Trump Attorney Reportedly Blames Other Trump Attorney, Hires Her Own Attorney One of Donald Trump’s attorneys has reportedly hired an attorney of her own ― and is pointing the finger at yet another of the ex-president’s lawyers about an alleged false statement made earlier this year. According to NBC News, Trump attorney Christina Bobb spoke to federal investigators last week about the June statement she signed that claimed Trump had turned over all documents related to a subpoena, and no longer had any classified material at Mar-a-Lago. As the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago in August revealed, he still possessed hundreds of files. Bobb told investigators she didn’t write the statement she signed, NBC News reported. She claimed it was drafted by Evan Corcoran, another Trump attorney. She signed it only after adding a disclaimer that said it was “based upon the information that has been provided to me.” The Guardian confirmed that Bobb said she was instructed to sign the document at the direction of Corcoran despite not actually conducting the search for those records herself, and that she had insisted on the disclaimer. Bobb was Trump’s custodian of records at the time. Both news organizations also reported that she said another Trump attorney, Boris Epshteyn, was involved. In addition, NBC News reported that Bobb had retained Tampa-based criminal defense attorney John Lauro. After the FBI discovered highly sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago in August, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann warned that both Bobb and Corcoran could face potential perjury and obstruction charges over the statement. He urged them to get “the best defense counsel you can possibly get.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-attorney-blames-attorney_n_63451bffe4b03e8038ccbdab

This episode, on top of so many others, underscores that Trump is undeniably a dimwit with the self-preservation instincts of a bowl of Jello. Latest bombshell in Trump document scandal leaves NY Times reporter at a loss for words According to a recent report from The New York Times, the National Archives ratcheted up its pressure on former President Donald Trump to return documents he'd taken from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. "Mr. Trump, still determined to show he had been wronged by the F.B.I. investigation into his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia, was angry with the National Archives and Records Administration for its unwillingness to hand over a batch of sensitive documents that he thought proved his claims," The Times' report stated. "In exchange for those documents, Mr. Trump told advisers, he would return to the National Archives the boxes of material he had taken to Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla." Speaking to MSNBC this Monday, the report's co-author Michael Schmidt said the the notion of Trump using classified documents as a negotiating tool with the National Archives "is just another example of how Trump has sort of approached all of these investigations." "He was entertaining outlandish ideas -- ideas that were not based in typical reality of what you can and cannot do," Schmidt said. "The idea that if you had materials that were government records and you could use them as a bargaining chip -- with Trump you run out of adjectives, and the best one we could come up with is 'outlandish.'" "But in the story, what we do is we chronicle that not only did [his behavior] fit a pattern about the previous investigation, like the Russia investigation where he entertains crazy thoughts, but he also, he misled his own aides, he pushed them to take actions that he was unwilling to take himself, and that in turn exposed the aides and the lawyers and the representatives that were working for him, that increased their own legal exposure. And with Trump, it is a story that time and time again repeats itself."

Agreed. Fajardo may be a whiny individual unsuited to be an athlete, let alone a quarterback in a contact sport, but the emotional damage he has almost certainly sustained will hamper him for a long time to come unless he finds and uses a good therapist. Hell, living in Regina ought to be considered grounds for hardship disability pay.

"Pylon Of The Year"?

At a massive rally today (12 people in attendance in a dirt field) Trump admitted that he had boxes of documents from the White House in his possession, but it was OK because he declassified them- presumably with his mind. For the American DOJ, this potential prosecution has become a slam-dunk.

There's probably a Donald Trump skin joke as well.

The anti-vaxxers said that today was the day when the "toxins" in the vaccines were supposed to activate. Waiting........

Cases in point: Chris Jones and Jeremy O'Day. QED.

Things that I am thankful for this weekend: My health and the health of my family My wealth- I am not rich but I have enough to support me and my family and a little left over for fun and supporting causes I align with. Good friends- the ones I see regularly and the ones I don't and maybe haven't visited lately.

China's patience with Russia is running out. China's Foreign Ministry called for calming the situation on Monday after Russia showered Ukraine's city centres and energy infrastructure with dozens of missiles.

A master class in self-deception. But then, that's all they have at this point-fantasy.

If Dickenson and O'Day don't leave, a lot of fans will.

