Mike Pence trashes Trump as ‘wrong then and wrong now’ on alleged attempts to overthrow 2020 election

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday trashed his former boss Donald Trump for allegedly attempting to overthrow the 2020 election — and defended his actions in blocking the ex-president from doing so.

“What I want the American people to know is that President Trump was wrong then and wrong now. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said on CNN’s “State of the Union” while stumping in New Hampshire.

=“By God’s grace, I did my duty under the constitution of the United States and I always will.”(He really shouldn’t use God’s name when he knows he is lying)

Pence, along with Congress, certified the election of President Biden as the winner of the 2020 election — over Trump’s objections.

The former VP’s criticism of Trump Sunday parrots statements he made last week afterTrump, 77, was indicted on four counts over his alleged efforts to cling to power and overturn the 2020 presidential race.

Prosecutors allege Trump unlawfully supported a scheme to put forward fraudulent electors and pressured Pence and various state officials to reject Biden’s victory. The ex-president said Pence was “too honest,” according to the indictment.

“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence tweeted Tuesday.

Trump has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in Washington, DC federal court on Thursday.

Pence on Sunday said he couldn’t recall Trump ever admitting he had lost the election.

“I do know what he and his lawyers asked me to do and it’s what no vice president in American history had ever done before and frankly no vice president or any one person in Washington should do … The presidency belongs to the American people,” Pence said.

“Our founders never vested authority in one person to overturn elections and I stood on that principle.”

Pence said he doesn’t plan on testifying at Trump’s trial, but noted he testified to the grand jury under subpoena and will comply with whatever the law says.

He also refused to say if he would support Trump should the ex-president win the 2024 Republican nomination — dancing around the question by saying he didn’t expect him to be the GOP’s standard bearer. (I think its pretty obvious he won’t!)

“It’s awfully early here,” Pence said. “I don’t think we have to make that decision. I’m confident I will be able to support the Republican nominee, especially if it’s me.”

Pence — Trump’s No. 2 for four years — insisted that Republican primary voters will “choose new leadership for a new time,” though polls show the former president as the clear frontrunner for the nomination.

“We simply have got to move our country forward,” Pence said.

Trump slammed Pence on Saturday as a loser who’s gone to the “dark side” in a Truth Social post.

“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him V.P., has gone to the Dark Side,” Trump wrote.

“I never told a newly emboldened (not based on his 2% poll numbers!) Pence to put me above the Constitution, or that Mike was ‘too honest,’” the former president added.“He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy.”

Trump supporters heckled Pence as a “traitor” and “sell out” during the former VP’s campaign stop in New Hampshire Friday.

You are correct! It had to be this way. I knew 1/2 way through Pence would be one of them! Him announcing God all the time is a fake Christian trick to convince others he won’t lie, Christians know this. As a politician using God’s name to justify his lies are too obvious!

>>19310088

When Pence gets arrested or court marshaled, I hope they say to him, “Under God and the Constitution” we are arresting you. And every day they feed him breakfast I’d like the soldier say, “By God’s Grace” you are able to eat one more day. It’s sickening Pence invoking God to cover for his dark soul. He’d be better off if he stopped using God’s name because when the truth comes out, Christians will be pissed! Which most of them are now.

Russia launches missile, drone barrage against Ukraine as promised after suffering tanker strike

By Ronny Reyes

August 6, 2023 12:05pm

Russia made good on its threat to retaliate against Ukraine for bombing a Kremlin tanker, unleashing a massive and deadly missile and drone strike Sunday.

Ukrainian military officials confirmed thatwaves of 70 Russian drones and missileswere launched over the Caspian Sea to lay waste to cities in western Ukraine.

The overnight blitz and counterattack killed at least six people.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the Russian strike, noting one of the bombs hit a blood transfusion center in Kupyan in the Kharkiv region.

“This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression,” Zelenskyy said. “Defeating terrorists is a matter of honor for everyone who values life.”

