NY AG James Can Target Any Donald Trump Assets 'Across the World': Lawyer

For all who could stand a happy thought...



Letitia James Can Target Any Donald Trump Assets 'Across the World': Lawyer

by Rachel Dobkin
Newsweek, March 23/24, 2024

New York Attorney General Letitia James can target any of former President Donald Trump's assets from "across the world" in order to pay the $454 million judgment he owes, according to lawyer Renee Zaytsev on Saturday.

SNIP...

MSNBC's Katie Phang asked Zaytsev on The Katie Phang Show on Saturday about what James could do if Trump can't come up with the bond.

"New York is a very creditor-friendly state. We take creditors rights seriously here and our law has a lot of options for creditors to enforce their judgments. Even before we get to his properties, she can very, very easily go ahead and freeze his bank accounts," Zaytsev, a New York-based corporate lawyer, said.

She continued: "And all she has to do to that is to serve restraining notices on the banks where he holds accounts, and she can then have a sheriff execute on those accounts or she can commence a turnover proceeding directing the banks directly to turn over the assets in those accounts."

NAZI Kirk vows: 'If this election doesn't go our way the next day we fight'

Trump ally’s stunning request: 'If this election doesn’t go our way the next day we fight'

by David Badash
Alternet.org, March 21, 2024

Christian nationalist and far-right political activist Charlie Kirk, a top influencer and Trump ally, urged supporters at a faith-based event on Sunday to “fight” if Donald Trump doesn’t win the 2024 presidential election.

“I want to make sure that we all make a commitment that if this election doesn’t go our way, the next day we fight,” Kirk told the audience at “Freedom Night,” hosted by Pastor John Randall.

“It’s a very important thing,” Kirk added before saying, “a lot of people don’t want to hear that. They say, ‘What do you mean it doesn’t go our way? It has to go our way. We have to win.’ I agree.”

Kirk is a member of the highly-secretive Council for National Policy, a purveyor of Donald Trump’s “Big Lie,” and has repeatedly promoted the false claim that U.S. elections are “rigged.”

Idaho police search for escaped inmate and accomplice after ambush at Boise hospital

Source: AP, NPR

A white supremacist Idaho prison gang member and an accomplice remained on the loose Wednesday after the accomplice staged a brazen overnight attack to free the inmate as he was being transported from a Boise hospital, police said.

Police identified the man suspected of shooting two corrections officers during the ambush as Nicholas Umphenour. A warrant with a $2 million bond has been issued for his arrest on two charges of aggravated battery against law enforcement and one charge of aiding and abetting an escape, police said.

Police said the search continues for Umphenour and escaped inmate Skylar Meade, who fled the hospital early Wednesday in a gray 2020 Honda Civic with Idaho plates. It's not known where they are or where they are headed, police said.

Three corrections officers were shot and wounded — two allegedly by Umphenour and one by responding police — during the attack in the ambulance bay at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Hey, Judge Cannon! Here's the REAL Problem!!!

Trump doesn't answer to (let alone uphold, defend and/or protect) the Constitution of the United States; Trump answers to a foreign power.



Former Australian PM: Trump acts like 12-year-old boy around Putin

BY SARAH SIOCK
The Hill, 02/27/24

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull described former President Trump’s rhetoric around Russian President Vladimir Putin as that of an admiring “12-year-old boy.”

Speaking on Australian ABC’s “Q+A” show, Turnbull spoke about Trump’s interactions with Putin, saying they show the former president in “awe” of Putin.

“When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he’s like the 12-year-old boy who goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero,'” Turnbull said Monday. “It’s really creepy.”

Turnbull’s criticism comes after the former president compared the recent death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to his own legal woes, and, unlike President Biden and other U.S. leaders, did not place blame on the Kremlin.

SNIP...

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) argued that were the former president to return to the White House, he would “hand the keys over” to Putin. She also said Ukraine’s fate would be sealed, with Russia’s invasion of the country having recently hit the two-year mark.

And when the press asks Trump what he and his hero, Putin, talk about, he says, "It's none of your business."

'If anything happens to me, it's not suicide,' dead Boeing whistleblower to friend.



'If anything happens to me, it’s not suicide,’ friend of dead Boeing whistleblower says he told her

Story by Elizabeth Blackstock
Jalopnik, March 15, 2024

John Barnett, 62, was in the process of testifying against the Boeing Company regarding the aircraft manufacturer’s manufacturing processes when he was found dead in South Carolina with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Now, though, a family friend of Barnett’s says that, before he died, he warned her that if he were found dead, it would not be the result of a suicide.

