The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump and the GOP are venting their frustrations on Biden's family members.

excerpt:

"Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) fired back at GOP leaders of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday over their subpoenas of Biden family members.

The committee earlier Wednesday issued subpoenas for President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the president’s brother, James Biden. It also asked James Biden’s wife, Sarah Biden, as well as Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen, to sit for transcribed interviews. The panel also asks for interviews with Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden, and her sister Elizabeth Secundy."

 

In the federal election subversion case, Trump must tell when he expects to use an 'advice of counsel' defense that could significantly delay the trial if not known in advance that he plans to use it.

The goal of the prosecution is to not let Trump wait until just before the start of the trial to use such a tactic.


Trump must tell court when he will invoke potentially risky 'advice of counsel' defense: Judge

excerpt:

"In a 3-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Trump to finally declare whether he intends to use an “advice of counsel” defense at his criminal trial in the nation’s capital no later than Jan. 15, 2024.

Prosecutors asked the judge in October to set a Dec. 18 deadline, sharing concerns that Trump was waiting “until the eve of trial” to formally declare his strategy. Such a ploy could throw proceedings substantially off schedule, since declaring it triggers a time-consuming sequence of events, they said."

 

Trump can choose to not implicate his attorneys and retain attorney-client privilege or he can implicate them with a cost of opening up more discovery to prosecutors which could be used against him.


Trump must tell court when he will invoke potentially risky 'advice of counsel' defense: Judge

excerpt:

"By invoking an advice of counsel defense, Trump would automatically waive attorney-client privilege for all of the communications concerning his defense. That means the government would then be entitled to additional discovery.

Things wouldn’t end there, either.

By gaining access to new discovery, it could also mean prosecutors would need to extend their investigation time. And that could mean new litigation, new briefings and more.

As part of his defense, Trump would essentially argue that any decisions he took tied to the allegations underpinning his indictment were formed with his lawyer’s advice and relied on in good faith."

 

Trump dropped his $500 million lawsuit against Cohen because he knew it would reveal more information about him during deposition that could be used against him by prosecutors in criminal cases and in the civil fraud trial against him. Trump had little chance of winning the case and did it mainly for retribution against Cohen who essentially won his case against Trump in July 2023.

 

At his counter-programming event in FL during the 3rd GOP debate, Trump mixed up his beloved autocrats again like, he did with his previous gaff about Orban and Erdogan in Europe.

Trump confused the country of his autocrat buddy in North Korea with his autocrat buddy in China by mistakenly saying that N. Korea has 1.4 billion people ruled by an iron fist.

The population of N.K. is about 26 million, not 1.4 billion.

Trump:

"Kim Jong Un leads 1.4 billion people. And there’s no doubt about who the boss is."

 

In spite of his confusion, Trump says he will save people from an impending (as he mistakenly calls it) World War II.

Trump is making misleading statements about this ruling, claiming that the MN court threw out the 14th Amendment section pertaining to an insurrection.

It didn't. The MN court said that there aren't any state laws that prohibit Trump from running in the context of an insurrection and left the 14th Amendment issue up to federal courts to decide.

 

The Sedition Hunters website contributed to the identification of Yetman.

Sedition Hunters is a way for ordinary people to investigate Trump's siege on the Capitol. It can be painstaking to scour videos and social media pages, but it provides a satisfaction in knowing that one's own work helped bring to justice one or more of Trump's insurrectionists.

Frustrated after abortion-related GOP election losses in OH and VA, Trump continues to spread lies, such as claiming that Democrats kill babies after birth.

Trump promises major deportation operation if reelected in 2024.


In majority-immigrant city of Hialeah, Trump promises historic ‘deportation operation’

Trump:

“On Day One I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden Administration. And we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”

 

Trump is still talking like the Presidential Records Act makes government property his property.

excerpt;

"Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act," Trump posted on social media.

Under the Presidential Records Act, which became law in 1978, "any records created or received by the President as part of his constitutional, statutory, or ceremonial duties are the property of the United States government and will be managed by NARA at the end of the administration," the National Archives notes on its website.

"Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President," the site says. The Archives is required under the law to take custody of these records when a president, including Trump, leaves office.

 

Frustrated GOP in Ohio are proposing stripping judges of power to review cases related to new abortion rights amendment.

The GOP in Ohio is using Trump's type of unfounded accusations about elections whose outcomes they don't like.

It's claiming “foreign election interference” in the November 2023 vote that passed an abortions rights amendment.


https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4304861-ohio-gop-lawmakers-call-block-new-abortion-amendment/

excerpt:

“The Ohio legislature alone will consider what, if any, modifications to make to existing laws based on public hearings and input from legal experts on both sides.”

 

After the abortion loss. the GOP-controlled legislature in Ohio wants to be the judicial branch by dictating onto the voters what it thinks should be law in spite of the election results.

Other tactics included trying to raise the level needed to change the OH constitution from 50% to 60% (which failed) and (Trump-endorsed) LaRose removing tens of thousand of voters from the registration rolls shortly before the November 2023 election without announcing it.

 

Kinzinger might want to reconsider.

Trump is the type of person who posthumously could have a Church of Trump and ongoing reported sightings of him, like Elvis.
