Project Veritas 'manufacturing' news?
Using illegal and underhanded methods to obtain damaging information?

Nooooo. 

That would NEVER happen.

In the ongoing saga of Mesa County (CO) clerk, (and Trumpist wackjob), Tina Peters, one of her lackeys just rolled over on her:

So it says the Trump campaign turned the thieves down flat before Veritas paid.
 

Imagine being arrogant enough to call your organisation ‘Veritas’ while being even less ethical than Trump’s lackeys?

Hi Robert,

I am always amazed at, when facing time in the GreyBar Hotel, how verbose people can become.

That is not entirely what it says. If you go to the actual court document. (PDF warning) you will see it contains the following text that was sent.

"KURLANDER texted HARRIS, "[Candidate-2] campaign can't use it. They want it to go to the FBI. There is NO WAY [Candidate-2] can use this. It has to be done a different way..."

 

This could certainly suggest that they discussed a different way for this information to become public. The Trump campaign just didn't want to be directly tied to it.

You will also note that Kurlander was given a plea deal in return for cooperating with the Government. This investigation has not yet concluded.

"Her entry — multiple trips in and out of the club grounds — lays bare the vulnerabilities of a facility that serves as both the former president's residence and a private club, and highlights the gaps in security that can take place."

Why is the liberal mainstream media making such a big deal about a Russian imposter getting into a golf club?  It's a nothingburger.  I mean, it's not like there were boxes full of nuclear secrets just sitting around.

Hi Robert,

One thing positive about the Jan 6th fiasco, it is keeping a lot of lawyers employed.

43 empty folder with "Classified" banners.....

For me Occam's Razor still says he would have monetized the information. Unless people want to argue that he brought empty folders with him so he could put non-classified documents in them, so they would appear to be more valuable....or truthy.

Or he tried to hide them by removing from the folder and inserting them with other non-classified documents.

Regardless, this seems to have made things worse for Donald.

From the Judge presiding over the case.

“Democracy will prevail. Our system of law will prevail. Because without democracy, without our law, we are nothing more than any other failed state in this world, run by the loudest of voices with the worst of intentions  — the mob who thinks they know what justice is without any regard of the facts, or worse.”

Bolding added. I think this perfectly describes the cancer that the Trump Cult represents.

Probably not. You wouldn't sell a mint condition coin without the original case and I suspect that you'd get better in the exchange if your secrets were in the original secret folder. Provenance being everything with collectibles.

HEY! Great minds think alike. Thats what i thought when i started this thread. It will likely still be going after trump is dead.

The legal stuff is just getting started and $250 million that trump controls can put allot of food on the tables of unemployed lawyers.

New Mexico county commissioner and Cowboys for Trump founder removed from elected office for role in US Capitol riot

The ruling was the result of a lawsuit seeking Griffin's removal, which alleged that he violated a clause in 14th Amendment of the Constitution by participating in an "insurrection" against the US government.

Refreshing to see a court take the 14th Amendment seriously.

Maybe. He was convicted previously, and sentenced to 14 days in the slammer, for trespassing at the January 6 Republican prayer meeting at the Capitol. I'll get excited when one or two of our congress and senator critters get 14th'd into the history books.

[wolfriverjoe 1,523]

As noted in the story, this is the first time a judge ruled that the Jan 6th insurrection attempt was, in fact an insurrection attempt. 

Gotta wonder if that precedent will stand.

Also wondering if the judge owes beer for that.

NPR: Fox producer's warning against Jeanine Pirro surfaces in Dominion defamation suit

The November 2020 email from an anguished Fox News news producer to colleagues sent up a flare amid a fusillade of false claims.

The producer warned: Fox cannot let host Jeanine Pirro back on the air. She is pulling conspiracy theories from dark corners of the Web to justify then-President Donald Trump's lies that the election had been stolen from him.

Nice to know at least one Fox producer had a clue.
