In the history of our Country there cannot have been a more damaged or less credible witness at trial than fully disbarred lawyer and felon, Michael Cohen. The Southern District of New York (SDNY) wrote a scathing assessment of him, including, “Michael Cohen is a lawyer who, rather than setting an example of respect for the law, instead chose to break the law, repeatedly over many years & in a variety of ways…Each of his crimes involved deception,” & deception & lying is what he is doing here!

Remember, Michael Cohen was a lawyer who also represented clients other than me, and who did business transactions for himself, like Taxi Cab Medallions, etc. I had nothing to do with his outside businesses. On three separate occasions, Cohen asked me to grant him a Presidential Pardon on events having to do with these outside interests. I said, correctly, “NO.” Sometime after that he became a Fake Storyteller, and began to lie about events!

Page 1: While Congress is at it, they should look at the Corrupt Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James, who got elected solely on a “I WILL GET TRUMP” platform, without knowing anything about me. She then brought a completely bogus lawsuit, which is presided over by an A.G. picked, Trump hating Judge, a political hack whose Court this case should not be in - It shoud be in the Commercial Division, but he wouldn’t let go, is pushing it hard, and knows exactly what he wants to do….

Arizona Patriots Hosting Rallies TODAY for President Trump in Gilbert and Phoenix

 

Arizona Patriots have organized rallies and prayer events for President Trump this afternoon and evening in response to the possible sham indictment and arrest of President Trump over disproven Stormy Daniels bribery allegations starting at 5:30 EST.

 

Earlier this year, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA Stormy Daniels, in 2016 and unilaterally elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony. It was recently revealed that President Trump might be arrested this week, or next week, according to a leak from DA Alvin Bragg’s office.

 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kari Lake will also host a prayer rally at 10:30 am from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm at Without Walls Church, located at 1303 S Lindsay Rd. in Mesa, Arizona.

 

The Arizona Supreme Court is holding a conference today to consider Lake’s historic election lawsuit. She calls on Patriots to attend her morning event to pray for “our country, our state, our election case, and the justices who will be considering it.”

 

Lake’s event is not political or in protest of President Trump’s junk charges, however, The Gateway Pundit reported that Lake delivered a statement blasting the political persecution of President Trump and calling on patriots to protest and stop living in fear of radical left infiltrators.

 

Despite the dire need for Americans to stand up and fight, The Gateway Pundit reported that 85% of likely Trump supporters who responded to a poll on Truth Social believe that protesting against Trump being arrested is “a J6-style trap.” This is ludicrous thinking and exactly what the left wants.

 

President Trump Truthed over the weekend in response to the leaked indictment, “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

 

We should seriously doubt that President Trump would call on us to walk into a J6-style trap!

 

Patriots will hold a prayer vigil and march of Jericho for President Trump starting at 2 pm on the sidewalk in front of San Tan Bible Church at 4635 E Baseline Rd in Gilbert, Arizona.

 

A Trump Loyalty Rally, hosted by J6er and political persecution victim Micakah Jackson, is scheduled outside the Arizona Capitol building in Phoenix from 6-8 pm.

 

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Jackson faced charges for “Violent Entry” and “Disorderly Conduct” on Capitol Grounds for walking inside the US Capitol on January 6 after he was let inside by police officers along with hundreds of other Trump supporters.

 

Patriots should abandon all fears of a J6-style setup and peacefully attend these events to show their support for President Trump.

Trump Gains Again In Polling Against Potential Rival Desantis

 

President Donald Trump continued to broaden his lead in the newest Morning Consult poll tracking the GOP 2024 presidential primary race.

 

According to their data, which was updated on March 21, President Donald Trump holds an enormous 54 percent of support among GOP voters for the Republican nomination.

 

His potential political rival in the 2024 presidential race, Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., won 26 percent of support in the same poll.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who has not announced a presidential candidacy, came in with 7 percent of support, while declared GOP presidential contender and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley came in with 4 percent of support.

 

GOP candidate and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy scored 1 percent of support.

 

The spread between Trump and DeSantis is his strongest yet in the Morning Consult poll, demonstrating a whopping 28-point gap between the two men. In January, Trump let DeSantis by 11 points. In February, Trump led by 18 points. Between March 14 and March 19, Trump gained another four points, jumping from a 24-point lead to a 28-point lead.

