Judge Aileen Cannon sets NO TRIAL DATE in Trump's classified documents/obstruction/espionage case

 


In a move that again highlights why Judge Aileen Cannon should be recused from presiding over Donald Trump's federal prosecution in Florida, at a hearing on Friday she refused to even set a trial date. This is inexplicable given that Jack Smith proposed a trial date of July 8 and Trump's lawyers proposed a trial date of August 12. This prompted Jack Smith's prosecutor to tell Judge Cannon that the one thing the parties seem to agree on is that there can be a summer trial date - which would at least get the case tried before the November presidential election. But Judge Cannon said she was "skeptical" of the case being ready to be tried this summer, even though Trump's lawyers said they could do it. The federal law requires that a judge "shall" recuse themself from presiding over a case "if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned." Judge Cannon's lack of impartiality was again on full display in that Florida courtroom on Friday.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?

Thirteen Senators voted against the short-term spending bill to help avert a partial government shutdown on Thursday.

GOP Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Ted Budd (N.C.), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Roger Marshall (Kan.), Eric Schmitt (Mo.), Rick Scott (Fla.), Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) and JD Vance (Ohio) voted against the measure Thursday night. 

The upper chamber voted 77-13 to advance the funding measure, sending the bill to President Biden’s desk. The Senate passed the legislation just hours after the House voted 320-99 to advance the measure.

The bill keeps funding the departments of Agriculture; Interior; Transportation; Housing and Urban Development; Veterans Affairs; Energy; Justice; Commerce; and other departments through March 8. 

Now, members have until March 22 to agree and pass funding for the legislative branch, foreign operations and the Pentagon, along with the Departments of Health, Human Services, State and Homeland Security, Labor and Education. 

Right before the bill’s passage, four amendments were voted on. Cruz, one of 13 senators who voted against the passage, tried attaching proposals from H.R. 2, the House’s border security bill, which would’ve forced the lower chamber to pass the spending package again.

The funding measure passed a day after being announced by the House and Senate leaders. The stopgap allows members more time to negotiate on full-year funding.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the top Democrat member on the House Appropriations Committee, said no “poison pills” were in the funding batch, namely Republican proposals targeting abortion access.

New Jack Smith court filing in Trump's Florida case shoots down absurd "selective prosecution" claim

 



Donald Trump is again turning to his favorite judge, Aileen Cannon, looking for her to throw him a lifeline. Trump filed a motion to dismiss his case claiming that he is the victim of selective prosecution. In other words, he alleges that other people who committed the same crimes he committed have not been prosecuted, therefore it's unfair to prosecute him. Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed his reply to Trump's absurd selective prosecution claim - and Smith's court filing reads like an argument to a jury. This video reviews Smith's new court filing and highlights why Trump's selective prosecution claim should be rejected.

Musician and libertarian writer who works for 'The Blaze' arrested on Jan. 6 charges

Steve Baker, who led a David Bowie tribute band and started working for Glenn Beck's website in 2023, said he "100%" approved of the Capitol attack, the FBI said.

WASHINGTON — The former lead singer of a David Bowie tribute band who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, licensed his footage to media outlets, and now works as a writer for Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" website has been arrested on misdemeanor Capitol attack charges after turning himself into federal authorities in Texas.

Steve Baker, a musician and libertarian writer who was a frequent presence at the federal courthouse in Washington during the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy trial and other Jan. 6 cases, faces the same four standard misdemeanors as many lower-level Capitol riot defendants.

A copy of a FBI affidavit, provided to NBC News by defense attorney William Shipley, indicates that federal prosecutors will focus on comments from Baker that show he was sympathetic to the mob, including when he referred to Nancy Pelosi as a "b----" after talking about the mob raiding the former House speaker's office, and a comment in which he said he regretted that he didn't steal government property during the attack.

“Look out your windows bitches, look what’s coming," Baker allegedly said as he recorded himself approaching the Capitol on Jan. 6.

"They got Pelosi's office and, you know, it couldn't happen to a better deserving b----," Baker said in a video after the attack, according to the FBI affidavit.

"The only thing I regret is that I didn’t, like, steal their computers because God knows what I could’ve found on their computers if I’d done that," Baker said, according to the affidavit.

“Do I approve of what happened today?" Baker said in another interview on Jan. 6, according to the FBI filing. "I approve 100%."

Video footage previously posted by Baker shows him approaching two officers inside the Capitol and asking them if they were going to use their weapons on protesters. “You gonna use that thing on us?” Baker asked one officer. “Are you really going to use that on us?” Baker asked another. He later asked the same question of two other officers in the aftermath of the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, video showed.

