"A federal judge declined to remove Mark Meadows’ Fulton County prosecution to federal court, per an order issued on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones for the Northern District of Georgia said in the ruling that Meadows’ alleged involvement in Trump’s effort to reverse his loss 'was not related to his role as White House Chief of Staff or his executive branch authority.'”

"But, so far, no one has been willing to employ the power of the judicial system to stem the violent incitements and the danger they are to the process of justice and democracy.

That must change. Either there’s rule of law or there isn’t."

"In other words [as ABC now reports], Trump knew that a search was likely in the works when he set Nauta and De Oliveira to the task of removing boxes from storage in Mar-a-Lago, and subsequently returning fewer of them than were removed. The inference is that Trump knowingly removed items he did not want prosecutors to find."

"This morning, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that Trump’s liability for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll had already been established by the jury in May and that the jury in the January trial will only have to decide how much money to award her. Kaplan also refused to cap the damages. The jury in May awarded Carroll $5 million."

Thick as thieves, so of course Sidney Powell and Kenneth Cheseboro do not want to be tried together — because trying them together underscores links in a conspiracy to overthrow the government that they do not want to acknowledge.

I'm all for letting the light shine on them — together, as co-conspirators.

Preventive detention reserved for exceptional circumstances, not for mundane law and order problems: Supreme Court

A two-judge Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta also berated the Telangana police for having police officers within its ranks who are oblivious to the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens by the Indian Constitution.

"The Tarrio case — and hundreds of others like it — function as a vivid reminder of the violent chaos fueled by Trump’s lies around the election and the extent to which his false claims helped inspire right-wing extremists who ultimately stormed the Capitol to thwart the peaceful transfer of power."

As Isabella Ramirez reports, Spazzo Pezzola cried crocodile tears on the courtroom as he, his wife, and mother pled for leniency for him after he "opened up the Capitol like a can opener" on Jan. 6, to quote Judge Timothy Kelly.

But once given his stiff sentence, all that false humility vanished, and he raised his fist and shouted, "Trump won."

Some folks are unteachable and have no shame.

"Americans will be able to observe demeanor, body language, and facial expressions, and judge for themselves. And most of the witnesses against Trump are Republicans, including high ranking officials like Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger."

I'm with Joyce Vance: let us see with our own eyes what goes on in that courtroom. Sunlight is the best disinfectant: let it shine in.

"In the Trump prosecution in Georgia, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee has announced that all proceedings, including the trial, will be livestreamed. It was just that easy. You can watch the case proceed on YouTube.

And just like that, America will have access to true facts. People may disagree about whether a witness was credible, but there will be no dispute about what they said."

"One of Trump’s recent federal court filings is truly Orwellian. Trump was trying to delay his trial by almost three years. The filing compares Trump, a self-proclaimed billionaire, to the Scottsboro Boys, nine Black youths who suffered one of the most notoriously racist judicial persecutions in U.S. history."

Judge Beryl Howell on how Giuliani's attempt to play the victim cuts no ice with her:

“Donning a cloak of victimization may play well on a public stage to certain audiences, but in a court of law this performance has served only to subvert the normal process of discovery in a straightforward defamation case."

"But at least his boss is starting to pitch in: After Trump refused Giuliani’s desperate requests to pay his legal bills, Trump agreed to host a $100,000-per-plate fundraiser on September 7 for his loyal henchman."