Kyiv officials said the shelling in the Kharkiv region killed two people, including a 58-year-old woman, and left four others injured while also igniting a forest fire.

Two people were reported dead in the Donetsk region, according to local governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Officials added that at least three rounds of bombings also hit the Starokostiantyniv area and an aircraft engine manufacturing building in Zaporizhzhia.

Kyiv said it shot down 26 of the drones that were deployed.

Meanwhile, in the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk, the Kremlin-appointed mayor Alexei Kulemzin said the Ukrainian counterattack killed a woman in her 80s and set fire to a university building.

Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said the blaze caused the school’s main building to collapse, but reported there were no casualties.

During the weekend bombings, Russia suspended flights at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport after a Ukrainian drone was shot down in the city’s airspace.

It was the first time flights were halted in the area after two drones crashed into the Moscow City business district on July 30.

The latest aerial strikes came after Russia promised to hit Ukraine hard in the wake of a Kyiv drone — strapped with nearly 1,000 pounds of TNT — struck a Russian tanker in the Black Sea on Saturday.

“The Sig tanker … suffered a hole in the engine room near the waterline on the starboard side, presumably as a result of a sea drone attack,” Russia’s Federal Agency for Marine and River Transport said on Telegram. The post added that there were no deaths among the 11 crew members.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharov called the attack “barbaric” and warned the “perpetrators will inevitably be punished.”

(Ukraine keeps on attacking civilians infrastructure, they should expect a rapid reaction.)

Obama ‘as insecure as Trump,’ claims biographer whose book revealed ex-prez ‘repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men’

Jon Levine

Barack Obama is “as insecure as Trump,” his biographer said this week — and doubled down on his book’s revelations that the former president “repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.”

David Garrow penned the 1,472-page “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama” in 2017, which he discussed in a lengthy interview with Tablet Wednesday.

The 70-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning historian sat with Obama for eight hours over three days for the massive tome, which received mixed reviews — and obtained letters from three of his former girlfriends.

Among them was Alex McNear, Obama’s girlfriend when they both attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.

“So when Alex showed me the letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just said, ‘It’s about homosexuality,'” Garrow told Tablet.

The letters eventually ended up at Emory University, where their most salacious bits were transcribed by hand by Garrow’s friend Harvey Klehr.

“So I emailed Harvey, said, ‘Go to the Emory archives.’ He’s spent his whole life at Emory, but they won’t let him take pictures. So Harvey has to sit there with a pencil and copy out the graph where Barack writes to Alex about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.”

In his time with Obama, Garrow found a stunning similarity between the 44th president and his successor, Donald Trump.

“I’ve sometimes said to people that I think Barack is actually just as insecure as Trump, but in ways that are not readily perceived by the vast majority of people,” he said.

“I think that’s probably my most basic takeaway.”

Obama, 62, “has no interest in building the Democratic Party as an institution. I think that’s obvious,” the author mused.

“And I don’t think he had any truly deep, meaningful policy commitments other than the need to feel and to be perceived as victorious, as triumphant.”

Garrow also revealed that he thinks Obama would be “too lazy” to serve on the Supreme Court, which President Biden said he’d nominate his former boss to “if he’d take it.”

“He’d be terrible because he’s too lazy. This is in the book. It goes back to him being Hawaiian,” he said. “At one point, he says, ‘I’m fundamentally lazy and it’s because I’m from Hawaii.’ That’s close to the actual quote.”

“Rising Star” made headlines when it was published and revealed that, among other things, the former president was a sex machine shortly after he moved to New York City in the 1980s to attend Columbia University.

(Pretty sure this biographer should get protection and hide now)

Hunter Biden seeks approval from his dad Joe and fears ‘he’ll never be as good as his brother’ Beau: ex-stripper

Jon Levine

Hunter Biden craved validation and acceptance from his father — and feared he would never measure up to his dead brother Beau, according to a former stripper who befriended the future first son.

