More great news and another defeat for Criminal Donald.

Trump ordered to testify in New York fraud investigation

New York's attorney general wants Donald Trump to testify within weeks as part of her investigation into potential fraud in his family-owned business.

Attorney general Letitia James requested the twice-impeached one-term president give a deposition Jan. 7 at her office as part of a civil investigation of the Trump Organization's alleged practice of artificially manipulating property values to obtain financial advantages, reported the Washington Post.

"One of the people familiar with the investigation said James is examining whether widespread fraud 'permeated the Trump Organization,'" the newspaper reported.

The attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney are both looking into the Trump Organization's business practices, and James has said she is considering a lawsuit and prosecutors have convened a new grand jury to consider possible criminal charges against the company.

James could take Trump to court if he refuses to comply, and his former biographer said that carries risks for anyone -- but especially the ex-president.

“He can’t be scripted, and he’s injudicious, and he often doesn’t understand that the process is about events and facts, rather than being performance art,” said former biographer Tim O’Brien.

REVEALED: Mark Meadows possessed 'insane' blueprint for military seizing ballots after Trump's 2020 defeat



Details of documents in the possession of former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows show that there was a blueprint for members of the National Guard and U.S. Marshals to take control of the U.S. election system following former President Donald Trump's defeat.

After Meadows decided to abruptly withdraw his cooperation with the House Jan. 6 Select Committee on Tuesday, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) revealed that Meadows had provided the committee with an email containing a 38-page PowerPoint slideshow titled "Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 JAN."

Author Karen Piper reviewed portions of the slideshow and concluded that it was "nuts."

"It's the craziest thing I've ever seen," Piper wrote on Twitter. She also described the document as "insane."

One slide explains how National Guard in each state would be federalized to count only "legitimate" paper ballots. Meanwhile, U.S. Marshals would be tasked with providing a "protective perimeter around the locations."

"A Trusted Lead Counter will be appointed with authority from the POTUS to direct the actions of select federalized National Guard units and support from DOJ, DHS and other US government agencies as needed to complete a recount of the legal paper ballots for the federal elections in all 50 states," the document states.

Other recommendations include declaring a national security emergency. All electronic votes would be declared invalid under the plan and NASA astronaut Sid Gutierrez was slated to lead the task force.

The slideshow is dated Jan. 5, 2021, which was just one day before Trump incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol.

A copy of the slideshow is available at Archive.org. Read the document below.

Biggest lying fraud con man in the history of America. Once again, his phony conspiracy is debunked but the right goes along with the "election fraud" lie so they can enact more voter restriction laws because they believe that will help them steal future elections when the unconstitutional laws are in their favor. Also this con man is constantly fundraising off this scam and his suckers give him their money which goes into his pockets. There is no "massive voter fraud" in our elections. This is just another attempt by this Russian stooge to undermine our democracy and question the legitimacy of free and fair elections. Trump is doing Putin's work because Putin's goal was always to make America weak and he found a willing orange traitor to help him do it.     

'No evidence of widespread voter fraud': Trump's conspiracies debunked by another conservative probe



The conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty tried -- but failed -- to come up with evidence that Donald Trump won his election in the state.

The organization conducted a 10-month investigation parallel to one by Republican state legislators and found that certain election procedures might not have been adequately followed, but found nothing to support Trump's claims that he should have won Wisconsin's electors, reported the Washington Post.

“There was no evidence of widespread voter fraud,” the report states. “In all likelihood, more eligible voters cast ballots for Joe Biden than Donald Trump. We found little direct evidence of fraud, and for the most part, an analysis of the results and voting patterns does not give rise to an inference of fraud.”

The report found that more than 23,000 votes “did not comply with existing legal requirements,” which is indeed a total higher than the 20,608-vote margin Biden tallied over Trump, but the organization found no reason to conclude the result would have been different without those votes.

“There isn’t much, if any, evidence that these voters did anything intentionally wrong (in many instances, they seem to have relied on the advice of election officials) and one might conclude — whether as a matter of law, fairness, or political survival — that it would be unreasonable to throw out their ballots,” the report says.

The investigation also failed to turn up any evidence of a late-night "ballot dump" in Milwaukee, as Trump has claimed, but instead found the number of absentee ballots counted on Election Night in the city was consistent with what was reported to be outstanding.

“Put simply," the report concludes, "there was no unexplained ‘ballot dump.'"

These findings match the results of similar probes in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, where Republican elected officials looked for evidence of fraud but found nothing to support those claims.

We all remember David Perdue. He's the former right wing Senator from Georgia who lost his Senate seat. This is the same inside trading crook who dumped a ton of stock right when the pandemic hit and he made millions in profits. So, while people were getting sick and dying, Perdue was counting his millions.

So now, Perdue got cozy once again with Criminal Donald and is running for Governor in Georgia. He is going to challenge current Republican Governor Brian Kemp because Criminal Donald is out to get him since he didn't steal the election for him in Georgia. Perdue has no integrity or morals so it's no surprise that he has made a deal with the devil to be his personal stooge.

Perdue appears he would do anything Criminal Donald asks him to which is why the devil himself is personally backing him as a candidate. One thing about Criminal Donald is that he gives his potential stooges a loyalty oath, meaning they must be always loyal to him. That's why you saw criminals like Paul Manafort going to prison for Criminal Donald.

So, with Perdue under his wing we heard the first example of just exactly how loyal he would be. Perdue just went on the record as stating that "if he was Governor in 2020 he wouldn’t have certified the Georgia 2020 election results".

Why would Perdue not have certified the Georgia election results? President Biden won the state of Georgia in every single recount. Perdue himself lost Georgia in the run-off election two months later. There would be no reason not to certify a clear election victory. Well, what's going on here is that Criminal Donald wants his own loyal stooges to be in position power to steal elections for him. So, he wants David Perdue to be the stooge to do his dirty work by refusing to certify an election that Criminal Donald lost and overturn the results to give him the victory instead.

Now that shows you how much of a loser Criminal Donald really is. He's despised by so many people that he loses a state and he needs his thugs to steal an election for him so he can be in power. So, Perdue admitted that he would partake in a coup to illegally steal an election from the will of the people all because he swore an oath to Criminal Donald to do whatever he asks of him. This amounts to treason but Perdue has no morals to care about that. That's why it's imperative that all these Trump backed thugs are soundly defeated in every single election. Kemp is a right winger himself who is taking away voting rights from Georgia citizens, but at least he had the integrity to not steal an election when Criminal Donald demanded it. Perdue will have no problem doing that which is why he is running for Governor. Perdue is just another anti American right winger who will do anything to have power, even steal an election for his boss Criminal Donald.             ​

Trump-backed Perdue says he wouldn’t have certified Georgia 2020 results

Trump ‘snitched on himself’ in NY fraud probe — which could 'ruin' him financially: MSNBC legal analyst

An ongoing fraud investigation in New York could "take an economic wrecking ball" to former president Donald Trump's company, according to one legal analyst.

Tristan Snell, a former assistant attorney general in New York, appeared on MSNBC on Thursday to discuss a report that the state AG's office is seeking a Jan. 7 deposition from the former president as part of its civil investigation into potential fraud inside the Trump Organization.

Snell said he believes the report suggests that someone from Trump's company is cooperating with the AG's office and testifying against him.

However, Snell added that he believes the backbone of the case is the evidence contained in documents. He pointed to a recent report from the Washington Post showing that the Trump Organization reported the value of one of its properties to lenders as $527 million, a few months before telling tax authorities it was worth only $16.7 million.

"That is a 3,300 percent disparity between what they reported to a lender and what they reported to the tax authorities," Snell said. "These numbers really speak for themselves. Donald Trump didn't need anyone to snitch on him. He snitched on himself with how broad of a disparity that was."

Snell went on to say that many people have been "sleeping" on the civil investigation because they want to see Trump go to prison on criminal charges.

"However, this could take an economic wrecking ball to the Trump Organization," he said. "This could mean hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes, penalties, other fees that he could have to pay to the state as well as to the lenders that he defrauded, so this could be ruinous for him financially."

Snell said the New York AG's civil investigation — along with a separate criminal probe led by the Manhattan district attorney — could end up being a "one-two punch" for the former president. He added that the AG's request for a deposition suggests the civil case is "really far along."

"We wouldn't bring in somebody for this kind of testimony — 90 percent-plus of this case is already built," Snell said. "Trump's going to get it from both directions on this one."

Donnie is still angry at Bibi for congratulating President Biden on his blowout victory after Donnie's failed coup. 

Trump profanely unloads on former ally Netanyahu for recognizing Biden's win in new interview



Donald Trump is still very bitter that former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called President Joe Biden to congratulate him on his victory in the 2020 presidential election.

