The process of taking depositions at the state supreme court in Manhattan is expected to continue into next week. It is not immediately clear on which day the former president will be questioned but Trump’s lawyer has indicated that he will invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination and refuse to answer questions.

Special Guest Speaker:

Kari Lake, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Governor of Arizona

Blake Masters, Trump Endorsed Candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona

Abe Hamadeh, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Attorney General of Arizona

State Rep. Mark Finchem, Trump Endorsed Candidate for Secretary of State of Arizona and State Representative from Arizona’s 11th District

Sheriff Mark Lamb, Pinal County Sheriff

Kelli Ward, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of Arizona

Mike Lindell, Inventor and CEO of My Pillow

Looks like the judge in NY just found out about the Trump rally in AZ.

So for me, the argument falls flat. Because the argument that because DoJ or DHS can review elections therefore he can, means that any member of the Senate Judiciary Committee can attempt to make private phone calls on any matter of federal law whatsoever (since the DoJ or DHS would have at least co-responsibility for investigating justabout any criminal breach of any federal law at all) without the courts being able to weigh in on propriety.

Peter Navarro’s aide Garrett Ziegler says he let Powell & Flynn into the WH without permission: “That was not scheduled. So when Meadows & Cipollone got called into that meeting and realized that Sidney Powell and Mike Flynn were there .. they had no idea how they got in.”

I can tell you without specifics that they couldn't do this at a U.S. Embassy, for pity's sake.

SCOOP: According to a memo written by the conservative lawyer William Olson and sent to Trump at the end of Dec 2020, Trump was listening to Olson as part of his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results

Little-Known Lawyer Pitched Trump on Extreme Plans to Subvert Election
The role of William J. Olson in advising the president in late 2020, which has not previously been disclosed, shows how fringe figures were influencing him at a critical time.

Around 5 in the afternoon on Christmas Day in 2020, as many Americans were celebrating with family, President Donald J. Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla., on the phone with a little-known conservative lawyer who was encouraging his attempts to overturn the election, according to a memo the lawyer later wrote documenting the call.

The lawyer, William J. Olson, was promoting several extreme ideas to the president. Mr. Olson later conceded that part of his plan could be regarded as tantamount to declaring “martial law” and that another aspect could invite comparisons with Watergate. The plan included tampering with the Justice Department and firing the acting attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen, according to the Dec. 28 memo by Mr. Olson, titled “Preserving Constitutional Order.”

“Our little band of lawyers is working on a memorandum that explains exactly what you can do,” Mr. Olson wrote in his memo, obtained by The New York Times, which he marked “privileged and confidential” and sent to the president. “The media will call this martial law,” he wrote, adding that “that is ‘fake news.’”

The document highlights the previously unreported role of Mr. Olson in advising Mr. Trump as the president was increasingly turning to extreme, far-right figures outside the White House to pursue options that many of his official advisers had told him were impossible or unlawful, in an effort to cling to power.

The involvement of a person like Mr. Olson, who now represents the conspiracy theorist and MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell, underscores how the system that would normally insulate a president from rogue actors operating outside of official channels had broken down within weeks after the 2020 election.