After witnessing first responders trying to save the life of Babbitt, a Jan. 6 rioter shot as she jumped through a broken window leading into the Speaker's Lobby, Baker said he "may have just seen the true first shot in this war," the FBI affidavit said.

Baker has friendly relationships with reporters who have covered Jan. 6 cases and was in the media room during trials at the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse, where his own case will now unfold. A reporter for NBC News met Baker at the courthouse back in August, when Baker dropped off materials in response to a grand jury subpoena he received for the videos he recorded on Jan. 6. Recently, Baker had been working closely with House Republicans, and gained access to thousands of hours of Jan. 6 surveillance footage.

Baker was accompanied by a camera crew from The Blaze when he surrendered on Friday morning, and he broadcasted live from outside the courthouse after he was released. Baker quickly received support from former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

In a phone interview after his arrest, Baker called the process "humiliating," but said that law enforcement officers he dealt with were friendly and cordial. Baker said he had no regrets about the language he used on Jan. 6, and that some of his comments, like those during his discussions with his friend over drinks on the night of the riot, were taken out of context.

"With the 'couldn't happen to a nicer b----' comment... when the FBI asks me why I said that I said, 'Because it wasn't McConnell's office.' I said, 'If it had been McConnell's office, I would've said it couldn't have happened to a more deserving bastard.' And then I followed that up by saying, 'What part of me being a libertarian do you not understand? I don't like either side,'" Baker said.

Baker has a court date set in Washington, but said that he wasn’t sure how he will proceed from here.

“My gut instinct is to take it all the way to trial, but obviously we have to wait and see who the judge is,” Baker said. "One of the primary axioms of classic liberalism, libertarianism, is that if there's no victim, there's no crime. And what's happening to a lot of people, is that their words are being criminalized."

Baker explained in a podcast after Jan. 6 that, as a full-time musician he “found himself suddenly unemployed” in 2020 after the Covid lockdowns, and so decided to “ramp up” a project he’d started a decade earlier: An online community known as “The Pragmatic Libertarian,” which he later rebranded as “The Pragmatic Constitutionalist.”

Two days before Jan. 6, Baker wrote he was headed to Washington not because he thought "a crowd of any size is going to force government into a real investigation of the election results, but because the 'powers that be' on all sides of the political equation need to see WE THE PEOPLE in force, letting them know that WE ARE WATCHING."

"WE are not going to lay down to any level of tyranny — whether it come from the right or the left, the Democrats or the GOP," Baker wrote, adding that he was "hoping to document on video anything 'special' that might happen, and perhaps get a few interviews from a variety of voices."

In a post after Jan. 6, he wrote that he'd "confess to being truly inspired at the sight of so many patriots about to make what would surely be a powerful visual statement to the oath-breaking criminals who — at that very moment — were debating the certification of the Electoral votes."

In that post-Jan. 6 podcast, Baker said it was "no secret" that he was not a Trump fan back in 2016, thinking that neither Trump nor Hillary Clinton were good candidates. He said he did vote for Trump in 2020, and endorsed him, first because "the Bolshevik Democratic Party machine is now a fully-realized, openly neo-Marxist organization" and because of his "wishful thinking that Trump — for all his faults, (and maybe because of them), would finally be exposing and bringing down the Deep State."

More than 1,300 people have been arrested in the more than three years since the Capitol attack, and prosecutors have secured more than 900 convictions. Sentences have ranged from short terms of probation for the type of misdemeanor charges Baker is facing, to 22 years in federal prison for Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys on his seditious conspiracy conviction.

Other Jan. 6 defendants have tried to avoid convictions by pointing to their media ties, but Baker is the first who was working for an established media company at the time of his arrest. He was not associated with a news publication three years ago on Jan. 6, when the alleged misdemeanor took place.

A former commentator for The Blaze, Elijah Schaffer, had posted on social media during the riot that he was inside Pelosi’s office and "with the thousands of revolutionaries who have stormed” the Capitol. Video released in another Jan. 6 case shows Schaffer saying that he was part of a group "occupying" Pelosi's office. Unlike Baker, Schaffer was wearing an official Capitol press credential, and has not been charged.

Another Jan. 6 defendant, Stephen Horn, was convicted on four misdemeanor counts at trial after presenting himself as an independent journalist.

“His journalism started when he needed an excuse for his criminal liability,” a federal prosecutor told jurors in that case, according to The Washington Post. Prosecutors sought 10 months in federal prison in Horn's case, but a judge sentenced Horn to one year of probation and a $2,000 fine.

John Sullivan, an "anti-establishment" activist who prosecutors say went to the Capitol with the "goal of inciting the crowd," was convicted at trial after being found guilty of a variety of charges, including felonies. Sullivan too tried to present himself as a journalist, and news outlets (including NBC News) had licensed his footage after the attack. But jurors found him guilty after prosecutors presented evidence that he encouraged the mob and claimed to be armed with a knife.

