The NYT has said a million things that turned out not to be true. I think Trump would be playing the "stolen election" thing years from now and doesn't give a crap how much he spends on lawyers. Powell was not being paid by Trump.

Lawmakers clinch deal on decadelong fight against shell companies

Advocates were bolstered by increasingly vocal law enforcement groups and national security experts seeking to thwart the companies.

The most sweeping overhaul of financial crime safeguards in decades is poised to be attached to must-pass defense legislation in the coming weeks — a product of behind-the-scenes negotiations between lawmakers and Trump administration officials who are usually at odds.

The legislation, hammered out by progressive Democrats, conservative Republicans and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, would require millions of business entities to reveal their owners to the federal government in an attempt to deter the use of anonymous shell companies by criminals evading anti-money laundering rules...

... The first move to require corporations to disclose their true owners came from a bill sponsored a dozen years ago by then-Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), along with Obama, an Illinois Democrat. It followed a series of government investigations that found states were inadvertently helping give cover to criminals by allowing individuals to set up corporate entities with no meaningful oversight of who was behind them. The findings were a wake-up call.

Just shows how much you know. Flynn still supports Trump. Actively tweets his support. The Pardon was for the crap show from Russian hoax investigation, led by Mueller, that found zero evidence of collusion, we all know now which side colluded, paid for a Fake Russian dossier. Those are the real cronies.

It isn’t (lying to the FBI) if you are just denying guilt - it is if you make stuff up during an interview when you have been warned about it.

The Michael Flynn case was a few bent cops in the FBI, Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director who was found to have lied three times, during investigations in to DOJ and FBI conduct, other FBI agents, the two lovers, who then worked on Mueller's watch until he turfed them out for controversial texts about stopping Trump, all turning the screw on Flynn, to get to Trump.

There is nothing controversial in Trump pardoning Flynn, the injustice was corrected by the power of the full presidential pardon.

But Trump fired Flynn after it emerged that he had discussed lifting sanctions on Russia with Moscow's ambassador to Washington before Mr Trump took office, and misled the vice-president about that conversation.

These were the same lies Flynn told the FBI, and that he pled guilty to.

Are you saying he lied about lying to VP Pence?

You're talking about events that happened at the time, some of us have learned a lot since then, so have the Trump Administration. It's all very immaterial.

Trump and Pence were mislead by corrupt officials, to get rid of Flynn, remember Obama fired Flynn and told Trump not to hire him, Trump immediately gave him a job, ignoring his predecessor.

Flynn phoned several foreign leaders during Trump's transition period, he was doing his job, basically like Biden's team is doing now. There is the Logan Act which forbids anyone to act as a U.S Government representative that does not currently hold the power shape U.S Foreign policy. If Flynn is guilty of breaching Logan Act, then so is Biden as he is already interfering in our UK Brexit affairs.

But nobody has ever been charged with breaching said act.

Basically, all Flynn did was lie to the FBI, that was the only thing Mueller had leverage on him for, to get to Trump, Mueller spectacularly failed and the hoax investigation was terminated, quite rightfully, by the current U.S Attorney General, William Barr. If Andy McCabe can lie and lack candor and get away with it, if several DNC associates and Hillary Clinton herself, lie and get away with it, then why should Flynn be persecuted for something as trivial as just lying like the others, I said above did.

Personally I think it's better for all concerned if Trump just pardons everyone and then Biden's administration won't be beset by further questions over former administration officials. If anything comes up then Trump's pardon has dealt with it, end of story.

We don't want the next four years to be about this with every DOJ action having questions on if it's politically motivated or not.

Biden should appoint a standard AG, stay the hell away from the DOJ and let everything move on.

However much we want to criticise presidential pardon powers, it's there given by the Founding Fathers. The U.S Constitution that Justice officials and all agencies swore to uphold, not just parts of it, as you have mentioned, all presidents issue controversial pardons, President Bill Clinton issued his own brother one-that one raised a few eyebrows.

The power though can remove injustices and Flynn's was under an injustice.

Trump appeal in Pennsylvania denied (by three Republican judges, judgement written by Trump-appointed judge).

https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-cont...0/11/Trump.pdf
Quote:

Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.
Quote:

Nor does the Campaign deserve an injunction to undo Pennsylvania’s certification of its votes. The Campaign’s claims have no merit. The number of ballots it specifically challenges is far smaller than the roughly 81,000-vote margin of victory. And it never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters. Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too. That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised. So we deny the motion for an injunction pending appeal.
Quote:

And the Campaign’s charges are selective. Though Pennsylvanians cast 2.6 million mail-in ballots, the Campaign challenges 1.5 million of them. It cherry-picks votes cast in “Democratic-heavy counties” but not “those in Republican-heavy counties.” Without compelling evidence of massive fraud, not even alleged here, we can hardly grant such lopsided relief.

