Cold driving rain squalls in northern Arizona today while I was out running. It was lovely, felt like spring in Ireland. A couple in a Jeep offered me a lift when I was about 6 miles from my car in the pelting rain. Declining the offer actually made the rest of the run even nicer. There was a moment of temptation.
It's sad the way that their lies are being held up to scrutiny. It didn't used to be that way. It used to be that they could tell whatever lie they wished, and it would be repeated enough that people would overcome their resistance to the absurdity of their lies, and begin, if not to believe them, at least believe that other people believed them.
Mutaman: "Think Althouse will ever get around to posting about Smirnov affair?"
LOLXinfinity!
The FBI coordinating with the dems on Russia Hoax 2.0/Dossier Hoax 2.0/"51" Lying Intel Agents Hoax 2.0/Concord Management Indictment 2.0 all rolled into 1!
So utterly transparent a "muddy the water" Biden Protection ploy that only the Althouse Blog usual suspects would push it...with the full knowledge they are lying.
A 14 year FBI trusted CHS delivers up whatever his paymasters want year after year, collecting handsome FBI/DOJ fees and suddenly, out of the blue, the dems need a new Russia Russia Russia Hoax fall guy to protect The "Big Guy" (deposit your 10% here) and voila! Adios Smirnov!
LOL
I guess Putin set up all those bank accounts for the Biden grandkids and routed the cash from those accounts to the "Big Guy"!
Yes ladies and gentlemen, these last 2 weeks demonstrates the pure desperation of our New Soviet Democraticals: they are going to run the entire Russia Collusion Hoax again and its in full swing.
They couldn't even be bothered to switch up the country!
This will also be used to try and hide just how much the entire Ukraine operation was corrupted beyond all recognition.
The Israel Hamas war has taken a turn for the worse. Aid trucks have practically ceased to deliver food the Gaza so that the people there really are facing starvation. "Starvation" has been claimed many times and people aren't listening but it is true now. And this famine will peak in a few days, about the time Israel launches its attack on the last of the Hamas army. This last organized army is the four battalions in the Rafah area which is also the area where is the gate, the Rafah gate, through which any food that comes will arrive. The result of the attack and the famine and the presence of desperate crowds seeking food at the Rafah gate will be a catastrophe. The food crisis is occurring because Hamas's police have ceased to guard the aid trucks and no one has taken their place. The UN will not deliver food aid without guards and so very little food is getting through. It's ploy by Hamas but Israel's cause will be crushed by the resulting scenes. Israel must take over guarding the food deliveries or in some other way ensure that deliveries are resumed. This war is a hybrid war and twists and turns impossible to imagine happening in previous wars of a more regular type are present here and must be dealt with by Israeli leadership.
The last one I could look at for hours. The layers of submerged stones, ice, the earth, and the puffy clouds all blend together, but are distinct. Great art.
Regarding the Smirnov affair (informant arrested for lying to the FBI about payments to the Biden Crime Family) it's as if a light has been switched on at NPR. Suddenly there is urgent, journalistic questioning, showing real chops on getting to the bottom of this. Well.....in the shallow end, maybe. But there's all kinds of 'probing of experts' going on, trying to accurately characterize how this confidential source lied to the FBI, how the whole story is false, how all other charges being 'touted' (their word) by the Republicans are not quite ready to be simply dismissed by association, but this one is for sure and others will surely follow. Really entertaining to hear journalism defense games being played on the air in dramatic form.

Free advice: if you're unhappy about a decision, don't spend all you time whining bout it, file your Notice of Appeal.
"Should Judge Engoron have been the factfinder? I don’t think so, and one argument Trump could make on appeal involves whether this case should have been a jury trial. If he raised this issue and won, he would get the entire case reversed. But I wouldn’t bank on that. The statutes involved did not call for a jury trial under New York law. Despite that, given how punitive the potential penalties were (and turned out to be), I think the defense should have been constitutionally entitled to a jury trial. But whether I’m right or wrong about that, such an argument does not make itself. Unless I’m missing something, the Trump legal team seems to have accepted that a jury trial was not legally available. They complained about being stuck with a bench trial before a hostile judge, but they don’t seem to have zealously contended that the circumstances constitutionally called for a jury trial, regardless of what New York’s business statutes say. If the record indicates that the Trump team did not sufficiently object, an appellate court is apt to find that the issue is waived at this point — despite the harshness of the judgment."
That old liberal Andy McCarthy Trump and his crack legal team (Habba !) really screwed the pooch by not fighting the jury demand issue.

