INDICTED (INDICATED) #4 - Quadfecta! Perfecta? - Judge Scott McAfee - Georgia v. Trump ET AL - P01135809- Fani Willis

[Reality Check]

No one read the Mueller report. A shocking number of Americans can't read, and those who can read have short attention spans or won't read. If the Georgia trial is streamed/on teevee, it'll get more eyeballs.

Of course Billy Barr preemptively sabotaged the Mueller report by releasing a summary full of critical omissions and quotes pulled out context to give Trump the cover to say it proved there was no collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign when there clearly was.

[realist]

He certainly has his lies all lined up. Most are transparent and laughable. Wonder if that taking the stand under oath is going to come back to haunt him.

"The state pressured former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about a text Meadows sent to Georgia Secretary of State chief investigator Frances Watson that read: "Is there any way to speed up Fulton County signature verdicts in order to have results before Jan. 6 if Trump campaign assist financially?"
Meadows claimed he was in a unique relationship, acting as chief of staff but not offering federal funds.
When prosecutors asked why he was making a financial offer, Meadows claimed he was trying to ask if the speed of counting was due to an overtime issue or financial constraint."

How is that acting as chief of staff to the executive? That's a purely campaign function. Even I can tell that.

But, but, but…he specifically mentions campaign help. Chiefs of Staff shouldn’t be talking about campaign funds. Am I wrong?

Meadows need to start taking the 5th before he admits to Hatch Act violations.

[Kendra]

Sounds like a pretty crappy Monday for Meadows. Pity

[Luke]

Hardly any of them read the indictments but they feel qualified to opine. When I asked one, she admitted she hadn't but was posting up a storm... gave her the link.

[bob]

Meadows need to start taking the 5th before he admits to Hatch Act violations.

Yet Meadows was the one who filed for removal. No one made him run to federal court and tattle on himself.

[bob]

"For completeness": Just Security: The Hatch Act Bars Meadows’ Removal Bid.

Because, as the turtle noted, the Hatch Act prevents campaigning/political activity by federal employees.

That is so cool! What great news!

[pipistrelle]

yeah, and does Meadows think judges don't know that?

The judge isn't entirely his audience.

He's got to be seen doing his loyal part to drag this out because TFG sees that only as a benefit.

I heard some talking head suggesting Trump likely will file for removal, but delay filing until the 30th day since that's the last day he can file (thus making his hearing for that as late as possible...)

Because of course she did. Didn't ask, but there's no doubt in my mind that Silk would bail Foggy out if it was necessary, she's that kind of lady.

MAGA Podcaster ‘Silk’ Springs Pastor Out of Jail in Trump’s Georgia Case
BAILED OUT
Josh Fiallo Justin Rohrlich Updated Aug. 25, 2023 2:54PM EDT

Stephen Cliffgard Lee, the “nervous” pastor indicted alongside Donald Trump and 17 others in Georgia, was able to post bail on Friday thanks largely to a hefty donation from the infamous MAGA podcaster “Silk” from “Diamond and Silk,” his attorney told The Daily Beast. Lee, who’s accused of intimidating an election worker, was the last of 19 co-defendants to surrender to authorities. His attorney, David Shestokas, suggested Lee’s delay was money-related, with the Chicago pastor short by thousands on his $75,000 bond. Shestokas, who spoke at length about Lee’s case to The Daily Beast last week, said Silk spoke about Lee’s situation on her Thursday night podcast, telling her listeners that Lee “needs to be in church on Sunday.” Shestokas said Silk, whose real name is Herneitha Hardaway, cut a check for $3,500 to start, and by the time Lee turned himself in on Friday—an hour before the court-mandated deadline—he had enough money to bail out. Shestokas called it “a miracle.”

10% fee for the surety bond, $7,500 is still a hefty chunk of change.

	It's really difficult running a calendar, but I will give it a shot. The dates change so fast it'll make your head spin. Lemme set this thing up. It will only have dates from the four criminal cases in which the former president of the United States of America is now a criminal defendant. And I will probably bitch about it as I work on it. GUARDS! Take Orlylicious to the cellars!

[Frater I*I]

GUARDS! Take Orlylicious to the cellars![/mod]

M'Lord...if I might suggest a different punishment...that perhaps since Orlylicious suggested the calendar, that he be chained to it's desk and force to update it...

	Hokay. I have a page, with the four states (okay, three states and one district) in alphabatetical order, and you can see that by clicking Quick links at the top of this very page. The alphabatetical stuff is on the actual page itself. Hokay, so far all I have is the names of where we are. Mañana we will give this some serious attention. Or I might could get a nice nap.

Steve Bannon, Jim Hoft and the Gateway House of Boys are SUPER ANGRY.

How DARE people laugh at T*****'s self-reported 215lbs and "strawberry blonde" hair.

How DARE people appreciate that T**** and his allies got caught trying to subvert the election.

Here's a very pleasant hour of coping, seething, hollering, threatening, whining & plotting. The paper tigers are out for blood. If we hadn't heard all this in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2 special elections in Georgia, it might ring a drop more true. But this is just a circle group of angry losers. It's delightful. Enjoy with your favorite adult beverage. (Note: Podcast Addict now works on desktop and it runs really smoothly.)

Great hearing them having to go back to saying," on the first impeachment"... and all the ridiculousness that T***** has been impeached or indicted for. Total Fantasyland.

And Republicans take as much heat (maybe more) than Democrats. Bannon rails on Brian Kemp having been SoS for 8 years before governor. "What kind of guy spends 8 years as SoS of Georgia... is that even a job? Is that a job for a grown man???" (!!)

They are so full of sh*t, going back two years with bogus, unproven claims. Amazing the marks still lap this up. Steve & Him DEMAND the House return for a SPECIAL SESSION to address this. ha ha ha, hahahaha.

As per Article V, Section 3, Paragraph II of the GA State Constitution, technically, yes.

Must have been a citizen of the United States for 10 years
Must have been a legal resident of the state for four years immediately preceding election or appointment
Must have attained the age of 25 years by the date of assuming office.

So, you know, by definition, it's a job for an adult. Unlike, you know, Bannon's.
