Hunter Biden lawyer accuses prosecutors of bowing to Republican pressure'

Abbe Lowell says if client's last name was anything other than Biden, the charges would not have been been brought'

In his statement, Biden's attorney said Weiss, who was nominated to his job in Delaware by Donald Trump and made special counsel by the current attorney general, Merrick Garland, had "bowed to Republican pressure to file unprecedented and unconstitutional gun charges to renege on a non-prosecution resolution".

"Now, after five years of investigating with no new evidence " and two years after Hunter paid his taxes in full " the US attorney has piled on nine new charges when he had agreed just months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors."

The charges come after two IRS whistleblowers told Republican lawmakers that the five-year investigation into Hunter Biden's affairs had been slow-rolled and mismanaged."

As I understand it, the main witnesses are still the same "whistleblowers" that were laughed out of House Hearings a few months ago.

Tell me if that's not the case.

"The unanimous three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the order from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to the extent that it prohibits the former president from making public statements about potential witnesses in the case "concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding."

He is also barred from commenting about lawyers in the case other than the special counsel, members of court staff and lawyers' staff, and their family members.".

It seems to be a strategery that werks well with nationalistic rwing populists:

Tell them the only way you can lose is if the election is rigged, while you yourself are busy rigging it.

Then, when that fails, tell them that your crimes are the weaponization of the DOJ rather than the Law werking to convict you of your crimes.

Once the first Big Lie
is swallowed, the next ones go down easily enough.

"The CNN poll released Thursday found about two-thirds of respondents are worried about the impacts of climate change on their communities, and nearly 60 percent are worried about increasing extreme weather."

.

Unfortunately, the other half of Republicans control that Party.

"Trump's former senior adviser Stephen Miller, president of the Maga-allied legal group America First Legal, is playing a key role in seeking lawyers fully in sync with Trump's radical agenda to expand his power and curb some major agencies.

His search is for those with unswerving loyalty to Trump, who could back Trump's increasingly authoritarian talk about plans to "weaponize" the DoJ against critics, including some he has labeled as "vermin"."

.

"Trump doesn't care about the rule of law or the quality of the criminal justice system. He only cares about fealty to him

"They're looking for lawyers who worship Trump and will do his bidding," Ty Cobb, a former White House lawyer during the Trump years and former justice department official, said.

"Trump is looking to Miller to pick people who will be more loyal to Trump than the rule of law."

Above the Law and above the People.

lmao!

Hedges is the quintessential leftist political agitator journalist... well, until he wants to point out what fundamentalist dicks secular atheists can be.

Most aren't, mind you.

Most were turned off by the New Atheists' New Fundamentalism, which is how they differed from traditional atheists, you know, to get attention.

Which is why everyone, well, almost everyone, is SO over them now.

So Kelce is dating a billionaire?

What's this world coming to, lol.

No wonder Chiefs are struggling...

19 lol!

I worked recruiting sw engineering pros in the Silicon Valley, and some of them were real dicks.

Read the quote in 16 about the secular fundamentalism that is as negative as the religious fundamentalism.

But then, you prolly never heard of Chris Hedges, so there's that.

Many of us actually played the game, from Pop Warner League on up.

But our little non-citizen poster watches it, so he's the expert.

No, just not a giggly, pimple-faced prima donna like yourself.

"In May of 2007 I went to L.A. to debate Sam Harris, and then two days later I went to San Francisco to debate Christopher Hitchens.

Up until that point, I hadn't paid much attention to the work of the New Atheists.

After reading what they had written and walking away from these debates, I was appalled at how what they had done for the secular left was to embrace the same kind of bigotry and chauvinism and intolerance that marks the radical Christian right.

I found that in many ways they were little more than secular fundamentalists."

Trump has noticable atheist tendencies.

Damn... and my money was on Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, et al.

No one could have predicted this!

Is that what that noise is... he does sort of jangles when walks.

I just thought it was loose change.

Apparently so.

Saudi Arabia, the ultimate sand trap.

They are getting off easy... Fake Electors in other states are in prison or soon will be.

Nice for SP Jack Smith and GA DA, though.

A mass admission of an Insurrection Conspiracy to the Court.

Update:

Texas is now threatening any doctors who help this woman...

Dec 7 (Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday threatened to prosecute any doctors involved in providing an emergency abortion to a woman, hours after she won a court order allowing her to obtain one for medical necessity.

Paxton said in a letter that the order by District Court Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Austin did not shield doctors from prosecution under all of Texas's abortion laws, and that the woman, Kate Cox, had not shown she qualified for the medical exception to the state's abortion ban.

Paxton said in a statement accompanying the letter that Guerra Gamble's order "will not insulate hospitals, doctors, or anyone else, from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas' abortion laws."

The letter was sent to three hospitals where Damla Karsan, the doctor who said she would provide the abortion to Cox, has admitting privileges.

"Fearmongering has been Ken Paxton's main tactic in enforcing these abortion bans," Marc Hearron, senior counsel at Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents Cox, said in a statement.

"He is trying to bulldoze the legal system to make sure Kate and pregnant women like her continue to suffer."

"We have a long road ahead," the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, wrote in one email last month.

"Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law."

The previously unreported emails, between Willis and defense lawyers, open a window on to the endgame envisioned by prosecutors on her team " which could inform legal strategies ahead of a potential trial next year, such as approaches toward plea deal negotiations."

The Crime, Bev, is allowing corporations and individuals, who are usually also several corporations, to secretly spend untold millions to pay lawmakers to write laws that benefit said corporates.

This isn't rocket science.

"The idea that Miss Cox wants desperately to be a parent, and this law might actually cause her to lose that ability is shocking, and would be a genuine miscarriage of justice," Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, a Democrat elected to the bench, said Thursday."

.

Johnathan Stone, with the Texas Attorney General's Office, argued in court that Cox hadn't proved she would suffer "immediate and irreparable injury" and suggested that a subsequent hearing be allowed with more evidence.

He said under state law doctors can use "reasonable medical judgement" in providing an emergency abortion to protect a woman's life at risk, but that it didn't appear Cox met that definition.

Molly Duane, Cox's attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, said that standard is impossible to meet without harming a woman.

.

"The state attempts to second guess Miss Cox's positions and say that she is still not sick enough," Duane said.

"They have moved the goalposts once again. Now a patient must be about to die before a doctor can rely on the exception. This position is not only cruel and dangerous, but it flies in the face of the Texas Constitution, medical ethics and the laws themselves."
