    Judge dismisses Trump suit to block Congress from getting tax returns

    "A long line of Supreme Court cases requires great deference to facially valid congressional inquiries.

    Even the special solicitude accorded former Presidents does not alter the outcome,"

    "The Court will therefore dismiss this case."

    If the parties in the case don't reach an agreement on next steps within 14 days,

    Trump can seek relief from an appeals court.

    Remember how the Repugs sent BLM from DC to somewhere 100s of miles away, a backhand way to abuse, insult, disband BLm, "destruction of the administrative state"?

    Most BLM leaders to return to Washington

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will move many of its leadership positions back to Washington, D.C., after a controversial Trump-era move to send them to Grand Junction, Colo.

    An email sent out by BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning that was obtained by The Hill states that the agency will “consolidate” most of its directors in Washington.

    Judge scraps Trump lawsuit to shield tax returns from Congress
    But the judge stayed the impact of his ruling for 14 days.

    A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s bid to block congressional Democrats from obtaining his tax returns.

    Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee to federal district court in Washington, said Trump was “wrong on the law” and that Congress is due “great deference” in its inquiries.

    “Even the special solicitude accorded former Presidents does not alter the outcome,” McFadden wrote in a 45-page ruling. “The Court will therefore dismiss this case.”

    Trump dealt brutal court blow by judge he appointed


    Judge Trevor McFadden owes his seat to the ex-president

    but did him no favors when he rejected a bid to stop the Biden administration from releasing his tax returns to the House.

    Nonetheless he's appealing it. It'll get to the SC sooner, or, later.

    Madonna proved it by threatening to blow him up on his first day in office, January of 2017.
    Gen. Milley proved it by threatening to shoot him to death on his last day in office, January of 2021.

    But, by God he made President. 1 of only 44 others to have made President across 4 centuries...

    Trump President.
    Not Clinton.

    The fascist AmeriKKKa that Trash enticed, encouraged, validated

    ==============

    The “darkness of the edge of town has spread to the main roads and highways and neighborhoods,” Williams lamented.

    “It’s now at the local bar, and the bowling alley, at the school board and the grocery store.

    And it must be acknowledged and answered for.”


    “Grown men and women who swore an oath to our Cons ution,

    elected by their cons uents possessing the kinds of college degrees I could only dream of,

    have decided to join the mob and

    become something they are not while hoping we somehow forget who they were,” he continued.


    “They’ve decided to burn it all down ― with us inside,” added Williams.

    “That should scare you to no end as much as it scares an aging volunteer fireman.”

    'Unprecedented political interference':

    Bombs House report finds Trump Admin 'undermined' COVID response


    Trump administration engaged in "unprecedented political interference" in the work of scientific experts, including at CDC, and "was responsible for a series of critical failures that undermined the nation’s ability to respond effectively to the coronavirus pandemic."

    "The Trump Administration’s Persistent Political Interference in the Pandemic Response Contributed to One of the Worst Failures of Leadership in American History."

    "Trump Administration officials purposefully weakened" CDC's "testing guidance to reduce the amount of testing being conducted and obscure how rapidly the virus was spreading across the country."

    administration officials "championed a dangerous 'herd immunity' strategy inside the White House—

    including by arranging a roundtable event between then-President Trump and a fringe group of herd immunity proponents—

    that would have placed millions of lives at risk."

    "Trump White House officials blocked CDC briefings and media appearances, and

    attempted to sidestep CDC in finalizing coronavirus guidance.

    Trump White House officials neglected the pandemic response to focus on the 2020 presidential election and

    promote the Big Lie that the election results were fraudulent."

    the administration ignoring warnings from its own officials to obtain critical supplies including PPE (personal protective equipment) which ultimately led to medical professionals including doctors and nurses being forced to wear trash bags and reuse medical-grade face masks for days and weeks at a time.

    career scientists were "instructed to destroy evidence of political interference."

    "CDC official confirmed...she was instructed to destroy evidence of political interference by a Trump Administration political appointee.

    The CDC official told the Select Subcommittee that she understood this instruction—which 'seemed unusual' and made her 'uncomfortable'—came from then-CDC Director [Robert] Redfield.

    massive fraud and waste, and while not using the word "corruption "

    offers concerning examples of the administration's interference in coronavirus programs.

    Trump White House officials were involved in the approval process of the Treasury' Department's approval of a $700 million loan to one trucking company.

    "Reports have raised

    serious doubts that [the trucking company] satisfied the criteria to be deemed 'critical' to national security

    and questioned its use of funds."

    That one loan represented 95 percent of the entire program's funding.

    RNC (reportedly) picking up the tab for Trump's private legal bills

    The Republican National Committee has agreed to cover up to $1.6 million of Donald J. Trump’s personal legal bills, according to a person familiar with the matter, in an unusual arrangement under which the party is paying to defend the former president from ongoing investigations that focus on his private business practices.


    The first payments, for $121,670, were made in October to the firm of Mr. Trump’s lawyer Ronald P. Fischetti, and were publicly reported last month to the Federal Election Commission.


    The decision by the Republican Party to cover up to $1.6 million in legal fees was first reported on Thursday by The Washington Post and was confirmed by the person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations.

    He told ya's two years ago come next month how it was gonna be..."We'll have to herd it out like they did a 100 years ago."

    2 years later that's precisely what we're doing. You didn't want to hear that 2 years ago, but you're gettin' nearer to listening 2 years later, by God.
