  1. A judge just handed Trump a major loss in the DC attorney general's lawsuit over inauguration funds as the case heads to trial

    • A judge reinstated the Trump Organization as a defendant in a lawsuit over the potential misuse of inauguration funds.

    • The DC Attorney General alleges the organization wrongly took nonprofit funds from Trump's 2017 inauguration.

    • A judge ruled the AG brought enough evidence to keep the company as a defendant.
    A Washington, DC judge reinstated the Trump Organization as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the district's attorney general over whether former President Donald Trump misused funds for his 2017 inauguration — reversing an earlier decision and handing a major loss to Trump as the case heads to trial.

    DC Attorney General Karl A. Racine filed the civil lawsuit in January 2020. He accused the Trump Organization, the Trump International Hotel in DC, and Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee, which is a tax-exempt nonprofit, of using tax-free funds to improperly pay the Trump Organization and members of the Trump family.

    In November, DC Superior Court Judge José M. López cleaved the Trump Organization off the case, ruling that Racine's office didn't bring enough evidence to establish the company may have broken the law.

    Racine filed a motion for reconsideration later that month. On December 31, the case was transferred to a different judge, Yvonne Williams, who ruled Wednesday night that the Trump Organization should remain in the case after all.

    She pointed out in her ruling that Gentry Beach, a man who the attorney general's office says was acting on behalf of the Trump Organization, appeared to conflate the company and the inaugural committee when booking a block of hotel rooms.

    "The contract involved a large block of rooms booked for people affiliated with the Trump Organization at the Loews Madison Hotel during the week of the 2017 Inauguration," Williams wrote. "Mr. Beach signed the contract on behalf of the Trump Organization and listed Lindsay Santoro, Mr. Donald Trump Jr.'s personal assistant, as the point of contact for the rooms."

    Lawyers for the Trump Organization argued that the attorney general's office failed to collect any testimony from Beach. But Williams wrote that López erroneously ruled in their favor without first considering whether Racine should be able to issue a subpoena to depose Beach.

    Racine celebrated the new ruling Wednesday night.

    "Big news: The judge added the Trump Org in NY back into our lawsuit against the Presidential Inaugural Committee," he wrote on Twitter. "Our lawsuit is moving forward fully intact & full steam ahead. We sued the inaugural committee for misusing funds to enrich the Trump family. Now we're going to trial."

    The case is now headed to trial. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, former First Lady Melania Trump's former close friend, said Monday night that she would be "the lead witness" in the case.

    Wolkoff joined the inauguration committee to help plan it before joining Melania Trump's office in the White House. She left in 2018 following reports that she misused inauguration funds herself, and later published a tell-all book in 2020 that burned bridges with the former first lady.

    Williams wrote in her new ruling that she would hold a conference on Thursday to address discovery motions, at which point she may set a trial date.

  2. And Rudy G. is now fully cooperating...... '' I have insurance.'' he once said.

    What it really means that Rudy Giuliani is now fully cooperating with January 6th Committee

    [​IMG]

    Days after the news surfaced that Rudy Giuliani was in talks to cooperate with the January 6th Committee, the committee now says that Giuliani is indeed fully cooperating. This kind of thing never comes down to whether someone like Giuliani has become “good” or is still “bad” or can be “trusted.” It only ever comes down to whether Giuliani now believes he has to selfishly give up Donald Trump in order to keep himself out of prison.

    Can you provide source for the Hillary and Hunter investigations?

    And what was Trump doing for four years when he had DOJ to investigate Clintons and Bidens?

    You seem to have large sinkholes in your core base of knowledge
    You spend all day in the world of politics and you cant answer your own question, At least to try to counter my statement, you could google in 3 seconds and learn
    But i think you know its true but you want my words first so you can find a way to go vague enough to disprove

    CROOKED
    Duh...There is special counsel on Hillary...You will respond that its not Hillary but the others being investigation...Dont go vague...she is part of it

    CRACKPIPE
    Yes, Hunter Biden is under investigation for tax dealings
    Hunter Biden announced Dec. 9 that federal prosecutors were investigating his tax affairs, which he said he first learned about the day prior.

    Why the triggered rant for asking some specifics?

    There is absolutely no mention of Hillary by Durham in his investigations even in the latest fraud filing, where did you get the special counsel part? Can you provide some actual sources because your rant makes no sense.

    That's an investigation that started in 2018 and wait for it - no charges, no updates, NOTHING.

    Is this what you are latching on to as your last hope?

    Good luck.

    Really???
    This is to much time to provide basic knowledge to you
    Your knowledge base is limited to the first row of a Jeopardy board...Alex for $100...and dont ask me to prove if Alex is alive

    There is absolutely no mention of Hillary by Durham in his investigations even in the latest fraud filing,

    I just made the point that you will try to say that Hillary is not a target....Maybe she has enough separation to protect her....Separation that her handlers would have designed, like setting up a a home server the day before she becomes SOS ...so she can sell access through the foundation

    where did you get the special counsel part?
    HUH?!?!

    This is the problem, you read fake news without ever checking the filings themselves - there is ZERO mention of Clinton in the latest Durham filings, let alone 'campaign lawyer' - in fact what Durham alleges is something that happened during the Obama presidency BEFORE Trump was even in the White House.

    You are welcome to read an actual news source here instead of peddling far right fake conspiracy theories
