COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND DEMAND FOR TRIAL BY JURY

1. In the run-up to the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts
orchestrated an unthinkable plot – one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy.

9. In short, the Defendants, blinded by political ambition, orchestrated a malicious
conspiracy to disseminate patently false and injurious information about Donald J. Trump and his campaign, all in the hopes of destroying his life, his political career and rigging the 2016 Presidential Election in favor of Hillary Clinton. When their gambit failed, and Donald J. Trump was elected, the Defendants’ efforts continued unabated, merely shifting their focus to undermining his presidential administration. Worse still, the Defendants continue to spread their vicious lies to this day as they unabashedly publicize their thoroughly debunked falsehoods in an
effort to ensure that he will never be elected again. The deception, malice, and treachery perpetrated by the Defendants has caused significant harm to the American people, and to the Plaintiff, Donald J. Trump, and they must be held accountable for their heinous acts.

That is not lawyer-speak. It's clear that whoever wrote this wrote it for Trump's ego, and fully understood the language and the over-reach would make this DOA. If this wasn't written to make him feel good, he would have a heckuva case against his lawyer.

Oh yeah, that's a real possibility Ben. Is it because Biden has an obsession with  perpetual conspiracy theorists expats living in the Thai jungles and has heard your repeated disapproval of him and now he'll have to step down because he realizes he'll never be the man  you want him to be? 

You sure that wasn't your dream from a Fox newscast in 2020. They actually said  Biden was only running for President to give it to Kamala Harris so the left could trick us into having another black President. heh heh

This may be dispiriting for you Ben, because it actually gives you less to be upset  about. But one story that has resulted from the end of this Post Cold War Era, that you'd probably get wind of in another 6 months, is that Biden has galvanized a deglobalization of the world economy  with the deliberate pulling out of a great many of the multi national corporations from Russia. This has occurred to a magnitude I previously never would have imagined. Of all things, this to me is the most remarkable thing that's happened. I never thought a President or even Nato could do that. In this case it's a great thing.. It represents at least a small reversal and taming of the private sector by the public sector. Something I've advocated. But It's only the beginning  and now and now the battle is  going to be out in the open. You've rightfully mention Blackrock a number of times. Their CEO Larry Finck is decrying this change in an  article he wrote. (boo hoo!) Hate to be the bearer of good news, but I felt I'd jog the 6 month lag time  from Thailand with news from modern industrial world.

Entitled "It's not "woke" for businesses to think beyond profit". And with your longstanding opposition to "wokeness", I'm sure you agree!  Again , heh heh!

In these Jackson confirmation hearings. Are these Republicans just out of their minds asking the insane questions? Particularly the second one below, same sex couples shouldn't have the right to marry because it offends Christians? Are we really this screwed up that these guys have a viable party that could take over Congress? It appears nothing will interest the average everyday person to vote in his interest! But "culture wars" is where it's at!

Kirk-

 

Excellent missive from you.

 

As always, I do not advise drinking the red or blue kool-aid.  Although, these days, the kool-aid is usually purple. 

[Benjamin Cole]

Well, David Sanger of the NYT is supposed to be a well-sourced guy, an established figure within the establishment, if you will pardon the expression.

Sanger, in the NYT, says the Biden administration “seeks to help Ukraine lock Russia in a quagmire without inciting a broader conflict with a nuclear-armed adversary or cutting off potential paths to de-escalation … CIA officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units, according to American officials. But as of now, Mr. Biden and his staff do not see the utility of an expansive covert effort to use the spy agency to ferry in arms as the United States did in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union during the 1980s.”

---30---

I suppose this might be clever international gamesmanship, and Washington will make sure Russia has another Afghanistan (Americans are experts on that topic, btw, although laughably today the globalists talk about the Russian experience there).

Oh, fine and dandy, and what happens to the Ukrainians? 

The Biden game plan accepts the Mariupolization of Ukraine. A nation of rubble (which the US did to Raqqa and al-Fallujah, btw). 

Poland's plan to more aggressively counter the Russian forces with NATO forces strikes me as a better path. 