 

As reported by RSBN, Trump’s favorable numbers have been reflected all across the board heading into a heated 2024 presidential primary season, with Premise Data recently reflecting Trump’s 52 percent lead for a 2024 National Republican Primary against DeSantis’s 26 percent.

 

CWS Research also found last week that President Trump garnered a huge 27-point net swing in his direction in the great state of Texas, commanding the primary field with 43 percent of support to 27 percent of voters who preferred DeSantis.

 

Interestingly, an Emerson College survey conducted between March 13-15 found that in Florida, where Gov. DeSantis won his reelection by a 20-point landslide, President Trump had a 3-point lead among Florida GOP voters, with Trump at 47 percent of support to DeSantis’s 44 percent in the Sunshine State.

Following His Brother’s Death to Alcoholism, President Trump Encourages Children to Not Do Drugs, Not Smoke and Not Drink Alcohol (Too Much)

 

President Trump has done something consistently that the Mainstream Media almost never reports. He’s consistently told children, including his own not to do drugs, smoke cigarettes, or drink (too much).

 

In 2019, Newsweek even reported on President Trump’s message to children:

 

As the children of White House staffers and some members of the press corps gathered Thursday to meet President Donald Trump as part of the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day in Washington, the president gave them some life advice.

 

“Never take drugs, don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke. Enjoy your life. OK?” Trump told the dozens of children on the South Lawn, adding that he had imparted the same wisdom on his own five children: Ivanka, Donald Jr., Tiffany, Barron and Eric. Trump has previously stated that he doesn’t drink alcohol, smoke or use drugs.

 

The president then joked that he had given the advice to Ivanka Trump so many times throughout the years that she asked him to stop.

 

President Trump backs this up by not doing drugs, smoking or drinking himself. This was in part due to his older brother’s addiction to alcohol. President Trump spoke about this in People magazine in August of 2019.

 

In an interview published this week, President Donald Trump opened up about what he has described as a formative part of his life: witnessing the life and death of his older brother, Fred Trump Jr., killed at 42 from a heart attack linked to alcoholism.

 

Speaking with The Washington Post, the president said his brother’s heavy drinking had given him a empathetic view of the challenges of addiction, which he said he has brought to the White House in combatting the opioid epidemic.

 

“I don’t know what I’d be working, devoting the kind of time and energy and even the money we are allocating to it,” he said, adding, “I don’t know that I’d be doing that had I not had the experience with Fred.”

 

Here is a video of President Trump encouraging children not to do drugs, smoke or drink.

NEW YORK CITY GRAND JURY TO RECONVENE ON WEDNESDAY IN TRUMP LAWFARE PROBE

 

ABC News reported minutes ago that DA Alvin Bragg’s Grand Jury will reconvene on Wednesday to weigh charges against President Donald Trump.

 

Democrats are hoping that they can interfere with democracy by disqualifying President Trump from running again for US president.

 

The Soros-funded and lawless New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg promised before his election that he would go after President Trump. This is the new reality in America. If you cross the Communist Democrats you will be dealt with.

Agenda47: President Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People

March 21, 2023

 

Mar-a-Lago, FL—President Donald J. Trump announced a bold plan to return power back to the American people by cleaning out the Deep State, firing rogue bureaucrats and career politicians, and targeting government corruption.

 

This plan will also end the ongoing weaponization of the justice system that targets its political enemies simply because of their political or religious beliefs.

 

Watch President Trump’s plan to shatter the Deep State and restore our democracy.

 

 

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO SHATTER THE DEEP STATE AND RETURN POWER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

 

“I will shatter the Deep State, and restore government that is controlled by the People.” - President Donald J. Trump

 

CLEAN OUT THE DEEP STATE: President Trump has announced a ten-point plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption:

 

  1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats.

  2. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus.

  3. Fundamentally reform the FISA courts, ensuring that corruption is rooted out.

  4. Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.

  5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.

  6. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state.

  7. Establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure that they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.

  8. Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado.

 

Up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington.

 

  1. Ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma.

  2. Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.

 

FIRE ROGUE BUREAUCRATS AND CAREER POLITICIANS: President Trump’s plan will ensure that federal bureaucrats and politicians are held accountable to the American people.

 

Currently, removing corrupt or poor-performing federal workers is time consuming and cumbersome. Firing underperforming employees takes a year or longer, and is often completely impossible.

 

One study found that over a ten-year period, federal employees were fired at a rate of less than one in one thousand per year.

