"You don't have permission to access..."

The URL gave away what it's about, so here's the C&L report on it:

Did I mention Marietta is the Cobb county seat?

So have Republicans introduced any suspiciously specific bills about prosecutorial authority yet? Something like "No district attorney in a county with more than 500,000 inhabitants shall bring charges against any current or former federal official without permission of the legislature"?

I'm sorry you had to find out about your ban from the internet this way.

Comments to MA.

So I had a bunch of free time for my ears while I did some dailies and I followed the link to the hour long phone call with trump and a bunch of georgia officials where he was asking them to find votes. The threat comes a bit after 37 minutes in. You do not quite get the full threat if you do not listen to the call. These poor guys in GA listen to trump and a couple of his advisors badger the fuck out of them. He tells them what he wants them to think is the truth and he has no proof. These guys have investigated for him and know he is just listening to loonies on line. They are trying so hard to tell him nicely that people have lied do him. Trump is just having micro meltdowns because he really wants them to just make shit up, and they just are not doing it. He is just telling them to say what trump is saying and go along with it and these guys are telling him they need evidence, and trump is just pushing them to just go ahead on his obviously wrong word.

Then he gets so flustered and angry the threats come out. He is telling them you know it is illegal to not tell people about these things Trump is making the fuck up and it would not be good for them if the authorities looked into this, and trump is blatantly referring to his people because he knows the guys he is threatening have the authorities investigating already.

If you listen to this, these guys listen to everything trump is saying. They repeat it to him, and confirm it with him. They just keep telling him they investigated and what he is saying is proven wrong and trump just does not accept it. They give him every chance to come prepared with evidence and he just keeps giving them lies from the internet. He then has the nerve to imply that they are not seeing his evidence. It is not that they do not see it, it is that they see it is wrong.


Sorry, had to spew all that shit out. I listened to see if he does have some sort of different way of talking to people when he is not in front of a press briefing. He is insulting, demeaning, and clearly bullying everyone in the room who disagrees with him. This is the true trump idiot bully telling people he is going to hurt them if they do not see what he sees. And the georgia people are just politely saying there are four lights, and if you find a fifth one we will gladly shout it from the rooftops, but there are four lights. It is funny to hear trump's people keep telling them there are five lights, can't you see them?

They have to put this in front of a jury for some sort of election tampering crime. There has got to be some sort of statute that fits. Let a jury decide if he is guilty and force trump to have a better lawyer than guiliani. Let us see where this goes because this is what the courts are for.

Former daughter-in-law of Trump Org officer has talked to New York prosecutors about rent-free apartments

It's looking more and more like New York is gonna take Trump down on his taxes.

It would be great if Georgia could nail him for illegal interference in an election.

And then D.C. nails him for inciting and insurrection.

Pile on!

Not a criminal investigation, but another lawsuit that's been cleared to proceed...

Trump must face 'Apprentice' contestant's defamation lawsuit

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

from a perforated intestine? Asking for a friend

Actually, Trump never lived by getting lawsuits heard in court, but by the threat of drawn-out legal action that he could afford but others couldn't.

Which is how this will go down. Except trump is hurting financially now.

Not necessarily on-topic, but it could become such:

A judge has ruled that the NDAs Trump used to silence campaign staffers are so broad as to be unenforceable, at least in one case, but

You're so full of shit.

For those who don’t want to read the article:
Donald Trump hired the son of his accountant to run an ice rink in Central Park. Salary was two hundred and forty grand. Plus a free apartment. To run an ice rink. That operates six months a year. Oh, and it is cash only.

How much does an ice rink manager usually make?

It's some rink. Huge! Wollman rink


gagh. i just threw up a little bit:

For over three decades, The Trump Organization has proudly managed both of Central Park’s Public Skating Rinks along with the iconic Central Park Carousel.
Located in the heart of Central Park, the Wollman Rink is one of the most famed and beloved attractions in all of New York City. Catering to residents and visitors alike, the Wollman Rink offers world-class skating and event opportunities in the most beautiful setting. While the story of Wollman Rink dates back to 1949 and would not be possible without the generosity of Kate Wollman, its legacy would not be what it is today, without the dedication of the Trump Organization.

In 1986, after almost a decade of false starts, construction issues and almost $20 million of City money invested in the reconstruction, then-Mayor Ed Koch turned to real estate developer Donald J. Trump to get the job done. Mr. Trump was a young businessman who was quickly making his mark on the Manhattan skyline and saw what was happening at the Wollman Rink. He saw the potential from day one and knew that this jewel could no longer be forgotten. Given his expertise in both the public and private sector, the project was successfully completed for $2 million in just four months --- ahead of schedule and under budget.

Today, the Trump Organization and their incredible team of professionals remain dedicated to ensuring that every experience at Wollman Rink is memorable, safe and enjoyable. The company has continued to invest significantly, resulting in the Wollman Rink being one of the most successful and visited attractions anywhere in the world, and remains committed to doing so for many years to come. From Skate School to Youth Hockey, Special Events to Public Sessions and so much more, the Wollman Rink is truly an iconic, magical place that is beloved by all


But it does have a happy ending:
NYC to Sever City Contracts With Trump Organization Over President's ‘Criminal Act'

No Michael to save them though.

The Feds executed search warrants at Giuliani's home and office and grabbed at least some of his digital devices, according to the NYT. Seems not like a good sign for 45.

There are still some Republican lawmakers who aren't part of some criminal enterprise, right?

I mean, at least a couple?
