Beyond Orwell – DC Judge Rules President Trump is Not Permitted to Criticize Trial, Judge, Witnesses or Prosecution


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023 | Sundance

Good luck with this effort!  That’s my thoughts.

Yes, DC Judge Tanya Chutkan can decree from her perch that President Donald Trump is not permitted to criticize his persecution, the court, the witnesses who will testify against him or the political prosecution that is targeting the leading 2024 presidential candidate, but executing that decree is another kettle of fish entirely.

It is one thing to decree your control over independent speech, it is another thing entirely to try and enforce that decree.  Thankfully, and standing firm in his position, President Trump said in response he is “willing to go to jail, if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again.”

(Washington DC) – […] Trump, who opted to campaign in Iowa rather than attend the hearing Monday, has also in recent weeks pointedly attacked several known witnesses in the case. He suggested that one of them, retired Gen. Mark Milley, would have warranted the death penalty in another era, and he repeatedly blasted another, former Attorney General Bill Barr.

Acknowledging Trump’s broad right to weigh in on public policy issues as he pursues a second term in the White House, Chutkan said nevertheless that Trump could not launch a “pretrial smear campaign” against those who might testify against him. She said she would consider “sanctions” if she observes any violations. She did not elaborate on those sanctions, although she said she planned to issue a written order with further details.

The pronouncement raises the prospect that Trump could face punishment — ranging from restrictions on his use of social media all the way up to potential pretrial incarceration — if he continues to mount public attacks on Smith and his team or witnesses likely to testify in his March trial.

Any restrictions against President Trump’s ability to defend himself from political prosecution can be appealed and let the Supreme Court of the United States go on record for or against the rights of the accused.

Biden’s $6 Billion Gift to Iran


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 10, 2023 by Martin Armstron

The Republicans condemned Biden for providing Iran with a $6 billion ransom in exchange for hostages. “This decision will be extremely deadly. Biden is giving $6 billion to the world’s leading sponsor of state terrorism,” Trump said, promising that the funds would be used for immediate violence and to enhance Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The least patriotic president in history provided Iran with the funding on the anniversary of 9/11. He left countless people behind in Afghanistan, but we are to believe he paid $6 billion for the release of five US citizens? This was a mass set up by the neocons to begin the next World War.

We know with direct proof that Biden has received illegal funding from foreign nations. He once accidentally admitted that he has “sold state secrets.” Biden fails to provide his own citizens with humanitarian aid, an excuse that is a direct lie. As Senator John Kennedy once said, “We should let our enemies hate us for free.”  The destruction we witnessed over the weekend is a preview of the destruction to come. Ted Cruz and others believe Biden has been in bed with Iran and exchanging nuclear secrets. “President Biden has established a secret nuclear deal with the Iranian regime that is being kept from Congress and the American people. Today’s news confirms there has already been a side deal including a $6 billion ransom and the release of Iranian operatives,” Cruz wrote in a statement.

Iran provides at least $100 million annually to Palestinian militias, including Hamas. It is no coincidence that the attacks occurred less than a month after this massive money transfer. But wait, is Israel not our ally? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not pleased. “Israel’s position is known, according to which arrangements that do not dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure will not stop its nuclear program and will only provide it with funds that will go to terrorist elements sponsored by Iran,” his office said. Yet, Israel knows that the US and the rest of the Western world will also provide them with a blank check. They fear Iran becoming a nuclear power, but they want Palestine wiped off the map entirely.

The Biden Administration has funded both sides of the Palestine-Israel war. Known Neocon Blinken went on a press tour to insist that the $6 billion surrender did not fund Hamas. The truth is that the Neocons have ignited the flames of war in both Ukraine and now Israel. They have been EAGER to start a global conflict. They may be surprised at what is to come. The computer states that the Neocons and the globalists will not succeed. That leaves all citizens as cannon fodder for their war games. This does not please me, but the computer is expecting major conflict in 2024, and again, this is only the beginning.

President Trump Lawyers File Motion for Dismissal in DC J6 Case on First Constitutional Grounds – Presidential Immunity


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance

UPDATE:  Outline edited as original review cited Mar-a-Lago case, this is DC case.

As expected, the first legal motion to dismiss the DC January 6 case is based on the first constitutional application, presidential immunity. [Full Filing pdf HERE]

President Trump’s attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche say within their first filing that special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case against President Trump is an attempt to criminalize actions that were well within his White House duties, such as enforcing federal election laws.

