The Donald Trump Score Card

"According to the poll, which was conducted Jan. 25-29, Biden leads Trump 50%-44% among registered voters nationwide, up from a razor-thin one-point edge in Quinnpiac's December survey."

Former prosecutors: "Screw up" by Judge Cannon could lay groundwork for Jack Smith appeal

excerpt:

"Ex-U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance explained that given that the case is about illegal retention of classified materials and not the "nature of the classified information," the proceedings pertaining to their presence in the trial under Section Four of the Classified Information and Procedures Act should have been "straightforward" as they are routine for a case like this.

Cannon's schedule for the CIPA Section Four proceedings, for which she scheduled hearings for mid-February, has been unnecessarily drawn out, Vance argued Sunday, noting that Cannon could have held them earlier without delay. Following Wednesday's meeting, Cannon should "follow that simple path forward" for these types of proceedings, Vance added during a Wednesday MSNBC appearance.

"Where we will see fireworks is if she does not," the MSNBC legal analyst argued. "If she tries to let the Trump lawyers, for instance, look at this, then there will undoubtedly be an appeal. And of course, the real ball game is what gets put into trial in a courtroom, ultimately.""

 

Another loss for Trump. The last week has made him lick his wounds.

A U.K. judge has dismissed Trump's claim that his reputation was damaged by the Steele dossier.

Trump filed the suit in the U.K. after various failed suits in the U.S., such as his failed RICO suit against Hillary Clinton and others.


UK judge dismisses Trump's lawsuit over dossier containing 'shocking and scandalous claims'

excerpt:

"LONDON (AP) — A judge in London on Thursday threw out a lawsuit by former U.S. President Donald Trump that accused a former British spy of making “shocking and scandalous claims” that were false and harmed his reputation.

Judge Karen Steyn said the case Trump filed against Orbis Business Intelligence should be dismissed. “There are no compelling reasons to allow the claim to proceed to trial,” she said."

 

Ironically, Trump has criminal charges against him in GA stemming from the GA RICO statutes.

Trump and his yokels, like Giuliani and Eastman, should have reviewed the GA state laws before embarking on a scheme to overthrow the GA 2020 election.

 

Sources say Weisselberg is in perjury plea talks.

He was a witness who testified in court during Trump's civil fraud trial in NY after plea bargaining for tax evasion.

Trump gave Weisselberg a sweet deal of fringe benefits tax-free.


Ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg in perjury plea talks, sources say

excerpt:

"If Weisselberg ends up pleading guilty to a perjury charge it would mark his second criminal conviction. He previously pleaded guilty to criminal charges and testified against the Trump Organization, which was convicted in 2022 of tax evasion."

 

Before Weisselberg admitted to tax evasion in a plea bargain, Trump, who says he knows more about taxes than anyone, asked his followers at a rally if anyone really knows if what he and Weisselberg did was criminal.

Nurse Nabbed After Leaving Swanky Hotel Key at Capitol Riot, Feds Say

excerpt:

"Sandra Lee Hodges, 61, occupied a Senate office at one point that day with far-right “celebrity” Anthime “Baked Alaska” Gionet—but she insists she was simply “sucked into the building” by the angry mob, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in Washington, D.C. federal court.

On the way back out, the feds say Hodges dropped the key card to her hotel room, which subsequently led law enforcement directly to her front door."

 

A slew of arrests and convictions of Trump's rioters has occurred the past week.

Five of Trump's rioters who were involved in the initial breach of the Capitol have been found guilty at trial.


5 Capitol riot defendants who led "first breach" on Jan. 6 found guilty at trial - CBS News

excerpt:

"Edwards testified at trial against the five defendants. In June 2022, she gave memorable testimony before the House Jan. 6 select committee, where she described the attack as akin to a "war scene."

"It was something like I had seen out of the movies. I could not believe my eyes. There were officers on the ground. They were bleeding. They were throwing up. I saw friends with blood all over their faces. I was slipping in people's blood. I was catching people as they fell," she told lawmakers. "It was carnage. It was chaos.""

 

After the riot, Trump said meekly to a reporter that perhaps some of his rioters did some things they shouldn't have.

 

'Donald Trump appears to be psychotic' as pressure overwhelms him: psychiatrist

excerpt:

"Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic," he said.

"He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him."

Trump's federal election interference trial has been removed from the March calendar.

The trial had been scheduled for March 4, 2024.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/02/01/trump-trial-calendar-jan-6-delay/

excerpt:

"A delay in the D.C. case makes it increasingly likely that the first of Trump’s four criminal trials could be held this spring in Manhattan on New York state charges of business fraud in connection with hush money payments during the 2016 election. That trial has nominally been set for March 25, but the court in that case has signaled deference to Trump’s federal election subversion case. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has scheduled a pretrial hearing in two weeks — Feb. 15 — and is expected to decide after that if the trial will go forward as planned.
