Michael Gableman - Wikipedia excerpt: "The watchdog group American Oversight released documents obtained by an open record act request in a lawsuit against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. They show the taxpayer-funded high salaries paid to Gableman's staff for his Republican party review of the state's 2020 presidential election that was initially provided with a $676,000 budget, for a process that was supposed to end by November. The staff includes members of former President Donald Trump's administration, conspiracy theorists, and others who have falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen. They have examined election records in search of fraud. Gableman is earning $11,000 a month. Some staff members, including former White House attorney Andrew Kloster, receive up to $5,000 a month or $450 hourly."
Michael Gableman - Wikipedia excerpt: "Ron Heuer, president of a group that sued to overturn the results of the election, is paid $3,250 monthly. Clint Lancaster, an Arkansas attorney is paid $10,000 monthly while others, including a former Milwaukee Police detective, earn $40 hourly. The American Oversight-released document show that review staff have made amateur mistakes and communicated with conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, the "My Pillow Guy." Gableman and his staff also visited the site of a Maricopa County, Arizona "audit" as well as a South Dakota "symposium" Lindell operated. Wisconsin taxpayers underwrote thousands in travel expenses. Gableman had spent $175,500, the bulk being paid for staff salaries. He and many of his staff members have made the false claim that Trump won the 2020 election. Biden actually won Wisconsin by 20,682 votes.[28] The review has been criticized for being a waste of taxpayer money and for harming public confidence in Wisconsin’s elections."
Michael Gableman - Wikipedia excerpt: "In late November, Gableman requested a Waukesha County judge to order the local Sheriff’s Office to arrest the mayors of Green Bay and Madison for failure to appear to testify. Such testimony demanded of local and state election officials has generated considerable contention with simultaneous court battles happening in widespread jurisdictions. Officials have said they'd testify in public forums but Gableman insisted he be allowed to question them privately. The state statutes permitting legislative committees to appoint special counsels to conduct investigations require public testimony. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit against Gableman and his attempt to subpoena Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe. An attorney for the Green Bay mayor threatened to file for sanctions against Gableman over his attempt at arresting the targeted mayors. Hearings regarding those cases were scheduled for December 22nd and 23rd, 2021.[29]"
Trump facing "five-year felony" over classified-docs scandal: Kirschner excerpt: "The discovery of classified material in 15 boxes illegally taken by Trump should supply probable cause for the issuance of search warrants of Trump's homes/offices for other public records. Of course, that would require @TheJusticeDept to actually do something aggressive," Richard Signorelli, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, tweeted. Polling data from The Economist/YouGov released on Thursday showed that a large majority (79 percent) of Americans believe Trump's actions regarding the records are more "wrong" than "right." That included 61 percent of Republicans and 91 percent of Democrats.
The National Archives having to battle Trump for 8 months to recover the documents from his mansion isn't routine. Furious Trump Says Taking Home Classified Documents Was Part Of 'Routine' Process excerpt: “The National Archives did not “find” anything, they were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of my legacy and in accordance with the Presidential Records Act.
Five years for taking classified materials and maybe ten years for tax and bank fraud ... and God knows what else they could stick him with at the end of the January 6th inquisition.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Trump knows he screwed up big time and it could cost him his freedom.
The Dictator Tour Report: Trump Organization in talks to host controversial Saudi golf league excerpt: "Much remains uncertain around the upcoming Saudi Arabian golf league, particularly which golfers will participate, but what is definitely known is that it will be backed by an extraordinarily controversial government with rampant human rights violations. Still, the idea of well-funded operation intending to rival the PGA Tour has drawn interest from people around golf, and now former President Donald Trump's company is reportedly getting involved. The Trump Organization is in talks with LIV Golf Investments, the Saudi-backed organization putting the league together, to host events at courses owned by the former president, according to The Washington Post. Among the courses reportedly discussed as sites for the nascent tour are Trump's courses in Bedminster, New Jersey, and Doral, Florida. Trump's Turnberry course has also hosted four British Opens, which could make it attractive for a rival tour."
Report: Trump Organization in talks to host controversial Saudi golf league excerpt: "It's also hard to imagine Trump's opinion of the PGA has changed. Trump was bitter when the PGA Tour moved its WGC Championship from his Doral course to Mexico City in 2016, then the PGA moved the 2022 PGA Championship from his Bedminster course to Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Then there's the financial aspect of the potential move. It's no secret that Saudi Arabia has decided to use sports as a way of improving its international standing, pushing to host pretty much every event it can get its hands on. That includes UFC events, boxing matches, WWE events, horse races, Formula 1 races and, of course golf.""
Floundering Trump-backed candidates are discovering his endorsement is not enough: CNN panel excerpt: "There are examples where it's happened," she added. "You still have to -- we go back to basics all the time -- but you still have to run a campaign. Many of these candidates thought 'I got the Trump endorsement, what do I need to worry about? Everything will come to me: money, love, votes.' It doesn't work that way."
