I’m not exactly sure who Michael Lee the political strategist is; however, his essential summary of Nikki Haley in this soundbite is very accurate. WATCH:

According to the New York Times, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel will exit from her position as head of the RNC immediately following the South Carolina primary.
The RNC has been a source of anxiety for most MAGA voters due to multiple issues, including the lack of effort on ballot harvesting and voter integrity initiatives. In multiple states and multiple races, there isn’t even a Republican candidate challenging the incumbent Democrat. That’s also a problem.
(New York Times) – The chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, has told former President Donald J. Trump she is planning to step down shortly after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24, according to two people familiar with the plans.
Mr. Trump is then likely to promote the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, Michael Whatley, as her replacement, according to several people familiar with the discussions. Under the arcana of the committee’s rules, however, Mr. Trump cannot simply install someone. A new election must take place, and Mr. Whatley could face internal party dissent.
Ms. McDaniel has faced months of pressure, a campaign from Trump-allied forces to unseat her and growing dissatisfaction and anxiety in the Trump camp about the strained finances of the R.N.C. as the general election cycle begins early.
Mr. Trump likes Mr. Whatley for one overwhelming reason, according to people who have discussed him with the former president: He is “a stop the steal guy,” as one of the people described him. (read more)
This is probably the first time a U.S presidential candidate has been defeated in a state presidential primary by an unlisted rival. However, that’s what happened in Nevada when Nikki Haley ran unopposed as listed on the Nevada primary ballot.
The Republican Nevada presidential primary was Tuesday; but the Republican Party of Nevada switched to maintain a primary caucus approach to selecting the candidate. The Caucus takes place on Thursday.
As an outcome of the process Nikki Haley was the only candidate on the primary ballot for Tuesday. Nikki Haley received 32.4% of the votes, while 61.2% of the republican primary voters selected “none of these candidates.”
(Bloomberg) — Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the largely symbolic Republican Nevada presidential primary on Tuesday, while President Joe Biden secured an easy victory in the state’s Democratic vote.
No delegates were at stake and Haley didn’t campaign in Nevada, contending the dynamics gave former President Donald Trump an advantage. Nevertheless, the optics of her coming in second place to the “none of these candidates” option on the ballot represents the latest blow to her longshot challenge to Trump for the nomination.

Three judges from the Washington DC Circuit Court of Appeals have denied the immunity request from President Trump.
In a rather stark decision reached by the panel [SEE Ruling Here] “We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the court wrote in its ruling Tuesday. “We conclude that the interest in criminal accountability, held by both the public and the Executive Branch, outweighs the potential risks of chilling Presidential action and permitting vexatious litigation.”
WASHINGTON – The judges put their decision on hold only until Monday to allow Trump to ask the Supreme Court to take up the immunity fight on an emergency basis. If he does so, the decision won’t take effect until the high court acts on his request, the appeals panel decreed. (read more)
The court essentially stayed its own ruling, pending a punt to the Supreme Court.
DOWNLOAD: DC Court Appeal Trump Has No Immunity
I have read the DC Court of Appeals decision stripping Trump of any immunity. In doing so, they are stripping judges and prosecutors of immunity as well for all you had to argue is they acted against their appointment and oath. Their statement of facts calls everyone on January 6th Trump’s “coconspirators,” and this is a plain declaration of guilt. They state the four charges against Trump, which are all conspiracy – the law of tyrants, for they need not prove that Trump did anything, is assumed to be indistinguishable from the protestors.
The Crime of Conspiracy has long been the law of tyrants. Maximinus I (235-238AD) used the Crime of Conspiracy, which is only a thought crime. It has been abandoned by most civilized countries – but not the United States for they never have to actually prove you did a crime. Conspiracy has been abandoned in Europe, Russia, and even China. Conspiracy is a vile crime itself, and it has been the favorite of tyrants for thousands of years. It allows the conviction of someone for a crime they did not commit, nor even attempted to commit but you claim they “intended” purely as a mental state to commit in the future. Maximinus I engaged in legal persecution. Thus, the crime of Conspiracy was the way to convict people you otherwise could not. There are three aspects to a crime in the United States where: anyone can be charged with conspiracy if the government desires.(1) committing the act,(2) attempting to commit the act, and then(3) there is Conspiracy which is claimed you have only “intended” to commit the act in your mind, which cannot be proven and typically requires extorting a confession by force.
Using Conspiracy, Maximinus I effectively tore the Roman economy apart at its seams. He charged a noted Senator by the name of Magnus with conspiracy against the emperor, found him guilty, executed him, and then arrested 4,000 others, claiming they conspired with him intending to depose him. He used this crime of conspiracy to execute them all, and that justified confiscating all their property as well.
Justice Robert Jackson wrote about Conspiracy in his concurring opinion in Krulewitch v. United States, 336 U.S. 440 (1949)
“This case illustrates a present drift in the federal law of conspiracy which warrants some further comment because it is characteristic of the long evolution of that elastic, sprawling and pervasive offense. Its history exemplifies the “tendency of a principle to expand itself to the limit of its logic.” The unavailing protest of courts against the growing habit to indict for conspiracy in lieu of prosecuting for the substantive offense itself…“
Virtually 95% of the people in prison are charged with conspiracy. I have seen a person charged with conspiracy to murder when someone asked him hey did you see Joe, yes, he is over there. They kill him, and then he is charged with conspiracy, for there is no need to even prove he knew what they wanted Joe for. Then, the government seeks the death penalty. The prosecutor quit because the kid was just 23 years old and had no prior record.
We have more people in prison than China – more than any other country. But that is raw numbers. China has 1.409 billion people, and the USA has 334 million. Divide that out, and the United States has five times the number of people in prison per capita than China. Russia has 143 million people. Yet all we hear is how ruthless China and Russia are because they are not free. When you look at who is in prison, the USA has the highest probability of going to prison than any other country. Obviously, Americans must be the most dishonest people in the world.
What is being done to Trump is the outrageous abuse of conspiracy, and that we are in such desperate need of legal reform in this country is not a joke. Perhaps the abuse hurled at Trump will eventually wake up America to how bad our legal system has become.
You have NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS whatsoever! Read the First Amendment. It states, “Congress shall make no law.” This is why Facebook, YouTube, and every other private organization can restrict your speech, for the First Amendment does NOT prevent them from de-banking you or de-platforming you; they can deny your free speech as they desire.
Trump has been PREDETERMINED to be guilty. There is no need for constitutional rights. They have already decided. Biden can take bribes, his son can sell influence, smoke crack in the White House, and he has thrown top secret documents in his garage. Nothing will ever be done to Biden, and in Congress, we have a uni party that will NEVER defend the people.
These judges are out of control. They think they are above the law because they are the law, and they never consider what they are doing to society, especially given the civil unrest that our computer has been projecting for the 2024 election. This does not look good, and now the Senate Republicans have stripped Texas of all its rights in the $118 billion gift to Zelensky. They have torn the Constitution into shreds, and we no longer have anyone left representing the people. God help us.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has Trump’s Washington case brought by Jack Smith, wrote an order that means something is wrong. Her order has postponed the trial indefinitely, and rightly so, given the fact that the questions presented involve what one would classify as Subject Matter Jurisdiction, which can NEVER be waived. She wrote: “The court will set a new schedule if and when the mandate is returned.” By that language, she acknowledges that the case could be dismissed given the lack of a constitutionally valid appointment of Jack Smith. In all honesty, that would be a wonderful thing for the rule of law, for then Trump should sue those behind the prosecution.
Those who hate Trump have to understand. Whatever one side does, the other will do. These legal cases against Trump are unprecedented, and if they were to stand, it is time to turn out the lights, for the United States can no longer pretend to be the land of the free and home of the brave. Everyone from here on out would seek to use the criminal law against an opponent. I don’t care what you think of Trump; we are talking about the survivability of Constitutional Law. You might as well tear it up, for it will no longer mean anything.
They filed impeachments against Trump twice – now they move for impeachment against Biden. When you abuse the law, the other side can use the precedent against you. It never ends!
Apparently the Lawfare crew have been working and coaching overtime to give Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold a framework to explain to the Supreme Court how Colorado’s very specific election laws allow for presidential candidates to be disqualified despite meeting all constitutional requirements. State Solicitor General Sharon Stevenson would be the legal mind representing Jena Griswold. This should be an interesting attempt.
Griswold asked the Supreme Court for 15 minutes to explain how Colorado law supersedes the U.S. Constitution. In an order announced earlier today [pdf here], the court has granted Ms. Griswold 10 minutes to make her case. The oral arguments will take place on Thursday, February 8th.
President Trump’s attorneys will have 40 minutes. The Lawfare group “Colorado voters”, funded by CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington), will have 30 minutes, and the Colorado Secretary of State will have 10 minutes.
(Via MSN) – The U.S. Supreme Court will hear directly from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold next week as it considers an appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision finding former President Donald Trump ineligible for the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
The Supreme Court granted Griswold’s request to speak during oral arguments in an order Friday that allotted her 10 minutes. The justices also will hear from lawyers for Trump and the Colorado voters who challenged his eligibility during Thursday’s hearing in Washington, D.C. (read more)
In the ridiculous federal election interference case in D.C., President Trump’s attorneys argued to the DC Circuit appellate court that President Trump holds inherent constitutional immunity. In essence, because President Trump was acquitted by the Senate of claims he incited or instigated the January 6, 2021, events, lawyers arguing under the constitution that only impeached and removed presidents can be criminally prosecuted.
The initial 3-judge panel of the court has taken up the appeal, and all subsequent lower court activity was suspended until the constitutional issue is resolved. Again, if President Trump does not have immunity, then all preceding and future presidents can be criminally prosecuted for any/all events and decisions while holding office. This is a core issue, and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals has to tread very carefully with these ramifications at the forefront.
The decision of the 3-judge panel could also be followed by a full en-banc review by all judges in the circuit. Then, depending on their decision, it could -likely will- go even higher to the U.S. Supreme Court. All of this takes time, and the initial 3-judge appeals court have not provided any hints on their timeline.
Apparently, as a consequence, the entire trial of the case has been removed from the lower DC court docket. The removal took place within the last few days, and the Washington Post noticed the removal. This removal means the timing of the case, if at all, is completely unknown now.
WASHINGTON – Former president Donald Trump’s March 4 trial date on charges of plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election has been dropped from the public calendar of the federal court in Washington, a sign of what has long been anticipated — that his claim of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution would delay his trial while it remains on appeal.
The change did not appear on the official criminal case docket before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who has made clear since Trump filed his appeal on Dec. 7 that all trial deadlines would be suspended while he challenges the case. On appeal, Trump is arguing that the government does not have authority under the Constitution to bring charges against him for actions he took while president after the 2020 election through the Jan. 6, 2021.

In addition to the challenges within these core issues, the Lawfare approach by Jack Smith, Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann, faces multiple additional hurdles. These are all issues that surface when Lawfare, the application of twisted legal theory intended to manipulate public opinion, runs into the reality of ever-increasing scrutiny from courts.
Combine these fraudulent legal theories with the reality that President Trump’s status is almost certainly “presumptive presidential nominee” in the eyes of the entire judicial branch, and things change. The pretending justification for the Lawfare claims now hit the non-pretending and visible reality of political intent.
The judicial scrutiny gets even more focused, and the explanations demanded as justifications to target President Trump increase. As the calendar of the November election gets closer Jack, Mary and Andrew will have to rely on ideologically aligned black robes to maintain their Lawfare pretense. Some of the robes will not be comfortable with the demands of Jack, Mary and Andrew.
Some of the robes may not pretend, and that poses a problem for Jack, Mary and Andrew.
