- ‘Enormous Hypocrisy!’ Dan Abrams Calls Out Stunning Double-Standard from Tru...
Dan Abrams accused President Donald Trump’s Justice Department of “enormous hypocrisy” in pushing to release audio recordings from former President Joe Biden’s classified documents investigation while having shielded records tied to Trump. Speaking on The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM, the Mediaite founder and legal analyst argued the administration’s position on the Biden recordings directly contradicts the legal rationale Trump allies used to block the release of portions of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report. The clash comes after Biden sued the federal government in an effort to stop the release of interviews conducted by Special Counsel Robert Hur during the classified documents probe tied to Biden’s memoir materials. Hur ultimately declined to charge Biden but ignited a political firestorm in 2024 after describing the former president as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Trump’s Justice Department has since argued the recordings should be released, claiming the prior administration attempted to “hide audio recordings that clearly demonstrate a significant decline” in Biden’s mental state. Abrams said the legal logic underpinning that effort falls apart when compared with the administration’s earlier defense of Trump. “There is a legal and practical argument that the Biden team can’t make — which is by far the strongest argument that Biden could have,” Abrams said before pointing to the parallel appointments of Hur and Smith by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland. Abrams noted that Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the release of Volume 2 of Smith’s report, covering Trump’s handling of classified documents, after ruling Smith had been “improperly” appointed. He quoted Cannon’s ruling that Trump and his co-defendants “still enjoy the presumption of innocence held sacrosanct in our constitutional order.” “So wait,” he said. “Jack Smith writing a report, he’s not charging [Trump] at this point, it’s a report that Jack Smith wrote about Donald Trump and the classified information. And Judge Aileen Cannon is saying, well, Jack Smith was appointed improperly and these defendants still enjoy the presumption of innocence.” “Well, Biden wasn’t even charged!” he exclaimed. He continued: “If you take Aileen Cannon’s reasoning – which is Jack Smith should never have been in the position – and you apply it to Biden, Robert Hur should never been in position, then how can you justify releasing the information? “The enormous hypocrisy of this administration in supporting Cannon’s ruling, but now fighting Biden on this,” he added. Abrams repeatedly returned to what he… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘But You Are Interrupting Me-‘ Trump Defender Gets Snippy in CNN Brawl Over ...A defender of President Donald Trump got snippy during a brawl over the Justice Department probe into E. Jean Carroll, when another panelist interrupted him to refute his take on the case, rejecting her apology. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll and was ordered to pay judgments of $5 million and $83 million, which have been upheld in court. Trump is still pursuing appeals. CNN dropped a bombshell report on Wednesday that the Trump DOJ is investigating Carroll for possible perjury charges over a 2022 deposition in which she said outside backers did not fund her lawsuit. On Wednesday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Keith Boykin, Peter Meijer, Jemele Hill, Pete Seat, Kmele Foster, and Staci Schneider to discuss the case. Phillip immediately challenged Seat when he began to weigh in on the merits of the case, and Schneider jumped in to call BS when he claimed the merits depend on your “political” viewpoint. When Schneider apologized for interrupting, Seat sourly noted, “But you are interrupting me, Staci” as she continued her rebuttal: PHILLIP: So, one of the things that you should know about this is that Todd Blanche, who’s now the acting attorney general, he is a former attorney of President Trump’s and represented him in this case. He’s recused himself from this. But does that actually clear the Justice Department from the accusation that what they’re doing effectively is going after people that the president wants to see prosecuted? PETE SEAT: Well, to me, the number one question is, did she commit perjury? If the answer- PHILLIP: Is that the number one question? SEAT: If the — you know, that’s what they’re potentially investigating. PHILLIP: Well, given what Staci — SEAT: I know you gave us the background of the entire unrelated case — PHILLIP: Given what Staci just said, which is that that issue was litigated in the case, it went before a judge, and the judge found that it did not affect her credibility, at a certain point, it was not pertinent to the case. So, is that really the main question here? SEAT: Yes, and I understand that. The timing seems to be the biggest piece of this to what you laid out. But if she did commit perjury, then the next question is, should she be held accountable for that? SCHNEIDER: Can I answer that, though? SEAT: And… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago

(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) Bruce Springsteen laid into President Donald Trump’s administration during a Wednesday night concert in Washington, D.C., following Trump call for MAGA followers to boycott the “prune” musician. Springsteen and his E Street Band hit Nationals Park this week for the second-to-last show of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which has been partly focused on the current state of politics and the country. “If you’re feeling helpless, if you’re feeling hopeless, if you’re feeling betrayed, if you’re feeling frustrated, if you’re feeling angry, I understand. That’s why we’re here tonight,” Springsteen told the stadium audience. We needed to come to Washington and feel your strength and your hope and your faith.” The tour will officially end in Philadelphia on Saturday, but Springsteen plans on mixing music and politics soon enough again, holding a music festival in Washington, D.C. on October 3, a month before the midterm elections. At the Wednesday concert, Springsteen played some politically charged tunes, like his recent Streets of Minneapolis, and led the crowd in an “ICE out!” chant. At one point, he directly addressed concertgoers in a six-minute rant, telling them to make sure the White House could hear their protests. “So many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people, you. There is no one coming to save us. We’ve got to do it ourselves. So join us and let’s fight for the America that we love. Do you hear me, Washington? Do you hear me, Washington?! Are you with us, Washington?! Are you with us, Washington?! Let them hear you at the f*cking White House!” Springsteen said.

Jean Carroll, calling out his campaign of “retribution” and “vengeance” against the woman who accused him of rape and was awarded damages for sexual abuse. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll in a case that saw Judge Lewis Kaplan write in one motion that, “The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’ Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.” Judgments of $5 million and $83 million have been upheld in court, but Trump is still pursuing appeals. CNN dropped a bombshell report on Wednesday that the Trump DOJ is investigating Carroll for possible perjury charges over a 2022 deposition a 2022 deposition in which she said outside backers did not fund her lawsuit. Carroll’s lawyers later told a judge that billionaire Reid Hoffman paid some of her legal fees and expenses. On Wednesday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, guest anchor Brianna Keilar hosted both legal experts, and all three of them called out Trump’s open hostility toward Carroll, which could result in a vindictive prosecution defense: BRIANNA KEILAR: The Trump revenge and retribution tour has taken yet another relentless turn. This time, sources say, the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, dating back to the 1990s. Carroll took Trump to civil court during his first term as president and won a $5 million judgment against him, after the jury concluded that he sexually abused her. In a second trial, a jury awarded Carroll, $83 million, after finding that Trump defamed her when, in 2019 he repeatedly denied the assault, said she wasn’t his type, and claimed that she made it up to boost sales of a book. The President continues to appeal that verdict. Let’s bring in Paula Reid to talk a little bit about this. Paula, this is exclusive reporting. What are sources telling you about this?

- ‘Sick!’ Trump Critics Erupt Over ‘Disgusting’ DOJ Probe into E. Jean Car...
(AP Photo/Eduardo Munoz Alvarez, File) Democratic lawmakers and Trump critics erupted with outrage Wednesday after news the Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the writer who won millions in damages after juries found President Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The investigation, first reported by CNN, centers on whether Carroll committed perjury during a 2022 deposition when she said outside backers were not funding her legal fight against Trump. Carroll later disclosed that billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman helped cover some legal expenses through a nonprofit tied to his network, although she argued she had no direct connection. The DOJ’s investigation, however, instantly ignited accusations online from Trump critics claiming the president’s department was weaponizing federal law enforcement against a woman who successfully sued him in court.
