because the level of protection drops significantly when a president leaves office, said four former agents interviewed for this story.

In most cases, “they are going to do a level of screening — a hand check” for weapons, said Jonathan Wackrow, a former agent who served on President Barack Obama’s detail. “He still has a full detail.”

Secret Service is regarded.

Spoiler

Valeriy Tarasenko, 44, a Florida businessman who was raised in Moscow, said he met Ms. Yashchyshyn in 2014 and allowed her to live in his Miami condo so that she would watch his children when he traveled on business.

They have since parted ways over what he alleged was her abuse of one of his children – accusations that Ms. Yashchyshyn vehemently denies.

He said he has met twice with FBI agents and spoke to them about multiple trips she made to Mar-a-Lago and what he claims were her efforts to make inroads in the Trump family and look for new streams of money.

She used “her fake identity as Anna de Rothschild to gain access to and build relationships with U.S. politician[s], including but not limited to Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and Eric Greitens,” he said in a court affidavit in Miami

Tarasenko sounds like he has an axe to grind...

Spoiler

Ms. Yashchyshyn, an officer in two Florida companies founded by Mr. Tarasenko — both devoid of any assets — claimed that whatever steps she took to gain money were directed by him.

“[E]very single move that I did, I’ve been told by Valeriy to do so,” she said in a deposition. “[A]fter a few incidents like that, I realized that he’s using me for his lifestyle and for his needs.”

...but she points the finger back at him.

Spoiler

In 2015, Ms. Yashchyshyn became president of a Miami charity, United Hearts of Mercy — the same name of a charity founded by Mr. Tarasenko in Canada five years earlier.

The Miami entity was promoted on social media as a vehicle to help impoverished children but was actually a source of illicit funds for organized crime, according to a statement by a certified public accountant for the charity that was provided to the FBI.

After hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into the charity’s coffers two years ago, a payment processor, Stripe Inc., suspected fraud and stopped taking in money for a campaign that was supposed to help families ravaged by the pandemic.

The Post-Gazette emailed more than two dozen of the “donors” from Hong Kong, and every email bounced back, suggesting they were fake email addresses used to trick the payment processor.

fraud-transaction.jpg


A $19,100 “donation” to United Hearts of Mercy, flagged as fraud.


At the end of the charity drive, the accountant, Tatiana Verzilina, said she began to get calls from people who she suspected were from criminal groups, threatening violence and demanding the money.

These Russian mobster types are so cliche. 

Spoiler

The FBI in Miami said it would not comment, but at least three people who live in South Florida said they have been interviewed by FBI agents in the past seven months about Ms. Yashchyshyn’s activities.

One of them, Sergey Golubev, a Russian-born U.S. citizen who was once married to Ms. Yashchyshyn, said they wed in 2011 so she could obtain U.S. residency and stay in the country, but the marriage was only on paper.

A little immigration fraud why not.

Spoiler

Another person who spoke to the Post-Gazette on the condition of anonymity said a host of records, photos and videos had been turned over to the FBI of Ms. Yashchyshyn, including pictures of her posing with Mr. Trump, Mr. Graham, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Trump campaign donor Richard Kofoed, along with other supporters of the former president.

I wonder if this stuff is related to the redactions in the affidavit.

Spoiler

Later, a guest joked with her that he would pass the photos onto her for a hefty price. “Anna, you're a Rothschild — you can afford $1 million for a picture with you and Trump,” he said in a video.

Country club humor.

Spoiler

Weeks earlier, Mr. Greitens, a former Navy SEAL, had announced his bid for the U.S. Senate with Ms. Guilfoyle as his national campaign chair.

Not until this March did the Trump entourage say they discovered her real identity.

Dean Lawrence, a Florida music creative director, said he met with Trump insiders at Mar-a-Lago, where he said he surprised them with the news.

So she was "in" with Trump and Graham from May 2019 to March 2022 completely undetected and presumed to be from old banker money.

Spoiler

Mr. Lawrence said he became acquainted with her because he was involved in a music company — Rothschild Media Label, where she was the president — to promote singers, including Mr. Tarasenko’s teenage daughter.

