Following the #Jan6 attack, there was a wave of #civil cases & #criminal prosecutions that splintered the [domestic terrorist] orgs & sent many members to prison before sweeping #clemency from #Trump. Among them were group leaders named alongside >30 others in the city’s suit, including #ProudBoys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio & #OathKeepers founder Stewart Rhodes, both of whom juries #convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy for their part in trying to block the peaceful transition of power.

JFC This is a clown show, an evil clown show.

Several prominent *conservative* *influencers* [#ConspiracyTheorists & #FearMongers] emerged from the WH on Thurs saying they’d met w US AG #PamBondi & #FBI dir #KashPatel & were given documents tied to the investigation of #convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein, a case that has become a fixation among #RightWing broadcasters & conspiracy theorists.

Newly confirmed #Trump #AttorneyGeneral #PamBondi is expected to order a review of the cases brought against #Trump, including those undertaken by prosecutors in #NewYork who successfully #convicted him in court.

Sworn in at the White House on Wednesday, Bondi intends to issue a series of memos aimed at curbing the so-called weaponization of the #DOJ….

She will order the review of the #criminal & #civil cases against Trump….

The program authorizes #ICE to designate certain state & local officers to question & arrest people they *suspect* of violating federal #immigration laws during their regular patrols.

…In #Arizona’s #MaricopaCounty, Sheriff #JoeArpaio was #convicted in 2017 of #criminal contempt of court for ignoring a federal judge’s order to stop detaining residents because he suspected them of being in the US illegally. #Trump gave Arpaio a #pardon during his first term.

oh it's far worse than just a #deportation scheme

#NayibBukele (President of #ElSalvador):

"We have offered the #UnitedStates of #America #USA the opportunity to outsource part of its #prison system.

We are willing to take in only #convicted #criminals (including convicted #US #citizens) into our mega-prison (#CECOT) in exchange for a fee.

The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable."

The 8 people in the #Michigan case who received #Trump #pardons are Calvin & Eva Zastrow, Chester Ghallagher, Heather Idoni, Caroline Davis, Joel Curry, Justin Phillips & Eva Edl.

A federal jury #convicted 7 of the defendants in Aug in connection w/their blockade of an #AbortionClinic in Sterling Heights on Aug 27, 2020.

An 8th defendant, Davis, took a plea deal & was sentenced to a year of probation in Sept.

#Trump granted #pardons Thursday to 23 people who were #convicted of blocking access to #reproductive #health #clinics, fulfilling another campaign promise to reward political supporters who have run afoul of the #law. Trump announced the clemency grants in Oval Office signing ceremony on the eve of the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, days after pardoning more than 1,500 people accused of participating in the #Jan6, 202 #riot at the #USCapitol. #insurrection #reproductivehealth #maga

On Jan 20, 2025, the #convicted #felon who takes the presidential oath of office to “preserve, protect, & defend the Constitution of the United States” will be a demagogic autocrat-wannabe who violated that oath during his first presidential term.

#DOJ delivered 137 pg report Vol. 1 representing 1/2 of #JackSmith overall final report w Vol 2 about Trump’s other federal case accusing him of mishandling #classifieddocuments still confidential to #Congress. Smith laid the attack on the Capitol squarely @ Trump’s feet saying #Trump would have been #convicted but for Justice Department’s #policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. nytimes.com/2025/01/14/us/poli #guilty #insurrection #corruption #democracy #politics #presidency #power #oligarchy

The New York Times · Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election CaseBy Alan Feuer

#Trump has signaled that he plans to mount a full-scale #legal offensive to stave off his #criminal sentencing in NY, seeking a last-minute reprieve before becoming the first president who is a #convicted #felon.

With the sentencing scheduled for Friday, just 10 days before the presidential inauguration, Trump’s lawyers have implored the judge overseeing his case to postpone the proceeding, acc/to a court filing unsealed on Monday.

The New York Times · Trump Seeks to Halt His Criminal Sentencing in New YorkBy Ben Protess

Manhattan DA rebuffed #Trump’s request to dismiss his #criminal #conviction, signaling instead suggesting to freeze the case while he holds office.

In a letter to the judge, the prosecutors emphasized that a #jury had already #convicted Trump of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal.

But acknowledging the unprecedented nature of the case—Trump would be the 1st #felon to serve as president — the prosecutors raised the prospect of a 4-yr freeze.

The New York Times · Manhattan D.A. Suggests Freezing Trump Hush-Money Case While He Is PresidentBy Ben Protess

#Trump will be the next #UnitedStates president, after he was #impeached 2X & #convicted of state #crimes. He campaigned on…instituting #tariffs on most imports,…mass #deportations, rolling back #climate regulations & cracking down on #dissent.

Trump won after he campaigned on #nativist & #racist rhetoric about #immigrants. He spent his campaign trying to convince voters that their financial livelihoods were better when he was in office [despite inheriting Obama’s economy & then tanking it].

It's cruel what the media is doing to that #sick #old #man #donaldtrump...😭

I almost feel sorry for him...

#Nah...

#Media has been building trump up for their #horserace, just enough, so that the #poor #stupid #bastard #trump believes he, a #Nazi #Seditionist #Convicted #Felon and #Adjudicated #Rapist, actually has a chance for a win, #LOL, when they know that #trump and his #Fascism and his #Nazism and his #Jan6 #Sedition and his #TrumpAbortionBans and his #maga #trumpism are about to be #Aborted, when The #US performs an #Abortion on the #trumpcampaign with his coming #Election #Loss, and they know that that they, the #world #press, are about to make #billions on wall to wall #global #breakingnews #news coverage of #trump's upcoming #criminal #trials and ultimately #guilty verdicts for trump's #fraud and #crimes against the #American people, as well as trump's subsequent #punishment #fines and ultimate #incarceration.