“He’d say he’ll never be as good as his brother. ‘I have to do this for my dad.’ Everything he did was for approval from his dad,” the stripper named “Kennedy” told The Post. “He was a man who just obviously wanted to please his father. It all stems from his need to be perfect — and compared to Beau he’ll never be perfect.

“He didn’t say anything bad about his dad. He just seemed like a man who really wanted his father’s approval and just wanted to do good by him,” according to Kennedy, who asked for anonymity because she fears for the safety of her and her family.

Kennedy, 35, a Queens stay-at-home mom, met Hunter in 2016 but hasn’t seen him since the spring of 2019.

She said Beau Biden’s death in 2015 at age 46 from brain cancer shook Hunter to the core.

“I think having lost Beau was like a major trigger for him to get super lost into addiction,” Kennedy said.

Unlike the libertine Hunter, Beau Biden — an Army major awarded the Bronze Star in Iraq — followed his father’s footsteps into public service, becoming attorney general of Delaware.

“He just was very sad. And I think that is basically all addicts. It’s depression. It’s not feeling good enough. I feel he was just a super sad guy,” she said.

In a December 2018 text message to Kennedy contained on his abandoned laptop, Hunter said attending mass with his father and visiting the graves of Beau and his mother and sister who died in a car accident in 1972 was “the worst day of my year.”

Kennedy said Hunter didn’t talk about business in front of her but dismissed President Biden’s claims that he never knew about his son’s shady business dealings.

“Bulls—t,” she said, adding that she would vote for Trump in 2024.

Liberal media bends over backward to dismiss new Joe Biden revelations

By Dan McLaughlin

August 4, 2023 8:33pm Updated

The president of the United States denies that he ever had anything to do with his son’s efforts to sell access to him. The denials crumble, one after one, bringing the story ever closer to home.

Multiple members of the president’s family receive millions from shady foreign interests through shell entities. Multiple figures in the story have been convicted of crimes — including official bribery conducted through family businesses of foreign leaders.

The influence-peddling saga covers America’s number one enemy (China) and the country the president is now backing with tens of billions of taxpayer dollars (Ukraine) — the very place where his predecessor got impeached for digging into what he’d been doing there.

The son’s sweetheart plea deal with prosecutors who ultimately answer to his father collapses in open court.The prosecutors admit that there’s no precedent for the deal they cut, and it only falls apart after the judge catches wind of parts of the deal they tried to hide from her view.

Law enforcement whistleblowers testify that they were thwarted by Washington from following the investigation of the son as far as it would lead.

Sounds like quite a story, don’t you think? And that’s without mentioning the sex, the drugs, the missing gun, the tax evasion, the diamond ring, the spy chiefs, and the official plot to stop the presses before an election.

That’s not the press corps we have anymore. They’re on a team, and that team is the defense for Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the rest of the Biden clan that is neck-deep in dirty foreign money.

George Orwell once wrote about howpropaganda works: a “mass” of “words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up all the details.” …

USA Today may deserve the whitewashing prize for tweeting that “Hunter Biden’s foibles provide ammunition for Republicans who want to inflict harm on Joe Biden ahead of 2024 presidential campaign.”

More specific media efforts at spin have been — as the Nixon White House would say — rendered inoperative.

Back in 2020, CNN said that this paper’s reports on Hunter’s laptop “overlap with Russia’s known disinformation efforts against Biden,” and the New York Times openly doubted the credibility of reports about the laptop.

Those outlets have long since had to admit that the laptop is genuine, and are reduced to excusing the evidence they once cast as fraudulent.

Consider Washington Post “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler and his account of a 2015 dinner at Café Milano in Washington.

This newspaper reported (from Hunter’s laptop) that Hunter had arranged the dinner between Joe (then in charge of Obama Administration Ukraine policy) and Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive with Ukrainian gas company Burisma — the same company that gave Hunter a lucrative board seat.

In 2020 and 2021, Kessler reported denials from a Biden campaign spokesman and other Biden staffers after “a comprehensive review.” He even mocked a New York Post tweet criticizing his reporting.

After Hunter associate Devon Archer talked to federal investigators, Kessler had to “update” his report to admit that there were two Café Milano dinners with Hunter’s foreign business associates, and that Archer testified that Pozharskyi was at one of them.

Just this week, Kessler finally gave “Four Pinocchios” to Biden’s claim during a 2020 debate that his son made no money from China. Lightning speed on that one.

Defenses of Joe Biden’s contacts with the people who paid Hunter for access have now morphed into “it was just hello” or “they never talked business.”

CNN’s headline? “Devon Archer says Joe Biden discussed ‘nothing’ important with Hunter Biden business associates, transcript shows.”

We now learn that Joe Biden “had coffee” with Jonathan Li, the incoming CEO of a Chinese state-backed investment fund in which Hunter held a stake. Archer also noted that Hunter put Joe Biden on the phone at least two dozen times with Hunter’s business associates.

Archer says they just talked about “the weather.” The White House, which once said that Biden never talked with Hunter’s associates, now retreats to the line that he “was never in business with his son.”

NBC’s headline? “Hunter Biden business associate testifies he has no knowledge of wrongdoing by Joe Biden.”

I used to work as a lawyer. There’s a lot more money in defending criminals in the law than there is doing the same as a reporter. The whole point of becoming a journalist is to dig fearlessly for the facts.

Whatever our national political press corps is doing, that isn’t it.

Crystal clear that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s business

Miranda Devine.1/2

Just in case it wasn’t clear what Hunter Biden was doing when he put his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on the speakerphone during business meetings, even Hunter’s former business partnerDevon Archer calls it an “abuse of soft power.”

According to designated Democratic apologist Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), Joe Biden had no idea who was on the speakerphone in Paris or Dubai or Lake Como, or wherever it was that Hunter introduced his father to shady foreigners who were showering him with millions of dollars and lavish gifts like a $50,000 Hublot watch, which Archer says Hunter got from the Ukrainians.

No, the VP would just talk about “the weather” after Hunter introduced him to “Vadym” or “Nikolai” or whoever. He wasn’t talking about balance sheets or where to place the oil rigs, so that makes it quite OK.

Seriously, whom does Goldman think he’s kidding?

Archer was careful choosing his words to the Oversight Committee on Monday and in a subsequent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Facing a one-year prison sentence over a fraud conviction, Archer has been bombarded with death threats since news broke that he was cooperating with congressional investigators. The father of three has tried to tell the truth while trying to survive at the center of a brutal tug-of-war between Congress and the White House.

But no matter how desperately Democrats and their media handmaidens try to spin Archer’s testimony, he has changed the game.

Prez had a role

As he told Carlson, it’s “categorically false” that Joe Biden had no role in his son’s business or knowledge of it: “He was aware of Hunter’s ­business. He met with Hunter’s business partners.”

Now Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence operation is undeniable, despite his nearly three-year litany of lies.

Even while being scrupulously careful, Archer’s testimony was damning.

He described how Joe was “the brand” of his family “business” and was used to send “signals” of power, access and influence, whether on speakerphone or meeting in person. There were dinners at Café Milano in Washington, DC, with Hunter’s benefactors from Ukraine, Russia and China, breakfasts at the vice presidential residence in DC, handshakes on the sidelines of Beijing meetings.Ultimately, it was this access to VP Biden that sent millions of dollars flowing into Biden family coffers.

Goldman tried to make hay over the word “weather” in Archer’s response to a question about what Joe Biden talked about in those 20 speakerphone calls with Hunter’s foreign business associates.

“I think that the calls were, that’s what it was,” Archer said Monday, according to a source familiar with his testimony. “They were calls to talk about the weather, and that was signal enough to be powerful.”

It wasn’t the content of the calls, in other words, but the fact that they were made. That was the “signal.”

