Stephen Miller Calls For Criminal Referrals Of Biden

Former presidential advisor Stephen Miller declared “lawfare” on President Joe Biden and the Democrats while addressing Donald Trump’s multiple criminal indictments this weekend.Miller appeared ostentatiously angry during an appearance on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures, where he ranted about “thought crimes” and political persecution before calling on Republicans to draft criminal referrals for President Biden and his associates.“We’ve entered a dark new era in American history in which the prosecutor’s office has been weaponized and transformed into a tool of political repression,” Miller moaned while talking to host Maria Bartiromo and Rep.

The Benefits and Drawbacks to Charging Trump Like a Mobster

On Monday night, Donald Trump and eighteen other people were indicted on forty-one felony counts by a grand jury in Atlanta. The case stemmed from Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 Presidential-election results in Georgia, where he was narrowly defeated by Joe Biden. Earlier this month, Jack Smith, a special counsel for the Department of Justice, filed a federal indictment related to Trump’s conduct in the aftermath of his election loss. A notable distinction between the two cases is that Fani Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, decided to charge Trump and his associates under the state’s RICO Act, a racketeering statute that traditionally has been used to pursue organized crime. (She also charged Trump with thirteen felony counts, whereas Smith charged the former...

Attorney Points to Big Problem With Trump Indictment—Allegedly Exculpatory Evidence – RedState

Looks like there are more problems with that indictment from Special Counsel Jack Smith, even as it just getting started with the arraignment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday. Trump entered a not guilty plea to the four counts, which included conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. According to a report from CBS News’ Catherine Herridge, Tim Parlatore, who is the attorney for former NYPD Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik, provided records to Jack Smith on July 23. Parlatore thinks the Special Counsel may not have reviewed records before indicting Trump because he thinks those materials are exculpatory. A source close to Kerik’s legal ...
