LetMyPeopleVote's Journal''Keep the Faith"-Joe Biden
I was.a delegate to the 2016 National Convention. I brought back a ton of floor signs used during the speeches. I attended a fundraiser with Joe Biden early on in the primary process and brought three floor speech signs used during Joe’s speech. Joe signed all three and I just noticed that one sign was inscribed “Keep the Faith”.-Joe Biden. I just heard Joe tell us to “keep the faith”
Curt Schilling Arrested - Allegedly Involved In Crowdfunding Fraud

Steve Bannon, along with Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea have each already been arrested and charged this morning. All 4 men are facing up to 20 years in prison for their involvement in the “Build The Wall” campaign. A campaign that allegedly made fraudulent promises to Trump supporters and funneled in millions of dollars. Today’s Five is now receiving reports that ex-Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has also been arrested and is in custody. Although charges have not been announced as of yet, the arrest comes after alleged involvement with Steve Bannon.
You can see the whole “team” here.
“According to the indictment, which you can read here, the four men allegedly used fake invoices and sham “vendor” arrangements, among other schemes, to ensure, “as Kolfage noted in a text message to Badolato, that his pay arrangement remained ‘confidential’ and kept on a ‘need to know’ basis.” While Kolfage publicly promised he would “not take a penny in salary or compensation,” he is accused of covertly taking more than $350,000 for his personal use. Bannon is accused of receiving over $1 million, “at least some of which Bannon used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon’s personal expenses.” – Source

Prosecutors looking to reinstate indictment against Paul Manafort for mortgage fraud
A trump pardon will not help Manafort

Manafort had been charged in New York for allegedly conducting a yearlong residential mortgage fraud scheme before the case was dismissed in December due to its similarity to earlier federal charges.
The Manhattan DA's office argued, according to court filings, that the state's double jeopardy law contains an exception that would allow the case to proceed.
"[The statute] permits a successive prosecution where the offenses in the second prosecution contain different elements and the defining statutes were designed to prevent very different kinds of harm or evil than the offenses in the first prosecution," the court document states.
TRUMP COMES UP EMPTY WHEN PRESSED FOR EVIDENCE OF ELECTION FRAUD IN COURT
In both the the Texas voter id and the Kobach proof of citizenship needed to register to vote the cases, the GOP could provide no evidence of voter fraud in the real world. In the Penn , trump is suing to block vote by mail and the court asked for proof of voter fraud. Guess what happen

The campaign is suing Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and each of the state’s county election boards to prevent election administrators from providing secure drop boxes for mail-in ballot returns. These drop boxes allow voters to return their mail-in ballots by hand, without sending them through the postal system and risking delays. The Trump campaign alleges that the practice “provides fraudsters an easy opportunity to engage in ballot harvesting, manipulate or destroy ballots, manufacture duplicitous votes, and sow chaos.”
In a motion last week, Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future and the Sierra Club called on the Trump campaign to provide evidence of the existence of voter fraud, arguing that the campaign’s lawsuit was “replete with salacious allegations and dire warnings” about Pennsylvania’s elections and that they “must either be compelled to provide discovery concerning their fraud-based allegations or be precluded from pursuing these claims going forward.” Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan granted the motion, ordering the campaign to “produce such evidence in their possession, and if they have none, state as much.”
The response provided by the Trump campaign to the opposing counsel, which was shared with The Intercept and Type Investigations, contains a few scant examples of election fraud — but none of the instances in the 524-page discovery document involved mail-in ballots.
“Not only did the campaign fail to provide evidence that voter fraud was a widespread problem in Pennsylvania, they failed to provide any evidence that any misconduct occurred in the primary election or that so-called voter fraud is any sort of regular problem in Pennsylvania,” said Suzanne Almeida, interim director of Common Cause PA, one of the parties in the lawsuit. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

8/20 Mike Luckovich: Can't let go
https://twitter.com/mluckovichajc/status/1296214366178680833Could 2016 be the last real in person convention
I was a Clinton delegate to the 2016 convention in Philadelphia There is a tradition in my area that trips to the convention to a national convention are an once in a lifetime experience and that if you have been to a convention in the past, you do not run again and let others have a chance.
I really like this format of this convention and the logistics of doing a live in person convention are daunting. If this convention was a live event, the Texas and California delegations would have been housed at hotels at O'hare airport and Texas and California delegates would have been on buses 4+ hours each day. The roll call in 2016 took a very long time and was boring to me sitting in my delegation. I loved last night's roll call and think that this format should be the future.
Live in person conventions may be a dinosaur that deserves to be extinct. It was expensive to attend a live convention and I can see the party deciding to cut back and doing virtual conventions in the future.
