Trump’s name should live in infamy

If there’s one thing we know about President Trump, it’s that he lies and he cheats. Endlessly. And shamelessly. But still, mostly, incompetently.

So it should have come as no surprise that Trump finally went where no U.S. president had ever gone before. In a tweet last week, he actually suggested that the country “Delay the Election.”

That trial balloon was a brazen effort to see if he can defraud his way into four more years in the White House. And why not try? After all, Trump has managed to swindle his way through life, on matters large and small, essential and trivial.

He paid someone to take the SAT for him, according to his niece Mary L. Trump. (He denies it.) A prominent sportswriter wrote an entire book, titled “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump,” on how Trump cheats at golf — golf! — through such methods as throwing opponents’ balls into bunkers, miscounting strokes and even declaring himself the winner of tournaments he didn’t play in.

Trump posed as a nonexistent publicist, so he could lie about his wealth and plant stories about his supposed sexual exploits, including one with actress Carla Bruni, who denied a tryst and called Trump “obviously a lunatic.” And his life has been littered with myriad alleged financial cons, including Trump University, which resulted in a $25 million settlement, though no admission of wrongdoing, and his “charitable” foundation, which regulators ordered be shut down.

His presidency has been of a piece. By The Post’s count, more than 20,000 falsehoods in 3½ years, on subjects ranging from his inaugural crowd size to the coronavirus, from conversations with foreign leaders to forecasts of a hurricane track. The untruths have accelerated, from five a day in early 2017 to nearly two dozen daily this year and last. With the coronavirus, his untruths have finally brought him down: No, concern about the virus wasn’t a “hoax.” No, the disease won’t just “disappear,” “like a miracle.” No, we’re not in a crisis because we’ve done so much testing. No, Trump hasn’t done a “great job” fighting the virus, and no, we’re not on the verge of a “tremendous victory” over it.

So finally, Trump’s credibility, such as it ever was, is shot — and his poll numbers with it. He stands on the verge of electoral oblivion. He’s capable of no response other than his lifelong mainstays: shamelessly lying and trying to cheat. He tried once before, of course, to cheat in this election, by using presidential powers to try to extort Ukraine into propagating lies about his opponent — and was caught, although not punished.

Now he peddles a different lie: that somehow extensive “Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good)” would produce “the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history.” Hence the supposed need to “Delay the Election.”

All untrue, of course. Voting by mail has a long, venerable tradition in this country, most notably the election of 1864, when 150,000 Union soldiers sent in ballots that helped ensure President Abraham Lincoln’s reelection, the preservation of the union and the abolition of slavery. Mailed votes leave a paper trail that renders them less, not more, susceptible to fraud. The fraud is Trump’s: He’s lying so he can buy more time — or so he can delegitimize the vote and blame someone other than himself for his defeat.

But Trump is apparently too inept, ignorant, desperate or deluded — probably all four — to realize or care: His suggestion is absurd. The electoral calendar is set in stone, by law. Title 3 of the U.S. Code makes clear that the election must be held on Nov. 3, that members of the electoral college must meet and vote on Dec. 14, and that their votes must be counted before a joint session of the new Congress on Jan. 6 at 1 p.m. sharp. And the 20th Amendment provides that, no matter what, Trump’s current term ends at precisely noon on Jan. 20, and that if no president has been elected, another provision of Title 3 would confer the presidency’s powers on … the speaker of the House.

Even the worst of Trump’s enablers in Congress dismissed out of hand the idea of delaying the election. But Trump’s suggestion was more than just imbecilic. Steven G. Calabresi, a law professor who was a founder of the Federalist Society, a conservative lawyers’ group of which I’ve long been a member (and a member of its visiting board), nailed it: Trump’s suggestion was “fascistic.” It was the ploy of a would-be dictator, albeit an inept one.

