Referring Blanche to the bar just before his confirmation hearing makes me smile



BREAKING

A federal judge NULLIFIES the purported “settlement” behind Trump’s $1.776B slush fund, finding there was never a “case or controversy” — and referring his attorney for possible professional discipline.

The media landscape is changing quickly. The demographic that still watched "the evening news" of the teevee set is literally dying off. Younger people don't trust the legacy media and don't consume their information through those channels. It is people like Aaron Marnas, Thom Hartmann, TYT, Meidas, many Substack authors, podcasters, and the remaining late night comedians who collectively are delivering the truth.

We should not be losing sleep over CNN and CBS, but instead should be looking for ways to promote the best alternate channels.

About time these nonsensical and unlawful attempts to grift in broad daylight were winged into the judicial trashcan. Along with the lawyers who are willing to sell their souls and reputations for the Mob Boss squatting in the White House.

Call them out, trash their ongoing attempts to dismantle the rule of law and expose them for what they are: thieves and turncoats posing as legitimate professionals and public servants.

Judge Williams has done just that. Good one on her!

The president probably thought his $10 billion case against the IRS was over. That was before a federal court found his lawyers acted in “bad faith.”

A federal judge set out to investigate “grievous allegations” in the Trump-IRS case.

She apparently did not like what she discovered, concluding that Trump and his lawyers acted “in bad faith” and filed a civil suit “for an improper purpose.”

By now, Donald Trump has probably grown accustomed to legal setbacks in court, though his case against the IRS has started to backfire in ways the president didn’t see coming. The Associated Press reported:

A federal judge said Monday that President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns was filed for an “improper purpose” as she referred attorneys for disciplinary actions.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams amounts to a stinging rebuke of the Republican president’s lawsuit, characterizing it as an exercise in self-dealing in which he sued an entity that is effectively under his control.


.....More than a month later, she apparently did not like what she discovered, concluding that Trump and his lawyers acted “in bad faith” and filed a civil suit “for an improper purpose.”

“The nature of the suit itself and the conduct of the Parties and counsel from its filing make plain that this was an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the law,” Williams wrote.

The judge also prohibited the parties from even referring to it as a “settlement.”

Just as notably, as CNBC reported, Williams “referred Trump’s lawyer in the lawsuit, Alejandro Brito, to the Florida bar for consideration on whether Brito should be disciplined in light of the findings in the new order.” The judge also “ordered that a copy of her ruling be mailed to the State Bar of New York, of which Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is a member, as well as to the District of Columbia Bar, of which Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward is a member.”

I am looking forward to Blanche's confirmation hearing. One of the questions may be to find out if a disbarred attorney can be Attorney General