Does anybody know where I can find a translation for gibberish?
I had no idea that judges like NY Judge Enron could drastically increase penalties because the convicted wanted to appeal and therefore did not confess and cry and say they were sorry. If he did that how could he appeal? The more I see the legal system in action the more it makes me puke.
I would rather go back to the family vendetta system, at least then you had a chance.
If Open season has been declared on suing Trump for whatever you want to sue him for, isn't it remarkable that only one woman with a history of false allegations has come forward, when the sings are clear that any and every jury is ready to award large sums of money?
I mean, how many people has Trump closely dealt with over these many decades in NYC, not a friendly place. Why is no one else coming forward when the doors to the vault are clearly open wide, red carpet even.
Is it possible that the most hated man in America is not really hated, the way the media and the politically connected elite say he is?
Looks like Joe Biden's paymasters and handlers in Beijing have approved a new space company startup: "Space Circling" (Shaanxi Tianhui Aerospace Technology Company).
Whats next?
The New Soviet Democraticals and deep staters working together to sell off the US technology lead to their ChiCom allies.
Elon better watch out as the entire federal govt is now populated with Letitia James' and they cant wait to rip away Musk's companies from him and just hand them to Xi and other New Soviet Democraticals.
We've seen this grift before.
It will be another Bernie Schwartz/Loral scenario where the Clintons handed the ChiComs MIRV tech (by accident! Oops!) that accelerated ChiCom MIRV tech by at least a decade.
And then all the usual suspects got paid...just like Putin oligarchs paying the Clintons and Bidens and all of DC at the Ukraine trough.
"I think the Democrats are trying to spread the idea that he’s the key to the case because now that his testimony is obviously been knocked down by the false statements charges, that makes it looks like the case collapses. But It doesn’t for example disappear the $24 million that went into the Biden’s coffers from agents of corrupt and anti-American governments."
The Bidens have hauled in a lot of money they can't explain.

Ayn Rand’s book on the creative power of economic freedom and the terrible consequences of its loss in an unimaginable world where there is only John Galt, a nobody, against a totally bureaucratic society.
"Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists who would suck the world dry for personal gain. "Who is John Galt?" Certainly not these two selfish fools crying in their beer because they are finding idiotic ways to lose their fortunes.
So Andy McCarthy is accusing DOJ of lying but cannot produce it, nor can Jordan and Comers show evidence to prove that the president has received bribes but now the question is "Why have Republicans been talking to Russian spies for years?" Guiliani did. Devin Nunes did. Trump's failsons did. Kash Patel did. Paul Manafort did. Mike Flynn did. Trump said; "Russia, find me Clinton's E-Mails" and they did!

Wow, the FBI paid a guy for info for 14 years then finds he is a liar and arrests him. He even came back into the country voluntarily and was arrested. Is the FBI going to set all the people that were convicted by his testimony over the past 14 years free now because their informant is a liar? No, of course not, he was telling the truth then and only lying now about Beiden.
After the election he will be Ray Eppsed and given probation, and big money payoffs for being the volunteer patsy.
Someone in the FBI is not very smart, and can’t predict the consequences of their spastic dumbshit legal ploys.
While low information commenters want to discuss the FBI failure to vet a Confidential Human Sources (CHS), again as we saw with Christopher Steele for 3 years; Iran is sending hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia.
So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy. It’s hilarious that an FBI informant who is the central figure in a Republican smear campaign should have ties to Russian intelligence. Someday we will get the whole scoop as to why the Republican Party is so tied in with Russians. It’s been amazing to watch since Trump entered the scene.
The gad strikes again: "Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists who would suck the world dry for personal gain."
You economic illiteracy knows no bounds. How many employees are employed by the aforementioned fascists? If Trump and Musk announced the complete closure of all of their business ventures tomorrow would that please you to see their employees hit the streets? A final question gad, how many employees does the gadfly corporation have on staff?
Photo #2 looks like a looming alien invasion a la Independence Day. Did you censor photo #3 because it showed an alien ship, your phone images were uploaded and monitored by the NSA, and you got a visit by Men In Black?

