He said Iran had received messages through mediators, including Pakistan,but ruled out direct talks with Washington, describing US demands as “maximalist and unreasonable.”

New pipelines seen as key to cutting Hormuz exposure - FT

Such projects wouldbe expensive, politically complex and take years to complete, according to the report.

Anynew pipelineswould, over thelonger term, likely form part of broader trade routes through which a wider range of goods beyond oil and gas could flow, read the report.

Judge deals Trump setback in civil suits over Capitol riot(1/2)

A judge ruled that the president's Jan. 6 speech was political, not official.

A federal judge delivered a serious setback to President Donald Trump Tuesday inlong-running civil lawsuits seeking to hold him liable for the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that evidence producedso far in the litigation brought by police officers and Democratic lawmakers indicated that Trump’s speech at the Ellipse that day was political in nature and not subject to the immunity the Supreme Court has found for a president’s official acts.==

“President Trump has not shown that the Speech reasonablycan be understood as falling within the outer perimeter of his Presidential duties,” Mehta wrote. “Thecontent of the Ellipse Speech confirms that it is not covered by official-acts immunity.”

The 79-page ruling, years in the making, follows numerous efforts by Trump to scuttle the lawsuit by claiming he is protected by presidential immunity from liability for his actions on the day of the Capitol Riot and in the weeks leading up to that event.

But the decision also portends years of additional litigation and appeals, likely ensuring that Trump will be contending with thelawsuits for the remainder of his presidency. It also prolongs the wait for a resolution to one of the last remaining efforts by that day‘s victims to pursue accountability.

Joseph Sellers, an attorney for Democratic lawmakers suing Trump, welcomed the decision.

“We’re very pleased that the court recognizedthat President Trump cannot avoid accountabilityfor his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021,” the lawyer said in an interview.“This decision, if it holds up, is going to pave the way to a trial in federal district court on these claims.”

In a statement, Trump’s legal team disputed the judge’s conclusion, but did not outline any specific next steps.

“The facts show that on January 6, 2021, President Trump was acting on behalf of the American people, carrying out his official duties as President of the United States,” the statement said.

“President Trump will continue to fight back against the Democrat Witch Hoaxes and keep delivering historic results for the American People.”

While Mehta’s ruling generally favored the plaintiffs, he certified some issues for another appeal by Trump’s lawyers.

That’s expected to stall the cases for a year, or longer if the Supreme Court agrees to get involved, although some further fact-finding could proceed in the meantime.

“We may have a trial in the spring or summer of 2028,” Sellers said. That would be more than seven years after the events at issue in the cases.

The bulk of Mehta’s ruling was an effort to assess whetherTrump’s actions could reasonably be seen as “official” conduct, which would largely protect it from being held against him in a civil lawsuit.

Mehta also concluded that a callTrump placed to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, pleading with him to find 11,780 votes so Trump could be declared the winner,was political in nature.

“These are the words of an office-seeker imploringa state officialto alter the outcomeof Georgia’s election,not those of an incumbent President acting in his official capacity,” the judge wrote. (Mehta doesn’t know that the government has all the proof the election was rigged, but he will!)

While the judgeruled that the speech and many other Trump activities appeared to be unofficial, he said a handful of Trump actions — including his directions to Justice Department officials and social media messages prepared during the riot —had enough official character that they couldn’t be used against Trump in any trial.

Mehta, an Obama appointee, also said Trump would be able to try to press his immunity claims again at trial, even though the evidence to support his position was too weak to block a trial altogether.

“The court’s decision today isnot a final pronouncement on immunityfor any particular act,” the judge wrote.“President Trump remains free to reassert official-acts immunity as a defense at trial.”

In the decision Tuesday, Mehta also declined to disturb an earlier ruling he madethat Trump’s speech could be viewedin the context ofhis other actions as incitement and not protected by the First Amendment. Thejudge also rejectedthe Justice Department’sattempt to shut down the case by certifying that Trump was acting in his official capacity.

(This will be overturned by the prior decision by the Supreme Court that basically anything he says and does is covered by Presidential privilege and authority! Plus Mehta will be reviewed and investigated, because he cannot make this decision when the SC clarified it a couple of years ago. I bet any judge Obama appointed he told them secretly you have to go after all my enemies, and later “get Trump”. Now the government is paying all the cost for Trump with this bullshit!)

Related to report on Judge Mehta and leftists trying to send Trump to jail. (I think they all fail to look into the future, are all presidents vulnerable to absolute bullshit and either get impeached or go to jail? That will really happen!)

Leftist leaning websites analysis of “Official Acts. (Trump will do is go to Supreme Court push this bullshit Mehta and the groups want to do will never be allowed by the SC, that means all future and past Presidents ==will get sued for the real “official acts”, because there’s no definition of what are Presidential “Non Official Acts”. 1/22/24

Obviously the author of this article already believe Trump was guilty otherwise it’s pretty good analysis with the current laws. Not full article.

The current law on this subject is relatively simple: Until changed by the Supreme Court, a president may not be charged with a crime for anything he does while he is acting as president. Once he leaves office, a president may be charged for any crimes he may have committed in office, unless they can be characterized as “official acts” within the capacious framework of Article II of the Constitution, which outlines the powers of the presidency==. There is no such category as “private acts,” just acts that are not “official acts.”

Theuncertaintyabout whether Trump’s actions were “official acts” comes from the factthat Article IIof the Constitution—which outlines the powers of the president—is very general,unlike the very specific listing of the powers of Congress in Article I.

As a result,rather than trying to determine whether a president acted outside his authoritywhile he is in office,the courts have generally agreedthat thepresident should not be charged with any crimes while in office. But the president could be charged if he is impeached and convicted—and is thus compelled to leave office–or otherwise becomes a private citizen again.

Even though the Supreme Court’s question hassuggested that he would likely be entitled to immunity if his January 6 acts were deemed “official acts,” Mr. Trump has not attempted to meet this test.

There are probably two reasons for this.

• First, he would have to admit to having taken the actions in question, which would essentially be confessing his guilt;

• and second, it’s highlyunlikely that the Supreme Court would consider his actions to fall within the category of “official acts”since the president has no role under Article II to interfere with the election of his successor.

On the other hand, if Trump wins the 2024 election, President Biden might terminate the trial or offer a pardon as a matter of good will,or Trump might be able to pardon himself if he has been elected, or have the Department of Justice terminate the trial if his trial is still ongoing.

An interesting question is what the Supreme Court will do now. It has become clear that Trump was never going to argue thatwhat he did on January 6 were “official acts,” which means that he had taken the Court’s time solely for the purpose of delaying his trial.