Another legal case lost.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...15d_story.html
Quote:

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed with prejudice a Republican lawsuit seeking to invalidate more than 2.5 million votes cast by mail in the general election, the latest in a string of legal defeats for the GOP as President Trump fails to undo his losses in key battleground states.

Justices on the state high court ruled unanimously late Saturday that Republican petitioners waited too long to file their suit challenging Act 77, the 2019 law that established universal mail voting in Pennsylvania. Trump allies had asked the court to invalidate all votes cast by mail in the most recent election or direct the majority-Republican legislature to choose a slate of presidential electors. The ruling with prejudice means that the plaintiffs are barred from bringing another action on the same claim.

The court’s written order called the latter option “extraordinary,” noting that it would disenfranchise 6.9 million voters.

“The want of due diligence demonstrated in this matter is unmistakable,” the justices wrote, noting that the lawsuit was filed “more than one year” after no-excuse mail voting was enacted in Pennsylvania. The order blamed petitioners for a “complete failure to act with due diligence in commencing their facial constitutional challenge, which was ascertainable upon Act 77’s enactment.”

Concurring, Justice David N. Wecht noted that the GOP petitioners “failed to allege that even a single mail-in ballot was fraudulently cast or counted.

All of the Wisconsin recounts Trump paid for have ended with Biden gaining 87 votes: https://apnews.com/article/election-...a13cf4319591b0

Quote:

Wisconsin finished a recount of its presidential results on Sunday, confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump in the key battleground state. Trump vowed to challenge the outcome in court even before the recount concluded.

Dane County was the second and last county to finish its recount, reporting a 45-vote gain for Trump. Milwaukee County, the state’s other big and overwhelmingly liberal county targeted in a recount that Trump paid $3 million for, reported its results Friday, a 132-vote gain for Biden.

Taken together, the two counties barely budged Biden’s winning margin of about 20,600 votes, giving the winner a net gain of 87 votes.

Make the boot big, heavy and strong enough and maybe he could use it to assist the incumbent out of his new office.

A Republican lawmaker from Pennsylvania abruptly left a White House meeting with President Trump after he was informed that he had tested positive for COVID-19, The Associated Press reported Sunday.

Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R) was informed during the Wednesday meeting with Trump about the president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results that he had tested positive for the virus and was led away by White House medical staff, one source at the meeting told the AP.

“The president instantly called the White House doctor in and he took them back to, I guess, the medical place,” the person said.

White House officials would not confirm whether the president or any others would self-isolate after coming into contact with Mastriano. The meeting continued for about a half-hour without Mastriano after the senator left, according to the AP.

PHOENIX — Arizona officials certified the state’s election results Monday, formalizing Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow victory over Donald Trump even as the Republican president’s attorneys continued making baseless claims of fraud in the state’s vote count.

Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs certified the election results alongside Gov. Doug Ducey, Attorney General Mark Brnovich, both Republicans, and State Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Brutinel.

Biden is only the second Democrat in 70 years to win Arizona. In the final tally, Biden won by 10,457 votes, 0.3 percent of the nearly 3.4 million ballots cast. Eleven Democratic electors will meet Dec. 14 to formally pledge Arizona’s electoral votes to Biden.

Elections challenges brought by the Trump campaign or his backers in key battleground states have largely been unsuccessful as Trump continues to allege voter fraud while refusing to concede.

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. In fact, election officials from both political parties have stated publicly that the election went well and international observers confirmed there were no serious irregularities.

Last week, a judge in Phoenix rejected the Arizona Republican Party’s bid to postpone the certification of election results in Maricopa County and dismissed the party’s legal challenge that sought a new audit of a sampling of ballots.

Lawyers for the state GOP were scheduled to be in court again Monday to argue for a fresh challenge of the verification process for mail ballots.

Even as state officials certified the results, Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, held a meeting at a downtown Phoenix hotel to lay out claims of irregularities in Arizona’s vote count. But they did not provide evidence of widespread fraud.

Nine Republican lawmakers attended the hearing, which was expected to last for several hours. They had requested permission to hold a formal legislative hearing at the Capitol but were denied by the House speaker and Senate president*.

