Manhattan DA could pursue racketeering charge in Trump Org probe, experts say

Lawyers suggest that District Attorney Cy Vance might use New York’s “little RICO” statute to prosecute enterprise corruption.


Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could be considering a criminal charge that former President Donald Trump’s business empire was a corrupt enterprise under a New York law resembling the federal racketeering statute known as RICO, former prosecutors and defense attorneys said.

New York’s enterprise corruption statute — which carries the potential for severe penalties — can be applied to money-making businesses alleged to have repeatedly engaged in criminal activity as a way to boost their bottom line.

“I’m sure they’re thinking about that,” veteran Manhattan defense attorney Robert Anello said. “No self-respecting state white-collar prosecutor would forgo considering the enterprise corruption charge.”

The state law — sometimes called “little RICO” — can be invoked with proof of as few as three crimes involving a business or other enterprise and can carry a prison term of up to 25 years, along with a mandatory minimum of one to three years.

“It’s a very serious crime,” said Michael Shapiro, a defense attorney who used to prosecute corruption cases in New York. “Certainly, there are plenty of things an organization or business could do to run afoul of enterprise corruption, if they’re all done with the purpose of enhancing the revenue of the enterprise illegally. … It’s an umbrella everything else fits under.”

Despite a series of court battles over access to Trump’s tax returns and Trump Organization records, no charges have been filed against the Trump Organization, Donald Trump or current Trump Organization officials. A spokesperson for Vance’s office declined to comment on whether prosecutors are mulling charges under the enterprise corruption law.

Trump has reportedly been telling people he'll be ‘reinstated’ by August

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-reportedly ... 10019.html

After former President Donald Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn appeared to express support for a coup in the United States, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reports Trump himself has been baselessly asserting he will be back in the White House this year.

Haberman tweeted on Tuesday, in response to reporting about Flynn's comments about a coup in the United States, that Trump "has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August" — confirming in a subsequent tweet she means reinstated as president.

"No that isn't how it works," Haberman added, "but simply sharing the information."

The reporting comes after Flynn at a QAnon conference over the weekend was asked why there can't be a coup in the United States like in Myanmar, and he said, "No reason, I mean, it should happen." He later claimed he was misquoted and said there is "NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort."

CNN's Donie O'Sullivan, though, noted that for months, "talk of a Myanmar-style coup in the United States has been popular among some Trump supporters" who falsely claim he won the 2020 presidential election. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has also baselessly claimed that the Supreme Court will overturn the results of the election and that Trump "will be back in office in August."

Haberman notes that Trump pushing these baseless conspiracy theories about returning to office hasn't been "happening in a vacuum," but instead has been "happening as he faced the possibility of an indictment."

Trump lawyers warned by Manhattan DA of possible criminal charges against Trump Organization, CFO Allen Weisselberg

Key Points

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump were warned this week by the Manhattan District Attorney's office that prosecutors soon may criminally charge the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg.

Trump's lawyers were told that DA Cyrus Vance Jr. is considering charging his company and Weisselberg in connection with fringe benefits Weisselberg received from Trump's company.

People with knowledge of the matter told The New York Times that Vance could announce criminal charges as early as next week if he decides to seek an indictment.

If you can't beat them...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio says he started selling Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump T-shirts after card-processing companies refused to work with his other businesses

Protesters at Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump demonstrations could be wearing T-shirts from an unlikely source: the Proud Boys.

The far-right group's leader, Enrique Tarrio, told The Wall Street Journal in a report published Wednesday that he set up a secret business to sell T-shirts with liberal slogans after card-processing companies kept refusing to work with his other businesses.

As the Proud Boys gained infamy for taking part in the Capitol riot and other controversial gatherings such as the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, banks and card-processing services have taken a stance against the group, making it hard for the Proud Boys to make money.

GOP candidate William Braddock threatens to send Russian-Ukrainian ‘hit squad’ after rival for Florida GOP primary



Sounds like BS, but understand the intent and mentality of these "law and order" GOP fascists. And that's against a fellow Republican. Could only imagine what they'd want for the "radical lefties."

Historians: Trump Was Only the Fourth-Worst President of All Time

Today, C-SPAN released its Presidential Historians Survey of Presidential Leadership, which asks historians and professional presidential observers to rate commanders-in-chief on a scale of one to 10, focusing on 10 key leadership areas, like moral authority, vision, economic management, and more. At the top is Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the very bottom is James Buchanan. Just above that bumbler is Andrew Johnson (first President to be impeached), then Franklin Pierce, then the most recent Oval Office occupant, the twice-impeached Donald Trump at number 41. Trump came in lower than James Garfield, who was President for 200 days, and William Henry Harrison, who lasted only 31.

A right wing coup spurred on by authoritarians looking to overturn free fair elections not worth an investigation, but investigating the 2020 elections in late 2021, because they're having a hard time coping with the loss, is worthy of time and taxpayers hard earned money. Got it.

Maybe if we tell them Hillary sent two emails to the Capitol building on January the 6th, Republicans might be willing to open a few investigations? The right has lost the narrative and moral authority. With no policy to offer the people ALL they have left is Trumpism and culture war BS.. and they losing those too.

^Not in the "politically incorrect" section though. Almost every target there was curiously from one (perceived) political side of the isle.

However, when the story about them broke a couple days ago and asked about the Biden target, they then added one of Trump. Wasn't there the day before. lol

Dominion Lawsuits Against Sidney Powell, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell And Giuliani Can Move Forward, Court Rules

TOPLINE

Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuits against the attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani and MyPillow and its CEO Mike Lindell can move forward, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, dismissing the Trump allies’ motions to have the billion-dollar litigation thrown out over procedural issues and claims that they didn’t defame Dominion with their discredited allegations that the company was involved in election fraud that delivered the presidential election to Joe Biden.