Multiple choice question for the libs on this site. Which leader said the following to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in March of 2012. "Tell Vladimir I will have more flexibility after the election"?
A) Mitt Romney B) Jim Biden C) Hillary Clinton D) Some guy named Obama
wildswan said... "The Israel Hamas war has taken a turn for the worse."
The information you recite comes against the background of almost universal support for Hamas being able to survive, reconstitute itself, and re-arm. The United States could take over policing the aid convoys - so could Britain, or France, or ... but no country will do so, because that would weaken the possibility of a propaganda victory for Hamas. It is a strange world in which almost every action of the country defending itself from invasion is seen as immoral.
When Germany decided to invade, rape, pillage and plunder its way across Europe, the allied armies were not expected to respond "proportionately." Their reaction was to wreak death, destruction and annihilation on Germany and Germans, until the beaten people faced nothing bu wreck and ruin. That's the way war is, with little concern for the sensibilities of the aggressors or the spectators.
Were you born a retard, or is this result a brain injury?
such meaningless twaddle zeros out any truth that may escape from your brain.
Why do you specifically omit fascists, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, etal? Are you even aware that Trump and Musk were not to long ago, celebrated by the leftwing nutters? Given awards of excellence?
Musk and Trump employ tens of thousands. Foundations of thousands of family's wellbeing are provided. And you, shoofly, can't write a convincing paragraph one day in a row.
"So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy. "
Aren't you talking about RussiaGate here, where we spent two years investigating Trump based on lies told by a Russia spy? Gadfly still won't let that one go.
There is plenty of evidence against Biden regarding corruptions based on bank records and the laptop and testimony of his business partners. If the FBI, an organization of Biden aligned political thugs, accuses one witness of lying, that does not invalidate the rest of the evidence.
Where did you learn logic? The Goebbels School of Advanced Misdirection?
Rich, too stupid to understand the FBI NEVER initiated an investigation to validated their own paid informants work product. An informant that had earned the FBI's ranking as highly reliable.
This is yet another megaton of evidence the FBI, is lazy, incompetent, and corrupt. I think every case the FBI has touched should be overturned. It is impossible to separate incompetence (sexual assault of ~100 female Gymnasts). From corruption (crossfire hurricane)
Rich why is the media talking about Smirnoff now? His 1023 has been public for ~2 years. Why report it now?
I can only think of two possible explanations for Gadfly, either he is addicted to watching Rachael Maddow, or somebody similar, whom he trusts completely, and he has an intense fear of looking at primary sources, because they might shake him out of the comfort of his beliefs, or he is simply creating propaganda based on the latest talking points he gets from some central source, there is a third option, but it is too unkind to state directly.
Propagandists prefer it when you write their absurdities off as stupidity, because it's better than them having to reveal their true reasoning. Politicians too.
"if you're unhappy about a decision, don't spend all you time whining bout it,"
I guess that if a law has been in force for 100 years, and never once been used in a case where there was no financial or other harm to any party, but after a century of being interpreted this way, it is decided to be used differently against a political enemy, we Americans are not allowed to complain unless we pony up a half a billion dollars?
Rich said... "So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy." No. It's based on Hunters own admissions and those of his business partners. And Bidens brother James. Oh. And a laptop that Hunter failed to redeem from a repair shop. The chain of cutody on the laptop is irrefutable. Are you really this simple?
"Does anybody know where I can find a translation for gibberish?"
Maybe if you didn't limit your news sources to sites that are fanatically loyal to the Democrats, you would understand that the Steele Dossier came from a Russian spy, who was interviewed as opposition research by lawyers paid by the Clinton Campaign, which expenses she falsely, on her campaign filings, put down to "legal expenses."
Here is the source of the Steele Dossier
A Wall Street Journal deep dive reveals that Steele’s central charges were based on idle gossip. Not from intel-community insiders with vast source networks. No: from a trio of unremarkable hacks with zero insight into covert affairs, whose only real connections were to Clinton World.
...
The nonentities were: Dem stalwart and PR man Charles Dolan Jr.; Olga Galkina, paid flack of a Russian tech entrepreneur; and the primary “researcher” on the dossier, Igor Danchenko. - NY Post. The Wall Street Journal is paywalled, or I would link to it directly.
Danchenko, now under indictment for lying to the FBI, passed on these “findings” orally to British ex-spy James Bond Christopher Steele (who’d forbidden him to write notes). Steele then ran with it all, as he (or the Fusion GPS sleaze merchants who’d hired him, after Clinton lawyer Marc Elias hired them) claimed it all came from his supposed Russian sources or, alternately, sources close to Trump. (Steele doesn’t speak Russian, by the way.)
Here is what the CIA knew before the Special Persecutor Mueller even was appointed:
Former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to tie the Trump campaign to Russia as a means of distracting the public from her private email server scandal before the 2016 election, according to newly declassified documents.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes along with a CIA memo showing that officials referred the alleged scheme to the FBI for potential investigation.
I could go on, but I won't, because you clearly don't care about the truth behind RussiaGate or you would be aware of this stuff, which is common knowledge.
Gadfly, you need to try rereading “Altas Shrugged” for comprehension, because if you think Rand’s point that acting selfish is fascism, then you failed. You shouldn’t be proud of expressing such ignorance in public.
@ Rich. Recall during the Romney-Obama presidential debate when Mittens declared that Russia was a threat to the US. Barack "Le Magnifique" Obama mocked him by saying the 1980's want their foreign policy back. Well guess what, here they are.
Maybe the reason that Mutaman doesn't know about any of the other evidence against Biden is because of the censorship. For example this link to the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee is censored by Twitter.
If you click on it from twitter, you are given a warning that the link is "unsafe." It's possible that Mutaman lives in such a tightly controlled censorship bubble that he has zero idea of the extent of the case against Biden.
BTW, here is Joe and Hunter Biden meeting with one of Hunter's clients from Kazakhstan. We are told that the picture proves nothing, but Joe said he was never involved in Hunter's business, and meeting with his clients seems to be an involvement, then receiving money from Kazakhstan, when other evidence shows that Hunter set up bio-labs in Ukraine to launder money for this Borat type character seems to be pretty strong evidence that Joe was involved in peddling influence through Hunter, after all, without Joe Biden's position, he once was assigned by Obama to oversee Ukraine, what could a crack head like Hunter do to set up businesses in Ukraine? It's not like he had access to classified documents in his dad's garage strewn about in cardboard boxes, after all.
Just once, I would like to see this kind of tic tac toe evidence in the prosecutions of Trump, instead we are treated to tenuous and bizarre novel legal theories to prove his guilt.
It's funny too, under the "every accusation is a confession" rule, that while Joe and Hunter, "Pedo Pete" and video-documented on his own laptop, pedophile, Hunter, were taking money from a real-life Borat, the movie was used to attack Giulianni. And the fictional Borat was supposed to be handing out children to Republican politicians. They know the truth is out there, so they have to deflect it and try to pin it on the other side.