COLORADO: Lauren Boebert’s Son Allegedly Made Sex Tape With Crime Spree Accomplice

BIBBITY BOEBERT IS A SOAP OPERA WHO DOESN'T BELONG IN PUBLIC OFFICE!

COLORADO: DON'T SEND STUPID PEOPLE TO WASHINGTON! 

THIS IS AN EMBARASSMENT!  



Lauren Boebert’s Son Allegedly Made Sex Tape With Crime Spree Accomplice

EXCERPT:

An arrest affidavit contains an eyebrow-raising claim that the son of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) sent out a sex tape involving him and another suspect in their alleged Colorado crime spree.

Tyler Boebert, 18, was arrested Tuesday and faces 22 charges relating to a series of alleged thefts and vehicle break-ins in Rifle, Colorado, which is in his mom’s congressional district. The sex tape allegation was levied by the stepmother of one unnamed suspect, who is said to have disclosed the alleged crime spree to police.

Boebert now faces four felony counts of criminal possession of identification documents and one felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony, police said. He also faces multiple misdemeanors including counts of theft under $300 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

One of the victims of Boebert’s alleged crime spree says her 11-year-old daughter was left feeling scared by the ordeal.

police incident summary obtained by The Daily Beast listed a Kia Sorento as being a “victim vehicle”—a car that belongs to mom-of-two Roscely Alvarado, according to KJCT-TV.

TENNESSEE: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! Tennessee House advances a bill to allow tourism records to remain secret for 10 years

 
SUGGEST THAT TENNESSEE REVIEW THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THEIR STATE - 
TYPICAL REPUBICAN GOVERNANCE HAS FAILED RESIENTS

ONLY REPUBLICANS WOULD BELIEVE THE DELUSION THAT A SUPER BOWL 
WOULD CAMOUFLAGE THEIR FAILURES...




Tennesse House advances a bill to allow tourism records to remain secret for 10 years

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s Republican-dominant House on Thursday advanced legislation that would allow the state’s tourism public records to remain secret and hidden from the public eye.

The bill, proposed by Republican Gov. Bill Lee, would allow the head of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development to exempt any public records for 10 years deemed “sensitive” by both the commissioner and attorney general.

The legislation is similar to privacy exemptions provided to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, which allows records also deemed sensitive to remain tucked away from the public for five years — with a possibility of another five year extension.

“What this would essentially do is allow for the Department of Tourism in their negotiations with businesses and tourism interests of the state of Tennessee to keep their trade secrets and proprietary information safe,” said Republican Rep. Andrew Farmer, one of the bill’s sponsors. 

Farmer repeatedly cited that the state may be vying to host a Super Bowl in the near future and such negotiations over “mega events” should not be aired publicly.

Democrats criticized the bill as undermining government transparency.

“Call me old fashioned, but I believe the the public, taxpayers and our constituents deserve to know what the state is spending money on, and this diminishes transparency,” said Democratic Rep. Aftyn Behn.

Immediately following Behn’s comment, Republicans moved to cut off debate early.

The bill passed the House with a 69-16 vote, with four additional members voting present. It now must clear the Senate, which to date, has not yet scheduled the bill for a hearing.

“We’re not trying to hide things. We’re not trying to pay people, and we’re definitely not going to put them in posh hotel rooms and private jets,” Farmer said. “We’re not Washington, DC. We’re smart with our money in here in Tennessee.”

IRS launches crackdown on 125,000 wealthy ‘non-filers’

 
MAGA GOP WANT TO SLASH IRS FUNDING TO PROTECT THE WEALTHY TAX CHEATS.....
IS THIS WHAT YOU SUPPORT?


IRS launches crackdown on 125,000 wealthy ‘non-filers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS plans to go after 125,000 high-income earners who did not file tax returns going back to 2017 — and the agency says hundreds of millions of dollars of unpaid taxes are involved in these cases.

Beginning this week, the IRS will start sending out noncompliance letters to more than 25,000 people who earn more than $1 million per year and 100,000 people with incomes between $400,000 and $1 million who failed to pay their taxes between 2017 and 2021.

The campaign announced Thursday is part of the agency’s ongoing effort to pursue high wealth tax cheats — mandated in part by funding provided through Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act passed into law in 2022 and a directive from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to IRS leadership not to increase audit rates on people making less than $400,000 a year annually.

“When people don’t file a tax return they’re required to, it’s not fair to those hardworking taxpayers who responsibly do their civic duty under the laws of our nation,” IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel told reporters Thursday morning.

“And when people don’t file their taxes, they need to know there’s a consequence.”

The IRS in recent months has announced a slew of new campaigns aimed at targeting high-wealth individuals who misuse the tax system or fail to pay their obligations.

For instance, last week IRS leadership said the agency will start up dozens of audits on businesses’ private jets and how they are used personally by executives and written off as a tax deduction. And earlier this year, the agency announced it had collected roughly half a billion dollars in overdue taxes from delinquent millionaires.

Werfel said the agency’s non-filer programs have only run sporadically since 2016 due to lack of funding and staffing. But since the federal tax collector received resources from the IRA, “the IRS now has the capacity to do this core tax administration work,” he said.

“This isn’t a small group of people we’re talking about.”

What went wrong in the 'botched' lethal injection execution of Thomas Eugene Creech? IDAHO


IT'S TIME TO QUESTION EXECUTIONS! 


What went wrong in the 'botched' lethal injection execution of Thomas Eugene Creech?

The execution of one of the nation's longest-serving death row inmates was put on hold Wednesday, the latest in a number of botched lethal injections across the country.

Thomas Eugene Creech, 73, was convicted of five murders in three states and was sentenced to death after killing a fellow prisoner in 1981. Lethal injection is the most common execution method in the United States, but officials have struggled to both find the drugs necessary and find suitable veins to inject them into. 

Creech is one of several death row inmates who have had their executions halted in recent years after executioners had trouble placing an IV, a problem that has lingered since the country's first lethal injection was performed in 1982.

 Here's what you should know about Creech’s case and what comes next.

This image provided by the Idaho Department of Correction shows Thomas Eugene Creech on Jan. 9, 2009.

What went wrong in Idaho?

The medical team attempted to establish IV access eight times in multiple places and encountered issues with both accessing the veins and the quality of the veins, department director Josh Tewalt said at a news conference Wednesday. Once the team's leader determined it was unlikely they would be able to establish IV access, they halted the execution, Tewalt said.

In 2022, 35% of the 20 execution attempts were botched because of the incompetence of executioners, failure of protocol or flaws in the protocol design, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. But secrecy laws regarding executions may prevent the public from understanding what exactly went wrong in this case, according to Robin Maher, executive director of the center. Idaho increased secrecy around the drugs used in lethal injections in 2022, according to the center's year end report.

"Based on all of these botched executions, there's no stronger argument for increasing the transparency and accountability of government officials when they're executing people," she said.

Why can't executioners find veins?

During the country's first lethal injection, executioners in Texas struggled to find a suitable vein in Charles Brooks because of his heavy drug use, Fordham University law professor Deborah Denno wrote in a chapter in a forthcoming publication titled “Six U.S. Execution Methods and the Disastrous Quest for Humaneness."

In 2022, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey temporarily paused executions and called for an internal review after officials experienced issues inserting an IV in multiple cases.

Factors including dehydration, stress, room temperature and certain illnesses can also make veins more difficult to access. Another problem may be that the person inserting the IV line during an execution lacks experience, Denno, the founding director of the university's Neuroscience and Law Center, told USA TODAY.

"They may not be the person who you and I might go to to have blood drawn who's done this a thousand times, right?" she said. "I mean it may be somebody who is doing much lower level kind of work even though they're a medical professional."

The execution team in Idaho included volunteers who were required to have at least three years of medical experience, according to the state's execution protocols. But their identities are unknown, and Tewalt declined to elaborate Wednesday on exactly what kind of training they've had.

"This is what happens when unknown individuals with unknown training are assigned to carry out an execution," Federal Defender Services of Idaho said in a statement criticizing the attempted execution of Creech.

What's next for Thomas Eugene Creech?

Tewalt said Wednesday that officials would allow Creech's death warrant to expire, and it is unclear when they may attempt to execute Creech again.

"We don't have an idea of timeframes or next steps at this point," Tewalt said. "Those are things we will be discussing in the days ahead."

When asked whether Creech could be executed by another method, Tewalt noted that state statute would have to be changed to allow executions by nitrogen hypoxia, a method used for the first time last month in Alabama.

Though Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a bill allowing execution by firing squad if that state can't obtain the drugs needed for lethal injection last year, Tewalt said in a statement the Department of Correction is still in the process of trying to retrofit its execution chamber to accommodate a firing squad. 

After the failed execution, Creech's attorneys filed a new request for a stay in federal court, saying “the badly botched execution attempt” proves the department is unable "to carry out a humane and constitutional execution.”

Maher said Creech's lawyers could argue that it would be unconstitutional to put him through the execution process a second time, but it is unclear whether they would be successful. Lawyers representing Kenneth Eugene Smith told the Supreme Court it would be cruel and unusual punishment to try to execute Smith again after a failed lethal injection, but his final appeal was rejected and the state of Alabama executed him in January using nitrogen gas.
