The Trump Card...

Analysts on MSNBC and others I read, yes. My conclusion after hearing/reading what I did; Meadows hurt himself more than he helped himself, and some of what he said hurt his co-defendants too.
They’re upset that he took the stand and made a good case why it should be in Federal court and also why it will ultimately be dismissed due to immunity.

I do not share your certainty and clear view of the future. It must be nice to be so certain of so much, so much of the time.

As i said, I think Meadows hurt himself more than he helped himself, but in fact, I don't know how this will turn out. The judge's ruling, expected soon, will tell us how Meadows did on the stand.

The volume and content of the posts is enough to prompt me to question the man's mental stability. As I asked, is he losing it under the pressure of four indictments and two major civil suits?

There are likely many thousands of people online who post hundreds of times a day for various reasons. But they are not running for president and they are not expected to be rational or sane.
How come the Left including Filliputz are so concerned about a person’s ability to exercise their First Amendment right?

I can't speak for that man. In my posts this evening, I'm saying Trump's day-long rant gives me reason to question his mental stability. I've said nothing about the First Amendment.

True enough. The First Amendment does not constitute a free pass to lie and defame. Guiliani found this out the hard way in court today.
That ruling was about a discovery issue, right?

Yes, it is clear, not from what the courts have not ruled, but from what this court and the New Mexico Supreme Court have ruled. Was there an insurrection? Yes! Can someone be removed from office because he participated in an insurrection? Yes!
Not so fast...
From the above article: (bold emphasis mine)

"Last year, a district court judge ruled Griffin must be removed from office as a county commissioner and barred him from running for office in the state again. This came after three New Mexico residents filed a civil case claiming he shouldn’t be able to serve based on his role in the January 6 insurrection.
Griffin tried to appeal the ruling, but the state Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in November. He filed a motion for the state’s highest court to reconsider, which they dismissed this week. Now, Griffin wants to take this to the United States Supreme Court."

By clicking on the source link in bold italics, another article by a different reporter appears and leads with this paragraph: (bold emphasis mine)

"The Otero County commissioner convicted for his role in the January 6th capitol riot is now at the center of a lawsuit. It was filed by a group of New Mexicans trying to make sure he never runs for political office in the state again.
Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin was eventually convicted of a misdemeanor for entering capitol grounds..."



So it would appear that Marilyn Upchurch - the author of the first article - took artistic liberties in her description of the events of Jan 6th that suited her own agenda. The New Mexico Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal and nowhere were they quoted as describing the events of Jan 6th as an insurrection; that's a misrepresentation by a local liberal media hack.

So the fact remains that there was no insurrection, according to your sources. However, it appears that in New Mexico local residents can keep people from serving on county commissions if they're convicted of a misdemeanor. Here's hoping all the local politicians in the blue state of New Mexico are pure as the wind-driven snow and without sin.

Fair points. And it remains the case that the disqualification question will soon be in court. The New Mexico case may not be relevant but the arguments made by the constitutional scholars are.

The ruling was that Guiliani is liable for defamation and the women he defamed are entitled to damages.

Regarding the discovery info Guiliani refused to divulge, what is he hiding and why?

He worked really hard to keep this information under wraps and he paid a very high price for doing so. So far, the price includes the $133,000 the judge ordered Guiliani to pay the plaintiffs for their legal fees. A much higher price will be paid when the amount of damages is set.

Guiliani knows the law and his way around a courtroom. It seems safe to assume he knew he would pay a high price for not divulging this court-required discovery information. Yet he kept it hidden. Since he willingly accepted the price and thereby succeeded in keeping the information hidden, we can only wonder what it is and why it is so important for him to keep it from public view.

Status Update: Dueling Motions for Summary Judgement

In 2020, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, the Trump Organization, and his three eldest children. James alleges Trump and the Trump Organization fraudulently inflated the value of their assets by billions of dollars in order to obtain favorable loan terms and tax breaks, and deflated the value of their assets in order to avoid paying taxes. Trump has denied all allegations. James seeks to bar Trump et al from leading the Trump Organization, and to require him to pay a fine of around $250 million.

Months ago, in pretrial activity, an appeals court dismissed Ivanka from the suit on statute of limitations grounds. The remaining parties are scheduled to begin trial in October.

As the October trial approaches, both parties have asked the judge (Engoron) to decide the case without a trial. In their motions for summary judgement, both parties say they are entitled to victory without a trial, based on undisputed facts in evidence. Trump moved to have the case dismissed. James moved to have the case decided by the judge alone, and for the sanctions to be applied.

The judge could deny both bids for early victory, which would set the case for trial. He is scheduled to hold a hearing in late September and could rule then.

The 133,000. figure was about the discovery issue brought on by the FBI not giving back all his material that they seized.
Rudy didn’t admit to lying. He didn’t contest the issue because it would be in a heavily Dem. Fulton county where he wouldn’t receive a fair trial. He will appeal the ruling by the bias judge and is confident he will win on appeal that he was exercising his First Amendment constitutional right to have opinions.

Was the water pipe story real?
Did they tell people to go home for the evening and then continue counting without Republican observers.
People are allowed to have opinions based off of that.

Trump and his companies are not the only ones who do this, they need to keep going and go after all of the companies who cheat banks and the taxpayers. If they dont keep going and charge more people with these crimes then that does show that they are just going after Trump.
