‘Cowboys for Trump’ founder’s Jan. 6 case highlights challenges facing prosecutors excerpt: "A New Mexico county official charged with two misdemeanors for breaching Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 lashed out Monday after a federal judge set a March 2022 trial date to resolve his case. “I broke nothing, I didn't fight with anybody,” Couy Griffin, an Otero County commissioner and the founder of “Cowboys for Trump,” said during a video hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden. “My life’s been turned upside down. … I'm being punished every day I don't have a trial.” Griffin’s case has become an early test for the thicket of challenges confronting prosecutors and courts as they continue processing the 600-plus Capitol riot defendants. Investigators say Griffin followed the Jan. 6 mob to the foot of the Capitol and stood on the steps but did not enter the building. He faces two charges for entering a restricted area without authorization and committing disruptive conduct while he was there."
Know the law and the consequences before you break it. It's illegal to be on the Capitol steps without permission. Mistakenly thinking you have permission from Trump isn't permission.

Tina Peters has surfaced. Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters presents Board of Commissioners with alleged evidence of destruction of election records excerpt: "GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - On Friday, Sept. 17, Mesa Co. Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters presented the Mesa Co. Board of Commissioners with alleged evidence of a significant loss of data found within the Mesa Co. voting systems. The evidence Peters gave to the board is a 83-page report of forensic examination and analysis. According to Peters, it was prepared by Doug Gould, the cyber forensic expert retained to advise her in accordance with her duties as the county’s Chief Election Official. The Sec. of State has stripped Clerk Peters of her election supervision authorities. In Aug. the Mesa Co. Board of Commissioners appointed Wayne Williams as the county’s Designated Election Official. The report claims, “forensic examination found that election records, including data described in the Federal Election Commission’s 2002 Voting Systems Stands (VSS) mandated by Colorado law as certification requirements for Colorado voting systems, have been destroyed on the Mesa County’s voting system, by the system vendor and the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.” The report then continues by naming concerns for possible data destruction in other counties. The report also claims a total of 28,989 logfiles were deleted. According to the report, these logfiles are required to reconstruct the function of and events taking place on the voting systems, and based upon information provided by legal counsel, must, by law, be preserved."
Ummmm... Let me guess. She deleted them, hung out with pillow guy for awhile, resurfaces and is now reporting somebody deleted them. Seems legit...
If you think Donald Duck is insane, these idiots are stupid enough to believe him when he says they can get away with anything. The conservative judges are the ones I'm worried about, because they also appear to believe they can get away with anything, and so can Donald Duck.
Tina Peters lied about a consultant being an employee of her office. Someone turned off the security cameras. Someone stole data from the voting machines that later surfaced on the web. After all of that, Peters says she was just doing her job. Trump planted much of this false suspicion in the minds of his following with his months long 'stolen election' campaign. Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters reappears at Grand Junction church | 9news.com excerpt: "In her speech, Peters said Griswold is playing politics to prevent audits into the 2020 election and Dominion voting software. "Some powerful people don’t want us to look at the facts. In fact, they’re trying to remove me as the Mesa County clerk and recorder just for doing my job," she said. "It’s places like Mesa County that can be the catalyst to take back our country, and we need your help, and it starts today." Peters said her concern about voting irregularities started because of calls from hundreds of worried voters in Mesa County. She remains under investigation by the SOS, the local district attorney's office and the FBI. She asked people to donate money to support her legal battles at StandWithTina.org. "I need your voices. I need your support. I need your prayers. And I need your financial contributions to ensure that our legal rights will continue," she said."
Trump won't endorse GOP Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Dolan because his father owns the Cleveland Guardians baseball team and Trump is upset that the name was changed from the Indians. Trump takes shot at new GOP candidate in Ohio over Cleveland nickname
That's akin to Richard Nixon hiring a crew to burglarize Watergate and justifying it by saying it allegedly revealedcriminal acts by groups he didn't like who were competition in a presidential election.
He's reaching for anything sensational he can use to get people's attention. Nobody's interested in another civil war, with at least half of republicans considering his first civil war to be successful, but overblown and taken too far. There's no way he can wag the dog of the Tea Party if he can't up the rhetoric and get their attention, while the rest of the republican party is burnt out already. Never say die is Donald Duck's motto, because he has nothing whatsoever to lose.
Let's hope his endorsements backfire! Trump, with spate of 2022 endorsements, goes where no former president’s gone before | Fox News .
Trump, with spate of 2022 endorsements, goes where no former president’s gone before excerpt: "Some Republicans worry that Trump’s backing of challengers against sitting Republicans he considers traitors could come back to haunt the GOP in the 2022 general elections. Duncan charged that Trump’s moves are "counterproductive and confusing to Republicans." And he spotlighted criticism that Trump's claims that the 2020 election was rampant with voter fraud contributed to a suppressed Republican turnout in the January runoffs, which saw GOP incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler defeated by razor-thin margins. "We've seen the circus come to town before, most memorably during the runoff with Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. We watched how 99.9% of the festivities were centered around him, talking about how he was wronged in an election, it was a fraudulent deal, and just creates and sows chaos and confusion as to why people should or shouldn’t show up to vote," Duncan told Fox News. Duncan said "at the end of the day I’m grateful for his conservative leadership." But he lamented that if the former president "just spent the whole time talking about how well he led on some of these issues, we’d be better off for it. But history is a great predictor of the future and he’s not going to do that. He’s going to come down here and throw darts at a very conservative governor, throw darts at Brad Raffensperger and my direction, and do nothing about how to help codify and coalesce a Republican majority to win these elections.""
Trump's success rate in promoting retaliation candidates for the 2022 election remains to be seen. The caustic nature of Trump and the current state of the GOP in general has been a variable in the equations of whether to seek reelection for GOP members who could be considered respectable. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio has decided not to run again in 2022 after two terms, citing the atmosphere created by Trump as one of the reasons.
