Judge Cannon Slaps Down Special Counsel Effort for Special Lawfare Rules Restricting Trump (or Take Him to Prison Until Trial)…


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

I will say it until people understand.  Lawfare is a specially constructed approach to weaponize the judiciary to create narratives for public consumption; it is the abnormal and twisted application of granular legal language, and as a result it requires oddball motions to support it.

The DOJ previously filed a motion for “Special Conditions of Release” to restrict President Trump’s defense from knowing or discussing the super-secret evidence and witnesses the special prosecutor plans to use against him.  The motion was essentially that if President Trump refused the super special terms and conditions of the motion, then Judge Cannon should put him in leg irons in federal prison until he can be tried and convicted.

The special counsel wants everything kept under seal, quiet and invisible to the public so the omnipotent arbiters of justice can appropriately shape the narrative they prefer.

The Jack Smith team cannot have President Trump being all uncontrolled, willy-nilly and making fun of their case, while talking about his targeting in such a manner as their super-secret witnesses would be exposed to such duplicitous snark and horrible influence.

To maintain the evolving narrative du-jour, a special motion to make President Trump double-secret probationary swear to the special rules is required.

Trying to trick President Trump into signing an agreement never to expose the witnesses to his horrible, terrible, defensive statements, essentially forbidding him from doing anything that would lead to the witnesses being exposed to his words, ie. block him from public or television appearances lest the witnesses are exposed to his statements, the special prosecutors wanted a signed statement they could use against him if he spoke about stuff at a rally or event.

Thankfully, Judge Cannon saw through the stupidity of the Lawfare effort. Her paperless retort is essentially, ‘just use the ordinary legal motions please‘.

PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice Government’s Motion to Implement Special Condition of Release. The Government seeks an order implementing a special condition of bond related to Defendants’ (Trump and Nauta) communication with eighty-four listed witnesses about the facts of the case, except through counsel.

The Government conditions its request on the filing of the non-exhaustive list under seal. Defendants take no position on the Government’s seal request but reserve the right to object to the special condition and the manner by which the Government intends to implement it.

In the meantime, numerous news organizations have moved to intervene to oppose the Government’s Motion to File Witness List Under Seal, citing the First Amendment and related legal principles.

Upon review of the foregoing materials, the Government’s Motion is denied without prejudice, and the Motion to Intervene and accompanying Motions to Appear Pro Hac Vice are denied as moot.

The Government’s Motion does not explain why filing the list with the Court is necessary; it does not offer a particularized basis to justify sealing the list from public view; it does not explain why partial sealing, redaction, or means other than sealing are unavailable or unsatisfactory; and it does not specify the duration of any proposed seal. The Clerk is directed to return the Pro Hac Vice fees to the filing attorneys. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 6/26/2023.

Convicted Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins Was Set Up by Federal Agent Posing as “1% Watchdog”


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

I do not know all the details of her case, trial and subsequent conviction; however, I do know Jessica Watkins and other Oath Keeper members were entrapped by a federal agent organizing activity under the username “1% Watchdog.” I am certain of this element because the J6 committee falsely accused me of being that user. {GO DEEP}

The Gateway Pundit ran an article today [SEE HERE] which includes an interview from prison with Ms. Watkins, who continues to claim her innocence. Ms. Watkins gave an interview to Flip the Switch with Jenn {Direct Rumble Linkvideo and audio below:

Again, I do not know Ms. Watkins or any of her allies and associates.  However, the subpoena I received from the J6 Commitee, specifically identified her as one of the people they falsely claimed I was associated with.  I have unredacted her name from the subpoena below in the hopes that her legal team (if any) can see the value it presents.

I have written about the entrapment issue HERE, as well as the value that should be clearly evident.  Counselors – On behalf of your client(s) file a motion with the judge requesting a court order compelling Zello to give up the registration records of the ‘Stop the Steal J6’ channel.  This will identify the person behind “1% Watchdog”.  If federal prosecutors fight the request for the court order, well: (a) there’s your answer; and (b) take the next step of using the preexisting congressional subpoena as evidence to support your compulsion.

