Trump Investigations Thread

[edgeworthy]

Looks like we have a mistrial here if this is true. A juror told his cousin they were going to find Trump guilty. I do not have more info on this but...

As this seems to be based on a sh*tpost on twitter, this appears unlikely?

Trump never FORCED the Vax on people. That was all Biden and Co.

Yes,but agreed to lockdowns.When after 2-3 months it was obvious,that CV 19 is just worst flu,not ebola.
He should fire Faulci when it become obvious.

I recall him trying to get the states to reopen but the blue ones refused to. Didn't California only lift it's covid stuff like a year ago or something?

It was left up to the individual states to do that.

Still should fire Faulci.Or,even better,check his activity in Wuhan and send him to the prison.

I'm praying that what's happened between Fauci and the rest of the 'doctors' that pushed this Vax on everyone come to light for EVERYONE, and that people start going to jail and losing every penny they've ever earned.

Well with the hearings in congress the Republicans are doing they will probably go after them if the election goes well and we get a non corrupt justice department.

But I'm not holding my breath.

the classified docs case was just tossed, citing an improper appointment of the special prosecutor.

Even better, that will be appealed to SCOTUS, and also deal with the Washington DC case. The Georgia Supreme Court will dismiss the Georgia case. All that's left is the NY case, which will be retried.

For a CNN article link if one prefers reading. Key highlights:

"In the end, it seems the Executive's growing comfort in appointing 'regulatory' special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny," Cannon wrote.

Justice Clarence Thomas threw his support behind the theory, writing in a footnote in the high court's presidential immunity decision that there are "serious questions whether the Attorney General has violated that structure by creating an office of the Special Counsel that has not been established by law. Those questions must be answered before this prosecution can proceed."

Cannon said in her order that the special counsel's position "effectively usurps" Congress' "important legislative authority" by giving it to the head of a department – DOJ, in this case – to appoint such an official.

"If the political branches wish to grant the Attorney General power to appoint Special Counsel Smith to investigate and prosecute this action with the full powers of a United States Attorney, there is a valid means by which to do so," she wrote.

Cannon said in her ruling Monday that the Justice Department "could reallocate funds to finance the continued operation of Special Counsel Smith's office," but said it's not yet clear whether a newly-brought case would pass legal muster.

"For more than 18 months, Special Counsel Smith's investigation and prosecution has been financed by substantial funds drawn from the Treasury without statutory authorization, and to try to rewrite history at this point seems near impossible," Cannon wrote. "The Court has difficulty seeing how a remedy short of dismissal would cure this substantial separation-of-powers violation, but the answers are not entirely self-evident, and the caselaw is not well developed."

She noted in her ruling that Smith's team "suggested" at a court hearing on the matter that they could restructure the office's funding to satisfy her concerns.