Calabresi added that Trump should be impeached and removed for his tweet, and if Trump ever acted on it, and were there time, I’d agree. Trump should have been removed already twice over, for obstructing the Russia investigation and extorting Ukraine. His effort to sabotage a democratic system he swore to protect only confirms his unfitness for the job. But it’s too late for impeachment now.

Trump’s sanction must come at the polls, and beyond. For the sake of our constitutional republic, he must lose, and lose badly. Yet that should be just a start: We should only honor former presidents who uphold and sustain our nation’s enduring democratic values. There should be no schools, bridges or statues devoted to Trump. His name should live in infamy, and he should be remembered, if at all, for precisely what he was — not a president, but a blundering cheat.

Republican Military Veterans Turn On Trump In New Attack Ad Airing On Fox News
These veterans say they're done with Trump.
By Ed Mazza, HuffPost US

A new attack ad featuring Republicans who’ve served in the military will air on Fox News in the swing states during the Republican National Convention later this month.

But it’s not a celebration of President Donald Trump’s nomination.

These Republican veterans say they’re done with Trump ― and they’re planning to vote for Democrat Joe Biden in the new spot from Republican Voters Against Trump:


Republican Voters Against Trump, which highlights the voices of everyday members of the party who are disaffected with the president, says the spot will air on Fox News during the convention in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida.


Trump won all of those states in 2016, which combine for 85 electoral votes, but Biden has an edge this year in all five, according to polls.

The new ad will also run on digital media outlets in the battleground states.

Republican Voters Against Trump is one of several anti-Trump groups hitting the president from the right.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

For those of you who don’t C SPAN, yesterday Sally Yates testified from home, via zoom (I presume?), before the Senate Judiciary Committee where Chairman Graham treated her with respect! The questioning was tough, but Sally was a good democratic soldier continuously falling on Barak Obama’s sword......let’s take a look:

Remember when we were told that Carter Page was actively colluding with the Russians because the FISA court and the FBI told us so:

 

(Look at the date: July 21, 2018)

TRUMP tweet
“BIG NEWS! The Political Crime of the Century is unfolding. ObamaBiden illegally spied on the Trump Campaign, both before and after the election. Treason!”



Jonathan Turley
“Sally Yates just testified that she would not have signed off on the surveillance of Carter Page if she knew what she knows now. That follows Rod Rosenstein saying the same thing.”

“ ...Yates also confirmed that the Logan Act was raised in the meeting with President Obama on Flynn. Yet she stated that the concern was that the Trump national security adviser had undermined the Obama Administration by encouraging them not to retaliate.”

“Yates said that you could say that Comey "went rogue" in ordering the Flynn interview. Yates is struggling with the Logan Act issue since Flynn was speaking as the NS adviser who was coming into office in less than two weeks. Comey reportedly said the Flynn meeting was "legit."



"I was upset that Director Comey didn't coordinate that with us and acted unilaterally," Yates said.

"Did Comey go rogue?" Graham asked.

"You could use that term, yes," Yates agreed.


Yates said she also took issue with Comey for not telling her that Flynn's communications with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were being investigated and that she first learned about this from President Barack Obama during an Oval Office meeting. Yates said she was "irritated" with Comey for not telling her about this earlier.

That meeting, which took place on Jan. 5, 2017, was of great interest to Graham, who wanted to know why Obama knew about Flynn's conversations before she did. Graham and other Republicans have speculated that Obama wanted Flynn investigated for nefarious purposes. Yates claimed that this was not the case, and explained why Obama was aware of the calls at the time.



TRUMP tweet
“Sally Yates is either lying or grossly incompetent. It is not possible she could have known so little about Dirty Cop James Comey (and others) from her high position in the Department of “Justice”. The political Crime of the Century, and she had no idea what they were doing?”


Sally Yates watched Sean Spicer's press conference and contacted Comey about the Flynn-Kislyak calls......this doesn’t sound like someone going “rouge” to me, this reeks of agreed conspiracy regarding subject you’re about to go rouge about!

