Preparing for Trump's Indictment

As @Buy1Sell2 says...
Yeah, but does Bull1Shit2 actually say anything?

Fulton County DA gets her 'special grand jury' —

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was granted her request to a special grand jury investigation for the pressure campaign against Georgia officials after the 2020 general election.

University of Alabama law professor and former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance explained that the grand jury will have the power to compel the production of documents that previous witnesses may have been unwilling to hand over.
 
Trump's niece said it's hypocritical for him to complain about the January 6 committee investigating his kids after his attacks on Hunter Biden

    • Donald Trump said it's "unfair" for his kids to be investigated over January 6 and his company.
    • His niece, Mary Trump, said he was being hypocritical, citing his attacks on Joe Biden's son Hunter.
    • "His double standard is grotesque," she said, adding that Hunter never worked for the government.
Mary Trump, former President Donald Trump's niece, said it was "enormous hypocrisy" for her uncle to blast the January 6 committee and the New York attorney general for including his kids in their investigations.

The House select committee has asked Ivanka Trump to testify as part of its investigation into the Capitol riot. The New York attorney general, who is investigating the Trump Organization's financial dealings, has issued subpoenas to Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

Eric Trump was also previously subpoenaed as part of the inquiry.

Donald Trump told The Washington Examiner in an interview published Friday that it was "very unfair" for his children to be included in the investigations.

"It's a disgrace what's going on," he said. "They're using these things to try and get people's minds off how incompetently our country is being run. And they don't care. They'll go after children."

Trump's eldest children have long been closely intertwined with his political and business dealings. Ivanka Trump served as a senior advisor to her father during his presidency. His two eldest sons serve as executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, the firm at the center of the attorney general's investigation.

Mary Trump, a vocal critic of her uncle, was asked Sunday about his comments.

"I want to start by pointing out the enormous hypocrisy of this man, who went after and continues to go after Hunter Biden, who last I checked never worked for the federal government, so his double standard is grotesque on its face," she said during an interview with MSNBC.

She added that despite Trump's defense of his children, she believed he "will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it's in his best interest to do so."

Trump has repeatedly gone after the business dealings of President Joe Biden's son Hunter. Trump's first impeachment was sparked by a phone call in which he asked Ukraine's president to investigate the Bidens.

At a presidential debate in September 2020, Trump pressed Biden repeatedly on claims involving his son, resulting in chaotic discourse as Biden repeatedly denied the allegations and the moderator Chris Wallace tried to stop Trump from talking over him.

Trump and his allies also promoted theories about Hunter Biden based on a laptop that contained lurid details and explicit images of his private life.

Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere have stirred up controversy and ethics concerns, but he has not been formally accused of wrongdoing. Despite being urged to investigate by Trump, Ukrainian officials said they found no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden.

Can we have Mary Trump as president? It would be one of those perfect quirky things for kids to learn in the future.
 
Liz Cheney Reacts to Donald Trump's Jan. 6 Pardon Remarks: 'He'd Do It All Again'

https://www.newsweek.com/liz-cheney-reacts-donald-trump-january-6-pardon-remarks-1674481

Liz Cheney has condemned former president Donald Trump's suggestion that—should he return to the White House—he would consider pardoning those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6 last year.

Trump told thousands of his supporters at a rally in Texas on Saturday that rioters who stormed the Capitol—in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory—are being treated "so unfairly."

He later floated the idea that they would receive "pardons" if he becomes president again.

Republican Rep. Cheney, a fierce critic of Trump and the vice chair of the nine-person committee investigating the January 6 riot, responded to the remarks on Twitter.

"Trump uses language he knows caused the Jan 6 violence; suggests he'd pardon the Jan 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy; threatens prosecutors; and admits he was attempting to overturn the election," she tweeted Monday morning.

"He'd do it all again if given the chance."


Trump, who has flirted with running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, said: "If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly.

"And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly."
 
Georgia prosecutor says presidential immunity won't protect Trump
https://thehill.com/regulation/cour...says-presidential-immunity-wont-protect-trump

A Georgia prosecutor investigating former President Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election said in a new interview that presidential immunity will not protect him from being prosecuted in the state.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) told CNN that the argument Trump's lawyers have made in the past concerning presidential immunity would not stand up in court.

"Of course, I've given thought to if that may be raised as a legal issue," Willis said. "I don't think that that protection will prevent a prosecution if that becomes necessary in this state case."
Last year, Willis began investigating whether Trump or his allies committed any crimes as they attempted to persuade Georgia officials to look for voter fraud in order to secure the former president a victory in the state. The investigation was prompted by a call Trump had with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) encouraging him to look for votes that would overturn the election, CNN noted.

"You and I have listened to that phone call. But also I have the benefit of also having talked to a lot of witnesses and probably having read more on this than most people would like to," Willis told the network.

She also said that she is not concerned about Trump attempting to delay her investigation, adding that she will "use the power of the law" if necessary once grand jury proceedings begin in the spring.

"This is a criminal investigation. We're not here playing a game," Willis told CNN. "I plan to use the power of the law. We are all citizens."
"Mr. Trump, just as every other American citizen, is entitled to dignity. He's entitled to be treated fairly. He will be treated fairly in this jurisdiction," she added. "But I plan to do my job, and my job is to make sure that we get the evidence that gives us the truth. I'm not concerned at all about games to delay this."

Last month, Fulton County Superior Court judges approved Willis's request for a special grand jury to investigate Trump's actions in office. She also reportedly has plans to begin issuing subpoenas in May.

"The special-purpose grand jury not only has the power to subpoena witnesses to come to testify, but also other evidence that may be relevant, whether that's emails, letters, phone calls, whatever you could imagine," she told CNN.

"When I sit down, I will have done everything that I know how to do to bring a fair and true picture. And so they're welcome to their opinions," Willis later added, speaking of her critics who argue she should speed up or narrow her probe. "But while I sit here as the elected DA, we're going to do things so that the American public can be confident we did everything we knew how to do to bring justice."