When I received the subpoena, it held no value because it was gibberish.  Nothing in the subpoena is materially correct, accurate or pertaining to me.  However, pay attention to the red box on the page shown. This is essentially the probable cause that justifies the subpoena itself.

 [ FULL BACKGROUND ]

Everything revolves around the identity of the person behind the “1% watchdog” user id.

According to the subpoena whoever started the Zello channel with the user id “1% watchdog”, is the person who organized many of the J6 events.   Essentially, 1% is the canary in the coal mine of multiple investigations.

As you can see from the subpoena, investigators told me they had “public-source and documents on file with the committee” attributing me to the user id “1% Watchdog.”

Before the federal investigators admitted their mistake, and then urgently wanted to dispatch any further contact with me, they informed me that statements on Twitter and other social media platforms were used in tracking the 1% Watchdog identity to me.

In my humble opinion, and applying Occam’s Razor, “1% Watchdog” was/is a federal agent.  What other motive would a person carry to fabricate their identity, create false bona fides, if not to influence a sense of trust in their target audience?

It looks to me like Jessica Watkins and perhaps others, were solicited by user account “1% watchdog,” who in my estimation was working for the government.  This is a classic case of entrapment.  The Zello “stop the steal channel” was likely a federal operation.

I repeat…. Counselors – On behalf of your client(s) file a motion with the judge requesting a court order compelling Zello to give up the registration records of the ‘Stop the Steal J6’ channel.  This will identify the person behind “1% Watchdog”.

If federal prosecutors fight the request for the court order, well: (a) there’s your answer; after all, if this person was doing such horrible insurrection things, wouldn’t the feds want to know who that person is?  And (b) take the next step of using the preexisting congressional subpoena, fraught with false attribution, as evidence to support your compulsion.   The former investigative attribution was wrong, use their investigative mistake to find the identity of the person who set up Jessica Watkins and others.

Jack Smith Reverses Course, Asks Florida Judge to Delay Trial Against President Trump


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

If you accept a very specific outlook into the mindset of the Lawfare operatives (Weissmann, Eisen, Berke, McCord et al) as strategic thinkers -the brain trust- behind the Special Counsel Jack Smith prosecution, then you might see the dynamic in this story.

Previously, amid his grand prose and proclamations outlining his spectacular and magnificent legal constructs, wunderkind Jack Smith was so confident in his case he strategically announced he would demand a “speedy trial” in order to preserve the great American democracy.

If you see Lawfare as a narrative construct, the pontification made sense.

However, less than two weeks later, suddenly the ever-confident Jack Smith is reversing his position and asking Florida Judge Cannon to delay the trial.

(Via NBC) – Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case to delay the start of his criminal trial until December.

The request came in a series of new motions filed late Friday by the special counsel.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had set a tentative date of Aug. 14 for the start of the trial. (more)

Remember, Lawfare is first and foremost a narrative construct intended for public media consumption.  Lawfare originates from the perspective of an established legal goal, and then all of the activity is structured around supporting that goal.  [A version of find me the man I’ll find you the crime.]

Lawfare is the opposite of following evidence.  In fact, in its purest and most visible form, political Lawfare actually requires the ignoring of evidence.

♦ Why the delay?

I think the prosecutors got tripped up by their first motion.

Knowing how Weissmann, Berke, Eisen and McCord think, which is likely similar to how the lesser strategic Jack Smith thinks, the prosecution brain trust likely anticipated a counter motion to their first submission to the court restricting Trump’s access to the evidence being used against him.

The originating defense counter motion, if it had been filed based on substantive grounding around presidential power and ownership of the documents now cited as evidence, legally there would have been a very large constitutional argument sucking up months of court and litigation time.

I think the prosecution team was caught off guard when Trump’s lawyers just simply agreed to the terms and conditions.  That has thrown the prosecution strategy into a timeline crunch they didn’t expect.

The DOJ crew were likely prepared to litigate a VERY big hurdle, and whether by accident or defense strategy when Trump’s lawyers acquiesced, they mooted the anticipated prosecutorial hurdle Smith was expecting.

While I don’t personally agree with that Trump defense team approach (if intended), the outcome of their agreement puts the more substantive pre-trial motions on a fast track to the judge.