The call was “enough,” Archer told Carlson in an interview to be released Thursday on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, after a teaser was aired Wednesday. “In the rearview, it’s an abuse of soft power …

“That’s the … second-most powerful man in the world … The prize of being able to have, whether it’s on speakerphone or in person, to have that person in direct contact with, [whether] you’re talking about weather or politics or what have you, that that’s the important [thing] … There’s no relevance in asking the vice president about the gas, you know, revenues or anything. [The call is] enough and the prize is that contact and that access.”

Archer states the obvious, that Hunter’s value to corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying him and Hunter $83,000 a month apiece, was his access to his father, the VP.

He was asked by Carlson about an urgent email sent to him and Hunter on May 12, 2014, from Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi demanding to know “how you could use your influence to convey a message, signal, etc., to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions.” At the time, Burisma was aggressively being investigated by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin….

https://nypost.com/2023/08/03/crystal-clear-that-joe-biden-was-involved/

>>19310583

2/2

Archer explained what “signal” means in a corrupt country like Ukraine. “It’s almost like, you know, the shakedown … they’re using a common term to them and sending back here to us and say, ‘I hope we’re protected’ kind of thing …

‘Shokin a threat’

“So Shokin is taking a close look … at Burisma. There were allegations that some of the … deposits or some of the reserves were not, you know, authentically acquired … Shokin was considered a threat to the business … You’ve got to get the signals to the government. I think anyone in government is always a threat and always trying to shake down these businesses that were highly successful.”

Archer hedged by saying that he was told by Burisma executives that Shokin himself was corrupt and “there was a big push by European leaders, the Atlantic Council, etc., to fire Shokin because he was corrupt … It certainly wasn’t made clear to us at the board level … that that was a favor to be done … I wasn’t involved in Shokin or any of this.”

But ultimately, Archer concluded, Shokin “was a threat. He ended up seizing assets of Nikolai [Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky], a house, some cars, a couple of properties. And Nikolai actually never went back to Ukraine after Shokin seized all of these assets …

“And then [Shokin] was fired and then somehow Burisma was let off the hook.”

Asked if Burisma executives were trying to leverage Hunter’s relationship with his powerful father, Archer said, “Yes, there was constant pressure to send signals to leverage all of his, you know, his dad included.

But the Biden brand, the DC insider relationships to help Burisma survive …

“It was that ability to help on the geopolitical stage, keep them out of trouble, keep them out of investigations, unfreeze assets [and] unsuccessfully, you know, unfreeze visas.”

That brings us to the speakerphone call in Dubai late in the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, in the middle of Shokin’s aggressive investigations when, after a Burisma board meeting and dinner, Hunter and Archer went to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach for a drink. While there, Pozharskyi phoned to say he and Zlochevsky needed to speak to Hunter urgently. When they arrived at the bar, they asked Hunter to call his dad.

In Archer’s testimony, he said he did not hear the call that night because Hunter and the Ukrainians moved away from the table, so he could not say if they called Joe, just “DC.” But he was told by Pozharskyi that it was Joe they called in DC. Despite attempts by Democrats to confuse the issue, it is obvious that the one powerful person in DC whom Hunter phoned directly at any time was his father.

And he told Carlson the Ukrainians regularly asked Hunter to get his dad on the phone.

“I did not listen to a particular call where they spoke. But I know that the request was made by Vadym [Pozharskyi] a lot.”

Ultimately, said Archer, “I do believe that, at the end of the day, Burisma wouldn’t have stayed in business so long if Hunter was not on the board.”

Ain’t that the truth. By Joe Biden’s own admission, he flew to Ukraine a few days after that fateful Dubai speakerphone call, and threatened the Ukrainian government that he would withhold $1 billion in US aid unless Shokin was fired. Three months later, Shokin was gone, and as Archer said, ­Burisma was off the hook.

Joe Biden’s shady behavior: Letters to the Editor — Aug. 3, 2023

Post readers

Moron Rep. Daniel Gold­man says Biden would join meetings on speakerphone and talk about the weather (“WH excuses so phone-y,” Aug. 1)

Probably true — in the sense Joe would say, “No worries, Hunter. The coast is clear!”

