All Trump All The Time 🌻 🌻 🌻

Legal Morass: Trump flew to Washington yesterday where he was once again fingerprinted but not photographed because who needs another picture of the mango maniac? Few of his MAGAs showed up to greet him but press from everywhere was out in OJ level force as was fellow Republican presidential candidate and hanger on Vivek Ramaswamy.  Trump was accompanied by valet Walt Nauta, one of the indicted co-conspirators on his Mar a Lago case and Evan Corcoran, who is still on his legal team even though he can no longer represent him on the MAL case, the result of being called as a witness to Trump’s hide the purloined documents shenanigans. The legal team for the Washington DC case is being led by Todd Blanche and newest lawyer John Lauro both of whom have US Attorney office experience.  In addition to defending Trump in court, Lauro’s responsibilities include playing TV lawyer so last night he appeared on both Fox and Newsmax where, taking a page from Rudy Giuliani’s playbook, he admitted that Trump had interfered with the electoral ballot process, but since all he did was just try to “pause the voting and allow the state legislatures to take one last look and make a determination whether or not the elections were handled fairly” it was okay because if that “pause” took weeks, months or even years Trump had no problem remaining in office for another term or eternity while all those election issues were resolved   And anyway, submitting false sets of electoral ballots was okay because Trump can’t be blamed for following the advice of his kraken lawyers, the ones pushing what his aide Jason Miller called “conspiracy shit from the mothership,” rather than listening to his “too honest” VP Mike Pence or his Department of Justice, excepting of course environmental lawyer and Attorney General wannabee Jeffrey Clark, who together with those kraken lawyers is one of the six unindicted, well unindicted so far, co-conspirators. It’s pretty much been confirmed that Boris Epshteyn, another lawyer, is number six on that list hardly an endorsement of the legal profession. Circling back to Nauta, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team has asked Judge “loose” Cannon to schedule a hearing on whether or not his lawyer, Stanley Woodward, is too conflicted to represent him in the Mar a Lago case.  Woodward has represented at least seven others that Smith’s team has interviewed for the MAL case, two of whom are expected to testify for the government. Forcing Nauta to get a new lawyer will slow down the case but could also put pressure on Nauta to cooperate with the government.  In any case, it’s not clear that Special Jack is all that concerned about slowing down the MAL case since all indications are that he’s pushing for the Washington DC case put on the fast track, and since presiding Judge Tanya Chutkan plans to set a start date rather soon, it’s more likely than not that, he’ll get his wish. Of course, Trump’s lawyers aren’t on board for that, their preference is that it, like the Florida case, the DC case get pushed off as far into the future as possible.  They also want the case moved to Trump plus 40 West Virginia.  Lastly, Mike Pence, who took notes of his conversations with Trump, is finally speaking out possibly because he has no choice, he’s so far down in the polls that pushing his “honesty” may be his only option and in all likelihood, he will be one of the witnesses testifying against Trump in the DC case.

Florida, Florida, Hunter: So now taking AP Psychology is no longer an option for high school students in Florida because the College Board refuses to delete the part of the course that discusses gender identity and sexuality, both verboten subjects for Florida youth.  Also, pushing diversity is no longer a thing in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the area that houses Disney World. because following directions from Governor/presidential wannabee Ron DeSantis, the Reddy board has slashed the budget for diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, hardly a surprise from the Governor who continues to insist that slavery wasn’t all bad because how else were all those slaves going to learn trades?  Having learned little from their $800 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox is once again cozying up to Trump in an effort to get him to participate in the primary debates, the first of which is scheduled to air on Fox because ratings.  And naturally, Republican leadership especially in the House, with Fox and the Murdochs onboard for the ride, continue to push that only real problem is the Biden Crime Family.  To be fair, Hunter is a problem, but despite all the investigations into him and his laptop, the problem is Hunter not his dad.  It appears that what the House Republicans have on Joe Biden is that while watching his son Beau die and in the aftermath of his death, he checked in and spoke with Hunter almost every day. The family first party has a really hard time understanding that.
