26 minutes long, but a good discussion w Peter Schweizer



Campaigns are changing because of a tactic called “lawfare.” The Biden administration is using federal government resources, and taxpayer money to conduct the sort of mudslinging that has traditionally been done by political campaigns.

That’s the focus of the most recent episode of The Drill Down, where hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers go into the weeds to show how the Biden administration is coordinating all four of the legal prosecutions against Biden’s opponent in the November presidential election, former President Donald Trump.


Fani Willis, the Fulton County prosecutor prosecuting Trump in Georgia on election interference charges, even showed up at the White House Correspondents Dinner last week.


In April 2022, the Biden White House leaked a story to the New York Times showing Biden “confided to his inner circle” his frustration with Attorney General Merrick Garland for not throwing the book at Trump. Four months later, Trump’s Mar a Lago residence was raided by the FBI at Garland’s direction.

Schweizer says another interesting coincidence occurred in December of 2022 when the #3 person at the Department of Justice in Washington, Matthew Colangelo, announced he was leaving DOJ to take a job with the Manhattan DA’s office.

As Schweizer notes, while the Manhattan DA’s office does matter, this is a “massive step down” for the third-highest DOJ official to take. “Why make that move other than that Joe Biden wanted direct input on NY prosecution?” Schweizer asks.

Two other members of the NY prosecutor’s team, Susan Hoffinger and Joshua Steinglass, were involved in the Trump Organization’s previous court case for conspiracy, criminal tax fraud, and falsifying business records, as also reported by the Times.

Colangelo would later deliver the prosecution’s opening statement in Trump’s trial in Manhattan.

This all has “the fingerprints of the White House all over it,” Schweizer adds.

I’ve seen that several times over the past few weeks, and yes it will never make the news.

He says he didn’t have an affair.

She says she didn’t have an affair.

But what was the $130k payment for?

President Trump did an interview with TIME magazine that just became available. The main focus of the interview is what he would do in his second term. The article is starting to become the subject of a lot of commentary in the main stream media. The link to the article is below. None of it surprises me, but I am surprised that he would be that candid in the interview. For example, he says he would be willing to fire any US Attorney who refuses to prosecute anyone he thinks should be prosecuted.

^^^Donald Trump is ALWAYS candid.

To make the false, but politically damaging, story go away.

In the 7 AM Hour: Larry O’Connor and Julie Gunlock discussed:

7:05 AM - INTERVIEW - JOE DIGENOVA - legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia – discussed Trump’s legal trials and Biden’s classified documents.

Last week was a whirlwind, between Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in Manhattan and the high-stakes Supreme Court presidential immunity arguments in D.C. that could determine when and if the former president goes on trial in the nation’s capital.

What’s ahead: The focus this week will mostly be on New York, where the trial resumes Tuesday with more witness testimony. On Thursday, the judge will hold a second hearing about Trump’s alleged violations of a gag order. In the Florida classified document case, we’re still waiting for U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon to makes some big decisions.

People and companies regularly figure that coughing up some money is cheaper than dealing with the nonsense in an actual court or the court of public opinion all day long.

How many out of court settlements are similar? No admission of liability, and a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for a check. Will probably happen 1,000 times today.

I routinely settle cases on behalf of my clients for nuisance value. It's their call and often, they would rather pay something to get rid of BS cases and save lit costs and the time and uncertainty of litigation.

What's nuisance value? Highly correlates with potential risk and since my job is to mitigate risk and bring certainty, the amount varies on a case by case basis.

I give clients their legal options but often things are resolved for business reasons, having little to do with the merits.

Maybe a Jack Smith or Robert Mueller type can investigate and reveal the details of the $17 MILLION DOLLARS that the congress-critters thieved from the U.S. Taxpayers to silence those that they sexually abused in some manner.

Link to a 2017 article on CNN -

Congress paid out $17 million in settlements. Here’s why we know so little about that money.

This has really very little to do with an affair, or even if it actually ever happened. I know it's been covered more than a few times, but...

What the press keeps calling "hush money" was/is actually an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), which is actually a legal term and document. Which was apparently violated somewhere along the line.

Cohen paid Stormy $130k of his own money, he actually took out a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to pay her.
Cohen was reimbursed by billing Trump for "legal fees", and Bragg says that it was a campaign expense.

I posted this back on page 912 of this thread:

hush money

Sooo... ^^^that^^^ whole narrative needs to go away.
Everyone, and it does seem like everyone, keeps letting that phrase slide.

They made a bilateral funded non-disclosure agreement (NDA), both parties agreed to it, she violated it.

This case really pivots around where the money came from to fund the "agreement". If I understand this correctly, he used personal money to "fund the NDA"/"pay her off". Whatever.
Bragg "alleges" it was a campaign function and he should have used campaign funds to pay for it. BUT, if he would have, then the FEC(Federal Election Commission) would have charged him with campaign fraud for that. F these people...

Always with the masks. They're all a bunch of idiots and cowards hiding behind those stupid things.

Wow, I bet it was really tough for the 'people who have been killed multiple times'!

Dayum. That's even worse than I expected.

Well, it might be time to get out the wooden stakes and silver bullets if they keep coming back. Just saying.
