Judge Cannon Expands Hearing on Validity
of Trump Special Counsel
Posted By: earlybird, 6/5/2024 1:36:32 PM
The federal judge overseeing one of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump has made the unusual decision to open up an upcoming hearing to outside parties as she considers whether special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was valid. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, an appointee of President Trump, said on June 4 that three outside experts will be able to make their cases for up to 30 minutes each during the hearing, which is slated to take place in federal court in Florida on June 21. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help Judge Cannon understand more fully why Jack Smith has no authority to prosecute President Trump, and

Congressman Matt Gaetz seemingly cuts across the UniParty grain at key moments; perhaps today is another example. The better part of good public questioning is not just what question is asked, but also how the question is asked.
The back-and-forth questioning does not need to be performative to be substantial.(snip)
AG Merrick Garland says it’s a “dangerous conspiracy theory” to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with state and local prosecutions against Trump. But former senior DOJ official Matthew Colangelo was appointed Senior Counsel to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office to “get Trump”
It’s no accident that The Wall Street Journal ran an “exclusive” hagiographic piece on Merrick Garland’s “by-the-book, play-no-favorites approach” the day the attorney general is set to be grilled by Congress. The administration wants to paint the AG as a fair-minded dispenser of justice.
In truth, while Garland might occasionally — only when faced with no real options — put the Biden administration in an uncomfortable political position, he has regularly weaponized the agency to target the president’s political enemies, from pro-life protesters to concerned parents to presidential candidates.
Even as I write this, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interviews with former Special Counsel Robert Hur,
U.S. District for Montana Chief Judge Brian Morris sparked scrutiny after speaking at a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) event advancing Biden’s “sustainability goals.” The judge spoke at a podium emblazoned with a sign reading “President Joe Biden” and “Investing in America.”
Ethics rules typically prohibit judges from participating in partisan events to avoid the appearance of politics affecting their decisions. Constitution-supporting Supreme Court justices such as Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, for example, have been charged in the national press with conflicts of interest due to not theirs but their wives’ free speech and participation in the political process.
There are not even enough words to describe this level of manipulative lying and trying to reframe reality. Any person who tries to support this insufferable effort should be ridiculed and shamed immediately. (image)Joe Biden’s first day in office he reversed all of the border security measures President Trump had put into place – specifically, the remain in Mexico policy. Now, with massive backlash starting to permeate the American electorate as the consequences of lawlessness are hitting hard, Joe Biden pretends he is not to blame for an unsecured border.
This is the biggest attempt at political gaslighting in modern history.
The echo of “guilty” had barely subsided from Acting Justice Juan Merchan’s courthouse before a new meme waddled its way toward centerstage.
“Felon.”That was going to be the new meme of the moment.
The New York Times took up the baton instantly, issuing a stern editorial “Donald Trump, Felon” the very day of the verdict.
The piece itself is mostly rabid anti-Trump boilerplate, but there is one bit that I hope people who still read the former paper of record will take to heart.
It comes at the end: “The jurors have delivered their verdict, as the voters will in November.
Since the year before Bragg took office, grand larceny crimes -- the theft of goods worth over $1,000 from an individual or a business -- are up 33%.
On Saturday, a knife-wielding thief severely stabbed a security guard at a midtown Manhattan Duane Reade and threatened a shopper.
Roughly 12 hours later, a straphanger was shot in the hand as his train pulled into the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue platform.
That’s life in Manhattan, where transit crime, assault and shoplifting are raging.
(snip). “We have to watch our backs in the stores and on the subway.”
That’s because Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg doesn’t have New Yorkers’ backs.

Clients of New York Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, and the progressive consulting firm she manages are raking in cash off of the conviction of former President Donald Trump in a New York City show trial her father oversaw. Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, did not respond to The Federalist’s questions about the obvious conflict of interest her position poses.
After a jury pulled from a pool of Biden voters found Trump guilty of 34 counts of bookkeeping fraud, Democrat California Rep. Adam Schiff, a client of Authentic Campaigns, immediately began fundraising off of the verdict.
A Georgia appeals court set a date to hear arguments regarding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s eligibility to remain on the election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
In early May, the Georgia appeals court announced it would review a conflict of interest regarding Willis remaining on the case.
The former president and several of his co-defendants have attempted to remove Willis from the case due to her previous romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, another prosecutor who had been on the case.
Federal agencies under Dr. Anthony Fauci’s leadership received hundreds of millions in pharmaceutical royalties over the coronavirus pandemic.
According to an investigation by the nonprofit government watchdog Open the Books, pharmaceutical and health care companies paid more than $710 million to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which Fauci led from 1984 to 2022, received more than $690 million, or 97 percent, of the total $710 million.
South Africa’s ruling ANC faced a search for allies to form a new government Saturday after losing its three-decade-old absolute majority in a watershed election, as some rivals questioned the results.
With 99.85 percent of the votes from Wednesday’s election counted, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s African National Congress had only 40 percent, a catastrophic slump from the 57.5 it won in 2019.
This marks a historic turning point for South Africa as the party has enjoyed an absolute majority since 1994, when liberation hero Nelson Mandela led the nation out of white-minority rule and into democracy.
The ANC must now negotiate a coalition government or

Global elites representing the upper echelons of power in politics, banking, big tech, media, industry, and academia converged this week in Madrid, Spain to discuss Artificial Intelligence, the “future of warfare”, and more at the shadowy Bilderberg Meeting as the “off the record” conference turns 70 years old.
Founded in 1954 with a meeting hosted by Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands in the Hotel de Bilderberg in the Dutch village of Oosterbeek, the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group is believed to be a driving force behind numerous globalist projects.