“The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

[Source pdf]

It is a strong and compelling argument, citing numerous prior cases and rulings on the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional establishment of the President as the absolute power within the executive branch.   The argument hits one of three core tenets that Jack Smith has used to establish his case.

Even left-leaning Politico seems to accept the foundation of the DC Smith case weakens when contrast against the executive power of the president.

[The] prosecutors’ case is really about distinct powers that the president has: communicating with the public, organizing his administration, talking to Congress, enforcing election laws and ensuring the Constitution is faithfully executed. Whether Trump genuinely believed that the election was stolen — which his attorneys say he did — is irrelevant in assessing his immunity from prosecution, they argue.

“This conduct is manifestly part of the President’s responsibilities in our constitutional tradition, and the question whether the President has a formal role in the election certification process makes no difference,” the attorneys wrote.

[…] Trump’s attorneys say there’s an even more fundamental problem with the charges against him: He was acquitted by the Senate in an impeachment trial for similar conduct. That acquittal, they say, renders Trump “absolutely immune” from prosecution for related acts.

“The Impeachment Clauses provide that the President may be charged by indictment only in cases where the President has been impeached and convicted by trial in the Senate,” the attorneys wrote. “Here, President Trump was acquitted by the Senate for the same course of conduct.”

The Senate acquitted Trump despite a 57-43 majority favoring his conviction because of a two-thirds requirement in the Constitution. At the time, Trump was charged with one count — inciting insurrection — related to his speech to a rally crowd that later became the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The impeachment trial came just a month after the attack — and shortly after Trump had left office. (link)

President Trump Responds to Question About Whether He Would Accept Nomination to Be Speaker of House…


Posted originally on the CTH on October 4, 2023 | Sundance 

Prior to heading into court earlier today, President Donald Trump was asked about whether he would accept a nomination to be Speaker of the House if the Republican caucus requested it.  President Trump’s response is below.  WATCH (prompted):

President Trump said he would do whatever is needed to be of interim benefit to the Republican Party and to the House leadership, as the quest for the White House continues. This guy is literally carrying the hopes of the nation, those who comprehend the status of our tenuous constitutional republic, on his shoulders.  Incredible strength.

President Trump is fighting to defend his businesses, fighting to defend his family, fighting to defend himself from malicious prosecution and lawfare, fighting to defend our nation, and fighting to return to the office of the presidency….. and yet, with all of that placed on his shoulders, he’s willing to stand in as Speaker of the House if that is what is in our nation’s best interest.

Let all of that sink in while you pray for him.  Then think of the insignificance of the gnats who would challenge him for office.

Sidenote:  Nice to see Eric Trump standing resolute with President Trump.  Eric was selected by his father to be the leader of the Trump Organization, an excellent choice.

Federal IRS Contractor Arrested for Stealing and Leaking President Trump Tax Returns, Also Stole Thousands of Tax Returns from U.S. Wealthiest People


Posted originally on the CTH on September 30, 2023 | Sundance 

There is no way you can convince me that a federal contractor unlawfully accessing the tax filings of a sitting U.S. President does not immediately send flags throughout the IRS system.

The amount of pretending needed not to see the background of this story is off the charts.

JUSTICE – An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) consultant was charged today with disclosing tax return information without authorization.

According to court documents, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., while working at the IRS as a government contractor, stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official (Public Official A) and disclosed it to a news organization (News Organization 1). Littlejohn also stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals, and disclosed this tax return information to another news organization (News Organization 2).

Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. (read more)

Buckets of Common Sense – President Trump Impromptu Interview Following Michigan Union Speech


Posted originally on the CTH on September 28, 2023 | Sundance 

President Trump was interviewed by NewsMax at the conclusion of his speech to union and trade workers in Michigan.  {Direct Rumble Link Here} The impromptu interview covers a wide variety of topics and includes Trump’s pragmatic advice to the UAW leadership about their contract request.

As President Trump aptly notes, the Biden Green New Deal vehicle mandate for 100% electric vehicles within ten years, will collapse the U.S. auto industry.  It really doesn’t matter how much the union leadership demands for a pay scale, when the job itself will be wiped out.   Other points of pragmatic common sense are throughout this interview, and it is refreshing to hear Trump talk about optimal solutions to big challenges.  WATCH:

We really need President Trump back in office.
