Judge in Trump Classified Documents Case Suspends Trial Indefinitely

Judge Aileen Cannon has issued an order [SEE HERE] canceling the original trial date and suspending the trial proceedings pending resolution of multiple pre-trial issues.  Lawfare is big mad.

[Source]

(Via Politico) – […] The date had been widely expected to move amid a tangle of pretrial conflicts between special counsel Jack Smith and Trump’s attorneys. Smith had urged Judge Aileen Cannon to reschedule the trial to begin on July 8, but an order from the judge on Tuesday afternoon suggested that she is unlikely to even decide on a new trial date before late July.

There’s an Alignment of Interests for the Trump Alternative Between Team DeSantis and Team RFK Jr.

You’d have to be intentionally looking the other way not to see the alignment of interests between the RFK Jr. operation and the dormant but ever hopeful DeSantis operation.  I’m not necessarily talking about the average supporter, but more akin to the financial backers and background influence operation.

Having erased all preconceptions about honest motives and intents as it pertains to DC swamp dwellers, the aggregate UniParty tribe, I am left reviewing and reconciling visible activity through the prism of constant deceptive motive and anti-Trump corruption.  Honestly, it’s exhausting.

RFK Jr. is reportedly paying right-wing “influencers” to steer favorable opinion of him as a safe Republican alternative to President Donald Trump [SEE ARTICLE HERE].  This paid “influencer” approach mirrors the activity by Ron DeSantis in his failed (currently suspended) bid to win the GOP nomination, and it would appear some of the same characters are participating.

The effort by Kennedy Jr. to peel voters from Donald Trump would also undercut the premise of those who claimed Kennedy’s main target would be Biden supporters.  Additionally, Adam Townsend noted on Twitter several days ago, how it was difficult to find the old speeches, interviews and remarks by RFK Jr., as if there was an effort underway to scrub Kennedy’s extreme leftist positions.

Then, after the internet scrubbing, we see Bill Ackman (CEO Pershing) pushing RFK Jr, and then a seemingly timed rebranding effort and video launch with Woody Harrelson narrating [SEE HERE].   This RFK Jr. rebranding video is then promoted by Elon Musk, who is -not coincidentally- a close friend of Bill Ackman.

Several months ago, I noted the construct around RFK Jr., essentially just noise and opaque activity, felt like we were witnessing an intelligence operation; perhaps driven by the IC effort to steer the election toward a favorable outcome for their interests.   The recent activity only appears to bolster that potential.

Trump Company Comptroller Testifies He Alone Determined to Classify Cohen Payment as “Legal Expense” Never Had Conversation with President Trump About It

In a normally functioning democracy (constitutional republic), the testimony today by Trump corporate comptroller Jeff McConney would end the ridiculous “hush money” case.  McConney testified he alone was the one who instructed the accounting department to classify payments to Michael Cohen as “legal expenses.”

This entire premise of the silly NY City case against Donald Trump is predicated on the claim candidate Trump had the payments classified as legal expenses to hide the hush money payment.  If Trump didn’t determine the classification, the case should collapse.  Alas, we all know what this Lawfare is really about.

Activist Judge Juan Merchan Threatens to Jail President Trump for Gag Order Violations as Part of Political Lawfare Strategy

So far, these ridiculous Lawfare attacks against President Donald Trump have backfired and generated more support.  The reasoning for this reaction from the polled public is simple; the more the weaponized state and judicial system attacks President Trump, the clearer the dynamic of the 2024 election becomes.

The radicals amid the Lawfare operation consistently disregard the intelligence of the average American; however, it should be noted talking down to people is a common trait amid most leftists who consider themselves more intelligent than the people they talk about.  As the operatives use transparently ridiculous Lawfare to attack President Trump, the dynamic of the race changes.

2024 is no longer about Republicans vs Democrats.  The 2024 race is now framed as ‘truthful voting Americans fighting against a corrupt and weaponized government supported by a corrupt political UniParty system – Republicans and Democrats alike.

As Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen design the Lawfare narrative executed by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and NYC activist Judge Juan Merchan, the Lawfare crew underestimate the intelligence of the American electorate. Today, Merchan threatens to jail President Trump [SEE JUDGEMENT HERE] for violating the gag order they need in order to continue their Lawfare attacks.

Today Judge Merchan held President Trump in contempt for one of four statements prosecutors claimed were gag order violations. The ‘infraction’ was a comment Trump made about the jury, April 22 on a radio show called “Just the News, No Noise.”  President Trump responded to a question saying, “That jury was picked so fast — 95 percent Democrats.”  This retort, the judge claims, is a violation:

“Defendant violated the Order by making public statements about the jury and how it was selected. In doing so, Defendant not only called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings, but again raised the specter of fear for the safety of the jurors and of their loved ones.”  [Page 4, pdf]

President Trump Gives Impromptu Presser After Leaving NYC Courtroom

President Trump speaks with the press on Thursday afternoon following another stupid day in the NYC hush money trial.

This is the only court case in history where both the prosecution and the judge cannot outline the details of a law that was claimed to be broken by the District Attorney in New York City. President Trump is a criminal defendant, presumably supposed to defend himself against accusations that are not outlined by any unlawful code violation or illegal activity.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Russian Philosopher Aleksandr Dugin

Aleksandr Dugin is the most famous political philosopher in Russia. His ideas are considered so dangerous the Ukrainian government murdered his daughter, and Amazon won’t sell his books. Tucker Carlson talked to him in Moscow.

