Latest: By a 5-4 vote, and after a personal Trump call with Justice Alito, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to intervene in Trump's sentencing by New York Justice Merchan in the false financial statements case. Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts voted with the majority today. So defendant Trump will officially be the first felon to occupy the White House in American history. His former fixer Michael Cohen served three years in prison for his participation in the scheme to payoff porn star 'Stormy' Daniels. Don the Con will not serve a day for his crimes. He will not appear in the New York courtroom on Friday for sentencing, but will appear virtually by device. Equal justice under law? US Person laughs in your face when you say that!
On another legal front, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decided on Friday that Meritt Garland can release the Special Counsel's report. Garland has indicated he will make the January 6th report volume public, but because two co-conspirators in the Espionage Act case are still facing trial he will only make Volume 2 available to certain members of Congress. This is significant because there is speculation that Volume 2 contains classified information that relates to others involved in the illegal retention of secret documents by Trump. It also may shed light on the motives for retaining the secret papers. US Person maintains Don the Con was not merely keeping memorabilia of his time in office, but intended to use the information for negotiation leverage or even for their pecuniary value. Color him cynical.
{09/01/2025}After repeatedly not complying with a bankruptcy court's orders, Judge Lyman has finally found Rudy Giuliani in contempt twice after taking the stand in his show cause hearing, which concluded Tuesday. As a result of the civil contempt finding, Judge Lyman will apply a negative inference in on the issue of whether his last remaining major asset, the Palm Beach condominium, is protected by Florida's homestead law. That issue is a question of fact that will be tried before Judge Lyman. America's former mayor is paying a high price for his abject loyalty to Don the Con.
It took the DOJ four years to prosecute Don for his crimes. Mostly because the Attorney General delayed prosecution. Now, his attorneys are attempting to bury the two volume investigative report by Special Counsel Jack Smith. If Merritt Garland allows this revisionist attack on the evidence of his crimes, he will be completely derelict in his public duty and oath of office. Once in power, Trump will direct his minions at DOJ, who where his defense attorneys--to erase the record of his indictment for filing false financial records related to the payoff of porn star 'Stormy' Daniels.
In a separate action, Trumpilini's "pocket" judge Aileen Cannon enjoined Jack Smith to temporarily hold the two volume report from being released while a federal appellate court in Atlanta reviews her decision to dismiss the Espionage Act case against him. How she did this is causing observers to scratch their heads since she never had jurisdiction over the January 6th case (Vol. 1), and she dismissed the Mar-a-Lago case (Vol. 2) against her benefactor. The case against his co-conspirators remains viable. Trump's co-conspirators Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira will be prosecuted by the federal attorneys in the southern district of Florida after the Special Counsel steps down. They will undoubtably be pardoned by Trump after he takes office. Being flat out wrong never stopped Cannon in her audition for a Supreme Court seat. It is all legal hands on deck for the criminal President-elect to remove any trace of criminal conviction. His attorneys have asked the US Supreme Court to stop the sentencing on Friday in an unprecedented request circumventing his state court remedies based on a claim of non-existent presidential immunity for someone not yet president. One prominent professor of constitutional law called the extraordinary petition, "ludicrous if it were not so tragic."
Don the Con is up to his old tricks of distracting and baiting the CMM (Corporate Mass Media). This week in response to reporters' questioning, he would not rule out using the military to take back the Panama Canal and annex Greenland. This guy is a complete madman , but expert at gaining attention from the press. The US has treaties with both Panama and Denmark. President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama to return the canal. Denmark controls Greenland as an autonomous territory. Denmark is a member of NATO. Attacking Greenland would trigger Article Five of the NATO charter which requires members to come to the defense of another member nation if attacked. Both France and Germany's governments have warned against attempting to take Greenland by military force.* Panamanian President Mulino said in a video Sunday that “every square meter of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to.” He added that, while his country’s people are divided on some key issues, “when it comes to our canal, and our sovereignty, we will all unite under our Panamanian flag.” If America has another imperial war in the next four years, it will be because this lunatic starts it.
*Besides being rich in minerals, Greenland is strategically located. It boarders both the North Atlantic "GIUK" gap and the Northwest Passage. Ownership of the island is not necessary to maintain a robust military presence in the Arctic. The US already has an airbase there, formerly known as Thule. A submarine base on the eastern coast would complement Thule. Denmark is open to discussions for additional security measures. It boggles the mind that the US under the irrational Trump would ignore national sovereignty of a US ally that it has guaranteed to protect,