THIS^^^
It is astonishing that anyone thinks Weiss arrest of Smirnov does anything other than question the FBI and DOJ’s incompetence. It is not the GOP that attempted to hide Smirnov as a highly trusted CHS. Weiss should have investigated Smirnov’s comments before Grassley brought it up. Weiss could have investigated when Grassley did bring it up. It wasn’t until late 2023 that Weiss, whose plea deal for Hunter Biden was rejected by a court, opted to look at Smirnov’s evidence and then months later make an arrest. That’s DoJ’s incompetence, but in all that time, the FBI continued to treat Smirnov as a trusted source. The FBI never vetted his intelligence, just like the FBI that didn’t vet Christopher Steele and sat on complaints by world class gymnast that they were being molested.
I see that Commander's desperate strategy to get removed from the Biden household finally succeeded. Pure canine genius. I suspect it was the naked showers and being asked how he liked Joe's hairy legs by comparison that drove him over the edge. Even a German Shepherd can only take so much. (Unlike Gadfly and Rich.)
David Charles Weiss, the person investigating Smirnov, is an American attorney. He was nominated by President Donald Trump to be United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
Shipwreckedcrew on X gives us this: "As a general proposition, the FBI is 100% against indicting sources in the manner that Smirnov has been indicted.
A source found to be untruthful is usually just closed out and "black-balled" -- there is an entry made that the source is not eligible to be re-opened because it has been determined that the source is not reliable or credible. That would dog the source anywhere he/she went to try to provide info for money.
Indicting a source makes recruiting sources much more difficult. They are told their IDs will never be revealed, and there are processes in place to make that true. I know Agents who refused to tell the US Attorney the name of their source even when that prevented a case from going forward. That was the promise that was given for the information.
So I don't think the FBI is a big fan of what Weiss has done here. And laying out all the details about Smirnov they way they have in the detention memo is a huge red flag waving in the wind for anyone now being recruited as sources by FBI agents.
It is also a tool that foreign intelligence services can now use to tell people they are recruiting that "See, you can't trust the FBI and DOJ. They will sell you out when it is in their interest."
More to come on this later in a new Subway Stacker article."
Yep.
The New Soviet Democraticals, once again, as always, have gifted Putin and Xi another very real tool and talking point to use on the world stage.
One of the Clown Caucus’ witnesses went missing and this one flat out lied about the whole thing and was feeding disinformation from the Kremlin. If the Republican Clown Caucus were capable of good faith arguments, they wouldn't be MAGA conservatives. And they'll still hold a vote over the impeachment of Biden because they are unable to reflect on their own actions. There will be zero humility here. Their test is not "is this true." their test is "will this bring in direct mail fundraising dollars from the rubes”.
But you keep ignoring the actual evidence that has turned up, and keep focusing on the one guy the FBI has accused of lying. It's not helping your case to simply ignore all of the evidence you find uncomfortable.
Hunter is claiming that the laptop was tampered with, even though the FBI has found no evidence that it had been, and you can bet that if they had found such evidence, it would have leaked a long time ago. Leaked, hell, it would have been announced in a news conference.
Hunter and Joe commingled bank accounts, Hunter picked up expenses for Joe, this is all documented. Imagine if we had anything like this on Trump, he would already be in prison, and rightly so.
LLR-democratical Rich: "One of the Clown Caucus’ witnesses went missing and this one flat out lied about the whole thing and was feeding disinformation from the Kremlin."
LOL
You keep lying this badly and LLR-democratical Chuck is not going to be very pleased with your disinformation performance on this blog!
Concord Management BS indictment (blown up in the most glorious way in court) + Steele/Danchenko Hoax Dossier here we go again!
These New Soviet Democraticals have a 1 play playbook.
James Biden, under oath, testified the ChiComs gave the Bidens 2 valuable diamonds as Sweet Nothings Between ChiCom Handlers And Biden Family Bribery Representatives.
But James claims that while Hunter kept his little gift, James just threw his away! Where you ask?
I dont know...maybe that trashcan near that school where Hunter dumped his firearm!
Next up for the LLR-democratical Brigade (Rich, Chuck, lonejustice): come up with a nonsensical but still "fun" explanation for how Putin made the ChiComs give diamonds along with the tens of millions of $$$ to the Biden Family Bribery Representatives!
Gadfly, when you get around to reading "Atlas Shrugged" and wonder "who is Donald Trump"; you might try focusing on Francisco d'Anconia. Good news for you is that much of his story is in Part 1, but if you insist on being lazy, you'll still come here making stupid comments because you didn't get into Part 3. We will know if you read it properly. I know others will compare Trump to Galt and Reardon, but I think d'Anconia is a better fit for what he is willing to endure.
More high test gibberish from Comrade Drago. Wind him up and watch him go…
Half of the Clown Caucus’ mission is just to exhaust the public with utter nonsense. They are now accepted as liars so they just feel uninhibited spinning more and more blatant propaganda in absence of any actual damning facts.
Comment on Legal Insurrection about Biden giving OUR money to lazy college students who "can't" pay the loans THEY signed....after the Supreme Court ruled against him....
"Trump is being prosecuted for paying off a “professional actress” with his own money to hush up about a supposed affair because that money is considered campaign financing — meant to influence the way people vote.
But telling voters they can keep other people’s money they borrowed with the not-so-subtle intent to bribe them to vote for you…. that’s about as legit as stealing classified documents you are not even authorized to see and store them in your garage in order to facilitate a bribing operation with an enemy state." -George S.
To my friends on the Left: Imagine these words coming from Donald Trump's mouth and tell me whether you'd be as nonchalant (if not actually pleased) about this.
Try not to lie to me when you answer, too.
TheBlaze @theblaze
Biden on student loan cancellation: “The Supreme Court blocked it. But that didn't stop me."
"James Biden, under oath, testified the ChiComs gave the Bidens 2 valuable diamonds as Sweet Nothings Between ChiCom Handlers And Biden Family Bribery Representatives.
But James claims that while Hunter kept his little gift, James just threw his away! Where you ask?"
Did James say WHY he threw his away (not that I believe he did), because that's pretty weird.
On a recent Sunday, a man dressed in basketball shorts and a black and yellow T-shirt that read “FIGHT CLUB” was summoned to the front of a hired event space in Pomona, California, and invited to climb into an inflatable bathtub to be baptized.
The baptism, which was streamed on Facebook, was led by Pastor Hansel Orzame, a 44-year-old southern Californian and a self-identified Christian Nationalist who leads “Ekklesia; The Unwoke Church.”
The Praying Patriot who was baptized on this recent Sunday in February was named Andrew. Sitting in the bathtub in his clothes, he spoke into a microphone that Orzame held for him, his voice cracking with emotion. Andrew, who has Proud Boy insignia in his personal Telegram profile, explained that he’d recently found God and learned that “true masculinity is in Christ.”
“Christ had the biggest cojones,” said Andrew. “Being men of Christ is being real men. So let’s be real men.”
Looking for scripture help here, I found Hebrews 8:1–2 says: “We have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.”
So Jesus is seated in power, as King and Lord of all, at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus is real, human, risen, glorified, and reigning over all, waiting patiently for all his enemies, in his perfect timing, to be put under his feet. Sorry, but no mention is made of his private parts.