The images of Russian warships just unloading missiles and artillery onto Mariupol are incredible...and soon will become normal. Atrocities remain atrocious only for so long, before becoming routine, and accepted. 

That is the future for Ukraine.

Hillary Clinton should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

Still, the story line that Hillary and DC Donks (experts in bureaucratic warfare) triggered the Russiagate investigation through cynical use of the Donk-financed Steele Dossier is certainly credible, and probably true.

The M$M bought this Russiagate story-line hook, line and sinker, and again the Clintons are no fools when it comes to working with the M$M (as many note, the DC Donks, the M$M and the national security state have formed an intensely symbiotic relationship, or even just merged into a blob). 

None of this makes Trump a nice guy, and IMHO he has more flaws than any other dozen men put together. 

But this lawsuit may have merit, which is separate from saying Trump can prevail in court.

Virginia Thomas, wife of SCOTUS Justice, Clarence Thomas has now been found to be communicating  with Mark Meadows about efforts to overturn the 2020 election, calling it "The Greatest Heist in American history."

Thomas on Nov 10  2020.

“Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”

Meadows reply :“This is a fight of good versus evil,” Meadows wrote. “Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it.”

The Russiagate story was almost certainly true. It's always best to flip things around to get some perspective.

1) If Hillary had called for Russia to release Trump's tax returns and two hours later her staff was provided his tax returns by Russia, we would have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia.

2) if Hillary's campaign manager provided Russian oligarchs with election data so Russian bots could target American voters, we would have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia.

3) If Chelsea Clinton met with Russians who then offered their help in getting her mom elected, we would have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia. 

4) If Hillary's personal lawyer was trying to cook up a sweetheart deal in Moscow during the election, and was ordered to lie about it by Hillary, we would have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia. 

5) if Hillary's personal dirty tricks czar--who'd been accused of lying about his relationship with Wikileaks and Russia--was pardoned (the acceptance of which is an acknowledgement he'd committed a crime) before he might be forced to tell all he knew about Hillary's relationship with Russia, we'd have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia.

6. If Hillary had met with Putin and then taken his side against the American intelligence services, and had actually physical cowered in his presence for all the world to see, we would have grounds for believing she was colluding with Russia. 

 

No matter how much some want to believe that evil Hillary colluded with the msm to pick on poor Donnie, it it a 100% pure major fact that history will not treat trump kindly. Just as Jeff Davis, a hero to many in his time, has gone down in history as a traitor, so will Trump.

Ex-prosecutor says Donald Trump is 'guilty of numerous felony violations'

NEW YORK — A prosecutor who had been leading a criminal investigation into Donald Trump before quitting last month said in his resignation letter that he believes the former president is "guilty of numerous felony violations" and he disagreed with the Manhattan district attorney's decision not to seek an indictment.

[Matt Allison]

Ben- Trump is intertwined with Russians up to his eyeballs; as a horrible businessman whose ventures were constantly failing, American banks were done dealing with his incompetence, forcing Trump to look overseas for funding.

Putin has what's known as "kompromat" on Trump and many other GOP politicians. These people are essentially being blackmailed by Putin. It has been the source of his support here in the states. He wanted NATO to end so he could put the Soviet Union back together, and needed to destroy the American political system to achieve that. However, much like Hitler, just as he was on the cusp of succeeding with his plans, his own hubris has defeated him; his bungled invasion of Ukraine has resulted in NATO being more united than ever, and it will remain so for decades.

[Matt Allison]

Btw, the lawsuit isn't real, Trump will pull it at some point, as he would never be able to abide by the discovery phase of such a suit. Its true intent is to throw red meat to his cultists, raise money, and just generally continue to propagate the many false narratives he tries to sell to his suckers.

Trump, like Hillary, deserves to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

What we saw in the Mueller investigation...hardly convincing. 

That the M$M is deep into bed with the national security state and the DC Donks strikes me as beyond dispute.  

