Donald Trump WON'T STOP confessing to crimes on national television
Donald Trump can’t stop himself from openly admitting to various crimes in media interviews. In these exchanges, Trump manages to repeatedly admit his involvement in actions that align with the charges against him. For example, he admitted to directing activities related to the 2020 election and asserted his right to access presidential records, even though this doesn't serve as a legal defense. He also insisted that the decisions were his alone, which undermines his lawyers’ argument that he was merely following the advice of counsel. In another interview with Megyn Kelly, Trump expressed his belief that he could unilaterally declassify documents, contradicting established legal declassification procedures. Legal experts anticipate that his public confessions won't fare well in court, where the law takes precedence over personal persuasion and political interests. While Trump's supporters may downplay these admissions, they carry significant weight within the justice system. Ultimately, his public statements may come back to haunt him when facing a jury and a judge who interpret the law based on facts, not political rhetoric.
WOW: Giuliani gets DISASTROUS news from his own lawyer!
Rudy Giuliani, already entangled in a legal quagmire due to criminal indictments and the looming threat of losing his law license, now finds himself ensnared in a dire financial crisis as his very own attorney, Robert Costello, has initiated a lawsuit seeking unpaid legal fees exceeding a staggering $1.3 million. Giuliani's mounting financial woes, totaling nearly $3 million owed to various law firms, largely stem from his post-2020 election endeavors on behalf of Donald Trump. Despite fervently requesting financial assistance from Trump, who once pledged to pay him a generous $20,000 daily rate for his efforts to overturn the election results, Trump has not paid him. This situation has cast a spotlight on the intricate loyalty and accountability dynamics within the MAGA movement. Curiously, amid the self-inflicted nature of Giuliani's predicament, some on the right have expressed sympathy for his plight, with conservative media outlet Newsmax taking the extraordinary step of promoting the “Rudy Giuliani Legal Defense Fund” to rally financial support.
From yesterday’s show:
Russell Brand accused of r*pe, sexual assault of minor, multiple victims
Russell Brand finds himself entangled in a web of grave allegations, including accusations of rape, sexual assault involving a minor, and emotional abuse, spanning a period from 2006 to 2013. The weight of these allegations is compounded by the fact that they involve multiple purported victims, some of whom have chosen to remain anonymous. In a video response, Russell Brand vehemently denied any involvement in criminal activities, asserting that all his past relationships were consensual. Adding to the complexity of the situation, public figures such as Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Elon Musk have all rushed to his defense, further fueling the debate over the authenticity of the accusations and Brand's defense. In the midst of this controversy, it is essential to underscore the need to separate the court of public opinion from the legal process, while at the same time recognizing the gravity and seriousness of the allegations that have been raised by these women.
From yesterday’s show:
Vivek Ramaswamy says people find him annoying because he's doing so well
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently appeared on Fox News Sunday and faced questions about whether voters perceive him as too annoying to secure the GOP nomination. During the interview with Shannon Bream, Ramaswamy deflected the issue by citing his relative youth and drawing comparisons to historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson. He also asserted that his strong debate performance has led to concerns among other candidates and establishment figures. However, it's essential to note that Ramaswamy's rise in popularity is seen as modest compared to prominent figures like Donald Trump. For context, while Ramaswamy has gone from 1% to 6% or 7% in the polls, he’s still well behind Trump who enjoys 56% support. For Ramawamy however, the candidacy seems less about making a good-faith effort to win the race and more like an attempt to raise his influence and name recognition, while staying in the good graces of Trump supporters.
