NEW OVERNIGHT — “Trump wants classified documents trial delayed until after 2024 election,” by Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney: “DONALD TRUMP on Monday called for a lengthy delay before he goes to trial for allegedly hoarding military secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate, contending that proceeding while he remains a candidate for president would make it virtually impossible to seat an impartial jury.” Read the filing

Federal prosecutors working for the special counsel, Jack Smith, asked Judge Aileen M. Cannon to reject a motion by former President Trump’s lawyers to postpone the trial concerning his handling of classified documents indefinitely. If the trial is pushed back until after the election and Trump wins, he could try to pardon himself or have his attorney general dismiss the case. Alan Feuer reports for the New York Times. 

Federal prosecutors investigating former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election have questioned multiple witnesses, including Jared Kushner, about whether Trump privately acknowledged that he had lost the election, according to four people familiar with the matter. This line of questioning could help establish whether Trump was acting with corrupt intent. Proving this could substantially strengthen any case prosecutors try to bring against Trump. Testifying last month, Kushner said it was his impression that Trump truly believed the election was stolen, according to a person briefed on the matter. Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman report for the New York Times. 

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is ramping up an investigation into alleged attempts by Republicans to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona, according to two people familiar with the investigation. Mayes’ chief deputy Dan Barr said the investigation is in the “fact-gathering” phase. Investigators have contacted many of the pro-Trump electors and their lawyers. Investigators have also requested records and other information from local officials who administered the 2020 election. A prosecutor has inquired about evidence collected by the Justice Department and an Atlanta-area prosecutor. Yvonne Wingett Sanchez reports for the Washington Post.

And more CHEETO news-

ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously dismissed former president Donald Trump’s petition to block an Atlanta-area district attorney from investigating him over allegations of 2020 election interference and to throw out evidence gathered by a special purpose grand jury in the case.

Trump’s attorneys had asked Georgia’s top court late Thursday to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) and her office from further probing whether Trump and his allies broke the law when they sought to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in the state.

The Trump motion also sought to quash the final report of the special grand jury. It asked the Supreme Court to “stay all proceedings related to and flowing from the special purpose grand jury’s investigation” — a request made just weeks before Willis is expected to announce a charging decision in the high-profile case.

"Federal prosecutors investigating former President Trump’s efforts to reverse the 2020 election have suggested they could charge Trump with violating a civil rights statute that dates back to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era. Section 241 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code makes it a crime to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” in the “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” The modern usage of Section 241 raised the possibility that Trump could face prosecution for trying to rig the election. Maggie Haberman, Adam Goldman, Charlie Savage, and Alan Feuer report for the New York Times. 

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has complied with a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith seeking Election Day video footage from State Farm Arena, a polling station that was the subject of election fraud claims by former President Trump. Last month, the Georgia State Election Board dismissed its yearslong investigation into election fraud allegations linked to the polling location. Charlie Gile and Zoë Richards report for NBC News. 

District Judge Alvin Hellerstein yesterday denied former President Trump’s bid to move his Manhattan prosecution to federal court, finding that Trump was not carrying out presidential duties when allegedly making hush money payments. Hellerstein said the evidence overwhelmingly indicated the matter related to a personal embarrassing event. “Hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a President’s official acts,” he noted. Corinne Ramey reports for the Wall Street Journal. 

District judge Lewis Kaplan has dismissed former President Trump’s request for a new trial in a civil case in which a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming columnist E Jean Carroll. Trump was ordered to pay $5m in damages, which he argued was excessive based on the jury’s verdict. Kaplan said the verdict was not a “miscarriage of justice.” Chelsea Bailey reports for BBC News. "

From Maureen Dowd of the NY Times:  “A man is running to run the government he tried to overthrow while he was running it, even as he is running to stay ahead of the law.”

Since CHEETO is such a LOSER, I save it for posts where CHEETO deserves credit for the only thing he did right for history!

How have we come to this...

"A growing number of Americans support using violence to restore former President Trump to the White House, a survey by the Chicago Project on Security Threats (CPOST) has shown. Between Apr. 6, 2023, and Jun. 26, 2023, the number of Americans agreeing that “the use of force is justified to restore Donald Trump to the presidency” increased from 4.5% to 7%. That is a jump from 12 million to 18 million American adults. Robert Pape reports for CPOST."

That’s 17 times the total number of Americans that have died in all the wars we fought.  Can’t say they will be missed….

"Rudy Giuliani, former President Trump’s ex-lawyer, has admitted he made statements that were “false” by accusing two Georgia election workers of ballot fraud and conceded his remarks “carry meaning that is defamatory per se,” a two-page concession, filed on Tuesday night reveals. However, in the court filing, Giuliani maintained that his statements were protected by freedom of speech.

You've got to be kidding me but I know you aren't.  How sad this whole CHEETO ordeal is for this country.  CHEETO just needs to take his losing track record and stay home.  I loathe CHEETO. I'll leave Nixon out of this post.

Until CHEETO you are correct.  But for me the difference in their trampling on the Office of the President of the United States is at least separated by an order of magnitude or more with CHEETO being the loathsome award winner.  I emphasize an order of magnitude as what CHEETO did to disparage the office and the occupant is a total and complete disrespect for the US Constitution and the oath of office he took to support and defend said document. 

Nixon has risen from the ashes thanks to the country's worst President, CHEETO.

I have nothing further your honour (nod).

I concur
