A coup that would put Pelosi in the oval office or at the very best, force Congress to pick the president, which we all know would be far from a sure thing.

The desperation gets even thicker.

 

Now this is funny. I can just picture Trump scooping double handfuls of shit out of his Depends and throwing it at his staff and the walls.


Supreme Court denies Trump request in Mar-a-Lago classified documents case

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday denied an emergency appeal from former President Donald Trump, who asked the nation's highest court to weigh in on a dispute over classified records seized at his Mar-a-Lago club in August.

Associate Justice Clarence Thomas referred the request to the court, which did not explain its reasoning for the denial in an unsigned order. There were no noted dissents.

Trump, who has fought the Department of Justice's review of those documents since August in court as well as on the campaign trail, asked the Supreme Court to allow an independent arbiter, or special master, to review about 100 classified documents.

The Justice Department pushed back on that request in a filing Tuesday, telling the Supreme Court that Trump – as a former president – had no claim on the documents.

The Supreme Court's decision is the latest step in a convoluted dispute playing out in four federal courts: the Supreme Court, the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, U.S. District Court in Florida and a special master’s court in Brooklyn. Though a loss for Trump, the decision will not end the litigation over the records.



The legal wrangling stems from the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago. Trump asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to authorize a special master to review the records seized, to potentially withhold them from the Justice Department because of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege.


Former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally on Oct. 9, 2022 in Mesa, Arizona.
Cannon assigned U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie as special master. She ordered the Justice Department to suspend its criminal investigation during the review. And she gave Dearie a Dec. 16 deadline to complete his review.

The Justice Department appealed part of her order to the 11th Circuit, arguing its criminal investigation of about 100 classified documents should continue and the documents shouldn’t be part of the special master’s review.

A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit – including two judges who were nominated by Trump – agreed with the department. Trump appealed to the Supreme Court.

'Where's the beef?' Special master knocks Trump's lack of evidence on document claims

Judge Raymond Dearie, serving as special master in a document dispute, admonished attorneys for former President Donald Trump and attorneys for the government on Tuesday.

During a status call about documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, Dearie seemed to have little patience for either side.

Reuters correspondent Sarah Lynch reported that Dearie complained that the former president had not provided proof of his privilege claims over many documents.

"Saying it so doesn't make it so," Dearie remarked.

Lynch said the judge became "frustrated" because attorneys were spending time on documents that were not in dispute.

"I have no patience for either one of you," the judge told attorneys for both sides. "I don't want to be dealing with nonsense objections, nonsense assertions."

He pointed out that Trump has made "numerous assertions" that he owns many of the government records.

"It's a little perplexing as I go through the log," Dearie added. "Where's the beef?"

Dearie has ordered the attorneys to make a joint submission of disputed documents by Nov. 12.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has asked an appeals court to end the special master's review. Final briefings in that appeal are due by Nov. 17.

Trump attacks National Archives as corrupt and suggests it's planting and 'subtracting' documents

Donald Trump dragged the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) into his MAGA war on the FBI with a wild post on Truth Social today.

Trump charged that NARA is included among the “corrupt, weaponized agencies” that are tormenting him with the help of the Fake News. And after inventing a claim that NARA has lost “millions and millions of pages of information from previous Presidents,” he wondered aloud if the agency was helping the FBI persecute him.

“Who knows what NARA and the FBI plant into documents, or subtract from documents—we will never know, will we?" Trump wondered aloud.

Here’s the full post:

"The FBI and the Department of “Justice,” which paid a man $200,000 to spy on me, and offered a $1 million “bounty” to try and prove a totally made up and fake “dossier” about me (they went down in flames!), are now leaking nonstop on the Document Hoax to the Fake News."

"Who could ever trust corrupt, weaponized agencies, and that includes NARA, who disrespects our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to keep and safeguard any records, especially since they’ve lost millions and millions of pages of information from previous Presidents. Also, who knows what NARA and the FBI plant into documents, or subtract from documents—we will never know, will we?"

National Archives swats down GOP claims that Dems inspired their referral of Trump to the DOJ

Partisan Democrats weren't the ones who referred former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department for taking documents from the White House, the National Archives said in a statement on Tuesday. Politico posted the statement from the Archives, responding to Trump's ongoing claims at political rallies and on his personal social media site.