Jennifer, who did not share her surname, spoke to local ABC news affiliate WPDE about a concerning conversation she says she had with Barnett. She alleges that Barnett came by to visit her when she needed help, and they began to speak about his upcoming deposition in Charleston, South Carolina.

“He wasn’t concerned about safety because I asked him,” Jennifer told WPDE. “I said, ‘Aren’t you scared?’ And he said, ‘No, I ain’t scared, but if anything happens to me, it’s not suicide.’”

Barnett was staying in a Holiday Inn in Charleston ahead of his deposition; when his lawyers were unable to contact Barnett, they called in a wellness check, according to police reports obtained by the New York Post. A hotel staff member found Barnett’s body in his pickup truck; he was holding a silver pistol in his hand and appeared to have died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

McCaskill Suggests White House Deny Intel Brief to the Sick Fuck.

And should Demented Donnie complain, former United States Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) added that Putin's Puppet can, "Pound sand!" She was on Nicole Wallace's Deadline White House program.

Making a stink out of denying Trump access to the Intel Briefing, a news-making change from traditional election year courtesy extended to the nominees for President, first off, would protect the national security of the United States. Here's where the New York Times said Uncle Sam found Top Secret documents at Merde de Lardo:



Keeping Trump un-briefed also makes an excellent media opportunity to showcase Trump as Putin's personal threat to national security before a national audience. Imagine President Biden explaining to the nation how Trump's many intelligence failures -- and how Congress inactions at Trump's behest -- serve Putin?

Charlie Sykes and other panelists echoed the sentiments, stating an assertive President Biden explaining why Trump serving Putin is a threat to the security of the United States of America would make a truly great national storyline -- a pro-Biden story with legs. The story also would contrast dip's record in service of Putin with President Joe Biden's sane, sound leadership and integrity.

Viewers of Nicole's program also enjoyed hearing the audio clip where Trump confesses to stealing Top Secret document, bragging about illegally possessing classified materials with Mark Meadows and his "autobiographers." Video from today's MSNBC show hasn't been posted, but the following from CNN includes the section.



Benedict Donald actually admitted on the tape he was not allowed to possess the documents and could not de-classify them as ex-president. What say you? How great would that be for President Biden to talk about all the time on the tee vee?

Former congressional candidate endorsed by Trump surrenders for murder

Sounds like Trump himself, a man who isn’t of sound mind or in control of his faculties.



Former congressional candidate endorsed by Trump surrenders for murder

by Ariana Baio
The Independent, March 7, 2023

Daniel Rodimer, a former wrestler who ran for a Republican congressional seat in 2020, surrendered himself to authorities in Nevada on Wednesday evening after an arrest warrant sought him out on an open murder charge.

Mr Rodimer, 45, turned himself into the Clark County Detention Center hours after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police (LVMP) identified him as a suspect in the murder of 47-year-old Christopher Tapp.

A uthorities say Tapp was found suffering from injuries inside a hotel room on the Las Vegas Strip in October 2023. He was transported to the hospital but later pronounced deceased. Initially, officials believed his injuries were a result of an accident.

Snip…

At the time, former president Donald Trump endorsed Mr Rodimer, once saying at a rally, “Dan Rodimer, we’re with you all the way, Dan.”

Nosferatu Stephen Miller Volunteers as "NARA Expert" to Help Judge I. Lean Bannon

Stephen Miller's legal group seeks Mar-a-Lago judge's permission to float 'unlawful abuse of executive authority' claim about National Archives



Story by Matt Naham •
Law & Crime, March 1, 2024

A legal group headed by former Trump White House senior advisor Stephen Miller asked the judge in the Mar-a-Lago prosecution on Friday for permission to participate in the case as an amicus curiae, or friend of the court, claiming its “expertise” in the “abuse” of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) by the National Archives (NARA) may be of assistance to the former president.

Noting that the Special Counsel’s Office and Jack Smith expressed no view on the motion, America First Legal Foundation (AFL) stated its goal was to support former President Donald Trump’s bid to throw out the Espionage Act indictment based on the PRA.

Touting its own “scholarship on” and investigations into the “weaponization” of NARA, AFL claims to have “uncovered” proof that NARA committed an “unlawful abuse of executive authority” in cahoots with the Biden White House and the DOJ.

“AFL’s investigations of NARA confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained access to the ’15 Trump boxes’ through a ‘special access request’ from the White House on behalf of the Department of Justice. Because NARA’s action, which AFL uncovered, appeared to be an unlawful abuse of executive authority, AFL requested the Inspectors General of NARA and the Department of Justice to investigate,” the motion said. “Moreover, AFL has published a white paper detailing why—as a matter of constitutional law, the PRA, and historical practice—the President has absolute authority over presidential papers.”