Regardless of Trump’s defense team intent or strategy, apparently Jack Smith was caught off guard.

Jack Smith wouldn’t ask for a delay, essentially like putting egg on his own face given his prior statements, if he didn’t need the delay.  Smith needs the delay.

Asked Again Twice About Ukraine, Ron DeSantis Ducks, Weaves and Avoids The Question – At a Certain Point the Neocon Cannot Hide


Posted originally on the CTH on June 22, 2023 | Sundance 

CTH has said for a year the Achilles heel Ron DeSantis carries, the weak spot that outlines his neocon nature, becomes extremely visible on the subject of Ukraine.

Twice previously, DeSantis has tried to walk the tightrope and navigate his lies surrounding the Ukraine war. Each time he outlines something that leans toward Ukraine needing to concede to Russia and NATO needing to stop meddling on Russia borders, he immediately walks back his comments.  DeSantis is stuck on the issue of Ukraine because DeSantis cannot be honest about his position on Ukraine.

Today in South Carolina [Forbes got the state wrong in the title] the issue of Ukraine surfaced in a public Q&A (video below), and both times DeSantis ducked, obfuscated, distracted and refused to answer the question.  The second person asked more directly, “What are you going to do about the war in Ukraine?”, because DeSantis never answered the first questioner. WATCH [prompted to 01:08:23]

.

Only Donald Trump has the solution to the Ukraine war.  (1) Stop NATO, namely U.S. created, from provoking nonsense antagonisms on Russia’s border; and (2) Force Zelenskyy to the negotiation table of reality.  The Ukraine war stops immediately the day after the 2024 election, if Trump wins.

However, Ron DeSantis cannot take that attitude or foreign policy approach.  DeSantis must maintain the approved Republican pro-war narrative as outlined by Democrats, Republicans, UniParty, and the DC political leadership writ large.  The DC position on the Ukraine war is all about money; DeSantis must maintain that policy.

House Republicans Censure Adam Schiff for Falsifying Intelligence Information to Public


Posted originally on the CTH on June 21, 2023 | Sundance 

Congressman Adam Schiff was the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2015 through 2019, then Chairman of that same committee from 2019 through 2023.  In his leadership position on the HPSCI, Schiff was also a member of the congressional Gang of Eight who received classified intelligence briefings on all U.S. intel matters.

Adam Schiff used his position on the HPSCI to fabricate information from the HPSCI, leak information to media, and falsify statements during public appearances.  Following the 2020 midterm election result, Schiff was forcibly removed from the committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy.   Today the House of Representatives censured Schiff for his lies and manipulative conduct and submitted him to an ethics investigation by the House.

(Via Politico) – The House GOP voted Wednesday to publicly reprimand Rep. Adam Schiff for his leading role in Democratic investigations of former President Donald Trump.

The measure, which passed 213-209, formally censures Schiff and directs the House Ethics Committee to investigate his actions. All five Republican members of the House ethics panel and Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) voted “present” on Wednesday’s measure.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the sponsor of the resolution, and other conservatives tried to advance a similar censure measure last week, but 20 Republicans — objecting to language that could have resulted in a $16 million fine for Schiff, unless he resigned from Congress — joined most Democrats to sink it before it came up for a full House vote. Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns. (read more)

Congressman Tom McClintock Questions John Durham About His Four-Year Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on June 21, 2023 | Sundance 

Today, for the first time, the broader American public met the face of the four-year investigation into the origin of the Trump-Russia hoax.  Special Counsel John Durham testified before the House Judiciary Committee.

What a larger audience is now recognizing is what people on these pages have been discussing for quite some time.  John Durham was/is the institutional preservation officer hired by Bill Barr to carefully navigate the corruption of the DOJ and FBI without actually holding anyone accountable for the corruption within the DOJ and FBI.  Put succinctly, Bill Barr was the Bondo application and John Durham was the spray paint.

The rotting and corrupt carcass of our justice system is what remains hidden underneath the efforts of Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham.  This is their legacy. Congressman Tom McClintock asks high-brow questions of John Durham, WATCH:
