We will likely see more Democrats switching their political affiliation as time goes on. As the Democrat party becomes more radicalized, more people with a fully functional brain in the party will jump ship. Some people are radicalized and will never admit that that made a mistake. Limey is a pretty good example. Many in the Democrat party are like him and are missing a few brain cells. You canāt fix stupid but there may be hope for some.
So after a weekend spent violating the gag order in the NY criminal election fraud trial, Trump has finally turned his social media platform at Judge Cannon. After all the hundreds upon hundreds of posts about Judge Merchan, Judge Chutkan, Judge Engoran, his law clerk and their various family members, why has Trump finally got around to going after Judge Cannon?
Could it be that Jack Smithās latest court filing has him worried?
Cannon has been deliberately or accidentally rat-fucking the Espionage Act case because she hasnāt issued a ruling on any of the significant motions filed by either side. And if you donāt issue rulings, you canāt be appealed [insert knowing forehead tap gif here].
The danger to the prosecution is that leaving all this shit unresolved until the trial means that she could create a double-jeopardy situation simply by doing nothing until after a jury is seated. At that point any collapse of the trial due to her incompetence/interference would mean that Trump was off the hook for good. Turning delay into acquittal is so perfectly on brand for Trump it hurts.
So Smith boxed her in. He said that she has to rule on this jury instruction nonsense in time to allow him to appeal before the trial, or heās going to make a mandamus motion to the 11th Circuit, essentially requesting her removal from the case because she sucks at her job (of which there is ample evidence).
If she rules, heās going to appeal; if she doesnāt rule, heās going to appeal. Suddenly, Cannon is being forced to shit or get kicked off the pot. And, at the same time, Trump starts up a social media pressure campaign for her to hold the line for him.
Just because Cannon isnāt doing everything Barry and the Democrat party want her to do, does not mean that she should be removed from the case. The democrats just want her to have Trump jailed with no trial. Thatās not how this works. You should try telling the truth one of these days. Iām convinced that you would lie if the truth did you good.
All pump and dump schemes involve a publicly traded company with publicly available information. Otherwise, thereās no way for the marks to buy into the āpumpā part.
Public companies are required to report cash on hand as part of their financial statements. āPump and dumpā schemes involve disseminating false or grossly misleading information. I think Trump is a huckster as much as you do, but Iām not seeing where him pointing out otherwise verified (letās assume for this moment that it is) information that investors already have is stock manipulation.
In more legal winning news, there is some more detail about the deficiencies in Trumpās $175 million bond. Knight Specialty may not be licensed to issue bonds in New York and may not even meet the capital requirements to support such a commitment.
It also seems that Knight Specialty hasnāt taken control of the cash collateral from Trump, and is operating on an IOU. Thatās a bold strategy, Cottonā¦
The owner of Knight Specialty is the āsub-prime auto loan kingā and Trump mega donor Don Hankey. The more you look at this deal, the more it seems to be put together with a nod and a wink, with no money changing hands and Hankey using Knightās paper to issue a promise to pay that no one intends to honor.
Knightās spokesperson said that they are not licensed in NY, but are issuing this bond on an āexcess and surplus linesā basis. Well, as a licensed excess and surplus lines broker, I can tell you that āunlicensedā and āexcess and surplus linesā are not the same thing. You still have to be licensed by the state to operate as an E&S insurer.
