Donald Trump Is Suing Christopher Steele


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

News breaking from The Daily Mail reflects that President Donald Trump has filed a civil action against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder, Christopher Steele. You will likely remember that Chris Steele wrote the infamous “Steele Dossier” that became the underpinning of the Carter Page FISA application, replacing the legally required Woods file.

Interestingly, Trump appears to be using the British court system, and laws around libel actions that are much more beneficial to the plaintiff in the U.K. There is an initial 2-day court hearing scheduled for October 16th.

(Via Daily Mail) Donald Trump is suing a former MI6 officer and the intelligence consultancy he founded, High Court records show.

The former US president is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder Christopher Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia desk.

According to a court order published on Thursday, a two-day hearing in Mr Trump’s legal action is set to start on October 16, which is thought to be the first hearing in the claim. (more)

The layers of possibility within this lawsuit are actually much more remarkable than first review might consider.

Remember, as discovered during the Durham probe, GCHQ refused to assist the CIA and FBI in their construct of the fabricated theory about Trump-Russia.  Additionally, Steele has attempted to distance himself from the ‘dossier’ he created, implying his role was simply to affirm or verify information fed to him from Fusion GPS via Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr.

Plausibly, Steele could claim he simply provided information, material that was false, to Fusion GPS, not knowing what would come of it.  However, in order to take that position, he would need to swear and attest to that set of facts.  That opens questions about conversations between Steele and Glenn Simpson/Nellie Ohr about his material representations – as well as conversations between Steele and the DOJ/FBI about the same.   Names and specifics would have to be outlined in order to escape the libel.

Deposing Chris Steele would be a goldmine of information about how the construct of the narrative was put together.  Who was involved from within the U.S. government and Fusion GPS would be the obvious aspect.  Steele was represented by Adam Waldman, who was also used as an intermediary between Steele and other investigative authorities in the USA.  Waldman and former SSCI Vice Chair staffer, Dan Jones, were working together. Piercing those conversations is yet another layer to peel.

In short, in order for Chris Steele to use the defense against libel, he would have to outline who he was delivering information to, and what was the purpose of the delivery. Steele would also need to walk through each of the points made in his email construction and show origination, supportive material, efforts taken to prove or disprove and subsequent findings.  [Think of the Michael Cohen in Prague false claim as only one small example]

There’s a reason why Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller never went near Chris Steele during their construct of the Mueller report.  They well understood that Lawfare required plausible deniability.  This, despite the fact that on June 29, 2017, Mueller and Weissmann used the dossier for the final FISA renewal – a point missed by all except for the deepest weed walkers.

POINT missed by EVERYONE:  How could Mueller/Weissmann use the Steele dossier for a FISA renewal, and then say Chris Steele was, “outside their purview“?

I think there would be a lot of pro-bono research aides who would love to work on this lawsuit.  Just sayin’…

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.

BREAKING: Activist DC District Judge Tanya Chutkan Refuses to Step Down from Trump Case in Washington DC


Posted originally on the CTH on September 27, 2023 | Sundance 

This was not unexpected.  For Chutkan to recuse herself she would have to admit “bias.”  Judge Chutkan denies she carries bias, ergo she refuses to recuse herself from the Trump prosecution.  [SEE Ruling HERE]

[Read Ruling Here]

Please keep in mind all judges in the DC District expected this.  That’s why they sat in the back of the courtroom during the Trump indictment proceedings. {Go Deep}

While she worked for Boies Schiller, her firm represented Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS against Congress.  {Go Deep} Additionally, Boies Schiller was representing Hunter Biden in his legal defense.  Chutkan is enmeshed in the original Russiagate storyline and the later developing Hunter Biden storyline, in addition to her activist work against the J6 defendants.

President Trump Attorneys Present Beautiful Rebuttal Motion to Jack Smith Gag Order Request


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Eloquence in litigation is an art form.  Court motions and pleading that blend eloquence with deliberate and diplomatic snark are masterpieces.  Thus, the exceptional nature of President Trump’s response motion to the demands of a gag order by Special Counsel Jack Smith is a master class in linguistic evisceration.  I stand impressed.

As some, perhaps more than a few readers here will remember, I have studied the written motions of one specific DC litigator enough to detect his presence, form and style.  Please do yourself a favor and read the 25-page response motion HERE and raise a glass.