Flash Martin

Islip

The actions of the Department of Justice this past weekend trying to intimidate Devon Archer and keep him from testifying to a congressional committee are another indication that this DOJ is hopelessly corrupt.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is extremely partisan, and his actions have helped destroy the confidence of the American people in our justice system.

The DOJ has become a weapon to be used against the political enemies of the Democratic Party, and this represents a grave threat to our nation’s future.

Robert DiNardo

Farmingdale

The left’s excuse that President Biden was just talking about the weather in the meetings and phone calls is merely a wrong choice of words.

They really meant that he was talking about whether or not he was going to get the money, and how much!

Ronald Daba

Farmingville

Devon Archer, having nothing to gain by his testimony, established the fact that President Biden is a prolific liar.

Biden actedunethically and criminally by knowinglyaiding and abetting his son and brother, who were selling influence. He bragged about firing a Ukraine prosecutor pursuing Burisma and denied knowing his son sat on the board.

One cannot help thinking about the resignation of Richard Nixon over Watergate and the zeal with which the media pursued him.

If it were not for the reporting of the New York Post, millions of dollars would still be flowing into the Bidens’ coffers. One wonders where all that money is sitting now?

And please do not hold your breath waiting for the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor. He might as well be a Biden family member.

Phil Serpico

Queens

It’s time the truth be told about the Biden family (“Devon Archer reveals exactly what Hunter was selling — Joe Biden,” Miranda Devine, July 31).

We have learned from their former partner, Devon Archer, that influence-peddling was their “brand” — and that President Biden was the “big guy” who reaped millions by selling it.

As the whole world is crashing down around the Bidens, with the House inquiries and the word “impeachment” spoken more often, it seems the past lies that Biden told us are coming back to haunt him.

Nobody believes the stupid explanations of the White House and the Democratic members of Congress. So why wait for impeachment?

Joe and cackling hen Kamala Harris should resign from office. Speaker McCarthy should succeed them as president.

Richard A. Ketay

Newark, NJ

It’s no surprise that politicians lie; the Dems have made it an art form. Left Coast Rep. Adam Schiff lied for years about Trump’s collusion with Russia and New York Rep. Dan Goldman “knows” all the phone calls Joe Biden was on with Hunter were about the weather.

Dan, please. We know you’re a partisan hack who can lie to the sheep who vote for you in New York and get away with it. But to stand in front of a microphone for the world to see you lying makes you look small.

Mike Santavicca

Yonkers

For the past 30 years, Democratic administrations and Republicans in Name Only (RINOS) have excelled at sticking together and fostering rampant corruption. The antics used by prominent Democrats over this period make what former President Richard Nixon did seem irrelevant.

Imagine what would have happened if Nixon had the use of today’s DOJ, IRS, State Department and the national media.

‘Sick Joke’: Megan Rapinoe Ends Her Career with Missed Penalty Kick that Costs U.S. the World Cup. (Trump Curse)

Simon Kent6 Aug 2023.

The international career of Megan Rapinoe ended in a dramatic penalty shoot-out against Sweden on Sunday with her failed kick at goal helping to send the U.S.A. team crashing out of the soccer World Cup underway in New Zealand and Australia.

Rapinoe and Sophia Smith missed penalties that could have given the U.S. the win, and Kelley O’Hara missed the Americans’ final shot to give Sweden the opening it needed.

In an interview after the dramatic finish to the contest staged in Melbourne, Australia, Rapinoe said: “I mean, this is like a sick joke. For me personally, this is like dark comedy that I missed a penalty. This is the balance to the beautiful side of the game. I think it can be cruel.”

The result ended the international career of Rapinoe, the Golden Boot winner of the 2019 tournament who is retiring after the World Cup.

It is the earliest exit in tournament history for the United States, four-time winners of the World Cup.

The United States claimed the last two Women’s World Cups and four of the eight editions held before this year’s event Down Under.

They had never gone out before the semi-final stage.

This time they have been sent packing in the last 16 having won just one game and that an unconvincing 3-0 defeat of Vietnam.