Forward senior political reporter Jacob Kornbluh brings word that a new book written by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid features an interview with Trump in which he confirms his rage at Netanyahu for recognizing Biden's victory.

“F**k him,” Trump told Ravid about Netanyahu. “I haven’t spoken to him since.”

Trump told Ravid that he was particular mad at Netanyahu for congratulating Biden so early, and he even falsely claimed that Netanyahu was the first world leader to congratulate the incoming president last year.

Ravid corrected him and said that Netanyahu was not the first leader to congratulate Biden, but Trump still didn't care.

"It was early, OK?" Trump fumed. "Let's put it this way -- he greeted him very early."

Trump also attacked any Israeli Jews who did not support him.

"Who are those 20 percent who do not support me in Israel?" he asked Ravid. "They are ungrateful and they are bad people."

Right on cue Criminal Donald and his weak lawyers are crying "witch hunt" again.   

NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES HAS SOME BAD NEWS FOR DONALD TRUMP

She’s staying on the job to finish “important investigations.”



A question that is never far from millions of people’s minds is the matter of Donald Trump, and whether or not he’ll ever be meaningfully held accountable for a lifetime of corruption that would make Al Capone blush. Unfortunately, we don’t have an answer to that at this time. But! Two recent developments suggest the ex-president should be somewhat concerned about his future.

Currently the subject of numerous criminal investigations and facing a clown car of lawsuits, these updates regard the New York attorney general’s fraud investigation of the Trump Organization. The first, per The Washington Post, is that New York A.G. Letitia James has requested Trump sit for a deposition on January 7. As the Post’s Josh Dawsey and David Fahrenthold note, the deposition “marks an escalation in the probe of the former president’s company,” which in July was charged, alongside its longtime CFO, Allen Weisselberg, with more than a dozen felonies, including conspiracy, grand larceny, and multiple counts of tax fraud and falsifying records. (Both Trump’s business and Weisselberg have pleaded not guilty.) At the moment, both James and Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.—who brought the July charges together—are determining if the Trump Organization broke the law by inflating the value of its properties to look attractive to lenders, while deflating them to minimize its tax bills. For instance, in 2012, when the Trump Organization was listing its assets for potential lenders, it said an office building it owns at 40 Wall Street was worth $527 million; a few months later, it told property tax officials the building was worth $16.7 million. Elsewhere, a California golf club was valued at $900,000 or $25 million, depending on the audience, while a suburban New York estate’s valuations ranged from $56 million up to $291 million, which experts say is highly unusual.

Should Trump refuse to appear for James’s deposition—and, if history is any guide, he may—the A.G. could take him to court in an effort to make him comply. In 2020, James’s office subpoenaed Eric Trump, who initially refused to comply, before agreeing to sit for questioning in the fall. Earlier this year, a judge forced the ex-president to be deposed in a case accusing his security guards of assaulting protesters in 2015. While the details of that four-and-a-half hour ordeal have not been made public, Trump biographer Tim O’Brien has a pretty good idea of how it went. “He can’t be scripted, and he’s injudicious, and he often doesn’t understand that the process is about events and facts, rather than being performance art,” O’Brien told the Post. (In 2007, after Trump sued O’Brien for his unflattering but accurate portrait of the guy, O’Brien’s lawyers confronted him with dozens of his own lies. In 2009, a judge dismissed Trump’s case against O’Brien.) In December 2020 and February 2021, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., respectively, were deposed under oath by D.C.’s attorney general, and it certainly seemed as though they lied about their involvement in their father’s inauguration. So trouble with depositions appears to be a family affair.

Meanwhile, if Trump thought he was just a few months away from ridding himself of James—who had the ex-president’s foundation shut down in 2019 for illegally scamming charities—he’s in for a big surprise.

In a statement, the Trump Organization decried the deposition as politically motivated, calling it “another political witch-hunt” and saying, “The only focus of the New York AG is to investigate Trump, all for her own political ambitions…. This political prosecution is illegal, unethical and is a travesty to our great state and legal system.” Ronald Fischetti, who has been representing Trump in investigations into his New York financial practices, told the Post that Trump will fight James’s request in court, saying: “What she has been doing, Letitia James, is working with the district attorney’s office, working hand-in-hand with Vance. This is an opportunity for them to get Donald Trump’s testimony under oath and then turn it over to the district attorney’s office.”