[Read More]

I am not a lawyer, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night.  However, I have spent thousands of hours reading court filings, and one specific style of writing is very familiar to me.  If this is not from the ghost pen of Eric Dubelier, then whoever did write it has trained his/her argumentative intellect on the same turf.

Do not cheat yourself out of the joy of reading the full motion.  It is awesome. [SEE HERE]

If it’s not Dubes, it’s definitely Dubes-worthy.

In the background CTH is not alone in sending bat signals to the Dubes. I hope, pray, and smile at the guiding possibility.

President Trump Widens Lead Over Joe Biden – GOP Field Not Even Close


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2023 | Sundance

There are a few interesting aspects about this Harris/Messenger poll [DATA HERE] that merit some discussion. First, the poll itself is a large sample size with solid cross tabs and demographics. This is not a media poll.

Second, the sample of independent voters is slightly less than norm. That means the actual reality of the Trump -vs- Biden portion of the poll is better than the result that is reflected. Independants increasingly favor Donald Trump. That said, this poll affirms previous recent polling showing that Trump is widening his lead amid all of the key demographics that matter. All good news for team Trump.

The poll, taken September 13-19 among 3,015 registered voters, found that Trump led Biden, 46%-41%. The margin of error was plus or minus 1.8 percentage points. (link)

[Data Link]

On the Republican primary it’s not even close, and even more people are starting to wonder now why any challenger remains in the race.  With a clear party frontrunner this far ahead, all of the gnat challengers are simply hurting themselves. The longer this continues the more diminished their influence.

The donors and billionaires have come to the same conclusion, as shared in a rather lengthy NBC report yesterday. It’s not the campaigns. It’s not the consultants. It’s not the candidates….  It’s the voters.  The formidable scale of the MAGA base voter has just worn down the Republican Party apparatus.

[Via NBC] – […] There is no major anti-Trump super PAC or significant donor financing a push to topple him as the party’s leader, and there is concern that, at this point, spending financial or political capital to undercut Trump is a fool’s errand. 

In fact, the two major outside political organizations running ads urging voters to move away from Trump have so far not lived up to the mass anti-Trump spending campaign that some in the party had hoped for. 

Five months out from the primary here, the anti-Trump effort is fragmented and weakened as no other Republican presidential candidate is able to even come close to the former president in the polls, despite his legal troubles. 

And it’s not just South Carolina. Nationally, the hypothetical anti-Trump cavalry within the Republican Party has yet to materialize, and GOP strategists tell NBC News that it may be too late. 

Even when a conservative group does try to hit Trump, it’s often nothing more than a glancing blow and focused on concerns about his ability to beat President Joe Biden. In fact, one spot this summer from one of those groups started with a voter saying, “I love Donald Trump.” (more)

Narrative Combat: Maria Bartiromo -vs- Matt Gaetz


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2023 | Sundance 

It was only a matter of time before we see why Rupert Murdoch kept Council on Foreign Relations member Maria Bartiromo on staff.  Today Ms. Bartiromo showed her GOPe bona fides with a full-throated defense of Kevin McCarthy and the effort to fund government by continuing resolution.

As the combative interview takes place, pay *CLOSE* attention to the glimpses of Ms. Bartiromo’s ¹phone that appear in her screen shot.  I will bet you a donut Kevin McCarthy was texting her in real time with instructions on what to say to Matt Gaetz.  WATCH:

Washington Post/ABC Poll Shows President Trump With 10 Point Lead Over Joe Biden


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2023 | Sundance 

At a lengthy dinner last night, this was part of the conversation.  In my remarks I shared that Donald Trump had gained approximately 20% more support amid the average voting base for 2024 than he retained in 2020.  This puts the margin of voter fraud needed to defeat Trump in 2024 at a level that cannot be achieved.

This visible scale of support is also one of the baseline datapoints explaining why Barack Obama is slowly exiting from the Biden influence operation.  Obama knows when to exit and avoid the collateral damage.

I drive home, check alerts and news…. and THERE IT IS.  A new Washington Post/ABC poll [DATA HERE] showing President Trump with a 10-point lead over Joe Biden 52 to 42.