Mr. Lawrence told the Trump insiders that she was not the person they thought she was and warned them: “I want to clear something up with you. I want you to know that she has nothing to do with the Rothschilds. Don’t get involved in any kind of business with her.”

These people are clowns. There's no way a sophisticated network of spies didn't know that Trump had the most sensitive state secrets at MAL, and there's no way they didn't know how laughably easy it was to infiltrate MAL both during and after the Trump administration. Lock his ass up.

Quote

Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social website is facing financial challenges as its traffic remains puny and the company that is scheduled to acquire it expresses fear that his legal troubles could lead to a decline in his popularity.

Six months after its high-profile launch, the site — a clone of Twitter, which banned Trump after Jan. 6, 2021 — still has no guaranteed source of revenue and a questionable path to growth, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings from Digital World Acquisition, the company planning to take Trump’s start-up, the Trump Media & Technology Group, public.

 

Quote

The company warned this week that its business could be damaged if Trump “becomes less popular or there are further controversies that damage his credibility.” The company has seen its stock price plunge nearly 75 percent since its March peak and reported in a filing last week that it had lost $6.5 million in the first half of the year.

The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate, fueled a burst of Truth Social user activity, and Trump himself has increasingly used the site as one of his main online megaphones. “WE GAVE THEM MUCH,” he said, or “truthed,” on Friday in reaction to an FBI affidavit about classified documents kept at his Palm Beach home.

 

 

Quote

There are signs that the company’s financial base has begun to erode. The Trump company stopped paying RightForge, a conservative web-hosting service, in March and now owes it more than $1 million, according to Fox Business, which first reported the dispute.

The company also has struggled with some basics of corporate operation. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this month denied its application to trademark “Truth Social,” citing the “likelihood of confusion” to other similarly named companies, including an app, “VERO — True Social,” first released in 2015.

 

Spoiler

Representatives from Trump’s company and Digital World did not respond to requests for comment.

RightForge has advertised itself as a pillar of the conservative push to build a parallel internet protected from “Big Tech censorship.” Its chief executive, Martin Avila, declined to comment and said, “We fully stand behind the president and his endeavors.”

But two people familiar with the dispute, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private details, said the lack of payment had fueled anger that Trump could shortchange a champion of his “free speech” mission.

The Trump company and RightForge have been communicating with each other exclusively through attorneys in recent weeks, (Ed note:  that's always a great sign)  the people said. Digital World Acquisition’s stock slid about 7 percent on Friday.

Trump’s businesses have faced many similar payment battles over the years. In past SEC filings, Digital World has also noted that “a number of companies that were associated with [Trump] have filed for bankruptcy” and that “there can be no assurances that [Trump’s media company] will not also become bankrupt.”

In fact, Digital World’s filings have been consistently downbeat on the likelihood that Truth Social will be a success. Trump’s company “may never generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations,” it said in May, and if it is “unsuccessful in addressing [its] risks, its business will most likely fail.”

In June, Digital World said it had been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury and was facing investigations from both the Justice Department and the SEC that could delay its merger with Trump’s firm. The deal, initially planned for this year, is now indefinitely frozen.

Digital World also has said in filings that Trump’s social network will need millions of people to “regularly use” it for the site to achieve commercial success.

But Trump, the site’s most popular user, has fewer than 4 million followers, and the site’s most active trending topics, including #DefundTheFBI, have shown only a few thousand people posting to them in recent days, data from the site shows. For comparison, Twitter says it has about 37 million people in the U.S. actively using the site every day.

Truth Social has become a common sounding board for pro-Trump discussion and outrage. An armed man who was killed after trying to storm an FBI office in Cincinnati had been a frequent user of Truth Social, urging followers in posts to “kill” FBI agents “on sight,” according to a profile that matched the suspect’s name, location and photograph.

But in the days since the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Truth Social’s viewership has slowed, according to traffic estimates from Similarweb, an online analytics firm. Its U.S. audience has tumbled to about 300,000 views per day, down from nearly 1.5 million on the day of its launch.

While the site’s reputation suffered after its February launch was marred by fake accounts, a long wait list and other technical glitches, that time also marked the peak of the site’s online popularity, the estimates show.