It’s hard to express how your laking in kindness, humanity, caring, literacy, allegory, and acceptance of your fellow man is expressed in this comment, gadfly.

The Israel Hamas war has taken a turn for the worse. Aid trucks have practically ceased to deliver food the Gaza so that the people there really are facing starvation. "Starvation" has been claimed many times and people aren't listening but it is true now. And this famine will peak in a few days, about the time Israel launches its attack on the last of the Hamas army. This last organized army is the four battalions in the Rafah area which is also the area where is the gate, the Rafah gate, through which any food that comes will arrive. The result of the attack and the famine and the presence of desperate crowds seeking food at the Rafah gate will be a catastrophe. The food crisis is occurring because Hamas's police have ceased to guard the aid trucks and no one has taken their place. The UN will not deliver food aid without guards and so very little food is getting through. It's ploy by Hamas but Israel's cause will be crushed by the resulting scenes. Israel must take over guarding the food deliveries or in some other way ensure that deliveries are resumed. This war is a hybrid war and twists and turns impossible to imagine happening in previous wars of a more regular type are present here and must be dealt with by Israeli leadership.

Think Althouse will ever get around to posting about Smirnov affair
=================================
what is Smirnov affair? Ludlum or Hitchcok
These are nice. They are elemental.
Regarding the Smirnov affair (informant arrested for lying to the FBI about payments to the Biden Crime Family) it's as if a light has been switched on at NPR. Suddenly there is urgent, journalistic questioning, showing real chops on getting to the bottom of this. Well.....in the shallow end, maybe. But there's all kinds of 'probing of experts' going on, trying to accurately characterize how this confidential source lied to the FBI, how the whole story is false, how all other charges being 'touted' (their word) by the Republicans are not quite ready to be simply dismissed by association, but this one is for sure and others will surely follow. Really entertaining to hear journalism defense games being played on the air in dramatic form.

Free advice: if you're unhappy about a decision, don't spend all you time whining bout it, file your Notice of Appeal.
Dappled. Simply lovely.
"Should Judge Engoron have been the factfinder? I don’t think so, and one argument Trump could make on appeal involves whether this case should have been a jury trial. If he raised this issue and won, he would get the entire case reversed. But I wouldn’t bank on that. The statutes involved did not call for a jury trial under New York law. Despite that, given how punitive the potential penalties were (and turned out to be), I think the defense should have been constitutionally entitled to a jury trial. But whether I’m right or wrong about that, such an argument does not make itself. Unless I’m missing something, the Trump legal team seems to have accepted that a jury trial was not legally available. They complained about being stuck with a bench trial before a hostile judge, but they don’t seem to have zealously contended that the circumstances constitutionally called for a jury trial, regardless of what New York’s business statutes say. If the record indicates that the Trump team did not sufficiently object, an appellate court is apt to find that the issue is waived at this point — despite the harshness of the judgment."
That old liberal Andy McCarthy
Trump and his crack legal team (Habba !) really screwed the pooch by not fighting the jury demand issue.

Does anybody know where I can find a translation for gibberish?
I had no idea that judges like NY Judge Enron could drastically increase penalties because the convicted wanted to appeal and therefore did not confess and cry and say they were sorry. If he did that how could he appeal? The more I see the legal system in action the more it makes me puke.
I would rather go back to the family vendetta system, at least then you had a chance.
Great pics! - they feel like portals - the second one reminded me of 2001's star gate.
If Open season has been declared on suing Trump for whatever you want to sue him for, isn't it remarkable that only one woman with a history of false allegations has come forward, when the sings are clear that any and every jury is ready to award large sums of money?
I mean, how many people has Trump closely dealt with over these many decades in NYC, not a friendly place. Why is no one else coming forward when the doors to the vault are clearly open wide, red carpet even.
Is it possible that the most hated man in America is not really hated, the way the media and the politically connected elite say he is?
Keep asking questions.
Uh oh.
Looks like Joe Biden's paymasters and handlers in Beijing have approved a new space company startup: "Space Circling" (Shaanxi Tianhui Aerospace Technology Company).
Whats next?
The New Soviet Democraticals and deep staters working together to sell off the US technology lead to their ChiCom allies.
Elon better watch out as the entire federal govt is now populated with Letitia James' and they cant wait to rip away Musk's companies from him and just hand them to Xi and other New Soviet Democraticals.
We've seen this grift before.
It will be another Bernie Schwartz/Loral scenario where the Clintons handed the ChiComs MIRV tech (by accident! Oops!) that accelerated ChiCom MIRV tech by at least a decade.
And then all the usual suspects got paid...just like Putin oligarchs paying the Clintons and Bidens and all of DC at the Ukraine trough.

