Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by basilico:
The whistleblower in Attorney General Letitia James’ office who said he was ordered to dig up dirt on President Trump met with federal prosecutors for “several hours” Tuesday, sources said.

Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor and a lawyer in James’ office, had a lengthy sit-down with both criminal and civil attorneys from the FBI and the US Department of Justice over his bombshell claims, the sources told The Post.

.
Just imagine we have lawyers here who argue Trump cases weren't political hit jobs.

basilico:
Letitia Big Tish James prosecutor says he was ordered to find any crime on Trump or his allies.
Daniel Wiesenfeld is an Assistant Attorney General in NY office.


https://www.timesunion.com/capitol/article/ny-prosecutor-claims-letitia-james-office-22409213.php

Veteran prosecutor........claims his bureau chief, Shamiso Maswoswe, had directed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”

Stalinisque . Show me the man I show you the crime.

He sent an email to 2000 NY state dept employees which was immediately deleted

This should end all the cases against Trump in New York.
Big Tish should be charged .. conspiracy against rights. She has already sent the guy on leave.

Basilico called all these cases a sham ---rigged juries, biased judges and rogue prosecutors amplified by negative 24/7 media coverage.

Deepsight the lawyer,what you think is way forward in such a scenario?
I forgot the other lawyer amazontopaz.

Stain to the black community. Weaponizing their positions to go after a political opponent.

CNN ,msnow NYT haven't published this expose. Scientists are racking their brains and running algorithms trying to figure out why
Some of Letitia James quotes that should have thrown out every case she threw at him if the judge and jury were not part of get Trump.

Campaign Trail & Debate Quotes
_Labeled him an "illegitimate president".
_Centered on "that man in the White House".
_Promised to "never be afraid to challenge" him.
_Claimed "Trump and his abuses" fueled her soul.
_Pledged to "focus on Donald Trump".
_Vowed to "follow his money".

Election Night Victory Quotes

_Banded him a "con man".
_Called him a "carnival barker"
._Warned him "we are not scared of you".
_Promised "shining a bright light into every dark corner"
_Vowed "demanding truthfulness at every turn".
_Threatened using the "unbending power of the law"

Interview & Media Statements
_Pledged to "be a real pain in the ass"
._Said "he's gonna know my name personally"
._Vowed to "prosecute the president for crimes".
_Alleged a "pattern and practice of money laundering".
_Promised to pursue "his business transactions"


It's only a kangaroo court that would ignore such comments from an Attorney General and prosecutor.
Judge Engoron ordered Trunp to surrender his Company records as demanded by Letitia, ,went ahead to conclude there were violations committed before the trial begun . Trial was to determine what punishments to mete out.
Actual punishment was to ban Trump and his children from running any business in New York .He appointed a manager to oversee the business while levying a huge fine whose interest grew every day Letitia was proud to update a ticker every day showing the fine and penalties accumulated.
The most egregious evidence presented was Letitia claiming Mar a Lago, a beachfront property on 17 acres was worth only $27 million

Why won’t red states be fine with it?

They get to retain their seats for looking in the eyes of average americans and impoverishing them - failing on almost every campaign promise.
Red states are impoverishing Americans, I totally agree with you.
Statistics show that poorer states are preferred by wealthy companies and individuals because they can get rich quicker. They also show that rich people fleeing blue states is no big deal ,the loss of tax revenue to blue states is insignificant.
Many companies flee California after being caught red-handed polluting the ozone layer .

Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by basilico:
Karmelo Anthony’s family is asking supporters to fork over $250,000 to pay for the convicted killer’s appeal after a Texas judge shot down his request for a new trial. The GiveSendGo fundraiser has already raised $27,000 from grassroots supporters of the 19-year-old, who was sentenced to 35 years in June for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, 17, at a high school track meet in 2025 in Frisco.

Karmelo should be out by the time he is 35 years.
Appealing the judgement means his case gets another review. I see the Appeals court imposing life on him. He doesn't show an iota of remorse. Neither does hiis family.
Significant evidence was withheld from the jury like violent text messages from him.
There's no texting your girlfriend you'll stab somebody, carry a knife to school then stab someone to death within two hours.
There's no racism in your girlfriend reporting you to the authorities about you stalking her then you stab somebody the same day.

Following the recent court rulings on the administration’s latest Executive Orders regarding birthright citizenship—courts putting a hold on it again—it looks like the legal battles are only getting hotter. With the midterms around the corner, do you think the administration will pivot its focus to foreign policy, or double down on domestic policy pushes?