KEY FACTS

U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols threw out Powell, Lindell and Giuliani’s motions to dismiss the lawsuits on every count, striking down Giuliani’s argument that his should be thrown out on more technical procedural grounds as well as Powell and Lindell’s arguments their cases should be moved from Washington, D.C., to courts in Texas and Minnesota if they moved forward.

Powell and Lindell claimed during a June hearing they could not be sued for defamation because they stood by their fraud claims and Dominion could not prove they made the allegations with “actual malice” knowing that they were false.

Nichols ruled against those arguments, writing in his opinion that Dominion had sufficient grounds to argue Powell and Lindell made their fraud claims “knowing that they were false or with reckless disregard for the truth.”

The judge cast doubt on Powell and Lindell’s assertions they have evidence proving their voter fraud claims, noting Powell “faces an obvious hurdle” because she’s never actually produced a key piece of evidence she claims to have, and said “a reasonable juror could conclude” Lindell’s claims of a “vast international conspiracy that is ignored by the government but proven by a spreadsheet on an internet blog is so inherently improbable that only a reckless man would believe it.”

Nichols also took aim at Powell’s claims she could not be sued for defamation for comments she made about the “bitter and controversial” 2020 election, writing it “is simply not the law that provably false statements cannot be actionable if made in the context of an election.”

Powell’s attorney Howard Kleinhendler told Forbes in an email he and Powell are “disappointed” about the ruling but “look forward to litigating this case on its merits” and “anticipate taking full discovery of Dominion” including reviewing its voting machines (counsel for Lindell and Giuliani have not yet responded to requests for comment).

CRUCIAL QUOTE

“A reasonable juror could conclude” that Powell’s allegations of election fraud “were either statements of fact or statements of opinion that implied or relied upon facts that are provably false,” Nichols ruled.

BIG NUMBER

$1.3 billion. That’s how much Dominion is seeking in damages from Powell, Lindell and Giuliani each in the respective lawsuits against them—an amount Dominion’s attorneys have said could actually be an underestimate given that the harm against the company is still ongoing.

FBI finds no evidence that Trump and his allies were directly involved with organizing the violence of the Capitol riot: report

Image

- The FBI has found no evidence that Trump was directly involved in organizing Capitol-riot violence.

- It also found little evidence of an organized plot to overturn the election results.

- "Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said one former official.


The FBI hasn't found any evidence that the January 6 assault on the US Capitol was part of an organized plot to overturn the election results, Reuters reported, citing law-enforcement officials.

The officials also said that the FBI has "so far found no evidence" that former President Donald Trump or "people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence," Reuters reported.

"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," a former law-enforcement official familiar with the investigation told Reuters. "There was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."

More than 570 participants have been arrested by federal officials. Investigators have found that groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys did plan ahead of time to break into the Capitol, but they didn't engage in much planning beyond that step. Reuters reported that 40 of the defendants are being prosecuted on conspiracy charges, implying a certain amount of planning and coordination.

But prosecutors have generally shied away from alleging a broader plot. Senior Department of Justice officials do not intend to bring forward seditious-conspiracy charges or even racketeering charges, which are commonly used against organized criminal gangs.

A Democratic congressional source told Reuters that senior lawmakers who have been briefed on the FBI's investigation find the results credible.

Though the FBI has not found an organized plot or direct involvement by Trump, that doesn't mean that Trump didn't play an important role in instigating the violence. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives impeached Trump on the charge of "incitement of insurrection" after he spent weeks promoting conspiracy theories about the results of the 2020 election. On January 6, Trump gave a speech on The Ellipse where he urged supporters to march on the Capitol.

Apparently rigged elections in the United States is real -- but it's the Republicans that have been found guilty of doing (some of) the rigging.

Candidate pleads guilty in alleged Florida vote scam

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A sham candidate for the Florida Legislature pleaded guilty Tuesday to being part of a vote siphoning scheme in last year’s election and will testify against a former Republican state senator who prosecutors say ran it.

Alex Rodríguez agreed to testify against former Sen. Frank Artiles after pleading guilty in Miami-Dade County to accepting illegal campaign donations and lying on campaign documents. He will receive three years probation if he cooperates, including a year of house arrest. He had faced a possible 20-year prison sentence.

Prosecutors charged Artiles in March with felony campaign fraud charges, saying he secretly gave more than $44,000 to Rodriguez so that he could run in the 2020 election to confuse voters and siphon ballots from then-Democratic incumbent, Sen. Jose Javier Rodríguez. The funds allegedly came from a dark money source. Artiles has pleaded not guilty.

Alex Rodríguez, a 55-year-old auto parts salesman with no political experience, ran as an independent in the three-way race in Miami-Dade County, pulling in 6,000 votes. The race was won by Republican Ileana García by just 32 votes. She is not implicated in the scheme.

Pro-Trump lawyers slapped with sanctions over Michigan election lawsuit

CRAIG MAUGER AND BETH LEBLANC | THE DETROIT NEWS | 9 hours ago

A team of lawyers that sought to overturn Michigan's 2020 election must pay the state and the city of Detroit for the cost of defending the suit and complete continuing legal education, U.S. District Judge Linda Parker ruled Wednesday.

In the high-profile decision, Parker also required a copy of her decision be sent to state disciplinary boards for the possible suspension or disbarment of the nine attorneys who sought to have Republican Donald Trump named Michigan's winner despite his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

So some leftist ppl believe Trump staged a coup. No independent investigation has concluded that.

Yes, apparently some do.

If it were a coup attempt, it failed. The alleged coup attempt occurred approximately four years after Trump's entry into politics -- just like Hitler. This completes the proof.
