Trump’s Special Master


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Sep 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

A federal judge on Monday agreed to appoint a special master to review records seized by the FBI during its search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate, a move that is likely to delay the Justice Department’s criminal investigation. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in West Palm Beach, Florida, granted Trump’s request for a special master. This was an important ruling because it interjects an independent third party who is ABSOLUTELY needed in this case. She states that the review materials could be covered by the attorney-client privilege. (her ruling).

However, some are posting that the Democrats lost and this means they will not be able to indict Trump. That is true from the standpoint of federally prior to the election. However, I do not believe was ever the risk. To indict, they would have to submit evidence to a Grand Jury. I don’t think that was likely before the election without fake charges. The RISK of an indictment for political purposes will be for taxes in New York and election issues in Georgia. Both are launched by Democrats.

The SPECIAL MASTER is so necessary because the problem with such a raid is that the FBI gets to make the pretend inventory. They could claim they found child pornography on his computers. This is the problem for the FBI “raid” was political. In my own case, they did the same. They NEVER provided ANY inventory of what they took from the office. In my case, they then conveniently claimed everything was destroyed in the World Trade Center. They took all the tapes from my office where in the industry the line is recorded so nobody can say you said buy when you said sell.

What was on those tapes was enough to send many in New York to prison for 20 years+ admitting to even bribing Russian officials to recall Platinum for a trade. Hence, the REAL significance of a Special Master is he will now review what the FBI actually took and there will have to be a real live inventory. That was a MAJOR victory. It will also open the door to exposing the validity of the entire search. When Judge McKenna was trying to protect me and order the government to explain what I was even being charged with, the government had him removed from my case so they did not have to answer and put in a pro-government judge who would do as they told him. They sealed the record so I have no idea what even the arguments were to remove the judge.

Trust me. In a high-profile case, the judge does as they are told. For Trump to with this motion for a Special Master, in a normal case, that is one in a million. This has led to such a risk of major civil discord, I believe the Judge had no choice. She was ALSO not the magistrate, assistant to a judge basically, who granted the search. A magistrate could not hold a trial. They are the lower level people who grant bank of will rubber-stamp a search warrant as took place here.

Additionally, if she denied the Special Master, Trump would have appealed and p[probably could have been at the Supreme Court before the election. Even MORE significant, this was granted on a HOLIDAY – meaning this was the emergency judge delivering this opinion.

Federal Judge Notes in Special Master Order a Quoted DOJ Citation That Joe Biden Ordered FBI Access to Mar-a-Lago Documents


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 5, 2022 | sundance 

Page #2 and Page #3 of Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling cites a quote from the DOJ own legal filing, dated May 10th, that Joe Biden ordered the National Archives and Records Administration to provide access to the FBI to review the Trump records.  Note the quotation marks:

On May 10, 2022, NARA informed Plaintiff that it would proceed with “provid[ing] the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022.”  [citation]

August 24, 2022, Joe Biden was questioned about how much notice he had regarding the FBI raid on President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

Question: “Mr. President, how much advanced notice did you have of the FBI’s plan to search Mar-a-Lago?

BIDEN: “I didn’t have any advanced notice. None, zero, not one single bit.”

Angry Joe Biden Shouts He Beat Big Pharma This Year, by Providing them Billions and Forcing their Vaccinations on Americans


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 5, 2022 | sundance

Joe Biden was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today, to shout at forcibly assembled union workers and celebrate Labor Day.  In the middle of his prepared remarks to the crowd at Laborfest, where labor unions and their members gather annually, Biden exploded in an angry rant proclaiming he had defeated Big Pharma this year.

Even if you overlook the unstable nature of the delivery, it is somewhat of an odd outburst given the fact that his administration gave tens of billions to Big Pharma in the past 20 months, forced American workers to accept Big Pharma vaccines, and facilitated the biggest windfall profit for Big Pharma in history.   If that’s what Joe Biden considers “beating big pharma,” well, I certainly can’t fathom what winning would look like.  WATCH:

Federal Judge Orders Appointment of Special Master to Oversee Documents from FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 5, 2022 | sundance 

U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida, Aileen M. Cannon, has ordered a special master to “review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege and make recommendations thereon, and evaluate claims for return of property,” related to the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. [pdf Ruling Here]

There are interesting aspects outlined within the 24-page ruling that deconstruct the position of the Dept of Justice and media, including a footnote [fn5] stating Trump lawyers asked for a special master appointment on the morning after the raid.

Within the ruling [pg 9] Judge Cannon outlines the issues at the heart of the legal matter, including the government taking President Trump’s personal medical records which has nothing to do with the nature of the warrant.

According to the Privilege Review Team’s Report, the seized materials include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information. … The Government also has acknowledged that it seized some “[p]ersonal effects without evidentiary value” and, by its own estimation, upwards of 500 pages of material potentially subject to attorney-client privilege.”