“At no time and under no circumstances were NARA officials pressured or influenced by Committee Democrats or anyone else,” Acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall wrote in a letter to congressional Republicans.

Wall said that congressional inquiries about the DOJ should be answered by them, not the NARA.

According to their statement, the Justice Department requested the Archives “not share or otherwise disclose to others information related to NARA’s recovery of the 15 boxes at this time in order to protect the integrity of DOJ’s ongoing work,” Wall wrote.

In Feb. 2022, it was reported that the National Archives officially referred the documents issue to the Justice Department.

Longtime Archives lawyer Gary Stern reached out to the point person Trump had appointed to be designated as a point of contact about the record-keeping issue in May 2021, only to be rebuffed.

"We know things are very chaotic, as they always are in the course of a one-term transition,” Stern told Trump lawyers. “But it is absolutely necessary that we obtain and account for all presidential records.”

On May 10, 2022, the National Archives responded to a letter by Donald Trump's lawyer Evan Corcoran making it clear that they discovered "classified national security information up to the level of Top Secret and including Sensitive Compartmented Information and Special Access Program materials" after taking back the 15 boxes from Trump in Jan. 2022.

"NARA informed the Department of Justice about that discovery, which prompted the Department to ask the President to request that NARA provide the FBI with access to the boxes at issue so that the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community could examine them," the Archives letter continued. "On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office—affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum—formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes."

Trump has alleged that the National Archives is corrupt and that they are the ones planting or destroying documents, not him. Trump was warned by his White House lawyers that if he didn't turn over the documents he could be in legal trouble. Those lawyers, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy Patrick Philbin, have spoken to the FBI.

Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann also made it clear to Trump after he left office that he must hand over documents.

"The meeting between Mr. Herschmann and Mr. Trump has not been previously reported, and it adds to the picture of Mr. Trump’s interactions with several people about returning the documents in the months before the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes of material in January of this year," wrote New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. "When they went through the boxes, officials at the archives discovered that they contained nearly 200 individual classified documents."

How the DOJ assembled a ‘brain trust for high-level advice’ on their Donald Trump investigation

Bob Brigham
November 03, 2022



Screengrab.


There have been major moves by the Department of Justice in recent weeks as Attorney General Merrick Garland reportedly considers naming a special counsel to oversee the investigations into the former and likely future presidential candidate.

On Thursday, CNN reported DOJ is "also staffing up its investigations with experienced prosecutors so it’s ready for any decisions after the midterms, including the potential unprecedented move of indicting a former president."

DOJ has reportedly assembled a team to think through the implications.

"The Justice Department has brought in a brain trust for high-level advice on the Trump investigations, according to people familiar with the moves," CNN reported. "Top Justice officials have looked to an old guard of former Southern District of New York prosecutors, bringing into the investigations Kansas City-based federal prosecutor and national security expert David Raskin, as well as David Rody, a prosecutor-turned-defense lawyer who previously specialized in gang and conspiracy cases and has worked extensively with government cooperators."

CNN noted Rody recently "left a lucrative partnership at the prestigious corporate defense firm Sidley Austin" to join the DOJ.

The DC US Attorney’s Office is also staffing up.


"A handful of other prosecutors have joined the January 6 investigations team, including a high-ranking fraud and public corruption prosecutor who has moved out of a supervisor position and onto the team, and a prosecutor with years of experience in criminal appellate work now involved in some of the grand jury activity," CNN reported. "Taken together, the reorganization of prosecutors indicates a serious and snowballing investigation into Trump and his closest circles."

And you were a part of that every step of the way.

This is real live Gestapo tactics.

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

The Department of Homeland Security launched a failed operation that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. protesters in what new documents show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump’s spurious claims about a “terrorist organization” he accused his Democratic rivals of supporting.

An internal investigative report, made public this month by Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat of Oregon, details the findings of DHS lawyers concerning a previously undisclosed effort by Trump’s acting secretary of homeland security, Chad Wolf, to amass secret dossiers on Americans in Portland attending anti-racism protests in summer 2020 sparked by the police murder of Minneapolis father George Floyd.



