One newspaper, the Guardian, counts the active law suits against Herr Trumpillini at 19! You know you are in trouble when your own accounting firm fires you. Mazars USA issued a statement saying that the financial disclosure documents they prepared for Trump cannot be relied upon--something critics and journalists investigating the Trump house of fraud knew a long time ago. Mazars decided to cut him loose in order to protect itself from liability, civil and criminal. The firm is now cooperating with the New York Attorney General. In its civil suit against the Trump Organization, the judge ordered Donald and his daughter to give testimony in depositions, something he has been trying to avoid for months. His attorney told the court that it would be impossible to pick a jury in a criminal case against his client if he takes the 5th, which is very likely. Basically the judge told him that was his client's problem, not his. The state AG is also participating in the Manhattan District Attorney criminal prosecution of the Trump Org. More damaging discovery is at hand since a DC judge has ruled the civil suits arising from inciting the insurrection may go ahead as he has no immunity as a private citizen. Trumpillini's house of fraud is slowing collapsing.
Tbe J6 Committee issued six more subpoenas to people involved in the fake elector gambit that was part of the "Green Bay Sweep" conspiracy to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States. The extent of the efforts to reverse the 2020 election results becomes something like the "vast right-wing conspiracy" Hilary Clinton said was after her husband. Repugnants in and out of the White House, and members of Congress are apparently involved. According to the NYT those summonsed were Michael A. Roman and Michael Brown, who served as the director and the deputy director of Election Day operations for Trump’s campaign; Laura Cox, the former chairwoman of Michigan’s Republican Party; Mark Finchem, an Arizona state legislator; Douglas Mastriano, a Pennsylvania state senator; and Kelli Ward chairperson of the Arizona Republican Party. In letters to Roman and Brown, the Committee wrote,“It appears that you helped direct the Trump campaign staffers participating in this effort.”
Recently, the Committee has come into possession of two memos from unknown lawyers and Trump sycophants dated just two weeks after the election that form the basis for the strategy of buying time and installing Trump electors before the official counting of Electoral College votes on January 6th in a joint session of Congress. The conspirators corruptly ignored the fact that the states certified their electors on December 14th. Fortunately for the survival of democracy, Mike Pence, who presided over the session and was seen as a key player in the scheme, refused to participate. US Person asked Senator Bernie Sanders why the Justice Department has failed to act to protect what remains of American democracy. It is appropriate to quote from the US Criminal Code Section 2383:
Herr Trumpillini committed the most serious political crime an American politician can commit, and he did it in plain sight of millions, not just on Fifth Avenue. Yet he and his co-conspirators have yet to face criminal charges thirteen months later. What explains this absurd situation? Is it because Washington elites only pay lip service to the rule of law? Real consequences are only for the little people--like those bigoted, delusional, or stupid enough to have followed his command to "fight like hell" on January 6th, a day that will also live in infamy.Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