Parker was better and Winston Rose wasn't beaten badly often, but concerns remain. Whether these two are good enough to take us to the cup is debateable, at least to me, but what is not is that they were targeted repeatedly. Jones may be an annoying egomaniac but he has good credentials as a defensive coach and no doubt the game play was to go after these two. It seems to follow that anyone we play from here on in will use the same game plan.

Gavin McInnes Attempts to Quash Proud Boys’ Post-Jan. 6 ‘Civil War’" Facing revelations that their leader was a federal informant, the Proud Boys have erupted in recriminations. When Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes headed to Las Vegas for WestFest, the annual convention of his hard-drinking, street-fighting right-wing men’s group, he thought he knew what to expect. In the past, the convention had been a chance for McInnes to be feted as a hero—like “the Fonz” from Happy Days, as he put it on his online show. But last month, as he headed to this year’s event, McInnes was in for what he later described as “the weirdest experience of my life.” Much of the Proud Boys’ leadership is currently in jail, facing the prospect of hefty prison terms for their alleged role in the Capitol riot. Still, the Proud Boys meeting in Las Vegas should have been united by their pro-Trump politics, their desire for membership in a hard-drinking brotherhood, and their adherence to a club rule that they only masturbate, at most, once a month. But McInnes, who claimed to have abandoned any role in the organization in 2018 in the face of law enforcement pressure, found the mood icy. The Proud Boys in Las Vegas were bitterly divided, split roughly evenly between two factions that call themselves “Standard” and “National.” Each group accused the other of harboring federal informants and sex offenders. “Both sides say that the other side is racist and tolerates pedophiles,” McInnes said later on his online show. McInnes himself was not popular with many members. He had recently faked his own arrest to go on vacation, a move that struck some Proud Boys as a sort of federal-investigation stolen valor, coming right as one Proud Boy was sentenced to nearly five years in prison over Jan. 6. Still, inspired by witnessing what he called a “massive civil war” in Las Vegas, McInnes tried to quash the fighting. His attempts offer a glimpse into the influence McInnes still holds over the secretive quasi-paramilitary group, and the chaos that has enveloped the organization after the Capitol riot.y The split between the Proud Boys factions dates back to the post-Jan. 6 revelations that Enrique Tarrio, the group’s “chairman,” worked as a federal informant on cases that predated the Proud Boys’ existence. Tarrio’s home chapter in south Florida split into two rival chapters, dubbed “Villain City” and “Vice City,” and clashed online over Tarrio’s reputation. Elsewhere in the country, furious members who felt Tarrio had betrayed the club or led them into disaster at the Capitol dubbed him “Fedrique,” and several chapters announced that they would no longer recognize the authority of national-level leaders like Tarrio. Several of the breakaway chapters envisioned a more decentralized Proud Boys governed not by Tarrio and his ilk, but by a “Standard” of behavior. While it’s not clear to outsiders what all of the rules under that “Standard” are, one supporter summed it up on Telegram, the social media app where Proud Boys banned from Twitter and Facebook have ended up. The two main rules: “No snitches. No sex criminals.” That split set off a showdown between the splinter faction calling itself the Standard and the chapters that still adhered to Tarrio’s leadership, dubbed “National.” Rival Proud Boys “disavowed” one another, the group’s term for banishing a member from the Proud Boys. Intra-Proud Boy trash talk and threats proliferated on Telegram, where Proud Boys from across the country could follow the drama and fight. One Proud Boy on Telegram boasted that he would be the “Standard killer.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/gavin-mcinnes-attempts-to-quash-proud-boys-post-jan-6-civil-war?ref=home

Aww, poop. We didn't get to 50 points tonight, so should be consider this a near-loss?

Seems Suitor has not heard about Winnipeg honoring Shania.

Good thing he (barely) escaped the lynch mob a while back.

Okay, Jesus, Mohammed, Jehovah and Krishna. And Xemu, too.

They need Jesus

Wow. The Elk halfback just gave up the chase for the last 10-15 yards. Goin' for the 50 points.

Another Grant adventure.

Adams has his first sack as a Bomber and could have broken Corny in half but chose not to.

Agreed- gotta look to the future in case Collaros is out. He's had a lot of opportunities to practice during the games.