The DOJ was previously questioned in court about justice dept leaks to media creating an unfair and prejudicial bias against President Trump. The DOJ lawyers denied leaking yet admitted the media reports were evidence that someone within the organization was leaking information to the media, thereby creating a framework of public opinion the defendant cannot easily refute. Cannon writes:

“the Court takes into account the undeniably unprecedented nature of the search of a former President’s residence; Plaintiff’s inability to examine the seized materials in formulating his arguments to date; Plaintiff’s stated reliance on the customary cooperation between former and incumbent administrations regarding the ownership and exchange of documents; the power imbalance between the parties; the importance of maintaining institutional trust; and the interest in ensuring the integrity of an orderly process amidst swirling allegations of bias and media leaks.”

Judge Cannon also cited examples of the DOJ review team failing in their duty to separate attorney-client privilege material.

In appointing the special master, Judge Cannon pauses the government from continuing to exploit the documents seized, writing, “Furthermore, in natural conjunction with that appointment, and consistent with the value and sequence of special master procedures, the Court also temporarily enjoins the Government from reviewing and using the seized materials for investigative purposes pending completion of the special master’s review or further Court order.”  The order, though, “shall not impede the classification review and/or intelligence assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (“ODNI”) as described in the Government’s Notice of Receipt of Preliminary Order.”

The Mar-a-Lago Event, Part Three


The attached paper is a continuing and reasonable analysis of the events from August 30, 2022 to September 2, 2022 which is an event that will change the Republic forever. In this mad rush to save the planet from total destruction from green house gas emissions from carbon base fuels the worlds politicians are dismantling Western Civilization. Former President Trump is a major obstacle to Klaus Schwab, and his fellow radicals in the World Economic Form (WEF) e.g. George Soros, Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci have decided to take him out any way they can since he is the only one that can stop them.

Happy Marxist Day


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Sep 5, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

On June 28th, 1882, President Grover Cleveland signed S. 730 law declaring Labor Day a national holiday. This was the era of Marxism as it was rising to become a popular theory.  Indeed, when the Panic of 1893 unfolded, there was a great uprising in Marxism as always blamed the capitalists for the depression. In 1848, Marx published his Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei originally in German in London. The first English-language edition was published in 1850. Since then, editions have been published in many languages worldwide. Ironically, it was one Pi Cycle from 1850 to 1882 to create Labor Day in the spirit of Marxism. The next Pi Cycle lines up with 2040.

So while Marxism was the dominant theory during the second half of the 19th century, our Wokeism and Cancel Culture have led to Juneteenth as a Holiday. Perhaps with every popular theory that emerges, we will get another Holliday. Curious to say the least.

CBS Broadcasts Discussion with MAGA Republican Focus Group


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 4, 2022 | sundance

The Demoncrats have nothing positive to campaign about for the 2022 midterm election cycle, despite what they consider legislative agenda victories.  The biggest legislative ‘win’ per se’, was the passage of a smaller package Green New Deal climate change agenda, which is not popular overall because it is further driving up the cost of energy prices.

All of the polling and generic focus group support shows the policy side of the Democrat agenda is a net negative for the party.   Their energy and economic policies, in combination with the spending, has driven inflation through the roof.   Main Street voters of all persuasions are feeling the impact of Biden/democrat agenda items.  With no positive outcomes, the only thing left is to frame the opposition and give voters something to vote against.  That’s the motive behind the political attacks on MAGA.

CBS Major Garrett broadcasts a focus group interview with three MAGA supporters as part of the larger media alignment with Democrat midterm strategy.  It would be interesting to see the full unedited segment, because Mary, bottom right of screen has some great points that you can tell were cut out of the discussion.  WATCH:

.

Whenever I review a focus group interview, it is always interesting to align the nature of the points delivered against where the possible group member would be gathering their information.  Obviously, I have no idea, it’s just a fun exercise. In this group it would look something like this: (1) a potential reader of Gateway Pundit; (2) a person who listens to Fox News and Sean Hannity; and (3) a deeper researched argument, and understanding with historical context, like CTH.

Sunday Talks, Scraping the Bottoms, Raddatz and Crew Cry MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, as Midterm Alinsky Effort Continues


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 4, 2022 | sundance

Saul Alinsky wrote their rulebook, and they still use it.  Rule #6 within ‘Rules for Radicals,’ for targeting the opposition: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize; define terms and keep repeating.

ABC’s Martha Raddatz and former Atlanta Mayor, current White House Senior Advisor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, present their “discussion” of Joe Biden’s hate-filled, extremist and intolerant Red Sermon from last week.  ABC Presents this week as the “Kickoff to Midterms.”

Within the six-minute interview Raddatz and Bottoms say the word “MAGA” a total of 42 times, that is about once every ten seconds.  Yes, they are predictable, but these people are also very weird.  The Democrats have nothing to run on, so the strategy is to create something to run against.  WATCH:
