of Jack Smith’s Appointment

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/4/2024 1:48:05 AM

Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel might be in trouble. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit advised counsels in Smith’s criminal case against Trump to be prepared during previously scheduled January 9 oral arguments to address issues raised in briefs filed by amicus curiae.The court made the announcement after an explosive amicus brief filed by attorneys for former Attorney General Ed Meese arguing that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is unconstitutional and so the court must reject his prosecution against Trump.

Wouldn't this be fun if Smith was judged to have, as they say, "No more power to indict than Taylor Swift."? The court is in DC, so very suspect, but however it goes, it will be appealed by one side or the other.

This is all for show. Contrary to what Chief Justice John Roberts says, there are democrat and republican judges/justices, and this court is die hard democrat. And as we have seen time after time, democrat judges rule based on their political/Leftist beliefs, not on the Constitution or law.

More than 90 US Attorneys have jurisdiction only in their districts. Smith's authority extends all over the nation. Yet, his appointment does not require Senate assent. To logic, reason and the law this is open and shut. But none of the three conditions are operating in Biden.0bama's America.

His appointment is unconstitutional? So what? Getting rid of President Trump is much more important to the commies than any stinking Constitution.

The Appeals Court is a necessary step but not the last stop. Another case going to the Supremes with huge public interest. If Roberts tries to dodge this bullet he will have lost any shred of credibility he has left. We shall see.

Nice. Jack Smith strenously objected to SCOTUS considering the amicus brief because Trump had not raised the issue. When certiorari was not granted, the whole bundle including the amicus brief must have landed in the DC appeals court's lap. Now they have to take it up.

In 2024, it has never been more important for Republicans to vote early and bank their votes. Democrats have been encouraging their supporters to vote early for years — especially following the COVID pandemic — helping their candidates come into Election Day with an advantage over Republicans. That’s why in June 2023, the RNC launched the Bank Your Vote campaign to maximize pre-Election Day voting. Co-Chaired by Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and alongside our partners at the NRCC and NRSC, the effort encourages, educates, and activates Republican voters on when, where, and how to lock in their votes as early as possible

The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of 'missing' pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein's $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates. Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested. It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.

This week, there was an “insurrection” in the California State Capitol in Sacramento. A group of radical extremists invaded the State Assembly, interrupting the first day of the legislative session and forcing lawmakers to flee the chamber. They continued to occupy the legislature even after the lights were turned off. But eventually, they were allowed to leave peacefully, and there were no arrests at all.The reason: unlike the January 6 protesters in Washington, the California protesters are on the political left. Those who participated in the January 6 event three years ago are still being arrested and prosecuted for the nebulous crime of “obstructing an official proceeding.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott appears set for a huge victory on the border crisis, as President Joe Biden and Washington Democrats look likely to cave on Republican demands for a crackdown on migrants. The Republican posted to X on Tuesday, announcing the success of his program to bus illegal migrants to Democrat-led cities. He said his initiative has amounted to the transfer of nearly 100,000 migrants to cities such as New York, Boston, Denver, and Chicago - where leaders are being forced to find accommodation for them.Those Democrat-led areas bill themselves as 'sanctuary cities' that welcome migrants.

Unfortunately, that means the Lone Star State will also likely be the busiest observing location in the country that day. Per a report from Space.com, just over a million visitors are predicted to roll into Texas to witness the rare celestial phenomenon, the last to be visible in the U.S. until 2044.The calculation by Michael Zeiler, an eclipse cartographer at GreatAmericanEclipse.com, is based on ArcGIS software, U.S. Bureau of the Census data, and a detailed digital road network for the U.S. The 115-mile-wide path of totality will cross North America

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump unconstitutionally profited from the presidency during his tenure in the White House, reaping millions of dollars for his business empire from foreign governments, House Democrats allege in an extensive report. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a 156-page report Thursday morning accusing Trump of exploiting the presidency to financially benefit himself and members of his family. Trump’s businesses, according to the report, received at least $7.8 million from corrupt and authoritarian governments including China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

We are about to embark on what might be one of the wildest years in the history of American politics, and it may end up merely a prelude. If 2024 is set to be tumultuous and unpredictable, just wait until 2025 if Donald Trump wins the presidency again this year. His adversaries don’t have a history of accepting his victories with equanimity. Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 launched conspiracy theories about how Russia had helped him win; catalyzed a years-long law enforcement investigation into him and his campaign based on those theories; and set off protests in the streets. All that was mild, given what may yet be in the offing.

They think that everyone should bend the knee to them and accede to all their demands however unworkable or bad those demands might be. If they scream loud enough, they think they can succeed by bullying people. We've seen things from the crazy or concerning to the dangerous. But I have to say, this new video I just saw is pretty funny. Think anti-Israel Karen, and then you get where this video is going.

As the decisions disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election work their way through the courts, a new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same “ballot cleansing” by barring Rep. Scott Perry. It’s only the latest effort targeting congressional candidates as Democrats seek to bar opponents as “insurrectionists” for questioning the election of President Biden. We have become a nation of Madame Defarges — eagerly knitting names of those to be subject to arbitrary justice. Former congressional candidate Gene Stilp, who’s made headlines by burning MAGA flags with swastikas outside courthouses, filed the challenge. Using the 14th Amendment to disqualify candidates like Perry is consistent with Stilp’s signature flag-burning stunts.