Extreme capitalism would collapse the US soon.. businesses want to operate without guardrails, whilst sometimes endangering the lives of the populace.

Thats how the Niger delta in Nigeria has ended up being polluted by hydrocarbon spills, negatively impacting on the flora and fauna of that region.

Different sets of rules for different types of people

18 years behind bars for an honest ignorant mistake that was made out of desperation. Still denied parole
The Two Americas: Where are the women wearing pink for Tiffany Woods, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008 over her premature son’s death after giving her infant cow's milk during Hurricane Katrina evacuations? Tiffany was serving an automatic life sentence until former Gov. John Bel Edwards commuted it to 36 years in 2023 under a recommendation from the pardon board.

This made Tiffany eligible for release this year, but in February she was denied release despite serving 18 years behind bars. Board member Carolyn Stapleton said she couldn’t agree to Tiffany’s release after hearing opposition from Caddo Parish District Attorney James Stewart’s office and viewing photos of the baby’s body.
Tiffany’s premature baby Emmanuel was born during Hurricane Katrina. She evacuated to Shreveport, where she lived in a motel and then in a rented home. She told the parole board that she didn't know what to do after her baby started vomiting his formula in large amounts and that she had run out of vouchers for the federal program to help low-income, postpartum mothers and children, known as WIC. She has admitted that she made a mistake and that baby Emmanuel is gone because of her actions.
We live in a society that favors white women while harshly punishing Black women. Where was/is the Compassion for Tiffany?

I am good at understanding figures unlike you

Elon Musk state taxes on his $55 billion compensation package would have netted California $7 billion .
He moved to Texas

Nigerian annual tax revenue ¹~ $27 billion

Looking at the larger picture on business fleeing .
California has lost roughly $11.9 billion to $12 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI) annually.

New York has suffered an approximate $9.9 billion annual reduction in its taxable base

Florida & Texas have collectively absorbed massive influxes, with Florida leading by capturing upwards of $20.5 billion in newly migrated personal and corporate wealth annually.



Well I'm.sure you'll say it's no big deal since California us still the largest economy.

So you know?

All the free stuff the Seattle mayor promised, yet she is being recalled. Why?

So these people when they say "FREE" isn't it for votes?

Where is Mamdani free transport? Instead be asked the police not to arrest those who don't pay.

It's just like Bernie, not Trump.

Bernie supports people who openly call for the literal blood of political opponents and support terrorists and hostile nations.

In countries that work for its citizens, kuli kuli and groundnut are not shared prior to elections. Rather cost effective, sustainable and beneficial programs are set up that outlives generations.

Bernie sanders calling for healthcare as a fundamental human right isn’t calling for blood of his political opponents. Americans deserve it. Who doesn’t want good and affordable health care?

Or him advocating for taking big money out of politics so that you don’t have the ultra rich influencing the outcomes of legislations that impacts on the normal man on the streets.

These are basic concepts that should resonate with any normal human being in a democratic society..

Look at your supporting a politician doing nonsense.

The footage showed him handing bundles of absentee ballots to a driver, who then deposited them into the drop box.

Michigan law doesn't allow somebody to collect dozens of people's ballots that they are not related to. You generally have to be the voter, their immediate family/household member, a mail carrier or an authorized election official.

Have you investigated who the absentee ballots belonged to and whether he was authorised to carry them?

I assume there’s an ongoing legal case related to this incident.

My next question is what is the “deport him” about from the poster? Isn’t the Abu an American?

As long as it's not Trump or Republicans, you will support all the nonsense in the world, even a country like Iran.

So when surveillance footage shows a councilman repeatedly handling bundles of absentee ballots, asking whether he was legally entitled to possess all of them is a perfectly legitimate question. Yes, State Police were investigating the matter. I don't know if it's still an ongoing investigation.

Also, a broader Hamtramck election investigation involving allegations that several people and even Musa conspired to obtain absentee ballots from newly naturalized citizens and fill them in.

Two other councilmembers were actually charged; Musa was investigated but was not charged. One of those councilmembers, Mohammed Hassan, was later convicted of a misdemeanor absentee-ballot offense while being acquitted of the felony counts.

I said fraud, I don't care about what the person is ho posted that said, what I care about is what you and I saw in the video.

When America protect the world so that the leech that is your country can afford social services.

Now that they have been exposed, they want to take money away from healthcare and increase tax just to ramp up their defence. America is the reason why you have health care instead of paying tax to Putin.

What ever you think Abu did or was trying to do, Trump is trying to pull a bigger one on the American people nationwide.

And why? Non-performance, broken election promises, rising cost, inflation, etc