Another new version of the Covid-19 vaccine will probably be coming this fall.
The US Food and Drug Administration’s committee of independent advisers voted unanimously Wednesday to recommend that the agency tell vaccine manufacturers to update the Covid-19 shots so they will be more effective against the JN.1 lineage of the coronavirus.
The committee voted on the question, “For the 2024-2025 Formula of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., does the committee recommend a monovalent JN.1-lineage vaccine composition?” All 16 of the advisers voted “yes.”
The decision now goes to the full FDA. If the agency agrees with its advisory committee, the new shot will be a monovalent vaccine, offering protection
CNN analyst and former FBI chief Andrew McCabe said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people in the intelligence and law enforcement community were worried if former President Donald Trump is elected again, they would be “thrown in jail or grabbed in some sort of extra judicial detention.” (snip) “It’s terrifying, it’s frightening. I have a lot of conversations with former colleagues, people who are or were in the intelligence and law enforcement community, (snip) On a very personal level, I mean, these are tortures discussions with their family members about whether or not they have to leave the country
FBI agent Erika Jensen confirmed Tuesday that Hunter Biden’s laptop was in fact real and authentic — meaning that every single one of the 51 “former intelligence officials” who called it Russian misinformation in 2020 should lose their security clearances.
Recall that Politico published their letter in October 2020, just days after the New York Post revealed the existence of the laptop — which in turn revealed evidence about the Biden family’s corruption and foreign deals.The Biden campaign seized on the letter — with Joe Biden specifically citing it during the subsequent presidential debate — and the media and the Silicon Valley tech giants followed, censoring news
President Joe Biden squatted down during ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France on Thursday, then awkwardly held the position before correcting himself while other dignitaries remained standing.
The odd moment came after Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron greeted surviving heroes of the Normandy invasion, as a military band played somber music.
Biden, 81, then bent his knees as if preparing to sit before momentarily freezing. His wife Jill - who sometimes guides her husband off stage during public events - covered her mouth and scratched the area above her upper lip.
Thieves in California are stealing fire hydrants throughout Los Angeles County, leaving communities at risk if there’s an emergency.
According to ABC 7, over 100 hydrants have been stolen this year alone. One resident, Krystal Cousins lives between two fire hydrants in the Florence-Firestone area. She told reporters that both of them were stolen on Thursday.
"It's mind-boggling that someone would just come into a neighborhood and just steal a fire hydrant," neighbor Krystail Cousins said. "You're now putting a whole neighborhood in danger."
"Having no fire hydrant on the street is a whole lawsuit right there if something were to go up in flames. People do fireworks all night over here.
Two former law enforcement officers who defended the U.S. Capitol from rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection were jeered by state GOP lawmakers as they visited Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives on Wednesday, according to several Democratic lawmakers present.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show had to be reshot because activists from the far left-wing group Code Pink sprung an ambush. From the audience, multiple Code Pink operatives hurled insults, chiding the vice president for enabling genocide in Gaza. One man is seen waving a Palestinian flag. While being escorted out, they pepper Harris one last time, asking how many babies she has killed and why she supports continued funding to Israel. [Video]
“15,000 babies dead because of you!”
“Stop the genocide!”
“You’re a murderer!”
“Real babies have been beheaded, not the fake babies that Joe Biden said he saw,” shouted another activist.

The Department of Justice has indicted Dr. Eithan Haim, a little-known surgeon who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital for secretly conducting transgender surgeries and treatments on minors, on four felony counts related to his alleged violation of a medical-records law.
Last year, Haim anonymously leaked evidence of the child sex-change procedures to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo. The documents revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital had continued running its transgender program, despite announcing that the program had been discontinued in accordance with Governor Greg Abbott’s 2022 directive equating such medical interventions with child abuse.
If there was any doubt remaining that Hillary Clinton is a contemptuous unelectable partisan, the loser of the 2016 presidential election provided another clear reminder on Thursday. According to the twice-failed candidate, voting against Donald Trump this November is the same heroic act in defense of democracy as storming the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.
"Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy," Clinton wrote in the post on X. "This November, all we have to do is vote."
Democrat voters in New Jersey elected deceased Representative Donald Payne Jr. in Tuesday’s primary.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Representative Donald M. Payne Jr. (D-NJ) died on April 24th at 65.
Before his death, Payne spent the last two weeks in a coma due to having a heart attack and complications with diabetes.
Despite being dead, Payne won New Jersey’s 10th District Democratic primary with 99.9% of the vote. Payne was able to win the election because New Jersey’s deadline to run for Congress was in March, and Payne died in April.
Biden Demonstrates He’s A Vegetable

The president of the United States is a yam or a squash or some other sort of vegetable because he is no longer sentient.
I say this after some consideration and after reading a very long interview that he did with Time Magazine. He’s on the cover of Time — which is basically a defunct magazine at this point — gazing out stonily, standing over the Resolute desk staring into the camera in black and white, with a headline reading, “If He Wins.”
Time is doing its best to try and massage him through this campaign. In their piece behind the cover, they say, “In the time we spent with the President,
