  1. 27 Donald Trump election lies listed in his Georgia indictment …also lays out numerous lies from some of the 18 Trump allies who have been charged alongside him, notably including a large number of falsehoods from his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani. This article is specifically about lies attributed to Trump himself. 1. Trump’s lie that he was the real winner of the 2020 election.(Page 20 of the indictment) This is Trump’s overarching lie about the election. He lost fair and square to Biden, 306-232 in the Electoral College, and there is no evidence of fraud even close to widespread enough to have altered the outcome in any state. 2. Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “corrupt.” (Page 45) The Fulton County indictment, like the federal election subversion indictment, alleges that on December 27, 2020, Trump said the following in a conversation with two senior Justice Department officials, acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue: “Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.” (Donoghue memorialized this purported Trump remark in his handwritten notes.) https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/politics/fact-check-trump-georgia-indictment-lies/index.html
  2. Hmm..yes. Laws violated listed in criminal charges. So serious that crime-fraud exception pierced attorneys privilege.
  3. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/what-know-fake-electors-trump-indictment-2020-election-rcna98013 What to know about the Trump 'fake electors' scheme in the 2020 election Here’s what you need to know about the "fake electors" scheme and how it relates to Trump’s federal indictment following a 2020 election investigation. The Trump team’s alleged scheme After numerous legal challenges were flatly rejected by federal and state judges in several battleground states, Trump and his allies began actively pushing Republican state officials to reverse the election results. Specifically, prosecutors outlined in the indictment how they a) asked governors and secretaries of state to not certify the popular vote results, and b) pointed to nonexistent voter fraud to encourage state legislatures to set aside the popular vote and choose a fresh slate of pro-Trump electors. According to the indictment, the plan was outlined in a series of memos that "evolved over time from a legal strategy to preserve the Defendant's right to a corrupt plan to subvert the federal government function by stopping Biden electors' votes from being counted and certified." The Trump team helped prepare fake certificates in seven states that Trump lost: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In many cases, these certificates falsely stated that the electors were their state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. Those phony certificates were then submitted to the National Archives and Congress. A watchdog group published some of the fake certificates. The certificates signed in Pennsylvania and New Mexico include a potentially important caveat, however, saying that the certificates were submitted in case the alternate electors were later recognized as duly elected (i.e., if Trump was eventually deemed the winner of the election in those states) https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/what-know-fake-electors-trump-indictment-2020-election-rcna98013

  7. Stacey Abrams: It is ‘wrong’ to compare her refusal to concede with Trump’s stolen election rhetoric Republicans have continued to call Abrams’ actions in 2018 the original “Big Lie.” As Abrams runs for Georgia governor again, she wants to be clear she’s here to defend democracy. ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams on Monday cautioned against conflating her refusal to concede in the 2018 Georgia governor’s race with former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election, calling the latter wrong and dangerous for democracy. “I will never ever say that it is OK to claim fraudulent outcomes as a way to give yourself power,” The challenge is that people are always going to cherry pick the language that they want to make the points that they need,” Abrams told Haines. “… And I apologize that people can only listen to four seconds of a speech and not the whole 15 seconds. But what I think is absolutely critical is that we not allow ourselves to conflate access and outcome
  8. A secret cabal is taking over the world. They kidnap children, slaughter, and eat them to gain power from their blood. They control high positions in government, banks, international finance, the news media, and the church. They want to disarm the police. They promote homosexuality and pedophilia. They plan to mongrelize the white race so it will lose its essential power. Does this conspiracy theory sound familiar? It is. The same narrative has been repackaged by QAnon. https://www.justsecurity.org/72339/qanon-is-a-nazi-cult-rebranded/ QAnon-inspired Violence in the United States: An Empirical Assessment of a Misunderstood Threat https://www.start.umd.edu/publication/qanon-inspired-violence-united-states-empirical-assessment-misunderstood-threat

  11. Texas woman charged with threatening to kill judge overseeing Trump’s federal election interference case .. She is being held in detention pending trial, according to court documents, and a bond hearing has been set for September 13. “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b*tch,” Shry said in the message, according to the complaint. “You are in our sights, we want to kill you.” Investigators said in the complaint that Shry continued her threats in the recording, saying: “You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.” On August 8, Shry admitted to Department of Homeland Security special agents that she made the call to Chutkan’s chambers but that she “had no plans to travel to Washington, DC or Houston to carry out anything she stated,” the complaint said. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/politics/texas-woman-charged-threat-judge-chutkan/index.html
  12. I joins the discussion a bit late..I think. Are you interested for passing time currently or looking for input on some USCS issue?
  13. This other YouTube immigration attorney, Brad Live Show ..does live audio calls but he is all business and doesn’t let viewers hear the colorful story/ details..
  14. And yet specific to an I-130 while in removal, the respondent attorney can file a motion for IJ to compel govt ( who in turn prods USCIS) to a fast adjudication of I-130… At first, I thought he was withholding that info as a business decision ( to upsell WOM) ..but after seeing more Q and A on other issues…I find he is a bit stuck on “ ..oh they don’t like that, they don’t like you..”….and rarely gives any law specific advice

  16. Experts warn of increased risk of US terror attacks by rightwing ‘lone wolf’ actors This article is more than 2 months old Individuals rather than organized groups more likely to commit extremist crimes as inflammatory Republican rhetoric escalates The number of attacks by adherents to rightwing ideology has soared since 2016, as Republican lies about election interference, and escalating rhetoric from the right about minority groups, have served to “provide mechanisms” for individuals to become radicalized, an analyst said. The allure of fascism: why do minorities join the far right? Read more As the threat of domestic rightwing terrorism rises, researchers say individuals, rather than organized groups, are now far more likely to commit what analysts call “crimes inspired by extremist ideology”. There have been a series of such attacks in recent years. In May 2022 a white supremacist killed 10 Black people at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. The attacker said he had chosen the location because it was in a predominantly Black neighborhood. He was sentenced to life in prison earlier this year https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/28/lone-wolf-far-right-terror-attack-warning

No Republican party’ in US today, says anti-Trump conservative judge J Michael Luttig, who advised Mike Pence not to try to overturn 2020 election, says former president has destroyed GOP A respected conservative judge who advised the former Republican vice-president Mike Pence not to attempt to overturn the 2020 election believes Donald Trump has destroyed the Republican party. US special counsel obtained search warrant for Trump’s Twitter account “American democracy simply cannot function without two equally healthy and equally strong political parties,” J Michael Luttig told CNN on Wednesday. “So today, in my view, there is no Republican party to counter the Democratic party in the country. “And for that reason, American democracy is in grave peril.” https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/09/anti-trump-judge-conservative-republican-party
