From Dan Rather. And I'm hoping the DOJ gets wind of this story ...

[aggiesal]

Trump attorneys sent @propublica a cease and desist order demanding this article not be published, so you should definitely read it, ASAP.

[blm]

1. Spread it on FB and other sites, too.

[aggiesal]

13. Feel free. I don't use Facebook. And since Dan Rather posted this on ...

Twitter (currently knonwn as X), I'm hoping Twitter is all over this.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. I have little to no faith in Garland. Perhaps some of the other attorney generals will do something, but Garland?

He's been a profound disappointment to me, and this is especially troubling to me, being that he was such a good former candidate for the Supreme Court at one time.

I don't know...perhaps he still has a mania for being an instructor at college or such, some people aren't really made for the rough and tumble of the 'Corporate World/real world', thus, are better in an educational background/school as an instructor. I did that for some years, as an instructor in IT, developing courses, instructor-led classes, etc., but I also worked in the 'real world' where you had to toe the production line immediately, restoring or redo critical software/code/hardware, it's a totally different world.

[IbogaProject]

4. Wasn't he in the Federalist Society?

Not sure what his issue is.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. I don't know, but I looked at his credentials and just Wow. He's got a lot of stuff under his belt.

[rubbersole]

9. He was recommended for the SC by Orrin Hatch...

...to Obama as a 'consensus' candidate. Orrin fucking Hatch. Garland isn't slimy like Bill Barr, but he seems ineffective to a fault. Not Biden's best appointment.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. No, he isn't.

[summer_in_TX]

33. Garland is not a member of the Federalist Society.

He was hired to provide continuing education workshops for their members on more than one occasion.

[Skittles]

23. be careful

the apologists love lecturing why he just cannot do all things at all times

[Traurigkeit]

25. Garland is not a prosecutor as Ms. Letitia James is or Ms. Fani Taifa Willis is. That is the type of person

the next US DoJ AG needs to be.

[magicarpet]

28. Make Michael Cohen US AG he will set trDUMP on the straight and narrow pertaining to law and order issues.

No reservations or pussy footing around when it comes to the pussy grabber & habitual rapist (trDUMP) or the MAGA goon crowd in the US House, the U S Senate, or the violent MAGA minions from the streets of red AmeriKKKa.

Round up these insurrectionists letting them know treason is so Benedict Arnold and worthy of a firing squad. Choose your poison assholes - conduct yourselves accordingly.

[uponit7771]

42. I have faith in Garland to prosecute dems or black people for shit the DOJ would NEVER EVER go after people for

Marylin Mosby and Biden prosecutions are disgusting

[wiggs]

3. Sounds familiar. Mueller found there was probable obstruction of the Russia investigation due to

uncooperative witnesses. Wonder if payments were ever looked into in that instance?

Very mob-like organization.

Why can't EVERY discussion of TSF, including comparison's with the Hunter trial, start with the DECADES of lying, cheating, grifting, obstruction, payoffs, legal troubles and, you know...context?

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. because he's a "first-time offender"

[Traurigkeit]

26. The Felon's history says that is not true.

[czarjak]

7. Please forgive my ignorance, but will you translate TSF for me?

[rainin]

11. The sick f**k

[czarjak]

12. I knew that.

[magicarpet]

29. Behind closed door,... Biden bestowed that abreviated moniker upon trDUMP.

It somehow leaked out to the public spheres.

Smirk/Giggle/Burp... & fart.

[WhiteTara]

14. that sick f*uck

[spanone]

6. He's a goddamn cheat in everything he does.

Witness tampering anyone???

[wolfie001]

10. Am I shocked? Hell no!

But if spineless Garland went after Dump on this, then I would be.

[hadEnuf]

15. It's open criminality.

Trump does it and spits in our faces.

How long is this going to be tolerated? Or is the rule of law gone and we are just another corrupt nation?

[magicarpet]

30. Chiquita Bananas anyone ?.......

.... could someone kindly point me in the proper direction of that specific Republic ? (Banana - see post # 15.)

Is that what was meant ?

[Hekate]

17. Kick his ass all over the town -- and Rec this, too

[Raven123]

18. Good luck with that cease and desist letter

I read the article. Just pointing out a pattern of payments to TFG’s ring. Draw whatever conclusions you want.

[ffr]

19. What an "insiders" swamp TSF has surrounded himself with. Who's worth $53,500/mo?

One after the other, they're all making bank and they're either related to one another or related to TSF crimes.

I can only imagine how much money Aileen Cannon and her relatives are raking in for her cooperation in helping TSF out. It must be mega millions!

Lock them all up!

[aggiesal]

22. I believe it's $53,500/yr. n/t

[ffr]

32. "One campaign aide had his average MONTHLY pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500.

https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-criminal-cases-witnesses-financial-benefits

[aggiesal]

35. Good catch, I misread it. Thanks n/t

[Collimator]

20. These lines stood out to me:

"Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement that 'the 2024 Trump campaign is the most well-run and professional operation in political history. Any false assertion that we’re engaging in any type of behavior that may be regarded as tampering is absurd and completely fake.'"

Trump and his various mouthpieces can never make a reasonable and confident claim such as, "We have a great team" or "These are some of the best and brightest." No, in every single situation they have to make boastful declarations of being the Absolute, Very Bestest of All Time. This is how you know that they're competent at their best, mediocre at their baseline and likely to crash and burn when subjected to any real stress test.

As awful and scary as things are in this moment of American history, I try to take comfort in remembering that Trump is ultimately a failure in all things. . . Which is why he always insists that he is the best, the highest and the greatest in everything. The guy is the saddest, smallest person to walk this earth. Those are his proper superlatives.

[ThoughtCriminal]

21. Empty warnings from Trump Brand Lawyers

As always, they send threats that they hope will intimidate.

But they know that they will have to drop it in order to avoid discovery.

[Skittles]

24. of course they already KNOW about this

what he should wish for is the DOJ to ACT on it

[magicarpet]

27. This all sounds so Putin-esque,..

trump didn't know shit about nothing. The poor victim simply crash threw the plate glass and fell out of a ten story window to the ground because he sneezed and lost his balance. ( as if.)

Shit happens - don't blame me. I didn't push him out the window - or give him a raise or a tamper with a witness by giving them a golden parachute for that matter - to elicited his loyalty, co-operation, and/or silence.

Give me a break (trDUMP says) - I only need ....... blah blah blah blah - inorder to do blah blah blah...... and win the election , excuse me I mean exoneration.

Fuck you trDUMP - you are a known prevaricator, fabricator, and liar. Take a hike to nowhere - you loser.

[Bluethroughu]

31. DOJ...PAYING WITNESSES IS LEGAL?

Asking for a criminal ex-prez.

[maspaha]

34. I just donated to Propublica

More Propublica please!

And less NYT, Washington Post, yada yada

[dalton99a]

36. Spread it far and wide

[republianmushroom]

37. Sure seems like witness tampering. IMO

[aggiesal]

38. And those witnesses that accepted all that graft, are going to be in trouble. n/t

[republianmushroom]

39. Maybe, should be IMO, but, not to sure with our today justice system.

[aggiesal]

40. But I thought the DOJ was weaponized n/t

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

41. kick