 

Additionally, Congressional term limits are necessary to curb the rise of career politicians—the reelection rate for House members is 94% and over the past half century has not fallen below 80%. The re-election rate for the Senate in 2022 was 100% and has not fallen below 75% since 1982.

TARGET GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION: President Trump’s plan targets the corruption that has plagued our federal government and harmed Americans.

 

The Biden administration has weaponized the FBI and DOJ to target conservatives, Christians, and their political enemies.

 

A leaked and since-withdrawn FBI memo recently revealed that FBI agents were likening traditional Catholics to “domestic terrorists.”

 

Bureaucrats from the FBI and DHS directly colluded with social media companies during the 2020 election to censor Americans’ speech.

 

During the Russia collusion hoax, government officials routinely selectively leaked information to the media to further their anti-Trump narrative.

 

The FISA Court process was corrupted by the Obama-Biden administration. In the leadup to the 2016 election, the FISA court issued multiple warrants to spy on members of the Trump campaign that were later declared invalid by the Justice Department Inspector General because the FBI made “material misstatements” in obtaining them.

 

The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that in their applications for FISA warrants, the FBI made 17 significant “errors” and “omissions.”

 

The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that the “central” piece of evidence the FISA warrants relied on was opposition research from the Clinton campaign.

 

An FBI lawyer admitted that he forged an email in an attempt to ensure that the Obama-Biden administration’s spying on the Trump campaign through FISA warrants could continue.

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

 

Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.

 

First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.

 

Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.

 

Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it, they're lied to.

 

Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.

 

Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.

 

Sixth, we will make every Inspector General's Office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.

 

Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign.

 

Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions can be moved out. And I mean immediately out of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.

 

Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. Doesn't work that way—such a public display cannot go on and it's taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma.

 

Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.

 

This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.

 

Thank you very much.

`HUSH MONEY' ALLEGATIONS HARD TO PROVE, EXPERTS SAY

By William Neikirk and Washington Bureau

Chicago Tribune

Apr 04, 1997 at 12:00 am

 

WASHINGTON — The suspicion of investigators that one of President Clinton's closest friends might have been given high-paying jobs in exchange for his silence is emerging as one of the most intriguing controversies dogging the president.

 

Disclosures that two of Clinton's most trusted aides, Counselor Thomas "Mack" McLarty and Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, tried to line up employment for former Justice Department official Webster Hubbell in 1994 have revived dark memories of Watergate-era "hush money" payments to protect President Richard Nixon.

 

McLarty and Bowles say they were motivated by sympathy for an old friend in trouble and didn't know at the time that a Whitewater independent counsel was investigating Hubbell for bilking his former law firm when he resigned as the No. 3 Justice Department official.

 

President Clinton backed them up Thursday, saying both men acted out of "human compassion" and did nothing improper.

 

Nonetheless, McLarty has received a subpoena from independent counsel Kenneth Starr, The Associated Press reported Thursday. Sources told the AP that Bowles also was expected to be subpoenaed soon. Both intend to cooperate, officials said.

 

Hubbell himself offered new details Thursday, telling the AP that he lied to Clinton during a Camp David, Md., meeting shortly after his resignation and denied the independent counsel's charges against him.

 

"The president asked me if I'd done something wrong," Hubbell said. "And I didn't tell him the truth."

 

What prosecutors may suspect to be true in "hush-money" cases often is not brought to trial for a simple reason: They are notoriously hard cases to prove.

 

While the efforts of McLarty and Bowles on Hubbell's behalf might raise questions about their motives, an array of criminal lawyers said that the facts so far fall short of constituting a crime.

 

"Based on the facts as we know them, there is absolutely no hush-money, obstruction-of-justice case here," said Dan Webb, a former U.S. attorney in Chicago. "It is not even a close call."

Anonymous ID: 5a2112 March 21, 2023, 11:47 a.m. No.18553223   🗄️.is 🔗kun   >>3236 >>3311 >>3365

>>18553219

Richard Phelan, the Chicago attorney who prosecuted former House Speaker Jim Wright, agreed. "It's awfully hard (to prove) unless you have the testimony of the guy who's the hushee," he said.

 

Even if a compelling circumstantial case could be made that Hubbell had gained the jobs in an effort to buy his silence, that wouldn't be enough to obtain a conviction, criminal lawyers said.

