UPDATE:  Outline edited as original review cited Mar-a-Lago case, this is DC case.

As expected, the first legal motion to dismiss the DC January 6 case is based on the first constitutional application, presidential immunity. [Full Filing pdf HERE]

President Trump’s attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche say within their first filing that special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case against President Trump is an attempt to criminalize actions that were well within his White House duties, such as enforcing federal election laws.

“The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

It is a strong and compelling argument, citing numerous prior cases and rulings on the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional establishment of the President as the absolute power within the executive branch.   The argument hits one of three core tenets that Jack Smith has used to establish his case.

Sheesh, this family.  According to reporting from the New York Post, Hunter Biden’s oldest daughter, Naomi Biden, Joe Biden’s granddaughter, went to work for DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter immediately after Biden was inaugurated.

While working for the firm as an “international arbitration associate”, Naomi Biden represents the interests of Peruvians in an energy dispute and lawsuit.  Naomi Biden lived in the White House from August 2022 to March 2023.

No word on whether she registered under the laws of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).   The IRS investigators of Hunter Biden were blocked by the DOJ from interviewing Naomi.

This is multiple layers of sketchy.

(New York Post) – Hunter Biden’s eldest daughter Naomi worked as a lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru around the same time she was living at the White House with her granddad, President Joe Biden, a review of public records shows.

Naomi Biden, 29, joined the Washington DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021 — the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.

She had previously been a Summer associate at the firm in 2019.

Many people are talking about this today; it is an interesting dynamic.

According to Mediaite with the exclusive first story, Robert Kennedy Jr. will announce his transition from a candidate on the Democrat ticket to a candidate on the Independent ticket for the 2024 presidential contest.  RFK Jr. will make the announcement on October 9th, in Pennsylvania.

(Via Mediaite) 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.

Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee in order to “pave the way” for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent, according to a text reviewed by Mediaite.

“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite. (more)

My thoughts are the same today as they were when we first discussed RFK Jr.

None of the Lightbringer’s supporters/voters and ballot harvesters are going to support RFK Jr.  None of the leftists who follow social media or traditional media influence operations, the sheeple masses, are going to vote for RFK Jr.  None of the party Democrats are going to vote for RFK Jr.  None of the Gavin Newsom supporters are going to support RFK Jr.

So, who will vote for RFK Jr?

News breaking from The Daily Mail reflects that President Donald Trump has filed a civil action against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder, Christopher Steele. You will likely remember that Chris Steele wrote the infamous “Steele Dossier” that became the underpinning of the Carter Page FISA application, replacing the legally required Woods file.

Interestingly, Trump appears to be using the British court system, and laws around libel actions that are much more beneficial to the plaintiff in the U.K. There is an initial 2-day court hearing scheduled for October 16th.

(Via Daily Mail) Donald Trump is suing a former MI6 officer and the intelligence consultancy he founded, High Court records show.

The former US president is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder Christopher Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia desk.

According to a court order published on Thursday, a two-day hearing in Mr Trump’s legal action is set to start on October 16, which is thought to be the first hearing in the claim. (more)

The layers of possibility within this lawsuit are actually much more remarkable than first review might consider.

Remember, as discovered during the Durham probe, GCHQ refused to assist the CIA and FBI in their construct of the fabricated theory about Trump-Russia.  Additionally, Steele has attempted to distance himself from the ‘dossier’ he created, implying his role was simply to affirm or verify information fed to him from Fusion GPS via Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr.

Plausibly, Steele could claim he simply provided information, material that was false, to Fusion GPS, not knowing what would come of it.  However, in order to take that position, he would need to swear and attest to that set of facts.  That opens questions about conversations between Steele and Glenn Simpson/Nellie Ohr about his material representations – as well as conversations between Steele and the DOJ/FBI about the same.   Names and specifics would have to be outlined in order to escape the libel.

The Dept of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) waiting until Friday afternoon to drop the latest statistics on illegal alien apprehensions at the U.S. southern border.  [DATA HERE] As a current surge is underway, the August apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record.

[Press release here]  Since Joe Biden took office over 7.5 million illegal aliens have been encountered and released into the United States. Of that number 5.18 million were single adult males.  This is a wholesale invasion of illegal aliens on a scale never before fathomed.  Joe Biden has created this crisis, and it is getting worse.

