Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

Simply put, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg needs to resign. We don't have time for Trump collaborators or those who cower in the face of evil and he is necessarily one or both. Criminal Donald needs to be prosecuted, tried, convicted, and thrown into prison for his multiple felonies. Nobody is above the law.

Another politically driven effort to prosecute Trump has failed because there was no crime.  Imagine if Trump suggested firing a DA because they failed to prosecute his political opponents.  It would be deemed the end of democracy.  The hypocrisy is astounding.

'She just confessed to the crime': Dominion worker's attorney nails Michelle Malkin in defamation testimony



Conservative activist and former Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin played a key role in launching conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems into the mainstream, where they became the basis of Donald Trump's "big lie" about his election loss, according to a new lawsuit.

Court documents from a defamation lawsuit filed by former Dominion election security officer Eric Coomer against Malkin, the Trump campaign, conservative media outlets One America News and Newsmax, and nearly a dozen other parties show that Malkin first highlighted false claims about vote-switching on her YouTube channel.

"Well, of course, we listened to Michelle Malkin's interview of Joe Oltmann when it came to be -- the Eric Coomer portion of our piece," testified OAN reporter Chanel Rion, who was also named as a defendant in the suit. "So they -- they ended up landing on our radar around the time that Michelle Malkin did her interview on Nov. 13 or so."

Malkin live-streamed her interview with Oltmann on Nov. 13, 2020, six days after major news organizations projected Joe Biden as the winner, and the Colorado businessman claimed to have months earlier infiltrated a conference call where Coomer allegedly assured members of "antifa" that he would ensure Trump would lose the election.

"I knew that he had been discussing Dominion Voting Systems, which is based here in Colorado, as a story of local interest," Malkin testified during her own deposition, "and because of everything that had happened post-election, I wanted to give him a platform to tell my audience exactly what he knew about it and why Eric Coomer's role might be of concern. I didn't know exactly what he was going to tell me, because after I had followed him on Twitter the day before, his account was deleted -- or rather -- let me amend that. He had been suspended from Twitter, permanently suspended."

Malkin was soon contacted by Lauren McLaughlin, a producer for Fox News host Sean Hannity's radio program, asking to be put in touch with Oltmann so he could provide a signed affidavit of his claims against Coomer and use them in a federal complaint, and she helped them exchange contact information.

"What I knew about how he came on to the phone call, what he was doing there, what he discovered, and why he realized it was important only became clear to me as we were doing the interview," testified Malkin, who admitted she did not ask Oltmann whether he recorded the conference call. "That was the reason for doing the interview in the first place."

Malkin said during the deposition that she did not consider whether Coomer was a public or private figure, but she invited Oltmann to make claims about him that she had not independently verified as part of her broader effort to raise questions about election integrity.

"I think the context of the series of live streams that I had done, which my many viewers on YouTube and Twitter and Facebook had followed, understood that it was a bigger picture, an entire umbrella of election integrity irregularities and concerns that spelled the stealing of an election, yes," Malkin testified. "I believe that they understood when I prefaced my remarks that that's what I was talking about."

Coomer's attorney Charlie Cain pressed her further and asked whether she had personally vetted Oltmann's claims, but she agreed that she had seen only screenshots of anti-Trump posts the Dominion employee had posted on Facebook before allowing Oltmann to accuse Coomer of rigging the presidential election.

"So I had in my possession the Facebook posts," Malkin said. "Certainly knowing who Joe Oltmann was and that he had been covering concerns about Dominion, I think it was fair to conclude that he was going to raise red flags about Eric Coomer's role as an executive in that company, which, as I said in my prefatory remarks, had been in the headlines and was of concern to my audience."

At that point in the deposition, Malkin's attorney Gordon Queenan apologized and said his Zoom connection had crashed about three minutes earlier, and Cain informed him that he had missed a crucial piece of evidence.

"She just confessed to the crime," Cain quipped.

Trump ‘has never looked weaker’ as his kingmaker status faces a test in Georgia: NBC News



Donald Trump is headlining a Republican rally in Georgia this Saturday, but it's increasingly doubtful exactly how much influence he still has on Peach State voters.

The main reason for the former president's appearance is to buttress the gubernatorial campaign of former U.S. Sen. David Perdue. The former senator is running in the GOP primary against current Gov. Brian Kemp, who elicited Trump's ever-lasting anger when he refused to "find" the votes needed to overturn Georgia's vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

While Trump continues to project himself as a GOP kingmaker whose "total and complete endorsement" guarantees a candidate's victory, an NBC News poll seems to show otherwise as Republicans more and more are describing themselves as supporters of their party, as opposed to Trump himself.

Perdue is trailing incumbent Governor Kemp in statewide polling, despite the fact that he's running multiple TV ads featuring the former president endorsing his candidacy.