Watching this interview while sitting in a kitchen in Russia is a little odd, however, what Dugin explains does seem to lineup with my perspective as an American in Russia.  The explanation for why leftists (progressives) in the USA seemingly reversed their entire worldview about Russia in a decade does seem to make sense.

I have shared that modern Russian social society is much more traditional than the expressed Western value system you find embodied in progressives.  Russia is far more nationalistic and less globalist; meanwhile, the USA has moved far closer to globalism and is less nationalistic.  Within this shift, the change in democracy also reconciles.

As Dugin notes, Western democracy is no longer about the majority of the citizens; the national identity has been erased in favor of governing rules by a minority.  The commonality of sex (two genders) has been erased in favor of multiple-gender identity, expanded individualism, which is simply a reflection of the fractured bond of commonality.  It is an interesting conversation.  WATCH:

It should be noted before people in the USA and English speaking “West” start running around with romantic images of Russia, that the Russian people do not think about such issues… AT ALL.  The average Russian thinks about social politics about as much as the average American, which is to say – not much at all.

However, all of that said, someone asked me about COVID-19 in Russia and what was the general sensibility of the issue.  I have had some rather fascinating discussions thanks to that question.

Riots Erupt on UCLA Campus and Universities as Pro-Hamas Groups Clash With College Students

There was a meme we often shared 15-years-ago as the era of Obama’s political rise started to manifest in full glory.  The Chicago Marxists, who used the power of political correctness, guilt and progressivism to manipulate public opinion, were successful.

The radicals took control of the executive branch institutions, George Soros began funding networks connected at various state levels to the judicial branch institutions and the manifesting results were predictable.

All of the current violent and extreme pro-Hamas college activity flows from the same system of NGO’s and political activist groups connected to the Obama network.  They hate Israel, and they hate the USA.

CALIFORNIA – In UCLA last night protesters and counter-protesters were seen clashing with sticks, and tearing down metal barricades, TV footage showed. Others were seen launching fireworks or hurling objects at each other in the dark – lit up with laser pointers and bright flashlights.

The Los Angeles police department said that ‘officers have been deployed, and are currently on the UCLA campus, to assist in restoring order.’

The nationwide protests have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into anti-Semitism and hate.

The unrest has swept through US higher education institutions like wildfire, with many student protesters erecting tent encampments on campuses from coast to coast.

Strong Segment – Steve Bannon and Julie Kelly Discuss Mar-a-Lago Documents Case – Lawfare Backstopped by Judge Aileen Cannon

This is a good overall encapsulation by Julie Kelly and to a lesser extent Steve Bannon about what Judge Aileen Cannon is doing with the Jack Smith “documents” case in Florida.

Kelly notes accurately {See Background} that Judge Aileen Cannon is somewhat limited on what she can do about the federal government case due to the DOJ using the false pretense of “national security” to control how the judicial branch can interact with the lawfare construct of the executive branch.  The Lawfare crew intentionally created the “national security” angle to control all sides of the case and limit the release of information to the public.

Judge Cannon has recently been releasing and un-redacting documents and motions filed in the case to allow disinfecting sunlight and transparency to enter. This approach undercuts the prosecution manipulation, the DOJ does not like it.   Julie Kelly outlines some of the details that Cannon’s releases have highlighted.  {Direct Rumble Link}

At the 12:00 minute mark, Steve Bannon highlights his anger as he rails against congress and the staff of multiple committees who participate in the willful blindness and pretending game.

After noticing how congress is mute about the revelations that Cannon is providing, Bannon notes the republicans are essentially anti-Trump and controlled opposition, which is essentially accurate…. However, he’s just now noticing this?

It is a little annoying to see Mr. Bannon discuss outrage as a manipulative tactic {Chaffe and Countermeasures}, considering the years of outrage traps laid by the republicans in the Deep State against President Trump.  The latest effort by congress pretending not to notice, and then staying quiet, is not exactly a surprise.

Activist Judge Merchan Fines President Trump $9,000 for Violating Court Gag Order in New York City Case

Judge Juan Merchan has openly targeted President Trump on behalf of the clients for the judge’s daughter Loren Merchan. Ms Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm who represents the interests of Democrat politicians.

NEW YORK – Donald Trump was held in contempt by Justice Juan Merchan Tuesday morning for social media posts and other statements the former president made that violated a gag order imposed in his Manhattan criminal case.

The judge ordered Trump to pay a $9,000 fine — $1,000 for each violation. And he warned Trump that additional violations could land him in jail.

“Defendant is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment,” the judge wrote in an eight-page decision. (more)

Sunday Talks – Alan Dershowitz Discusses the Dangers of the Alvin Bragg Prosecution of Trump

The first part of this interview highlights Alan Dershowitz talking about the history of leftist college campuses in America carrying rabid anti-Jewish sentiments.  Dershowitz walks through a history of specific colleges and the organizations who fund and support the pro-Hamas antisemitic protests.

Toward the end of the interview Professor Dershowitz talks about the dangers of the Alvin Bragg prosecution of President Trump saying, “there is no crime.” WATCH:
