- Breaking: Judge Orders Inquiry of Whether Trump Administration Misled the Court ...
Screenshot A federal judge has ordered a former inquiry into the Trump Administration to determine if officials misled the court in regard to President Donald Trump’s East Potomac Park project. At a contentious Friday hearing, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes pushed a lawyer from the Justice Department about Trump’s Oct. 18 Truth Social post mentioning the plan for a new course at the park, which currently boasts a municipal golf facility, and his statement that the facility would close Nov. 15. Government lawyers told the judge during a seven-hour hearing a day after the Truth Social post that there was no plan to close the East Potomac course, according to The Washington Post’s report on the form inquiry order. “The third-highest-ranking official at the Department of Justice is telling me, telling a federal court, that he cannot say that when the president posted the course will close on Nov. 15, what he meant was the course would close on Nov. 15,” Reyes said, according to the outlet. The judge, a Biden appointee, lambasted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr. during the hearing, the news organization reported: The judge opened the hearing by reading from D.C. Bar Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3, which bars lawyers from knowingly making false statements to a court or failing to correct prior false statements. She accused Woodward of playing “games” with language after he sought to distinguish Trump’s public statements from the government’s position in court. “We played games on Oct. 19,” Reyes told Woodward, referencing a previous contentious hearing in her courtroom. “We’re not doing it today.” The spicy hearing had plenty of heat as Reyes repeatedly slammed Woodward and at one point, looked up the definition of the word “involved” in the dictionary after a different government lawyer refused to answer one of her questions. It was also revealed that this week, the government intended to submit a rendering of the new facility to the National Capital Planning Commission for review and that planning for the move had long been underway — something no one mentioned during the Oct. 19 hearing, an infuriated Reyes noted. “Are you telling the court that there has been, in the works, a submission to send these plans to the National Capital Planning Commission for weeks, and no one — no one — mentioned that on Oct. 19 in a seven-hour hearing?” Reyes asked. Woodward told the judge… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - MS NOW Claims the FBI Will Confiscate Ballot Boxes — According to the Fear of ...
MS NOW Ken Dilanian When it comes to the MS NOW intelligence correspondents, it seems as though intelligence gathering in their reporting is secondary (tertiary?) to emotion. You are covering a realm that is built on the gathering of intel and vetting the contents – shouldn’t you be employing the same tactics when reporting on such? We have a new report from Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, he, fresh off clearing the yolk from his mug after being exposed for his very wrong report about Kash Patel landing in Moscow. (A refresher: He never did.) This latest from inside the FBI is a howler. The un-dynamic duo reports that agents are telling them about the prospect of the FBI being called upon to “disrupt” the election process this coming Tuesday. It is all very grave and nefarious-sounding information. It is also rooted in complete and blatant nonsense. According to their report, devious plans abound, based on numerous individuals speaking with the reporters. And yet, they manage to deliver this breathless, accusatory report while it is devoid of anything that can be considered worth taking seriously. Just the headline alone tells us what we are in store for in the article: White House actions spur worry among FBI agents about being called to polling places, sources say. Here is why this report should not only be laughed off as merit-free, but it should have been handed back to these two reporters by an editor with a dram of credibility. There is nothing in their content that you could consider substantial. The entirety of this claim is purely speculative hype from unnamed sources. Behold all of these qualifying terms littered throughout the hyperventilating prose: “Worry” / “expressed fear” / “may be” / “deep concerns” / “could be ordered” / “they believe” / “in theory” / “some agents share the fear” And on it goes. Randos were mewling about their emotions; that is the entirety of this intel. Is there anything you could point to that approaches tangible evidence of…something?! Now consider that typical of a Leonnig-Dilanian MS NOW enterprise; not a single dose of information is delivered by a verified individual. (This pair even reported on Patel seeking out anonymous leakers – according to their anonymous sources.) In typical fashion, this new report arrives from “seven people with knowledge of internal discussions among the ranks.” Not a single person is named, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - Nate Silver Says ‘Republicans Still Have a Lot of Winning Combinations’ in M...
Pollster Nate Silver argued Republicans “still have a lot of winning combinations” that could keep Democrats from gaining control of Congress in the midterm elections. Silver joined the Mixed Signals podcast from Semafor on Friday and spoke with Semafor editor-in-chief Ben Smith and reporter Max Tani to discuss the midterms and what he sees as potential outcomes for some of the more tight and significant races. While some are predicting a blue wave in a few days, Silver argued Democrats have to “summit some very red terrain” and it could prove challenging enough that they manage to fall short because of a few key races. Silver laid out a “death by a thousand cuts” scenario where Democrats manage to flip the Texas Senate seat that James Talarico is running for against Ken Paxton, but then fail in Michigan and Maine with Abdul El-Sayed and Troy Jackson, both also running for Senate. El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers while Jackson is running against incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). “It would not shock me at all if they kind of had death by a thousand cuts where they lose Maine by a point and maybe Talarico wins, but then El-Sayed loses, whatever permutations. Republicans still have a lot of winning combinations,” Silver said. The pollster added that Texas will be the most shocking win, even if Democrats are “statistically” favored in polls and prediction markets since the state is so reliably red. “If I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning on Nov. 4 and Texas is lit up blue on all the maps that would still be emotionally kind of shocking just because we’re so accustomed to it being a red state,” he said. Numerous polls have showed unusually tight races in typically reliably red states with just days to go ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms. Watch above via Semafor.

Dan S. Sullivan (R). Croft insisted he wasn’t aware of the scheme, which have prompted some to suggest Peltola shouldn’t be seated if she wins. The state party chair said he refers to the incumbent Sullivan as “Ohio Dan,” because the senator grew up in Ohio, and the other Sullivan as “Petersburg Dan,” because he’s from the small Alaskan town in the southern part of the state. “Let’s be clear, there is no legal issue here,” Croft told Brown before pivoting to a lawsuit President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to file, blocking the election should the incumbent lose the race. “The DOJ is supposed to investigate on their own, but this was done for political purposes, weaponizing the DOJ,” Croft said, adding “and there’s no legal there there. You can encourage people to vote. You can encourage people to run. “I reread all of Alaska’s statutes. I’m kind of a recovering attorney up here. And there is nothing, there’s no legal issue to it. On your, you know, sort of dirty tricks thing, I think Alaskans have a different take there too,” he said. “We know to bring a gun to a gun fight. And so if the criticism is, ‘Hey, the person running for this may use foul language may really take a fight seriously and bring a fight — I mean, Alaskans’ biggest concern usually is that we’re going to get forgot. Half the maps leave us off the map. And so we kind of want elected representatives to push hard and use every tool they got. So I’m just not hearing that level of outrage,” he said. When Brown tried to clarify if Croft supported the effort to recruit a doppelganger Dan Sullivan, he answered, “No, I think it’s funny.” He then tried to deflect to another case involving a candidate on the ballot who is currently jailed for threatening elected officials, though he didn’t identify the candidate by name. “You know, running… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