"I think the Democrats are trying to spread the idea that he’s the key to the case because now that his testimony is obviously been knocked down by the false statements charges, that makes it looks like the case collapses. But It doesn’t for example disappear the $24 million that went into the Biden’s coffers from agents of corrupt and anti-American governments."
The Bidens have hauled in a lot of money they can't explain.

Anybody else feel like Atlas Shrugged Called the Delaware court judgment against Musk and the NYC court judgment against Trump? Especially Musk, though.
Ayn Rand’s book on the creative power of economic freedom and the terrible consequences of its loss in an unimaginable world where there is only John Galt, a nobody, against a totally bureaucratic society.
"Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists who would suck the world dry for personal gain. "Who is John Galt?" Certainly not these two selfish fools crying in their beer because they are finding idiotic ways to lose their fortunes.
So Andy McCarthy is accusing DOJ of lying but cannot produce it, nor can Jordan and Comers show evidence to prove that the president has received bribes but now the question is "Why have Republicans been talking to Russian spies for years?" Guiliani did. Devin Nunes did. Trump's failsons did. Kash Patel did. Paul Manafort did. Mike Flynn did. Trump said; "Russia, find me Clinton's E-Mails" and they did!
“A 14 year FBI trusted CHS delivers up whatever his paymasters want year after year, collecting handsome FBI/DOJ fees and suddenly, out of the blue, the dems need a new Russia Russia Russia Hoax fall guy to protect The "Big Guy" (deposit your 10% here) and voila! Adios Smirnov!”
Wow, the FBI paid a guy for info for 14 years then finds he is a liar and arrests him. He even came back into the country voluntarily and was arrested. Is the FBI going to set all the people that were convicted by his testimony over the past 14 years free now because their informant is a liar? No, of course not, he was telling the truth then and only lying now about Beiden.
After the election he will be Ray Eppsed and given probation, and big money payoffs for being the volunteer patsy.
Someone in the FBI is not very smart, and can’t predict the consequences of their spastic dumbshit legal ploys.

Everybody remember just a year ago when Trump was attempting to lift sanctions on Iran to give them an economic boost?
So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy. It’s hilarious that an FBI informant who is the central figure in a Republican smear campaign should have ties to Russian intelligence. Someday we will get the whole scoop as to why the Republican Party is so tied in with Russians. It’s been amazing to watch since Trump entered the scene.
The gad strikes again: "Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists who would suck the world dry for personal gain."
You economic illiteracy knows no bounds. How many employees are employed by the aforementioned fascists? If Trump and Musk announced the complete closure of all of their business ventures tomorrow would that please you to see their employees hit the streets? A final question gad, how many employees does the gadfly corporation have on staff?
""Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists who would suck the world dry for personal gain."
To be selfish is the cri de coeur of Rand. The whole plot of Atlas revolves around Rearden defending himself for acting selfishly.

A) Mitt Romney
B) Jim Biden
C) Hillary Clinton

If you guessed D you would right!
As others have mentioned, those photos are really special today, beautiful compositions.
Musk is definitely an Ayn Randian type character from Atlas Shrugged. Trump is more in the mold of a Peter Keating in The Fountainhead.

"The Israel Hamas war has taken a turn for the worse."
The information you recite comes against the background of almost universal support for Hamas being able to survive, reconstitute itself, and re-arm. The United States could take over policing the aid convoys - so could Britain, or France, or ... but no country will do so, because that would weaken the possibility of a propaganda victory for Hamas. It is a strange world in which almost every action of the country defending itself from invasion is seen as immoral.
When Germany decided to invade, rape, pillage and plunder its way across Europe, the allied armies were not expected to respond "proportionately." Their reaction was to wreak death, destruction and annihilation on Germany and Germans, until the beaten people faced nothing bu wreck and ruin. That's the way war is, with little concern for the sensibilities of the aggressors or the spectators.
. . . Musk and Trump, both fascists . . .
Were you born a retard, or is this result a brain injury?
such meaningless twaddle zeros out any truth that may escape from your brain.
Why do you specifically omit fascists, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, etal? Are you even aware that Trump and Musk were not to long ago, celebrated by the leftwing nutters? Given awards of excellence?
Musk and Trump employ tens of thousands. Foundations of thousands of family's wellbeing are provided. And you, shoofly, can't write a convincing paragraph one day in a row.
"So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy. "
Aren't you talking about RussiaGate here, where we spent two years investigating Trump based on lies told by a Russia spy? Gadfly still won't let that one go.
There is plenty of evidence against Biden regarding corruptions based on bank records and the laptop and testimony of his business partners. If the FBI, an organization of Biden aligned political thugs, accuses one witness of lying, that does not invalidate the rest of the evidence.
Where did you learn logic? The Goebbels School of Advanced Misdirection?
""Atlas Shrugged" has no selfish characters such as Musk and Trump, both fascists "
And another confession couched as an accusation.
Rich, too stupid to understand the FBI NEVER initiated an investigation to validated their own paid informants work product. An informant that had earned the FBI's ranking as highly reliable.
This is yet another megaton of evidence the FBI, is lazy, incompetent, and corrupt. I think every case the FBI has touched should be overturned. It is impossible to separate incompetence (sexual assault of ~100 female Gymnasts). From corruption (crossfire hurricane)
Rich why is the media talking about Smirnoff now? His 1023 has been public for ~2 years. Why report it now?
I can only think of two possible explanations for Gadfly, either he is addicted to watching Rachael Maddow, or somebody similar, whom he trusts completely, and he has an intense fear of looking at primary sources, because they might shake him out of the comfort of his beliefs, or he is simply creating propaganda based on the latest talking points he gets from some central source, there is a third option, but it is too unkind to state directly.
Propagandists prefer it when you write their absurdities off as stupidity, because it's better than them having to reveal their true reasoning. Politicians too.
"if you're unhappy about a decision, don't spend all you time whining bout it,"
I guess that if a law has been in force for 100 years, and never once been used in a case where there was no financial or other harm to any party, but after a century of being interpreted this way, it is decided to be used differently against a political enemy, we Americans are not allowed to complain unless we pony up a half a billion dollars?