[CBP Statistics Source]

As an example of the current surge.  The city of Eagle Pass, Texas, has a population of 28,000 residents with a total of 58 municipal police officers.  Mayor Rolando Salinas of Eagle Pass recently told The New York Post they are bracing for “anywhere between 4,000 to 9,000 migrants” over the next few days.

(NYP) – The tiny city has been besieged by a huge influx of around 11,500 migrants in the last 10 days, a record setting surge.

For comparison, the entire Southern Border set a record when 10,000 people attempted to cross from Mexico in a single day in May.

The man who was seen on multiple video tapes urging the January 6th crowd to storm the Capitol building, the previously well-known agent provocateur Ray Epps, has been charged by the DOJ with one misdemeanor count of “Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct.”

Worse still, the announcement from Main Justice comes via the format of an “information” {SEE HERE} which implies a plea deal was already reached as the charge was made public.  Now the DOJ can say they ‘arrested‘ the guy, and simultaneously flip the narrative as evidence he wasn’t a confidential human source.

This velvet glove arrangement bears striking similarity to the DOJ approach when Senate Intelligence Committee head of security, James Wolfe, leaked the Top-Secret Carter Page FISA application, and was only charged with one count of lying to the FBI about it. {Go Deep} But wait… it gets better.  The pre-selected DC judge is none other than, James Boasberg. {Go Deep}  You just can’t make this stuff up folks.

WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.

Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg. (read more)

He doesn’t even have to show up in court for the DOJ to have Judge Boasberg rubber stamp the issue.

I should have presented this a week ago, but now it seems more important.

Joe Biden will almost certainly not be the DNC nominee in ’24 coming out of the convention.  Most likely, in the next 90 days, something is going to surface that will indicate exactly why and how this move is going to take place.

Biden was installed by the Obama network for a single four-year term with multiple intentions – the rapid escalation of far-left progressive objectives and policies, in combination with a need to control the outcomes of DC systems to protect the Obama network from scrutiny.  This is the reason why the Lightbringer maintained an operational residence in DC that was more akin to a policy and control command center.

The entire Biden administration is seeded with like-minded travelers from the tribe of Teh One.  However, in/around the time Susan Rice was withdrawn from the Biden team in the White House, a shift was visible.  Team Obama began a slow withdrawal of influence, and the shallower, less strategic, team of Biden became more autonomous. The shift was subtle, but people -even media- began to notice increased blunders and Biden contradictions.

If my suspicions are correct, we are likely to see a gradual Obama team exit from DC, culminating in a sale of his Kalorama neighborhood “residence.”   Team Obama are very skilled at timing exits to avoid being impacted by collateral damage inside crises they create.  Unlike what some might claim, there is not going to be an Obama approved ’24 candidate, and Big Mike is not part of the equation.

Inside the modern Democrat wing of the UniParty there have always been two factions of power. The Obama (progressive, activist) faction, and the Clinton (power, greed) traditional faction.  The two teams hate each other, each seeing only a limited pie for sharing, but they align under common interests.

The frontrunner for President Trump’s Vice-Presidential spot, North Carolina Lt Governor Mark Robinson, was bringing some big ugly truth bombs at the Pray, Vote, Stand Summit today.  I’ve prompted the video below to the point that deserves to be seen and heard, loud and proud.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson calls for state level military action to step-up and secure the border.  WATCH:

Yup, He’s Calling Home The Mules!

As you read the nine-page motion filed by the Trump lawyers requesting DC Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself [pdf HERE], please keep in mind all judges in the DC District expected this.  That’s why they sat in the back of the courtroom during the Trump indictment proceedings. {Go Deep}

[Source pdf Here]

“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial—and may believe that she can do so—her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “The public will reasonably and understandably question whether Judge Chutkan arrived at all of her decisions in this matter impartially, or in fulfillment of her prior negative statements regarding President Trump.”

The legal team with President Trump is asking Chutkan to direct the court clerk to randomly assign this case to another district judge. However, this is where the previous visible support for Chutkan by the entire district of judges comes into play.  Beyond the prejudicial statements previously delivered by Judge Chutkan, which are quite extraordinary, it must be remembered the Chutkan came from Boies Schiller law firm.

While she worked for Boies Schiller, her firm represented Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS against congress.  {Go Deep} Additionally, Boies Schiller was representing Hunter Biden in his legal defense.  Chutkan is enmeshed in the original Russiagate storyline and the later developing Hunter Biden storyline, in addition to her activist work against the J6 defendants.

Team Trump is asking Chutkan to consider the recusal request on an expedited basis and not rule on any other pending motions until this issue is determined.