We the People Convention placed an ad in Washington Times that is basically demanding President Trump invoke limited Martial law that could suspend the Constitution. They are saying the President has these extraordinary Executive actions and were actually implemented by President Abraham Lincoln in his efforts to save the Union during the Civil War.

Quote:

In the months following the start of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln struggled to preserve the Union. Many objected to Lincoln’s extraordinary use of Presidential authority, in particular his suspension of the right of “Habeas Corpus”. On June 12, 1863 Lincoln defended his extreme measures in a letter published in the New York Times. Citing Article I of the Constitution he argued: “Ours is a case of rebellion…in fact, a clear, flagrant, and gigantic case of rebellion; and the provision of the Constitution that ‘the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it’, is the provision which specifically applies to our present case.” Lincoln used the same reasoning in justifying a series of extraordinary Presidential Orders:

  1. Lincoln ordered hundreds of Northern newspapers that spoke against him to be shut down and their owners and editors arrested.
  2. Lincoln ordered the arrest of Ohio Congressman Clement Vallandigham for the crime of speaking out against him.
  3. Chief Justice of the US Roger Taney ruled that Lincoln had violated the US Constitution when he illegally suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus. After hearing this Lincoln signed an arrest warrant to have the Chief Justice of the U.S. arrested.
  4. Lincoln ordered the arrest of thousands in Maryland for the crime of “suspected Southern sympathies” including ordering the arrest of US Congressman Henry May from Maryland. These people were arrested and held in military prisons, without trial, some of them for years.

All the above sounds right up Trump's street. :erm:

Quote:

Akron, OH: Today, Tom Zawistowski, President of the TEA Party affiliated We the People Convention (WTPC) and Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party, published a full page ad in the Washington Times newspaper demanding that President Trump Invoke limited Martial law in order to allow the U.S. Military to oversee a new free and fair federal election if Legislators, Courts and the Congress do not follow the Constitution.

Zawistowski said, "We wanted to express our concerns to the President, to the legislators, courts and Congress that We the People will NOT cede our exclusive Constitutional right to elect our Representatives to judges, lawyers, courts, Governors, Secretary’s of State, Congress, corrupt election officials and local politicians, the corrupt media - or Leftist threats of violence! It is OUR EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to elect our President and that sacred right has been infringed by the massive, planned, illegal election fraud conducted by corrupt Democrat/Socialist Party operatives across our nation to steal our vote. We will NOT stand for it."

President Trump has raised at least $150 million since Election Day through an onslaught of appeals to supporters for help funding his unsuccessful challenges to the vote’s results, according to reports, but a large portion of the money could be put to other uses, including financing his next political move.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.

This also kills off whatever remote chance of Republican state legislatures ignoring the result and giving the EC votes to Trump, the fraud pretext has been undermined by Trump's own Attorney General.

Biden vote fraud claims: 288,000 votes shipped between state lines, says whistleblower


AN independent human rights organisation in the US has produced a whistleblower who has claimed to have seen up to 288,000 votes shipped between state lines, amid continuing accusations of massive voter fraud by the Democrats in the Presidential election.

A witness in a lawsuit from allies of President Donald Trump trying to overturn democracy in Michigan said the votes in Edison County "are cause for concern and indicate fraud" because President-elect Joe Biden won "more than 100% of the votes."

There's just one problem: There is no Edison County in Michigan, the Detroit Free Press pointed out.

In fact, there is no Edison County in the entire United States of America.

The claim came from Navid Keshavarz-Nia, who describes himself in an affidavit as a cybersecurity expert working at a defense contractor who has received training from several government agencies. The affidavit is included as an exhibit appended to a lawsuit filed last week by people working with Sidney Powell, a former member of the Trump campaign's legal team.

Trump team’s discredited fraud witness compared to SNL character

The quixotic quest by Donald Trump’s legal team to overturn the results of the election have birthed an unlikely star this week: Michigan resident Melissa Carone.

Carone, a contract worker for Dominion Voting Systems, appeared before a Michigan house panel on Wednesday and insisted, without providing evidence, that tens of thousands of votes had been counted twice.

It was the manner of her claims, however, that made her a social media hit, with numerous Twitter users comparing Carone to a Saturday Night Live character.

Carone repeatedly talked over a Michigan representative as he tried to get to the bottom of her allegations of voter fraud.

Those claims seemed to amount to vague accusations of ballot recounting and poll tampering, apparently by the Republican-controlled house.