"So the MAGA Republican House is basing their investigation of Hunter and President Biden on lies told by a Russian spy."
No. It's based on Hunters own admissions and those of his business partners. And Bidens brother James. Oh. And a laptop that Hunter failed to redeem from a repair shop. The chain of cutody on the laptop is irrefutable.
Are you really this simple?
"Does anybody know where I can find a translation for gibberish?"
Maybe if you didn't limit your news sources to sites that are fanatically loyal to the Democrats, you would understand that the Steele Dossier came from a Russian spy, who was interviewed as opposition research by lawyers paid by the Clinton Campaign, which expenses she falsely, on her campaign filings, put down to "legal expenses."
Here is the source of the Steele Dossier
A Wall Street Journal deep dive reveals that Steele’s central charges were based on idle gossip. Not from intel-community insiders with vast source networks. No: from a trio of unremarkable hacks with zero insight into covert affairs, whose only real connections were to Clinton World.
...
The nonentities were: Dem stalwart and PR man Charles Dolan Jr.; Olga Galkina, paid flack of a Russian tech entrepreneur; and the primary “researcher” on the dossier, Igor Danchenko. - NY Post. The Wall Street Journal is paywalled, or I would link to it directly.
Danchenko, now under indictment for lying to the FBI, passed on these “findings” orally to British ex-spy James Bond Christopher Steele (who’d forbidden him to write notes). Steele then ran with it all, as he (or the Fusion GPS sleaze merchants who’d hired him, after Clinton lawyer Marc Elias hired them) claimed it all came from his supposed Russian sources or, alternately, sources close to Trump. (Steele doesn’t speak Russian, by the way.)
Here is what the CIA knew before the Special Persecutor Mueller even was appointed:
Former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to tie the Trump campaign to Russia as a means of distracting the public from her private email server scandal before the 2016 election, according to newly declassified documents.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes along with a CIA memo showing that officials referred the alleged scheme to the FBI for potential investigation.
I could go on, but I won't, because you clearly don't care about the truth behind RussiaGate or you would be aware of this stuff, which is common knowledge.
Gadfly, you need to try rereading “Altas Shrugged” for comprehension, because if you think Rand’s point that acting selfish is fascism, then you failed. You shouldn’t be proud of expressing such ignorance in public.
Public schooled trolls!
Our Three Stooges?
@ Rich. Recall during the Romney-Obama presidential debate when Mittens declared that Russia was a threat to the US. Barack "Le Magnifique" Obama mocked him by saying the 1980's want their foreign policy back. Well guess what, here they are.
Maybe the reason that Mutaman doesn't know about any of the other evidence against Biden is because of the censorship. For example this link to the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee is censored by Twitter.
https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-releases-third-bank-memo-detailing-payments-to-the-bidens-from-russia-kazakhstan-and-ukraine
If you click on it from twitter, you are given a warning that the link is "unsafe." It's possible that Mutaman lives in such a tightly controlled censorship bubble that he has zero idea of the extent of the case against Biden.
BTW, here is Joe and Hunter Biden meeting with one of Hunter's clients from Kazakhstan. We are told that the picture proves nothing, but Joe said he was never involved in Hunter's business, and meeting with his clients seems to be an involvement, then receiving money from Kazakhstan, when other evidence shows that Hunter set up bio-labs in Ukraine to launder money for this Borat type character seems to be pretty strong evidence that Joe was involved in peddling influence through Hunter, after all, without Joe Biden's position, he once was assigned by Obama to oversee Ukraine, what could a crack head like Hunter do to set up businesses in Ukraine? It's not like he had access to classified documents in his dad's garage strewn about in cardboard boxes, after all.
https://nypost.com/2020/10/20/photo-biden-meets-hunters-alleged-partner-from-kazakhstan/
Just once, I would like to see this kind of tic tac toe evidence in the prosecutions of Trump, instead we are treated to tenuous and bizarre novel legal theories to prove his guilt.
It's funny too, under the "every accusation is a confession" rule, that while Joe and Hunter, "Pedo Pete" and video-documented on his own laptop, pedophile, Hunter, were taking money from a real-life Borat, the movie was used to attack Giulianni. And the fictional Borat was supposed to be handing out children to Republican politicians. They know the truth is out there, so they have to deflect it and try to pin it on the other side.

