The lawsuit was civil, meaning it did not involve criminal charges. But James said she was referring allegations of criminal wrongdoing to federal prosecutors in Manhattan and the Internal Revenue Service for investigation.

Weisselberg was convicted on 15 counts ranging from grand larceny to tax fraud to falsifying business records. He admitted that he had conspired with the former president’s company to commit numerous crimes. He was facing about 15 years in a State pen. As Trump's financial gatekeeper for decades.......he could give the DA a pretty good road map on where the bones are buried.

Tracker Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 More than 60 percent of Republicans want the United States of America declared a Christian nation: report A majority of Republican voters favor establishing a national religion in the United States of America, according to the results of a survey conducted by Politico and the University of Maryland that was published on Wednesday. The poll contained two key questions. The first asked respondents if they believed that the Constitution allows for an official state religion. Forty-three percent of Republicans said yes and fifty-seven percent said no. The second question was if those polled would "favor or oppose the United States officially declaring the United States to be a Christian nation?" Sixty-one percent of Republicans said they would, while only thirty-nine percent said that they would not. The First Amendment to the Constitution explicitly forbids such an action: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Politico nonetheless noted in its report that "appeals to Christian nationalism have a long tradition in American history, though they have usually operated on the fringes. But the increasingly mainstream appearance of this belief in GOP circles makes sense if you look at new public opinion surveys. Our new University of Maryland Critical Issues Poll suggests that declaring the United States a Christian nation is a message that could be broadly embraced by Republicans in the midterms and 2024 presidential race. But our findings also see limits to its appeal — and over the long-term, Christian nationalism could be a political loser." It added that "much of the support for declaring the U.S. a Christian nation comes from Republicans who identify themselves as Evangelical or born-again Christians: Seventy-eight percent of this group support the move compared to 48 percent of other Republicans. Among Democrats, a slight majority of those identifying themselves as Evangelical or born-again Christians also backed such a declaration (52 percent), compared to just 8 percent of other Democrats."

One more delay tactic shot down (pending an appeal to SCOTUS if Trump’s team goes that route). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 9 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: Trump argues presidents have the power to declassify documents 'even by thinking about it' Former President Donald Trump recently suggested that presidents don't necessarily have to conduct a formal process when it comes to declassifying documents. In fact, the former president claimed documents can be declassified “even by thinking about it.” During a recent interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump offered his take on the top-secret documents taken from the White House and transported to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. “There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it,” Trump told Hannity. “If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified.’ Even by thinking about it.” The former president went on to offer more context to his unfounded claim. According to Trump, a president has the power to make any decision he desires even without a formal process. “There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president. You make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified,” Trump added. “I declassified everything.” Trump Docs Probe: Court Lifts Hold On Mar-a-Lago Records WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals panel has lifted a judge’s hold on the Justice Department’s ability to use classified records seized from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate in its ongoing criminal investigation. The ruling from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit is a victory for the Justice Department, clearing the way for it to immediately resume its use of the documents as it evaluates whether to bring criminal charges in its investigation into the presence of top-secret government records held at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House.
