The text: Quote Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 3h But isn’t it SleazeBag Andrew Weissmann, one of the most overturned on appeal lawyers in the U.S., who couldn’t convince his “boss,” Robert “No Collusion” Mueller, to do the wrong thing, and who goes around saying he controls the “Justice” Department, including Merrick Garland, and especially high ranking Lisa Monaco, and that they’ll do whatever he wants and demands??? Hope this isn’t true, but he really is the Scum of the Earth!!! Great job on the Mueller Report, Andrew. Fight back USA! Embedded in the above Truth is the following: Quote Sal Greco @HeadOfTheTable 4h For the second time in his legal career, Andrew Weismann comes across a judge that actually respects the rule of law.

Peter Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 2 hours ago, tmj said: I think the District of Columbia just passed ranked choice impeachment , so maybe ? Ranked choice? I had to look that up on Wikipedia. Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a ranked voting system being used in some states and cities in the United States in which voters may prioritize (rank) their choice of candidates among many, and a procedure exists to count lower ranked candidates if and after higher ranked candidates have been eliminated, usually in a succession of counting rounds. In practice, there are several ways this can be implemented and variations exist; instant-runoff voting (IRV) and single transferable vote (STV) are the general types of ranked-choice voting systems used in the United States. end quote Sounds sort of British, to me. I like the usual win / lose method. And unless “something amazing” is done, Joe Biden is our President for two more years. Has anything official been done to overturn the 2020 election? Not that I have heard of. That would involve the Congress, election officials at the Electoral College, and the Supreme Court. “Nope,” as Dana Carvey said, “Not gunna happen. Wouldn’t be prudent.” President Trump will try again in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 13 hours ago, Peter said: Ranked choice... Peter. Ranked choice is so convoluted for voters, they end up getting the opposing party and their political enemy into office through their own votes. This just happened in Alaska in the special election for House where a Democrat with minority of votes got elected against a majority Republican election. Republican had 65% of the votes, but Ranked Choice allowed a Democrat with not many votes to beat Sarah Palin. Here is Sarah discussing it with Steve. Sarah Palin: Ranked Choice Voting has Allowed Democrats to Sneak into Elections RUMBLE.COM Sarah Palin: Ranked Choice Voting has Allowed Democrats to Sneak into Elections Fortunately that was a special election and the winner only gets a few months in office. For the real-deal election coming up, Sarah is trying to educate voters that just because Ranked Choice exists, that doesn't mean it is mandatory to vote according to it. So she is telling her voters to vote only for her and not for a second place or anything else that is not clear. Let's see if it works. btw - This was a scheme concocted by the Murkowski crew so she could get voted back in without votes. They know she doesn't have enough votes to win, and they had to do something, so they did this. In the first run, it worked. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william.scherk Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Re 'ranked choice voting' .... bear in mind that in Alaska, Independent voters and unaffiliated voters make up a large proportion of the electorate. 22 hours ago, Peter said: Sounds sort of British, to me. I like the usual win / lose method. The British system is more or less the same as the Canadian system for elections to the House of Commons. Each district is a single race for a single seat, one ballot is given to the voter, and the voter can select only one candidate to vote for. We call it "first past the post." Ranked-choice voting in Australia has been used since 1918; it's also called "preferential voting." Another way of looking at ranked-choice voting is as an "instant run-off" ... Sarah Palin is not universally popular in Alaska, so she may not be totally surprised at the outcome -- especially given that the winner used the SCOTUS abortion ruling to her benefit. Quote [...] Ms. Peltola cobbled together a winning coalition in the special election by appealing to the same independent streak and devotion to Alaskan interests that Mr. Young was known for. Her father and the longtime congressman were close friends, and, as a young girl, she would tag along as he campaigned for Mr. Young. But she sharply diverges from Mr. Young and her top Republican opponents, including Ms. Palin, in her support for abortion rights, her concern about climate change and her calls for developing Alaska’s resources with greater sensitivity to the needs of local communities.

