Trump supporters DOX Georgia grand jury members
A pro-Trump website, undisclosed for safety reasons, has reportedly doxxed members of the Georgia grand jury that played a role in the ongoing investigations against former President Donald Trump. These individuals, who participated in their civic duty as part of the grand jury, have had their personal information exposed online. While authorities like the Fulton County Sheriff's Department, the FBI, and the Fulton County District Attorney's office have not commented on the incident, concerns are high over the safety of those involved in the legal proceedings. The risks that prosecutors, judges, and grand jurors face due to their involvement in investigating alleged criminal activity are substantial. Instances of threats, harassment, and doxxing have become common, with the potential for escalated actions hanging in the air. It's a reminder of the dangers inherent in high-profile legal cases and highlights the broader issue of right-wing extremism in the United States. But regardless of political affiliation, such actions are unacceptable and undermine the integrity of the legal process.
Trump allies scramble to derail Georgia indictments
In response to the legal challenges faced by Donald Trump and his associates over the 2020 election, Trump's allies, including his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, are reportedly seeking ways to address the situation. Rolling Stone reports that Trump's lawyers are considering appealing to the US Supreme Court to resolve the matter. Meanwhile, Meadows, one of the indicted coconspirators, has initiated a significant legal move by requesting the relocation of his indictment from a state to a federal court. This attempt is based on a post-Civil War statute allowing cases involving federal officials' actions to be transferred. However, legal experts argue that the specific nature of Meadows' alleged interference in Georgia's election processes might not align with the criteria for transferring to federal court. Moving the case could limit transparency due to camera prohibitions, but might offer a more favorable jurisdiction for him. While Meadows seeks an escape route, the rest of Trump's inner circle also faces the challenge of untangling themselves from legal trouble.

Georgia Governor trashes Trump’s criminal defense strategy
In response to Donald Trump's announcement of an impending report detailing alleged voter fraud in the 2020 Georgia presidential election, Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has categorically dismissed the claims and questioned the approach as a legal defense strategy. Kemp, who has been in office for nearly three years, unequivocally denies any electoral wrongdoing, asserting that no individual or group has come forward under oath with credible evidence of fraud in a court of law. He reiterates the state's commitment to secure, accessible, and fair elections, vowing that this will remain the case throughout his tenure. Amid Trump's continued assertions, Kemp emphasizes the importance of shifting focus to the future of the country, particularly the upcoming 2024 elections. Kemp has been one of the few Republican voices willing to dispute Trump’s bogus voter fraud claims and he’s sticking to it now that they have gotten Trump in criminal trouble.
From yesterday’s show:
Ron DeSantis’ friends aren’t surprised that he's campaign failing
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing significant hurdles in his presidential campaign, with reports suggesting that even fellow Republicans are skeptical of his candidacy. Interviews conducted by The Washington Post with individuals closely associated with DeSantis reveal concerns about his non-personable demeanor with voters. He's described as a governor who prefers confrontation over collaboration and negotiation. Critics point to his socially awkward interactions and lack of personal connection as major obstacles in appealing to voters, which have been clear from witnessing him on the campaign trail. Despite doing well early on, DeSantis has slipped in polls, now trailing Donald Trump by a significant margin. Conservative strategist Sarah Longwell noted a sharp drop in DeSantis's popularity in Republican focus groups, with his name rarely getting mentioned as someone conservatives are interested in. Beyond personality, DeSantis faces policy challenges, including Florida's worsening economy, environmental issues, and legislative setbacks. This combination of factors raises questions about DeSantis's ability to gain widespread support beyond his home state of Florida, putting his presidential aspirations in question.

For the Republicans out there who are reading this (and we know that you watch CNN), you griped that the other night on Rachel Maddow, she and Hillary were laughing at Trump’s problems. Now you know what it feels like to watch Trump onstage with his idiotic grin, clapping at the audience when they yell “Lock her up! Lock her up!” We find it to be hilarious. He is desperate as he watches the walls closing in, his friends all turning against him, and his bank accounts drying up. He will (hopefully) die before he spends one day in prison, ever the martyr.