[Source]

The Washington Post spends the majority of their article trying to reconcile their polling result as an “outlier.”  However, all of the underlying results on favorability, top issues to voters, and even the preferred republican primary are identical to all other polling.  The topline result of Trump -v- Biden, is not an outlier.  It is the reality.

President Trump has broadened his base appeal and expanded the aligned MAGA support group.  Trump dominates in younger voters and every demographic, with massive gains in Latino and Black voter support.  In essence, the Trump voting block is statistically too large for voter fraud to bury.   All of these are excellent results.

Conversely, Biden is responsible for the chaos represented in the collapse of support.  The Biden economy is hurting the average working-class voter.  The border is in a state of crisis and the throw everything into the radical policy mix, has created widespread trouble for Americans.  Biden cannot win in 2024, period.

WASHINGTON POST – […] The Post-ABC poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle, although the sizable margin of Trump’s lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat. The difference between this poll and others, as well as the unusual makeup of Trump’s and Biden’s coalitions in this survey, suggest it is probably an outlier. (read more)

The pressure is mounting to get rid of Biden.  The Washington Post is assisting in that effort.

Leadership – Staying in the Eye of the Storm


Posted originally on the CTH on September 23, 2023 | Sundance 

From real life requested conversations in the last few days, some of the discussion is worth sharing.

Knowing who you are, I mean really knowing what your core center of values and purpose is about, is very important as the storms of constructed chaos swirl around us.

Like a national hurricane, everything swirling around us seems chaotic and mad right now. The chaos is purposeful and comes from a multitude of directions almost simultaneously. However, also like a national hurricane it is possible to stay calm in the eye of the storm; but only if you are truly centered to the guiding elements of life that create the core purpose.

Faith in a loving and purposeful God grounds the soul to the truest of true things. Do not diminish this importance.

Those who use the skills of division to achieve their chaotic purpose, well understand that isolation -the dark imagining- first begins with a rejection of God. Therefore, put God into everything; spend time with Him, and not just at the prescheduled times of worship. Put God into your life, keep Him there, and take purposeful action in every moment to ensure the armor plate He provides is with you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Once you have that anchor solidly in place, then resolve to maintain your core values. “Resolve” is a misunderstood word; it is not a static sensibility. Resolve is an action-oriented word that takes thought, practice and internal reminding mechanisms. The core values are not only what you believe, but also who you are, who you present yourself to be to those around you.

Standing steadfast with your guiding principles and values in place, then establishes your ability to withstand chaos and remain on mission. Your family, friends, allies and supporters will navigate the crisis as long as you are resolute. This doesn’t mean you are not flexible, flexibility to the dynamics of the moment is necessary. However, holding that true compass heading will keep your purpose well defined.

You will be tested, sometimes brutally, and you will be tempted to get pulled away from the core purpose of your effort and into the surrounding foray, but this is where the active decision to remain resolute comes into play.

You must actively be the lighthouse in order for those who need you to navigate toward it. The lighthouse doesn’t reach out or change location to make itself more directionally visible for those in need. You cannot control their view; the lighthouse remains consistent and steadfast, and those who need the waypoint will find a way to get it back into sight.

We are living in an era of purposeful crisis. The situations we discuss are chaotic and mad, because they have been purposefully created to be that way. The counter-effort to combat this seemingly perpetual crisis is to refuse to be destabilized by what they manufacturer.  Stay on mission.

This advice flows purposefully toward many.  In this context it is about leadership, and the massive efforts underway by those with bad intent to target the leadership of groups and organizations whose purpose is to combat the chaos.  However, the same advice is personal and can be attributed to those who are in a position to protect their family, their community or their civic assembly.

Our nation needs strong leaders, and I’m not talking about politicians.  We need strong mules who will plow into fields that have never been attempted before.  Train yourself mentally to withstand the turmoil and lead your family, friends, group, tribe or community with a fierce and unrelenting resolve.

Despite the chaos they create, our national adversaries are weak people devoid of pure character.  Their arguments are shallow, filled with hypocrisy and they rely upon you to pretend their creation is real or holds merit; it is not, and it doesn’t.

Do not give value to the shallow constructs of evil intent and use brutal honesty in a very public way to expose them.

No flinching!

That is all.