The DOJ's notice of appeal (to the 11th Circuit) : https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.64.0_2.pdf The DOJ's motion for a partial stay, pending appeal: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.69.0_2.pdf Two entries from the docket by Judge Cannon, from yesterday: Of note is that part one demands a response from Trump by this coming Monday. Also of note is that the government said it had halted the ODNI processing (with respect to "classified materials"). A spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the pause in a statement to POLITICO: “In consultation with the Department of Justice, ODNI temporarily paused the classification review of relevant materials and assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents.” Underscoring its case for allowing the intelligence and law enforcement components of the probe to work together, DOJ contended that it was urgent the FBI be permitted to help investigate dozens of empty folders found at Mar-a-Lago with classification markings to determine what they once held and whether their contents “may have been lost or compromised” [Link] Curveball: There is only one court that is allowed to hear cases involving the Archivist (almost spelled that Antichrist ...) and Trump's privileges as a (former) President. This footnote from Labor Day's ruling: Today is the day both parties were odered submit names and outline processes for Special Master ... Judge Cannon is a quick moving force, to my eyes. From one point of view she is 'bending over backwards' to make sure the plaintiff's full concerns are heard. From another distinct point of view she is necessarily corrupt and beholden to the man who appointed her -- and to the Federalist Society. Another POV: giving such weight to the concerns of a former president can help to assure a fair outcome for all parties. Among the judge's concerns as expressed in her Labor Day order: “Plaintiff faces an unquantifiable potential harm by way of improper disclosure of sensitive information to the public” Another odd note I saw raised here and there in Predatorlandia is that there may be so-called "presidential records" that pertain to confidential matters about Trump himself: tax filings and medical records from the White House physician, for example. The odd note may be compleat speculation. "Improper disclosure of sensitive information to the public" is a big worry of the Trump side? Perhaps, perhaps not. (an hour or two exploring the concept of "equity jurisdiction") If readers here want to see what "Dems" in the shape of Luciferian Arguments sound like, a lot of people hang on this woman's analyses. Emptywheel.net. Among them who are spittin' mad about Judge Cannon's work but who rage in discrete, bounded episodes. I want to flag something that I think will be contentious going forward: Classified documents involving White House Counsel. In its description of why all classified documents should be exempted from Judge Cannon’s injunction, DOJ noted that classified records cannot belong to Trump, and so he has no basis to make a Rule 41(g) motion. But their explanation of why such records would be excluded from any attorney-client privilege determination is more telling. It only extends to Trump’s personal lawyers. But that rationale is categorically inapplicable to the classified records at issue in this motion, which are easily identifiable by their markings, are already segregated from the other seized records, and do not include personal records or potentially privileged communications with his personal attorneys. [snip] The classification markings establish on the face of the documents that they are government records, not Plaintiff’s personal records. The government’s review of those records does not raise any plausible attorney-client privilege claims because such classified records do not contain communications between Plaintiff and his private attorneys. [my emphasis] DOJ is right that any classified documents obviously belong to the government. But Trump’s lawyers don’t even want to cede that point. They refused the motion for a stay with respect to classified documents (which is not surprising, because in the hearing Jim Trusty said they could just make copies of all the classified records). Counsel for the United States has conferred with counsel for Plaintiff, and Plaintiff opposes the government’s motion. But there are known government documents in which the White House Counsel were involved that are likely among the ones Trump would most like to withhold: starting with discussions about materials (including a mention of Burisma) excised by the White House Counsel’s office from the transcript of the call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The particular language used here — specifying that attorney-client privilege only extends to stuff involving Trump’s “personal” or “private” attorneys — suggests there are materials at issue involving Trump’s non-private attorneys, which could be DOJ but is most likely the White House Counsel. Oh, yeah -- Trump lost round one of his big-ass RICO suit against Clinton et al. “We vehemently disagree with the opinion issued by the Court today. Not only is it rife with erroneous applications of the law, it disregards the numerous independent governmental investigations which substantiate our claim that the defendants conspired to falsely implicate our client and undermine the 2016 Presidential election,” Trump lawyer Alina Habba said in a statement. “We will immediately move to appeal this decision.” Fetish word of today: contentious. Breaking news of more filings. This will need some verification and review. These could be the craziest filings of all the DOJ's crazy filings in Judge Cannon's case. "Will not respond." WTF? All I got right now is that Trump as Plaintiff is invited to agree or dispute that the ~100 documents are/were classified. Meanwhile, of interest to Dinesh fans ... Dinesh's book publisher recalled its pre-delivered copies of his upcoming book. They said "errors," conspiracy theorists say "lAwSuIT bAiT" and we may never know, though a Dinesh D'Souza 'hater' Tom Driesbach managed to track down a copy of the recalled book and tried to squeeze scandal out of it.