The report describes the attempts of top intelligence officials to connect protesters to a fabricated anti-fascist terrorist plot in hopes of boosting Trump’s reelection odds, raising concerns about the ability of a sitting president to co-opt billions of dollars’ worth of domestic intelligence assets for their own political gain. DHS analysts recounted orders to create organizational charts that could be used to establish links between the arrested protesters; an effort that would seemingly legitimize President Trump’s erroneous tweets about “Antifa,” an organization DHS tried but failed to prove shared a central source of funding.

“Did not find any evidence that assertion was true”
The DHS report offers a full accounting of the intelligence activities happening behind the scenes of officers’ protest containment; “twisted efforts,” Wyden said, of Trump administration officials promoting “baseless conspiracy theories” to manufacture of a domestic terrorist threat for the president’s “political gain.” The report describes the dossiers generated by DHS as having detailed the past whereabouts and the “friends and followers of the subjects, as well as their interests” — up to and including “First Amendment speech activity.” Intelligence analysts had internally raised concerns about the decision to accuse anyone caught in the streets by default of being an “anarchist extremist” specifically because “sufficient facts” were never found “to support such a characterization.”

One field operations analyst told interviewers that the charts were hastily “thrown together,” adding they “didn’t even know why some of the people were arrested.” In some cases, it was unclear whether the arrests were made by police or by one of the several federal agencies on the ground. The analysts were never provided arrest` affidavits or paperwork, a witness told investigators, adding that they “just worked off the assumption that everyone on the list was arrested.” Lawyers who reviewed 43 of the dossiers found it “concerning,” the report says, that 13 of them stemmed from “nonviolent crimes.” These included trespassing, though it was unclear to analysts and investigators whether the cases had “any relationship to federal property,” the report says.

A footnote in the report states that “at least one witness” told investigators that dossiers had been requested on people who were “not arrested” but merely accused of threats. Another, citing emails exchanged between top intelligence officials, states dossiers were created “on persons arrested having nothing to do with homeland security or threats to officers.”

Questioned by investigators, the agency’s chief intelligence officer acknowledged fielding requests by Wolf and his acting deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, to create dossiers “against everyone participating in the Portland protest,” regardless of whether they’d been accused of any crime, the report says. That officer, Brian Murphy, then head of the agency’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), told interviewers that he’d rejected the idea, informing his bosses that he could only “look at people who were arrested,” and adding that it was something his office had done “thousands” of times before.

The DHS report, finalized more than a year ago, includes descriptions of orders handed down to “senior leadership” instructing them to broadly apply the label “violent antifa anarchists inspired” to Portland protesters unless they had intel showing “something different.”

Once the dossiers were received by the agency’s emerging threat center, it became clear that DHS had no real way to tie the protesters to any terrorist activities, neither at home nor abroad. Efforts to drum up evidence to support the administration’s claim that a “larger network was directing or financing” the protesters — a task assigned to another unit, known as the Homeland Identities, Targeting and Exploitation Center, diverted away from its usual work of analyzing national security threats — “did not find any evidence that assertion was true,” the report says.

A Trumped-up Threat, a Trumped-up Homeland Security Department
Fears of political toadies occupying key intelligence roles had been aired publicly by former intelligence community members during the Trump administration’s early years, but their concerns were all but ignored by Senate Republicans during confirmation hearings that would ultimately inflict serious reputational damage on a number of agencies that, for their own survival, had long avoided partisan leanings.

The report is based on interviews with approximately 80 employees conducted by attorneys drawn from various agency components, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Coast Guard. The investigation began in response to leaks of internal DHS emails in July 2020 that prompted questions from lawmakers about potential intelligence abuses, including the monitoring of journalists’ activities online and the liberal application of terrorism-related language to describe Americans engaged in protest.

I&A is one of the nation’s 17 intelligence community members overseen by the nation’s “top spy,” the director of national intelligence, whose office drafts daily top-secret briefings for the president. The directorship was held throughout the protests by John Ratcliffe, a Republican of Texas and renowned Trump loyalist, whose nomination to the post was withdrawn initially in 2019 over qualifications concerns raised by lawmakers and career intelligence officials.