Brought off the bench against Sweden, her final act for her country was to put her penalty over the bar and send her country’s hopes with it into oblivion.

Plenty of soccer fans on twitter moved to voice their exasperation with her final effort.

The next World Cup is in 2027 and it could be on home soil, with the United States bidding to co-host the tournament with Mexico.

Trump Attorney Lauro: ‘A Technical Violation of the Constitution Is Not a Violation of Criminal Law’

Pam Key6 Aug 2023

John Lauro, an attorney for Donald Trump, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that a “technical violation of the Constitution” is not a violation “criminal law.”

On Fox News, Pence said, “Let’s be clear on this point, it wasn’t just that he asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me and his gaggle of crack pot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the House of Representatives and literally chaos would have ensued.”

Anchor Chuck Todd said, “So he’s just disputing the version of, events you’re describing.”

Lauro said, “No, not at all. He’s substantiating it in this respect, there were some preliminary discussions along the lines that Vice President Pence described, butthe ultimate ask which was done at the ellipse was to pause the voting for a period of time.

Now, issues like this get discussed and thrashed about all the time, but the ultimate call made by President Trump was to ask for a pause.If you read Vice President Pence’s book, he agrees completely with President Trump that there were these anomalies, discrepancies, even fraud in the election. Vice President Pence wanted those debated in Congress. President Trump asked that they be debated at the state legislature so you had a disagreement there, but once again, these constitutional and statutory disagreements don’t lead to criminal charges.”

Lauro added, “One thing that Mr. Pence has never said is that he thought President Trump was acting criminally. Indeed, Vice President Pence is an attorney. If he at any point said or thought that Mr. Trump, President Trump was acting unlawfully or contrary to criminal law, he would have said that. No one ever suggested that.”

Todd said, “He said the President asked him to violate the Constitution, which is another way of saying he asked him to break the law.”

Lauro said, “No, that’s wrong.A technical violation of the Constitution is not a violation of criminal law. That’s just plain wrong. And to say that is contrary to decades of legal statute.”

Donald Trump Calls Nancy Pelosi a ‘Wicked Witch’ Destined for Hell

Aug 6, 2023

Former President Donald Trump has turned on Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and declared she is a “wicked witch” who is destined one day to “live in hell.”

(He didn’t turn on her, he’s never liked her, where does Breitbart come up with these stupid comments)

Trump used his social media network Truth Social to attack Pelosi, commenting after she used an interview Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” to say he looked like a “scared puppy” arriving in Washington, DC, to be arraigned in the January 6 Capital riot case, as Breitbart News reported.

His response Sunday was straight to the point:

I purposely didn’t comment on Nancy Pelosi’s very weird story concerning her husband, but now I can because she said something about me, with glee, that was really quite vicious. “I saw a scared puppy,” she said, as she watched me on television, like millions of others, that didn’t see that. I wasn’t “scared.” Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say! She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her.She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL!

Pelosi had said in the interview, amongst other observations, “To see the president of the United States be arraigned, it was interesting to hear Mr. Dunn talk about how it felt for him in the courtroom. I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course but when I saw his coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a scared puppy. He looked very, very, very concerned about his fate. I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. He knows. He knows the truth, that he lost the election, and now he has to face the music.”

The 45th president and leading Republican presidential candidate pleaded not guilty Thursday to four counts alleging conspiracies to overturn the 2020 election results, including Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy Against Rights, Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding.

This was the third indictment brought against Trump this year, with two coming at the federal level from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probes and one coming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.

The other federal case alleges Trump mishandled classified documents after leaving the White House, while Bragg’s case alleges he engaged in business fraud.

Kash is great too!

Excellent!

>>19310897

True that

Isn’t it true more Christians have been persecuted and died for their faith. Christians should enumerate the numbers of them persecuted and that died over the ages. Except they are not sympathy seekers, they consider it an honor! God always wins in the end!

>>19310825

Agreed

He can’t and neither can Breitbart
