But in a motion seeking to have him released pending trial, the lawyer wrote that Taranto was not a flight risk, had a family in Washington state and had served in Iraq before being honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy.
Having weapons and threatening an ex-President really seems like he shouldn’t be released.
He lived in a van, how is he not a flight risk?
Not to mention that there is a good chance that the honorably discharged veteran just tried to kill his former Commander in Chief.
On Wednesday, a federal magistrate judge unsealed a slightly less redacted version of the affidavit that ultimately allowed the FBI to search Trump’s Florida estate on Aug. 8 last year. One previously redacted sentence about material found at the property read: “Multiple documents also contained what appears to be FPOTUS’s handwritten notes.”
This was an “interesting” note that has potential implications for Trump’s defense, according to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who parsed the document in her latest Substack newsletter.
“This means Trump won’t be able to claim he never saw the documents,” Vance wrote. “At best he could maintain the notes were written while he was in office. But if he resorts to that argument, he still has to explain how the documents ended up at Mar-a-Lago after they were in his hands.”
Antiquities belonging to Israel have been kept for the past several months at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, and senior Israeli figures have unsuccessfully tried to have them returned to Israel.
Among the antiquities are ancient ceramic oil lamps which are part of Israel’s national treasures collection. They were sent to the U.S. in 2019 with the approval of then-Director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, Israel Hasson, on the condition that they be returned within weeks, yet almost four years later, they have yet to be returned.
Those stolen classified docs aren’t gonna weigh themselves down 'ya know.
TW for discussion of suicidal ideation:
Also, not sure if this is quite the right thread, so if anyone things this would work in another thread, please feel free to cross-post.
Eff off asshole.
Nothing would be better than for Republicans to bring up a vote that has no Constitutional basis, and have the House confirm Trump’s impeachments by voting the bill down.
All in a day’s work boys…