Trump also is backing his former football team employee, Herschel Walker, who’s running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Raphael Warnock; state Sen. Burt Jones, a candidate for lieutenant governor; U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who is campaigning to oust Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger; and Vernon Jones, who is competing for an open U.S. House race.

“Trump’s increasing involvement in this primary is fueled more by his hatred of Kemp than support for Perdue — now, he’s coming to Kemp’s own backyard to taunt the governor as he continues trying to oust him,” said Max Flugrath, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

“Georgia will play a major role in determining Trump’s future,” said Brian Robinson, a GOP consultant and top aide to former Governor Nathan Deal. “If his slate were to win, there is no one who would doubt that his word is practically messianic. But he’s put a lot of chips on the table here, and it’s possible that there could be some high stakes losses -- in which case it sends the signal that his grip has loosened.”

Another politically driven effort to prosecute Trump has failed because there was no crime.  Imagine if Trump suggested firing a DA because they failed to prosecute his political opponents.  It would be deemed the end of democracy.  The hypocrisy is astounding.

Nice spin. Mark Pomerantz is one of the top prosecutors in the country, a white collar crime expert and the guy who brought down the mob and John Gotti, said Criminal Donald is guilty of multiple felonies. Donnie's  crimes are written in black and white in his financial documents which is why he was trying so hard to keep it all hidden. Massive public pressure is now being put on Bragg to prosecute Criminal Donald for his multiple felonies. Bragg would be in dereliction of duty not to indict. Donnie will be sitting inside of a jail cell for either his financial crimes, election fraud, or his treasonous coup attempt. There's so many avenues where this criminal will be doing hard time for his crimes     

Mark Pomerantz resignation letter accuses Trump of felonies: The former president is guilty of "numerous" felonies.

"His financial statements were false, and he has a long history of fabricating information relating to his personal finances and lying about his assets to banks, the national media, counterparties, and many others, including the American people,” Pomerantz wrote in his resignation letter. Referencing Trump, Pomerantz said the investigative team assigned to the case “harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did.”

In explaining his own decision to resign, Dunne reportedly told staff members on the case that he needed “to disassociate myself with [Bragg’s] decision because I think it was on the wrong side of history.”

Bragg has said the investigation is ongoing.

WATCH: Mo Brooks confirms in TV interview that Trump recently asked him to ‘rescind’ 2020 election



Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) confirmed that Donald Trump has recently asked him to "rescind" the 2020 election before their political falling-out.

The twice-impeached former president withdrew his endorsement of Brooks in his GOP primary bid for a Senate seat, and the Alabama Republican revealed that Trump had asked him repeatedly to help him undo his election loss -- and he confirmed to WIAT-TV those requests continued until recently.

"The president has asked me to rescind the election of 2020," Brooks told the station, adding that would be unconstitutional. "He always brings up, 'We've got to rescind the election, we've got to take Joe Biden out and put me in now."

"He still says that?" asked WIAT's Andrea Lindenberg.

"Yes," Brooks confirmed, "and I'm going, 'Mr. President' -- I'm giving him advice, I'm an attorney, I've read the law, I've read the Constitution, I know it -- and I say, 'Mr. President, you can't do that, it's unconstitutional,' and given a choice between Donald Trump, who I respect -- he had a lot of great policies while he was president -- and the United States Constitution, I am always going to choose the Constitution because that's what my oath of office is to."

"I knew that when I gave him straight-shooting legal advice that it would perturb him because that's not what he wanted to hear," Brooks added, "and I knew that it would put my endorsement at risk, but I thought it would be the honorable thing to do, so I did it."

It's now been confirmed what we already knew that Ginni Thomas played a huge role in trying overturn the 2020 election taking part in a criminal conspiracy. These texts prove that to be the case.

BREAKING: CBS News and The Washington Post have obtained copies of numerous texts between Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, and Pres. Trump's White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Ginni Thomas, Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, exchanged texts with Mark Meadows about efforts to overturn the 2020 election



Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks following the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post.

Those messages — part of 29 total messages obtained — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and then-President Donald Trump's top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to subvert the election results. 

The messages, which do not directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, show for the first time how Ginni Thomas used her access to Trump's inner circle to encourage and seek to guide the president's strategy to overturn the election results — and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice. Among Thomas' stated goals in the messages was for lawyer Sidney Powell, who promoted incendiary and unsupported claims about the election, to become "the lead and the face" of Trump's legal team.

The messages were among the 2,320 text messages that Meadows provided the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The existence of messages between Thomas and Meadows — 21 sent by her; eight by him — have not previously been reported and were reviewed by CBS News and The Post. They were then confirmed by five people who have seen the committee's documents.