The dossiers, known as Operational Background Reports, or OBRs, are known colloquially within the agency as “baseball cards,” the report says. The task of creating them was handed, “with little to no guidance on execution,” to the agency’s Current and Emerging Threats Center, an analysis unit whose “actionable intelligence” is distributed widely throughout the government. According to the report, the dossiers would’ve been shared with, among others, the agency’s Field Operations Division, which works closely with House and Senate committee staffers, and the Federal Protection Service, whose core mission is securing some 9,000 federal facilities across the country. The extent to which entities outside the federal government were meant to be involved is unclear; however, the report indicates that DHS state and local partners, which would naturally include law enforcement, but also potentially organizations like National Governors Association, could have also been in the loop.

Funded to the tune of $1.5 billion, the Federal Protective Service (FPS) is comprised of thousands of security officers drawn from private contractors such as Triple Canopy, a firm merged in 2014 with another contractor called Academi, previously known as Blackwater. Its staff notoriously included elite warfighters recruited from among the Navy SEALS, the Army Rangers, and the Marines expeditionary force MARSOC.

Activated to engage protesters targeting federal buildings in Portland — including the well-vandalized Hatfield Federal Courthouse — FPS personnel were eventually joined by officers hailing from across the federal government, including some on loan by the U.S. Marshals Service tactical unit normally tasked with making the arrests of the nation’s most violent fugitives. They converged for a mission dubbed “Operation Diligent Valor,” authorized under Executive Order 13933, purportedly to apprehend “anarchists and left-wing extremists” who’d been driven by Floyd’s murder to target U.S. monuments commemorating slave owners and Confederate traitors — dangerous individuals, Trump said, advancing a “fringe ideology” painting the U.S. government as “fundamentally unjust.”

Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, convicted of murder and sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison in 2021, sparked more than 100 days of continuous marches in Portland. Sporadic protests continued well into the next spring, frequently marked by nightly standoffs between protesters toting bottles, fruit, and fireworks and riot-control squads armed with nightsticks, pepperspray, and “kinetic impact munitions” designed to irritate, disorient, and compel compliance through pain.

Police would eventually rack up an unprecedented 6,000 documented use-of-force cases against the demonstrators, who in turn reportedly inflicted more than $2.3 million in damage to federal buildings alone. Police ran off legal observers and physically beat journalist who suffered injuries at the hands of federal agents armed with crowd control weapons as well. In response to the bad press, Justice Department lawyers filed a successful motion in court giving police the power to force reporters off the streets.

Reports began surfacing, meanwhile, of protesters being abducted near demonstrations by men jumping of unmarked in military fatigues. After widely circulated footage confirmed the accounts, DHS acknowledged the abductions, as well as the fact that agents had taken intentional steps to ensure their identities remained secret.

Trump's DHS tried to label George Floyd protesters as 'terrorists': report

The Department of Homeland Security tried to ensnare hundreds of protesters who attended social justice protests in Portland in an effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump’s claims about a “terrorist organization” that was supported by Democrats, Gizmodo reports.

An internal report shared by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) contends that Trump’s acting secretary of homeland security, Chad Wolf, led an effort to collect secret dossiers on people in Portland attending protests in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis Police officer.

"The DHS report offers a full accounting of the intelligence activities happening behind the scenes of officers’ protest containment; 'twisted efforts,' Wyden said, of Trump administration officials promoting 'baseless conspiracy theories' to manufacture of a domestic terrorist threat for the president’s 'political gain.' The report describes the dossiers generated by DHS as having detailed the past whereabouts and the 'friends and followers of the subjects, as well as their interests' — up to and including 'First Amendment speech activity.' Intelligence analysts had internally raised concerns about the decision to accuse anyone caught in the streets by default of being an 'anarchist extremist' specifically because 'sufficient facts' were never found 'to support such a characterization,'" Deadline's report stated.

The report states that dossiers were also collected on people who were never arrested but were merely accused of issuing threats and “on persons arrested having nothing to do with homeland security or threats to officers.”

The DHS report also describes orders handed down to “senior leadership” instructing them to broadly apply the label “violent antifa anarchists inspired” to protesters unless there was information showing “something different.”

Ah.
So when deplorables engage in politics, its a crime.
When despicables engage in crime, its politics.

Isn't it something that rioters who set fire to buildings, including federal buildings, and assaulted federal officers and did massive amounts of damage, its wrong to identify and investigate who the rioters are.

But a riot at the capital goes straight from riot to insurrection.

Enjoy. Tomottow karma.

So how's that whole Karma thingy working our for you?
