  1. Looking in the rear view mirror.

    Seeing the days when I thought Garland's DOJ was #RollingUp prosecutions of Trump and other senior insurrectionists disappearing into the haze.

    Back then I didn't know that Obama had sat on the Epstein Files, leaving voters in the dark about Trump's dealings with Jeffrey Epstein & child abuse for 2016.

    Here's a niche song from those days.

    He was arrested because BAM runs the town of American Fork. The police and government are corrupt.

    BAM did not want to accept court papers from Oregon court. They directed the cops to hsssle Ben and run him out of town. The cops complied.

    BAM thinks they can escape. They are wrong. This story has legs. Worldwide coverage now.

    The saying is, it's never RICO.

    But, it sure looks like it really is RICO.

    This story is just starting.

  24. A separate #lawsuit by #ElonMusk against #SamAltman and #OpenAI alleging #RICO (among many other claims related to Musk's hurt feelings that a non-profit would spin-off or become a for-profit entity) is getting closer to trial.

    Musk v. Altman (Northern District of California, 24-cv-04722)

    This parallels a separate Musk-Altman lawsuit in state court. (Docs 26, 104)
    The initial complaint was amended, adding Microsoft and some individuals as defendants and at least one new charge. (Doc 32) Altman countersues for unfair business practices and getting in the way of captialism. (Doc 147, 229) Musk cleans up the complaint, removing charges and parties, keeping revised RICO charges. (Doc 170)
    Elon wants a preliminary injunction to prevent OpenAI becoming a for-profit corporation. (Doc 46) Judge says no. (Doc 121)
    The Delaware Attorney General points out that OpenAI's reorganization is under their state law, and is already under review. (Doc 77) Musk opposes. (Doc 81) OpenAI and Microsoft call Musk out for whining. (Docs 85, 86)
    OpenAI objects to Musk trying to add new evidence in a REPLY brief. (Doc 83)
    Biden's FTC points out nuances of the law regarding corporate boards. (Doc 87) OpenAI points out they build AIs, not time machines. (Doc 96)
    The LA fires cause a delay. (Docs 92, 93).
    The California Attorney General asserts that they are immune to lawsuit. (Doc 101)
    The judge throws out some charges and defendants. (Docs 144, 146, 163)

    OpenAI and Microsoft argue for dismissals (Docs 173, 174, 175, 177)

    Are you tired yet? The Judge is. (Doc 222)
    But Discovery continues....
    Motions in limine begin at 402.

    Trial to begin 2026-04-27 (Docs 386, 387)

  27. Vladimir Putin has been attempting to influence Donald Trump to seize both Venezuela and Greenland since at least 2017.

    The effort, rooted in Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, hinged on American embrace of the Monroe Doctrine,
    the 1823 policy framework that focused American influence within the Western Hemisphere.

    Putin's reasoning, according to witnesses familiar with the proposals,
    is simple:
    if Trump would agree to disengage in Ukraine,
    Putin would agree to give Trump control in Venezuela.

    Each country is in the other's “backyard,” the story went,
    so if Trump got relief in his backyard,
    Putin could expect reciprocation in his.

    Rather than approach Trump outright with an explicit quid-pro-quo arrangement,
    Putin arranged a series of dangles and provocations that he hoped might prompt Trump to follow Putin's plan.

    ♦️The Origins of Trump's Greenland Obsession

    Ron #Lauder,
    the cosmetics heir and confidant to both Trump and Putin, initially approached Trump with the idea to buy Greenland in 2017.

    According to the 2022 book "The Divider" by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, Trump took it to his National Security Adviser,
    John #Bolton,
    saying,
    “A friend of mine,
    a really, really experienced businessman,
    thinks we can get Greenland.”

    Lauder even volunteered to serve as a “back channel” to the Danish government and help drive the negotiations.

    Bolton did not initially reject the idea, reasoning that an expanded relationship with Greenland might serve American interests.

    But he also knew the notion of buying Greenland was next to impossible;

    Truman had tried to do so and failed in 1946,
    and the Danes were still uninterested.

    Bolton also rejected the idea of Lauder as emissary.

    By 2018, knowing Trump would likely not drop the idea,
    Bolton instructed his aide Fiona #Hill to at least explore the idea.

    Hill and Michael #Ellis, a National Security Council lawyer,
    met secretly with the ambassador to Denmark to develop ideas that might be workable,
    with the knowledge that a purchase was impossible.

    They brainstormed various alternatives,
    but Bolton instructed them to stop in favor of more important work.

    But Trump didn't let it drop, and also became fixated on
    #Puerto #Rico.

    He threatened to shift hurricane relief funds from the island commonwealth towards acquiring Greenland,
    going so far as to even propose a trade of Puerto Rico for Greenland
    — a bargain the Danes would surely find bizarre.
