  2. #Trump Demands #DOJ Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases & #prosecutions. “Senior department officials who were #defense #lawyers for #president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential #ethical conflicts.” nytimes.com/2025/10/21/us/poli #maga #legal #lawfirms #American #taxpayers will pay this for #blackmail #corruption #whitecollarcrime as trump owns #DOJ it no longer works for the people. #lawfirms #settlements #politics #democracy 1/

  3. Has anyone heard of any OUTCOME from the investigations into this woman's businesses?

    or does being in the #House of #Lords exempt you from #investigations and #prosecutions?...

  4. LA Times - US Attorney Bill Essayli has been no-billed by #grandjuries in some attempted #prosecutions of #ICE #protestors: Prosecutors struggled 2 get several protest-related cases past #grandjuries which need only 2 find probable cause that crime has been committed in order 2 move forward. much lower bar than “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard required for criminal conviction. #Immigration #judge fired by #Trump under pressure 2 dismiss cases 2 facilitate immediate #detention of #immigrants

  5. Corporations need to be held accountable for murdering, maiming, and sickening people through use of their absolutely garbage AI searches and prompts. SCOTUS decided corporations are people. It is time for some corporations to face the death penalty, and for their executives to face life imprisonment or, in a Republican administration, the death penalty, for abusing the public trust as they pocket billions of dollars by doing so. This isn't funny. It isn't a game.

  6. Thankless yet critical & historic work that should matter but he will be a target - may be safe #JackSmith, Who Led Federal #Prosecutions of #Trump, Resigns. Smith, the special counsel who brought two unsuccessful cases against President-elect Trump, had previously signaled that he would step down.

  7. In hindsight, 2016 was the beginning of the beginning --- 2024 is the end of that beginning and the start of something much, much worse.

    It began as a tear in the information space,
    a dawning realisation that the world as we knew it
    – stable, fixed by facts, balustraded by evidence
    – was now a rip in the fabric of reality.

    ⚠️And the turbulence that Trump is about to unleash
    – alongside pain and cruelty and hardship
    – is possible because 💥that’s where we already live:
    in information chaos.

    We’ve spent eight years learning a new lexicon: “misinformation”, “disinformation”, “microtargeting”.

    We’ve learned about information warfare.

    As journalists, we, like FBI investigators, used evidence to show how
    social media was a vulnerable “threat surface”
    that bad actors such as Cambridge Analytica and the Kremlin could exploit.

    PhDs have been written on the weaponisation of social media.

    But none of this helps us now.

    🔥There’s already a judiciary subcommittee on the “weaponisation of the federal government” in Congress to investigate the “censorship industrial complex”
    – the idea that big tech is “censoring” Republican voices.

    🆘 For the past 18 months, it’s been subpoenaing academics.

    Last week, Elon Musk tweeted that the next stage would be “#prosecutions”.

    A friend of mine,
    an Ivy League professor on the list,
    texts to say the day will shortly come
    “where I will have to decide whether to stay or go”.

  8. #Pregnancy-loss cases represented just a fraction of the prosecutions tallied by #PregnancyJustice over 12 months. In total, Bach & her team found ≥210 cases in which authorities initiated #charges against #pregnant people for #crimes related to pregnancy or #birth. That’s a record number of pregnancy-related #prosecutions in 1 year—&, the researchers say, it’s almost certainly an undercount.

  9. Short-circuiting his #prosecutions or upending his #convictions would be the maddening capstone to a life of evading #responsibility for wrongdoing.

    A sitting president can’t be prosecuted, under long-standing #DOJ policy, so the findings by special counsel Robert S. #Mueller III that #Trump might have committed 10 acts of #obstruction of #justice went nowhere.

    #HellNo #criminal #law #WeAreNotGoingBack

  10. #MisterPhil has beclowned himself again. Is it possible that #PresidentBiden could interfere with state-level #prosecutions of #DonaldTrump? Sure. The laws of physics don't preclude that. But doing so would be a wildly inappropriate, and disgraceful act. It's not the #President's job to meddle in independent, #criminal prosecutions, and take extraordinary action to protect a criminal, former president from the consequences of his unlawful behavior.

  13. CW: Trump worries about legal cases #USPol

    Column: The law is on Trump’s tail, and he sounds pretty worried latimes.com/politics/story/202 "There’s a baroque theory that #Trump welcomes criminal #prosecutions because every battle makes him a hero in the eyes of his followers. But he didn’t sound heroic last week. He sounded frightened and whiny." #martyr