 

Such cases require prosecutors to document an intent by the participants to violate the law by making and receiving "hush-money" payments, said Plato Cacheris, a Washington, D.C., criminal defense lawyer.

 

"Hush money is money given to an individual to buy his silence," Cacheris said. "I know that people are suggesting this in the Hubbell case. I see no evidence of that. He had fallen on hard times, and his friends were trying to give him employment. That doesn't necessarily imply they were buying his silence."

 

Webb said that "it has been my experience as a prosecutor over the years that you can never make a hush-money case unless you have an insider who absolutely `flips' and makes direct testimony" on payments made in exchange for silence.

 

Unlike the Watergate scandal, where cash payments were made to Watergate burglars in exchange for their silence, the evidence in the Hubbell case is indirect and subject to varying interpretations of the participants' intent.

 

Hubbell resigned from the Justice Department in the spring of 1994 while under investigation by the independent counsel for overcharging his former law firm and clients in Arkansas. Later in the year, he pleaded guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion. In 1995 he began serving an 18-month prison term.

 

Hubbell has served his full term, leading to speculation that prosecutors felt that he did not cooperate as much as they had hoped in the Whitewater investigation.

 

Hubbell is a key figure in the Whitewater case. Not only was he a partner along with First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., and came to the Justice Department as a Clinton confidante, he also maintained possession of key Whitewater files when he was in Washington. Many of these files are missing.

 

McLarty and Bowles made telephone calls on behalf of Hubbell shortly after his resignation in March 1994, resulting in a job for Hubbell from Truman Arnold, a Texas oil executive, Democratic fundraiser and lifelong McLarty friend. McLarty also asked lawyer Vernon Jordan, a close Clinton friend, to help find employment for Hubbell.

 

In June of 1994, Hubbell wound up on the payroll of a Hong Kong firm owned by the Riady family of Indonesia, which was involved in the fundraising scandal, a few days after James Riady, an executive for the Lippo Group of Indonesia, visited the White House.

 

The timing and the large size of Hubbell's post-resignation compensation, reported to be as much as $500,000, have caused prosecutors and congressional investigators to look into whether he might have been offered employment in exchange for not cooperating with the government in the Whitewater case.

 

"Your eyebrows go up" as a prosecutor when confronted with such facts, Phelan noted. But he added that more direct, solid evidence is required to bring charges and prove the case.

 

"If you had something besides that (the jobs provided by the Riady family and others), that circumstantial evidence would be damaging," he said.

 

Starr has some prosecutorial tools at his disposal, including giving a potential witness immunity from prosecution. But Phelan noted, "You've got to make sure that the credibility of an immunized witness is pretty good too."

Trump to Be Indicted Wednesday, Will Be Asked to Surrender for Arraignment Next Week — According to Report

 

President Donald Trump will be indicted on Wednesday and asked to surrender for arraignment in New York next week, according to a new report.

 

“There will be no arraignment this week,” an unnamed source, said to be familiar with the proceeding, told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.

 

The Mail reports that “the former president, who is currently in Florida, is expected to be formally charged tomorrow, after which the Manhattan District Attorney’s office will reach out to Trump and his Secret Service detail to make arrangements for his surrender.”

 

After being flown to New York, he will be fingerprinted, arrested, and a mug shot will be taken.

 

On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office responded to a letter sent by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan demanding that he testify before Congress about his “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.” The prosecutor’s office said that they will not be “intimidated” out of filing charges.

 

“We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,” a spokesperson for Bragg’s office told Fox News on Tuesday.

“In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work,” the spokesperson added.

 

On Monday, Jordan had sent a letter to Bragg’s office saying, “in light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision.”

 

“Dear Mr. Bragg,” the letter began. “You are about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis — any basis — on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue. If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the court of the 2024 presidential election.”

 

The possible indictment stems from an alleged $130,000 hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an alleged sexual encounter that the two had in 2006. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to charges over the payment in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison.

 

Jordan noted that by July 2019, federal prosecutors determined that no additional people would be charged alongside Cohen.

 

“Now, in the words of one legal scholar, you are attempting to ‘shoehorn’ the same case with identical facts into a new prosecution, resurrecting a so-called ‘zombie’ case against President Trump,” the letter said. “Even the Washington Post quoted ‘legal experts’ as calling your actions ‘unusual’ because ‘prosecutors have repeatedly examined the long-established details but decided not to pursue charges.”

 

Trump has called for protests in the event of his arrest.
