A slow trickle of support in Congress in former President Donald Trump’s trial is finally beginning to emerge. The delegation to Tuesday’s trial, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), includes former presidential candidate and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, as well as Florida Reps. Cory Mills and Byron Donald. This includes members of the House of Representatives.
Also in attendance Monday were U.S. Sens. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), as well as U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis. He became the first of New York’s 10 Republicans to find time to support his party’s presidential candidate. Last week, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) made his first appearance as a member of Congress.
Shaw’s trial may seem clown-like in the American system, but that doesn’t mean it can’t serve its purpose.
Despite the deep flaws in the New York trial’s premise (and the possibility of a successful appeal if a conviction is reached), Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s efforts have helped President Trump’s campaign is a real political threat to Japan. Yes, it’s a show trial, but a show trial can still perform its duties. The participation of prominent Republicans shows that recognition of this reality and the basic political instincts that have been missing in recent weeks are slowly being rediscovered.
Supporters of the former president have been quick to point out that Mr. Bragg’s charges are false. For those who haven’t been following closely, Manhattan prosecutors are trying to put Trump in prison for more than 100 years for falsifying business records to hide a non-disclosure agreement, a misdemeanor they claim was committed. It was upgraded to a felony. For violating federal campaign finance laws.
He ran for office on a promise to prosecute Trump, but he hesitated and ended up running late. In New York state, he can only prosecute someone for falsifying business records within two years after the crime was committed. For felonies, the time period changes to five years, but Bragg cited the coronavirus backlog as it was too late to file charges within that time limit.
Adding to the madness, the security payments are not campaign expenses, and Mr. Bragg does not have the authority to sue under federal campaign finance law.
Just to be clear, the entire incident is based on the words of disbarred liar Michael Cohen. And porn star Stormy Daniels’ testimony was widely reported in the corporate media for several days, but when she seemed a little weird, the corporate media pretended it didn’t matter. For example, she was allowed to detail her alleged sexual encounters with Trump, about which she also changed her story. The judge somehow allowed this seemingly unimportant testimony while barring the former Federal Election Commission chairman from testifying about the non-disclosure agreement.
This is not a campaign fee..
The judge granted all of this, denying the defense’s request for a mistrial after Stormy Daniels’ embarrassment last week. It is noteworthy that he is a donor to Joe Biden and his daughter is a Democratic political fundraiser.
There is no doubt that the shenanigans of the past few weeks have set Trump up well for a successful appeal of his conviction. But it’s almost certain he won’t have an answer before the election, so what’s the point? That would have accomplished the goal of convicting the Republican candidate of a felony and thereby deterring Americans from voting for him.His committed partisans are likely to become even more enthusiastic, but polls repeatedly show
It is shown A felony conviction would cost Trump votes.some polls suggest A conviction is Biden’s best path to reelection.
Shaw’s trial may seem clown-like in the American system, but that doesn’t mean it can’t serve its purpose.
They embarrass the target. Last week’s porn star testimony was deeply embarrassing.Vance will lead Monday’s proceedings.
tweeted He is “now convinced that the main purpose of this trial is psychological torture.”
Additionally, show trials isolate their targets. You are isolated to “the people of New York State.”
Finally, silence the target with a show trial. President Trump is forced into silence, forbidden from pointing out how farcical this is on pain of his incarceration.
That’s why it’s important to show up. It is an important perspective that senators, congressmen and other Republican leaders sit among the defendant’s supporters. The film not only fights back against feelings of isolation, but also serves as an important megaphone for loud politicians who have been ironically forced into silence.
Starting with Mr. Scott last week, politicians have welcomed reporters in front of the courthouse to address matters that former presidents have been prohibited from speaking about. And the press will pick it up, so even if you’re one of the many Trump-skeptical Republicans in Washington, the exposure alone can be politically valuable. “It’s money on the ground,” a longtime D.C. conservative official told Blaze Media about Tuesday’s delegation. “They’re just flying to New York to pick it up.”
That doesn’t mean there won’t be pushback from Biden’s palace guards in the corporate media. Surprisingly, some people
was suggested It means that the Republican Party is unfairly using its influence by drawing attention to political persecution. Incredible bile.
And while dozens of Republican senators and many more have yet to visit, nine from New York alone are participating. But it’s natural for Congress to be interested, even if they’re late to the party. And the more, the merrier.

Fake heroes of the big January 6th primary Losses (and Nancy Pelosi’s too)
Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn lost his primary bid to replace Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.).did not run for re-election. Dunn was elevated as a hero of the Jan. 6 riot, the day he wrote a book called “Standing My Ground,” went on a television tour and received the Presidential Citizen’s Medal from Biden. His campaign was supported by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
The only problem was that Dan seemed to be a serial hoaxer. While he goes on and on about his many heroic acts and bloody fists defeating racists, thousands of hours of security cameras and bodies reviewed by Blaze Media’s Steve Baker. Camera footage revealed an angry and sometimes clumsy man, already incapacitated only by physical confrontations. A calm intruder.
Superiors appear to have twice told an enraged Dunn to leave or calm down. The third time, an excited Dan accidentally ejects the magazine from his firearm. In the fourth incident, he was heard screaming about the police being carried away on a stretcher (which did not actually happen).

Handy joins John Hinshaw, who was sentenced to 21 months in prison for participating in the same protest. Three other activists from the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising are currently awaiting sentencing.
“Today’s outrageous 57-month sentence for a progressive pro-life activist is yet another stark reminder,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) told Blaze Media. “Biden’s Justice Department is fully armed against pro-life Americans and is using the FACE Act to do so.”
He continued, “House Republicans should defund the weaponization of the Department of Justice, repeal the FACE Act, and defend our freedom to exercise.”

Flaming: ‘Behind-the-scenes recordings reveal what top gender doctors really think about sex reassignment surgery’ Daily Caller News Foundation
You may not have heard of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), but your local hospital has. WPATH is the leading authority on America’s lucrative sex change industry, the so-called standards organization. They are the ones who claim it’s all safe and good for patients.Well, thanks
DCNF Public Records RequestHere you can get a glimpse of some of their private meetings.
… In one recorded session, WPATH faculty and gender physicians argued that mental health issues do not necessarily affect a patient’s ability to administer cross-sex hormones.
In another video, a doctor told participants that they should let their children know that cross-sex hormones can cause infertility, but that if the child says they want treatment, it is important to note that there are no concerns about future effects. However, he admitted that he would prescribe hormone drugs anyway.
One surgeon euphemistically called phalloplasty, a series of surgeries in which the vaginal cavity is removed and a fake penis is created from the harvested tissue, an “adventure” for young people. He took this action despite later acknowledging that the same procedure “certainly” would result in complications, including bladder dysfunction and tissue death.
One doctor called the entire field of cross-sex hormones “off-label,” referring to the concept of drugs used for purposes other than those for which they were approved. The doctor went on to say that female patients may actually understand the side effects of drugs that cause hair loss. They will look “more masculine”…
