EX-PRESIDENT INDICTED

[Swerd]

Doing it without a vote certainly looks weak. From the NYT article:

>>>The apparent decision not to seek a vote was a tacit acknowledgment by Mr. McCarthy that he lacks the numbers to do so amid G.O.P. divisions. Several Republicans, including those from districts Mr. Biden won, have indicated they did not support an impeachment inquiry unless investigators could tie the business dealings of Hunter Biden, the president’s son who engaged in transactions with overseas firms, to his father, or uncover evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors.<<<

It's not clear that anyone in the senate is in favor of this:

Senate Republicans say the House GOP doesn’t appear to have enough evidence to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Biden and are skeptical about the prospect of setting up an inquiry w…

It certainly looks like a futile effort at impeachment. I can only imagine that McCarthy et al. are ineptly motivated by revenge that appeals only to their MAGA backers.

It certainly looks like a futile effort at impeachment. I can only imagine that McCarthy et al. are ineptly motivated by revenge that appeals only to their MAGA backers.

One could say “It’s a fool’s errand.” McCarthy is no doubt qualified for the job.

>>>“It’s a waste of time. It’s a fool’s errand,” one Senate Republican said on the condition of anonymity to speak freely and critically about the politically charged decision.

The senator said even if the House did vote to impeach Biden after an inquiry, there is no way the Senate, controlled by Democrats, would vote to convict.

“Fortunately, it’ll be dispensed with fairly quickly if they ever send articles of impeachment over to us,” the GOP senator said. “We know how this is going to end. It just creates tumult within the conference. I can see it already how people are going to react when they send a message over if they go that far.”<<<

Trump apparently relies on small donors because the big donors aren't dumb enough to pay his legal bills for him.

>>>Former President Donald Trump's political operation may be bleeding money as it tries to cover millions of dollars in legal fees, but the GOP frontrunner has an important asset that none of his rivals appear to possess: a massive, renewable pool of small-dollar donor money.<<<

Donald Trump's indictment-fueled throng of small donors looms over rivals

The former president’s legal woes are putting financial strain on his political operation. But he can call on the support of more donors than the rest of the GOP field combined.

The big money probably also expects Trump to lose in 2024. There's little point in throwing away money on a loser.

This article is consistent with my suspicions that the big money does not want to throw money away on a loser (AKA Trump).

So no Müller quality of investigation and report as a base for a likely impeachment?

Nor any quality of investigation.

 

[Swerd]

Nor any quality of investigation.

The quality of investigation is unquestionable … unquestionably bad. So far, Gym Shorts Jordan and his gang of crack investigators have been laughably inept. He reminds me of the kid running a footrace with his shoelaces untied.

The GOP's sole purpose is to keep investigating right up to election day next year. They think they don't have to find anything, but smear & innuendo.

Jordan, MTG, "weaponization" -- a good sign of their authenticity.

What a corrupt system! I mean...why not just poison your rivals? Or, chuck 'em out a window?

I originally meant to say "crack gang of investigators" but now that I read it, "gang of crack investigators" also has appeal .

I'm not so sure this is a "major blow" to the district attorney, but a judge in the Georgia case just ruled that all 19 defendants will not be tried together.

>>>A state judge Thursday rejected prosecutors’ request to try all 19 defendants together in the Georgia 2020 election interference case next month. . . .

McAfee’s ruling means former President Trump will not be tried in October alongside at least two of his co-defendants who invoked their right to a speedy trial.

It marks a major blow to District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who repeatedly urged McAfee to keep the defendants together and try them at the same time. . . .

Chesebro and Powell’s joint trial is set for Oct. 23 — the first trial on charges alleging a criminal enterprise was formed to keep Trump in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election. <<<

Ivanka reportedly made fun of his comb-over:

>>>She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.<<<

This morning, I noticed this unusual article in the The Washington Post. It had nothing directly to do with Trump and his 91 criminal charges, but it did make me wonder …

CARACAS, Venezuela — When 11,000 soldiers and police officers stormed Venezuela’s Tocorón prison this month, they discovered a professional baseball field, swimming pools, children’s play equipment — even a small zoo, with monkeys and flamingos.

They also found concrete tunnels in and out, just like in the onetime Mexican prison home of the Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. And 200 women and children, living on the grounds. What they didn’t find was Tocorón’s most notorious inmate: Héctor “El Niño” Guerrero.
Guerrero, 39, heads Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization spawned in the prison that has spread across Latin America with the Venezuelan diaspora — its principal victims.

I wonder if Trump's people are now contacting Héctor “El Niño” Guerrero's people about constructing similar accommodations in a Federal or Georgia State prison ?
