Why do we have to worry about Hispanics doing donuts?? that's not the Palestinian flag
You need a declared war. Last case was from WWII
Trump plans to be there for three days next week. He is on the witness list, but I wonder if he will be testifying. Possibly Erik or Don Jr will be. I think they would put Trump on towards the end. A couple of Trump Org employees have testified already.
Donald Trump will again head from the presidential campaign trail to the courthouse next week as he returns to New York City for the civil fraud trail that could dissolve his family business.
The former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner plans to fly from Iowa after a Monday rally and head to New York State Supreme Court on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, according to a source familiar with his travel plans.
I saw the other now. is there an option to delete your own post?
This happened a month ago.
So I don't know what this guy is talking about with fake news.
He was indicted in Sept and already plead guilty. https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-gun-charge-investigation-e5c8ded90ea8c22d2e2e7cb09804b747
So most people know what is going on. The gun charges were part of the plea deal on tax charges that fell apart, so with no with no plea deal in place, they filed the gun charges in a CA district court because that is where the DOJ says the crime took place.
The news that came out today is pretty clear about this. https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-gun-charge-dismiss-prosecutor-indictment-e175a915f76f5ef4f14783be4afc93a6
A gun count that had been part of a collapsed plea deal in the Hunter Biden case was dismissed Wednesday as a judge signed off on a prosecution request.
The order from U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika formally removes a gun-possession charge that has now been replaced by a three-count indictment.
What 1917 thing does Trump refer to?
This sounds like folks who want to Scalise to drop out are saying this trying to make it a reality.
other reporting seems like he going to stick around as long as he can.
Netanyahu seems to pull IDF out of Gaza and was more concerned with the West Bank. This is why they are angry.
Also supposed saw a Hamas official say this was planned for two years.
New charges.
So you got charged with 10 crimes in June. And they turn up new evidence in August, that's basically part of the same scheme, they can indict you for two new charges in Sept, so the superseding indictment would contain 12 charges.
Happened in the mar a lago case when they added the 3rd guy. So it's like the old indictment is out of date.
Acting as a foreign agent is the charge
Violation of FARA laws.
You need to be at war for an actual legal charge of treason. You also need an enemy and Egypt is an ally.
Other news from the courtroom. Trump will be back in court next week, he is listed as witness, I don't know if these are the days he is expected to testify.
And the Trial is estimated to go to late December.
To play Devil's advocate, Trump is being accused filing fraudulent financial statements which where then used to secure bank loans, it's not surprising a risk manager would testify. The Twitter user is not giving an accurate picture of the testimony
He just said he approved the loans because he knew Trump would pay them back and they accepted his teams valuation on his properties
This is not what quite what the bank guy said. They didn't fully accept Trump's valuations. In 2012, they lowered the evaluation, on Trump Tower by $200 million from Trump's numbers because they learned a separate appraisal existed and in general they lowered the estimated value of Trump's overall worth.
At the height of its relationship with the Trump Organization the company loaned Trump over $378 million, and failed to commission independent appraisals of Trump's properties, Haigh acknowledged. While the bank listed lower estimates for the value of Trump's assets year after year, it continued to do business with Trump and his company.
KEY POINTS from yesterday
-Starting with the Doral golf club, Trump was taking his loans from Deutsche Bank, not from the Commercial real estate part of the bank, but from the personal banking side
-A bank wouldn't normally lend $125 million for someone to buy a golf club, because it's not an easy asset to sell in a default, so the loans were mainly based on Trump's overall wealth. Which is the main point of this trial.
-Since they weren't using the assets themselves as collateral they were relying on Trump's numbers "broadly." Trump was saying he was worth $4.3 billion at the time.
"I assumed that the representations of the assets and liabilities were broadly accurate,"
Deutsche Bank also made the loans contingent on several "covenants." One of which was Trump agreed to maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 billion as a condition of the loan.
The loan memorandum prepared by Deutsche Bank included a covenant that the "Guarantor shall maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 billion excluding any value related to the Guarantor's brand value," according to a document marked as evidence today.
The New York attorney general alleges that Trump's actual net worth at the time of the loan agreement was only $1.5 billion, an amount that would have triggered a default.
Trump tried to buy the Buffalo Bills and Deutsche Bank wouldn't lend him the money, but did help by saying he "wherewithal" to afford the team. This was based on statements from Jeffrey McConney, a Trump exec and a defendant in this case that Trump had $300 million in liquid assets.
the bank was still willing to help Trump by sending a letter to support his bid, according to Haigh -- on the condition that Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney certify that the company was still in compliance with the covenants of the three outstanding loans the bank had given Trump.
McConney verified that Trump had over $300 million in liquid assets in 2014,
Under cross examination by Trump's lawyers, the bank guy said
Haigh has acknowledged that Deutsche Bank's analysis supported approving Trump's loans. ... Haigh also acknowledged that the bank failed to conduct its own independent appraisals of Trump's top properties, and did not rigorously examine his financial information.
Federal prosecutors added a new charge Thursday against Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., accusing him of conspiring, as a public official, to act as a foreign agent.
Menendez was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee until he was indicted on bribery charges last month. The superseding indictment filed on Thursday adds an additional charge against the senator, accusing him of acting as an agent of the government of Egypt.
80% of case thrown out at the get go...
What do you mean? The only bit I'm aware that was thrown out was Ivanka. She was originally part of this, but the the appeals court said the statue of limitations had run out since she left the Trump Org.
Trump filed then dropped a suit against the judge.
https://news.yahoo.com/trump-drops-lawsuit-against-judge-125447990.html
Why allegedly targeted?
Is Hamas denying this?
If you're from Oregon, you know about Rajneesh folks.
https://www.oregonlive.com/rajneesh/1985/07/rajneesh_followers_amass_fleet.html
To some observers, parking $7 million worth of Rolls-Royces in the midst of a remote, dusty valley in the Central Oregon canyonlands makes about as much sense as herding cattle in downtown Portland.
Amassing a fleet of 74 luxury cars, however, makes perfect sense to the disciples of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the Indian mystic who takes daily drives around the 64,229-acre Oregon ranch bought by his followers in 1981.
Even John Walker Lindh wasn't charged with treason.
The last person convicted of treason was a Japanese American after WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawakita_v._United_States
There's nothing about Menendez case that will get close to treason.
In common speech when you sell out your country, people use the term treason, but the legal charge is super rare.
