BillsFanNC Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 The White House counsel’s office met with a top aide to Special Counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against former President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents — raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden’s likely opponent in 2024 Jay Bratt, who joined the special counsel team in November 2022, shortly after it was formed, took a meeting in the White House on March 31, 2023, with Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, White House visitor logs show. Another longtime Department of Justice official, Matthew Colangelo — freshly hired in December 2022 into the office of Manhattan’s far-left District Attorney Alvin Bragg — also played a critical role in Trump’s indictment in New York City for alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. 1 1

B-Man Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 The double standard as to what constitutes election interference or politically-motivated prosecutions has never been more glaring. While Democrats will never admit it, anyone with normal cognitive function understands that the indictments against Donald Trump are all politically motivated, and there certainly appears to be coordination between the prosecutors. The indictments started coming well into Trump's third presidential campaign, and prosecutors are asking that Trump stand trial throughout the election season. On the flip side of the coin, U.S. Attorney David Weiss refused to allow any investigation into a presidential candidate's son within months of any election dates, and Hunter Biden's attorneys were successful in getting the sweetest of all plea deals for him by simply saying that the prosecution looked to be political. Now we're learning that the interference is reaching a much higher level. The New York Post is reporting that one of the lead prosecutors in the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith held meetings in the White House, with the White House Counsel's office, just weeks before Smith's first indictment of Trump was announced. The FBI declined to comment, and the Special Counsel's spokesman said Bratt was there for a "case-related interview." Bratt isn't just some garden-variety part of this saga, either. Prior to joining Smith's team, Bratt was chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section at the DOJ and in that capacity, he "played a central role in the investigation into Trump’s handling of classified national-security material" at his home in Florida. Bratt was one of the participants in a June 2022 Mar-a-Lago visit, where he "inspected storage facilities at the property and personally interacted with Trump." According to a Washington Post exclusive, Bratt was the force behind the unannounced FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, bullying FBI officials in Washington and angrily dismissing their concerns that going about it Bratt's way could lead to problems in any future prosecution. Those FBI officials wanted to instead go through Trump's attorneys to have a consensual search performed and eventually Bratt went over their heads to get his way. Bratt was also one of the DOJ officials who argued against unsealing the affidavit used to justify the issuance of a search warrant for Trump's home. Most importantly, Bratt is the person accused of malfeasance, regarding his interactions with Trump valet Walt Nauta's attorney, Stanley Woodward. Around November 2022 Bratt basically told Woodward, "We believe your guy gave conflicting statements, and he could be charged with false statements, but he could always cooperate and testify against Trump," then threatened that Woodward's application for a federal judgeship would be doomed if Woodward couldn't get Nauta to flip. https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2023/08/27/new-senior-deputy-to-jack-smith-met-with-white-house-counsels-office-just-weeks-before-trump-indictment-n2163089

BillsFanNC Posted August 27, 2023 Author Posted August 27, 2023 We will just bring charges based on novel legal theories against a former POTUS in completely leftist districts with no hope of getting an impartial jury.... And if you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about! Commies. Too funny. 2

Do you think a billionaire who can afford the best lawyers in the world can't appeal any court decision up to the Supreme Court ? Trump has super pacs and supporters sending him millions unlike a average person is that fair to you ? 1

Of course it's the same system for everyone unless you want to live in Russia or China. In the US if you think a verdict is wrong you can appeal to a higher court right up to a very conservative Supreme Court. That is more then fair for Trump whose supporters are paying his legal bills.

Tommy Callahan Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 imagine your local DA charged the opposition party member running for mayor. And then finding out the DA met with the current mayor weeks prior. 4 hours ago, ALF said: Of course it's the same system for everyone unless you want to live in Russia or China.

By conservative you mean adhering to the law vs creating it? even Ruth knew RvW was on very shaky standing. 1
