While the Epstein issue for President Trump is escalating, the  life of those cronies he pardoned for helping him attempt a coup in January of 2021 has also worsened . The Georgia election interference case against President Trump just appointed a new prosector for that case. Peter Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, headed a nonpartisan state agency to select one, and he was chosen. He replaces Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. As you know federal pardons don't apply to state crimes. The judge remains the same, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. Remember this? A Fulton County grand jury    indicted   Trump in 2023 when he was out of office along with 18 others who allegedly formed a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, which Trump narrowly lost to President Joe Biden. Following the loss, Trump had   famously called   Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and asked him to “find” the...

A D.C. Federal appeals court of three judges unanimously today ruled that Donald Trump can face trial on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and that he is not immune to prosecution.  Yes, all women:  Judges J. Michelle Childs, Florence Pan and Karen Henderson.  Want to read what they said?   HERE .  This was largely expected, and now will go to the Supreme Court.  It will either accept the judgement of this appeals court, or themselves later decide on the matter. If the Supreme Court delays any ruling until after the 5November2024 presidential election, and Donald Trump wins re-election, he could pardon himself of everything, or arrange for his Department of Justice to ignore prosecution.  My sense is that our Supreme Court surely must be concerned about Trump destroying democracy for the nation if he again becomes president, so they will either accept the court ruling or in a timely manner, probably by this summ...

  First, an  update about the Lahaina Apocalypse : Deaths up to 99 with more to come. Law firms have arrived on Maui to do  what they did to PG&E .  The  S&P Global Ratings  downgraded Hawaiian Electric stock to junk. Real estate predators are attempting to get wildfire victims to sell their land . Today, part one about the state of Georgia.  Sometime later this week will come GEORGIA:  Entertainment Trifecta, featuring the  #1 Major League Baseball Team , the Atlanta Braves,  #1 college football team , Georgia Bulldogs, and #1 TV attraction, the Donald Trump Georgia Indictment, for the odds are good that the  whole trial will be televised . But about today, here is a Fox News link so you can read about the  status of Donald Trump's Georgia indictment from a supportive news source .  But if you must, here is where you can read the  views of NBC News .  And, by the way, if you don't know what RICO stands f...

Well, the day finally came, for former president Donald Trump was arraigned in a Florida court, indicted, electronically fingerprinted, plead not guilty to everything, released, should get $2 million at a fundraiser and will  give a speech tonight  at 8:45PM EDT from his Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.  On what, who really knows.  But his judge has not limited what he can say. You can read the details  here .  Some might want to watch the analyses on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow and her cohorts at 8PM EDT. Here is my take: The court cases are getting more and more serious for Trump.  Sure, "stealing"  15 boxes  of  more than 300 ( 325, actually ) confidential files  and  11,000 records  from his office when he left the presidency was a concern.  Worse was his effort to defy the government which tried to get those papers back.  This was nothing like Biden and Pence embarrassingly returning mostly trivial infor...