 

 

Paul Sperry tweet
“BREAKING NEWS: Durham and his team of investigators still have not interviewed central #Spygate suspect John Brennan or former top Obama Justice official Sally Yates, who cleared two of the fraudulent spy warrants on Trump adviser for submission to FISA court”

“Barr & Durham + Graham, Grassley & Johnson now have just 3 months (guaranteed) to get to the bottom of the biggest political scandal in American history, bar none, and to hold the guilty accountable. They have 3 months to make sure it's not also the biggest cover-up in US history”


It appears James Comey will testify on September 5th

Federal Judge Hires High-Powered D.C. Attorney To Defend His Actions In The Flynn Case

Why would a Federal Judge need to defend his actions in a case?
(let this sink in)

Is Judge Sullivan ignorant regarding his authority?

Is Judge Sullivan just playing politics??

To recap, Judge Sullivan appointed a retired Judge John Gleason to prosecute General Flynn because the Department Of Justice wanted to drop the charges. The DOJ was admitting there was no legitimate reason for their initial investigation.

It appears to me that Judge Sullivan got caught up trying to use his Civil Authority in a criminal case......but it can’t be this simple, can it?

So the Writ Of Mandamus is granted by the circuit court (appeals court) and it requires Judge Sullivan to explain his decision of appointing outside council. Also, Judge Sullivan must explain why as Judge of the case, he instructed the retired Judge John Gleason on how he should carry out his actions.

Now that Judge Sullivan has painted himself into a Judicial corner, and the circuit court is seeking answers......Judge Sullivan lawyers up???

A Federal Judge ”shouldn’t” need representation to respond to a Writ Of Mandamus......should he?

I’m guessing the conflicts are numerous! Also, obvious reasons why Judge Sullivan should have recused himself and didn't, therefore overstepping his authority in his handling of this case.




Mr. Schunk, PLEASE help shed some light on this......by hiring an attorney, is Judge Sullivan now saying he is a party to the case?

Can a Judge be a party to the case and still preside over the case?

Granted, Judge Sullivan did bring in retired Judge John Gleason, but by doing so, did Judge Sullivan relinquish his authority over the case?

Lastly, and this is hard to imagine and I (doubt?) it’s legal......but Judge Sullivan can’t seek outside council regarding how he should rule??????

Back on May 26, 2020 I asked if Judge Sullivan was claiming to be a party to the case? I specifically asked if a Judge can be a party to the case while presiding over it?

On May 28, 2020, Mr. Schunk responded:

He might simply be expecting to be investigated (by the Senate Judiciary Committee, perhaps), or some other action besides the Michael Flynn case, such as a complaint to the District Bar. And he certainly did not relinquish control over the case by bringing Judge Gleason into the picture, as Sullivan would only relinquish his authority by recusing himself. As to his bringing in outside legal counsel regarding how he should rule, that's something I've never heard of, and I'm not sure of its legality.

“The presiding judge in the case of former national-security adviser Michael Flynn refused to dismiss the case on Thursday, even after a federal appeals court ordered the judge to do so.

U.S. District Court judge Emmet Sullivan issued a petition for an “en banc” hearing of the case before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. If accepted, the case would be reargued for all the judges on the appeals court.”

 

Appeals court tells parties in Flynn case to be ready for questions on judicial impartiality (August 5, 2020)

“The order, which indicated that one court may be planning to question the impartiality of a judge on another court, is the latest twist in the years-long legal saga.“

“Then Wednesday, ahead of the Aug. 11 rehearing before 10 of the 11 judges on the circuit, the court issued the order asking that for parties in the case to be prepared for oral arguments related to two federal laws that outline the circumstances of when a federal judge should recuse themselves from a legal proceeding.”

Mr. Schunk, I’m confused : )

By the court issuing the order asking the “parties in the case” to be prepared for oral arguments......is the Court now recognizing Judge Sullivan as a party to the case? And if so, regarding your assessment on May 28, 2020, has Jusge Sullivan relinquished his authority?