In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records. By way of its Motion [ECF No. 69], the Government now seeks to limit the scope of any review of its investigative conduct and presuppose the outcome, at least as regards to what it deems are “classified records.” However, the Court’s Order [ECF No. 64] is a sensible preliminary step towards restoring order from chaos. The Government should therefore not be permitted to skip the process and proceed straight to a preordained conclusion WSJ: Lawyers for former President Donald Trump pressed a federal judge to allow an independent attorney to review all of the documents the FBI seized in its search of Mar-a-Lago, including those marked classified, saying they didn’t trust the Justice Department to accurately represent what was in them. “The Government has not proven these records remain classified. That issue is to be determined later,” Mr. Trump’s lawyers wrote in a Monday morning filing to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who last week ordered the appointment of a special master in the matter.

William, Maybe. Maybe not. From Sundance: A Different Take on the Dismissal of the Trump v Clinton Lawsuit A Different Take on the Dismissal of the Trump v Clinton Lawsuit - The Last Refuge THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE.COM To accept a bigger picture is often to accept the foundation of what is present is not what it appears. Recently a Florida judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by President Trump against Hillary Clinton. [65-page... Quote Recently a Florida judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by President Trump against Hillary Clinton. [65-page Ruling Here] The media have enjoyed ridiculing Trump by using the words of the judge who dismissed the case. As noted by the Washington Times, “Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, said Mr. Trump’s filing was too lengthy, detailing events that “are implausible because they lack any specific allegations which might provide factual support for the conclusions reached.” . . . When I was about one-third of the way through reading the lawsuit, I initially stopped and said to myself this is going to take a lot of documentary evidence to back up the claims in the assertions. Dozens of attachments would be needed and hundreds of citations to the dozens of attachments would be mandatory. Except, they were not there. After reading further, while completely understanding the background material that was being described in the filing, I realized this wasn’t a lawsuit per se’. The 108-pages I was holding in my hands was more akin to legal transfer mechanism from President Trump to lawyers who needed it. The filing was contingent upon a series of documents that would be needed to support the claims within it. Whoever wrote the lawsuit had obviously reviewed the evidence to support the filing. However, the attachments and citations were missing. That was weird. That’s when I realized the purpose of the lawsuit. In hindsight, things became clear when the DOJ-NSD raided the home of Donald Trump, and suddenly the motive to confiscate the documents that would be the missing lawsuit attachments and citations surfaced. With the manipulative, and I say intentional, “ongoing investigation” angle of the John Durham probe essentially blocking public release of declassified documents showing the efforts of all the lawsuit participants (Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax), President Trump needed a legal way to secure and more importantly share the evidence. Think of it like the people around Trump wanting to show lawyers the evidence in the documents. However, because of the construct of the lawfare being deployed against Trump, any lawyer would need a *reason* to review the evidence. The Trump -v- Clinton et al lawsuit becomes that ‘reason.’ . . . If the documents seized by the FBI were part of the lawsuit established by President Trump and his legal team via Trump -v- Clinton, then the material seized is all attorney client work product. Lawfully obtained, constitutionally declassified and legally protected material. This is where the ‘special master’ will play a key role. Keep watching. That sounds about right. Trump isn't the kind to do a lawsuit, then leave out the evidence. He knew the raid on his home was going to happen. 4d chess. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