It is astonishing that anyone thinks Weiss arrest of Smirnov does anything other than question the FBI and DOJ’s incompetence. It is not the GOP that attempted to hide Smirnov as a highly trusted CHS. Weiss should have investigated Smirnov’s comments before Grassley brought it up. Weiss could have investigated when Grassley did bring it up. It wasn’t until late 2023 that Weiss, whose plea deal for Hunter Biden was rejected by a court, opted to look at Smirnov’s evidence and then months later make an arrest. That’s DoJ’s incompetence, but in all that time, the FBI continued to treat Smirnov as a trusted source. The FBI never vetted his intelligence, just like the FBI that didn’t vet Christopher Steele and sat on complaints by world class gymnast that they were being molested.
I see that Commander's desperate strategy to get removed from the Biden household finally succeeded. Pure canine genius. I suspect it was the naked showers and being asked how he liked Joe's hairy legs by comparison that drove him over the edge. Even a German Shepherd can only take so much. (Unlike Gadfly and Rich.)
David Charles Weiss, the person investigating Smirnov, is an American attorney. He was nominated by President Donald Trump to be United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
“I can only think of two possible explanations for Gadfly …”
You have to understand that to Leftists like Gadfly, things are true because he believes them.
Mutaman: "Does anybody know where I can find a translation for gibberish?"
LOL
I'm sorry your 2024 RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA Hoax 2.0 is so transparently pathetic that is was easily dismantled within mere hours.
So you just go on pretending the pushback is "gibberish" all you like.
Imitating gadfly is not a good look...in case you didnt know.
Shipwreckedcrew on X gives us this:
"As a general proposition, the FBI is 100% against indicting sources in the manner that Smirnov has been indicted.
A source found to be untruthful is usually just closed out and "black-balled" -- there is an entry made that the source is not eligible to be re-opened because it has been determined that the source is not reliable or credible. That would dog the source anywhere he/she went to try to provide info for money.
Indicting a source makes recruiting sources much more difficult. They are told their IDs will never be revealed, and there are processes in place to make that true. I know Agents who refused to tell the US Attorney the name of their source even when that prevented a case from going forward. That was the promise that was given for the information.
So I don't think the FBI is a big fan of what Weiss has done here. And laying out all the details about Smirnov they way they have in the detention memo is a huge red flag waving in the wind for anyone now being recruited as sources by FBI agents.
It is also a tool that foreign intelligence services can now use to tell people they are recruiting that "See, you can't trust the FBI and DOJ. They will sell you out when it is in their interest."
More to come on this later in a new Subway Stacker article."
Yep.

One of the Clown Caucus’ witnesses went missing and this one flat out lied about the whole thing and was feeding disinformation from the Kremlin. If the Republican Clown Caucus were capable of good faith arguments, they wouldn't be MAGA conservatives. And they'll still hold a vote over the impeachment of Biden because they are unable to reflect on their own actions. There will be zero humility here. Their test is not "is this true." their test is "will this bring in direct mail fundraising dollars from the rubes”.
"One of the Clown Caucus’ witnesses went missing"
This probably isn't the own you think it is.
But you keep ignoring the actual evidence that has turned up, and keep focusing on the one guy the FBI has accused of lying. It's not helping your case to simply ignore all of the evidence you find uncomfortable.
Hunter is claiming that the laptop was tampered with, even though the FBI has found no evidence that it had been, and you can bet that if they had found such evidence, it would have leaked a long time ago. Leaked, hell, it would have been announced in a news conference.
Hunter and Joe commingled bank accounts, Hunter picked up expenses for Joe, this is all documented. Imagine if we had anything like this on Trump, he would already be in prison, and rightly so.

Good news for you is that much of his story is in Part 1, but if you insist on being lazy, you'll still come here making stupid comments because you didn't get into Part 3. We will know if you read it properly. I know others will compare Trump to Galt and Reardon, but I think d'Anconia is a better fit for what he is willing to endure.

On a recent Sunday, a man dressed in basketball shorts and a black and yellow T-shirt that read “FIGHT CLUB” was summoned to the front of a hired event space in Pomona, California, and invited to climb into an inflatable bathtub to be baptized.
The baptism, which was streamed on Facebook, was led by Pastor Hansel Orzame, a 44-year-old southern Californian and a self-identified Christian Nationalist who leads “Ekklesia; The Unwoke Church.”
The Praying Patriot who was baptized on this recent Sunday in February was named Andrew. Sitting in the bathtub in his clothes, he spoke into a microphone that Orzame held for him, his voice cracking with emotion. Andrew, who has Proud Boy insignia in his personal Telegram profile, explained that he’d recently found God and learned that “true masculinity is in Christ.”
“Christ had the biggest cojones,” said Andrew. “Being men of Christ is being real men. So let’s be real men.”
Looking for scripture help here, I found Hebrews 8:1–2 says: “We have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.”
So Jesus is seated in power, as King and Lord of all, at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus is real, human, risen, glorified, and reigning over all, waiting patiently for all his enemies, in his perfect timing, to be put under his feet. Sorry, but no mention is made of his private parts.