Trump faces Justice Department investigations into his role in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and into how he handled classified documents after losing the presidency. Civil investigators in New York are digging into the Trump Organization, his longtime real estate and licensing firm.

Even his hiring of former Republican congressman Devin Nunes, a staunch Trump ally, to be the company’s CEO faces scrutiny. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman in West Palm Beach, Fla., ruled earlier this month that Trump Media must provide information regarding Nunes’ employment to Hearst Magazine Media and journalist Ryan Lizza, whom Nunes has sued for defamation.

Nunes, who assumed his post in January, makes $750,000 a year and is scheduled for a raise, after two years, to $1 million, Digital World filings show.

How the next 18-24 months will play out.

Trump gets indicted, pleads not guilty, begins run for President, takes it all the way to trial, is found to have witness tampered, jury tampered, and lied under oath multiple times, wins the Republican nomination, goes to court to keep running for President, and beats Newsome in the general election after utilizing Republican control of Florida, Georgia, and Pennsylvania to throw out votes for Newsome and win the electoral votes to put him into office by one vote.

Nothing bad enough could befall this haircut impersonating a man. 

Would this not be aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States?

He should be legally complicit in murder, but I think the directness of the connection, while obvious, would be difficult to prove.

Lastly, I believe the traditional adage is spies get shot.

Wut? There's literally nothing he can do that would make them turn on him as a party. You would think treason might be a reason to get rid of him, but nope, they still love him. I can't imagine anyone thinks that there is any sort of bottom that could make them rid themselves of him, he is their god now.

Everybody gets to talk about murder this weekend except me.  NOT FAIR!  

Yeah, I still don't think Trump is gonna stand trial for anything.  nation couldn't handle it. Plus we all have to admit, the entire economy would come to a grinding halt because none of us would go to work.  Wake up, turn the trial on, maybe change underwear, and crack open a beer (or it's 8 in the morning, scotch).

serious question---is it a blanket rule there federal district courts don't allow cameras?  The few I've  been in didn't allow them but unsure if it's a nationwide rule?  They wouldn't obviously discuss the specific contents he stole, but just the act the theft itself.  So not like they'd disclose anything, but I'm guessing there's no cameras in the DC/Federal district courtrooms?

The nation couldn't handle a criminal going on trial but it can handle a fascist fuck who believes he's above the law and who already tried to overthrow the government once and seems intent on coming back for a second bite of the apple. Brilliant insight.

Why do you care about cameras in the court room since by your amazing logic there's not going to be a trial?

Just because I doubt he'll stand trial doesn't mean there may not be one.  Apparently that I post on a message board that features a forum called "I'd pee in her butt" does not carry much weight with our Dept. of Justice (I looked into it).  I could handle it, you could handle it, but 35% of this country would lose their fucking minds and take to violent outbursts.  Just 'cause I don't think it comes to that doesn't mean I don't wish the piece of shit would go away forever.  

So my question for those in the know...could such a trial, were it to occur, be televised in what I assume would be the D.C. district court?  The Hastings ruling settled that while there is a ban, it can be lifted on a case-by-case basis by the federal judge's discretion.  Since those judges are already known for the DC district, I wonder if they've previously allowed them for any other trials. 

My god, imagine the demand for the seats in that courtroom.  People would stand outside for days to get a spot.  The security to get inside would take hours per person.  Would be amazing to see him at the defendant's table flanked by secret service agents and a bunch of unpaid lawyers whose trial expertise usually involves construction litigation.

After you finish watching the highlights of Bannon's trial from a couple months ago, or from Mike Flynn's trial in the early days when we were really just learning about trump's conspiracy with Russia, you'll have to let me know what you think about the prospects for a televised trump trial in the DC fed court. Oh that's right, never mind, there were no cameras in those court rooms.

Can you imagine a judge concluding that putting a camera and microphone on trump in a courtroom is in the "interests of justice", which is just part of the legal standard that'd have to be met?

Trump can’t appeal any relief granted to him in trial court, but he can appeal denials by the judge. It shouldn’t take a special master long to determine what’s trump property and what’s government property out of what the fbi took