I do not think comparing Trump to Jefferson Davis adds much to the conversation.  Davis is a loathsome figure, beyond redemption, who supported slavery. Many even go with the "Trump=Hitler=Stalin" analogies.  IMHO, that is rhetoric. By being skeptical of the Russiagate baloney, I am not defending Stalin or Jefferson Davis.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ap-top-news-elections-politics-north-america-ea617240fe264947a967f8d13ed9a9a5

WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence President Donald Trump’s campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election but reached no conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. That brought a hearty claim of vindication from Trump but set the stage for new rounds of political and legal fighting.

Headlines and accusations are not facts or convictions. 

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence President Donald Trump’s campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election but reached no conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.

That was the Associated Press takes on the Mueller investigation. 

Was Trump a political naif? Probably, and he was played by both the Clintons (who likely orchestrated the Russiagate hoax) and Putin, who effectively used Trump for Putin's ends (though using and gaining collusion to two separate things). 

In any event, we agree on Putin. Even the thin gauzy mask is off now, and we see a vile lunatic, willing to use warships to pour missiles and the world's heaviest artillery into apartment buildings Mariupol. 

Giving the Ukrainians bazookas is not going to stop that shelling from warships. 

I do not understand Nato/Biden for not interdicting in Mariupol. I think we should take leadership from Poland on this one. 

Biden does not appear up to the task.

Nobody hopes this outlook is true more than me. This is a popular narrative of the day in the M$M.

UK intel indicates Russians are "digging in," called the "culmination" of the invasion stage, and preparing for long sieges.  Even crummy militaries adapt to circumstances.  When the Russians are dug in, then their losses will diminish. 

We can hope that supply lines to dug-in Russia fronts will be cut. That may starve them out. 

As for the Russian warships pouring missiles and world's heaviest artillery into Mariupol...the West seems unwilling to even try to interdict. 

I guess Ukraine is regarded by the globalists as dispensable. Putin picked up on that.

This is so wrong it's laughable. There are plenty of historical figures who were not convicted of crimes whose behavior was abominable. The verdict of history is not validated or dismissed in a courtroom. 

Scopes was found guilty, but he won the case.

O.J. Simpson was acquitted but he lost the case. In the eyes of history, he is guilty as hell.

Richard Nixon, for that matter, kept the Vietnam War going for political reasons, at the expense of hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives. He was never tried for this. He was forced from office by the Watergate scandal. He was not convicted of a crime, but admitted to committing a crime when he accepted the pardon granted by Ford. 

Dubya attacked Iraq based on bogus evidence. History has not been kind to him. Now some people give him a pass because he wasn't as bad as Trump. But when you look at his record it was abominable. 

P.S. As far as Mueller's "no evidence" claim, there will always be an asterisk, many of Trump's closest associates refused to cooperate, and there was no cooperation from Russia. The investigation was conducted with its hands tied behind its back, and with a gun to its head. Mueller should have looked at Trump's finances, for example, but this was not pursued for fear the investigation would be shut down immediately. Contrast that with the Whitewater investigation, which subpoenaed a dress so it could be tested to see if the President's baby batter was on the fibers. Would such a subpoena have been obtained against Trump? Of course not. Trump's corrosive and corrupt attitudes tainted every bit of the executive branch during his reign of awful. It was so bad that one of the biggest suck-ups in history--Bill Barr- eventually jumped ship. So, no, Trump was not convicted of Russiagate, but we can rest assured he was guilty as hell and got away with it. As he has most everything in his painfully-long sociopathic life...

http://https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10648965/Trump-tells-appeals-court-House-Democrats-want-tax-returns-political-reasons.html

"Donald Trump's lawyer on Thursday urged a federal court to block House Democrats from getting his tax returns, insisting lawmakers are seeking the ex-president's financial information for political reasons. 
Attorney Cameron Thomas Norris is representing Trump in an appeal of a lower court's December 2021 decision that stated House Ways and Means Committee Chair Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.) has a right to obtain the returns.
'The key question in these cases is whether the committee has a legitimate legislative purpose,' Norris said, according to The Hill. 'If we didn't plausibly allege a non-legislative purpose here, then no one ever could.' "
