Parking this here: Rudy Giuliani suspended from practicing law in New York over false statements about Trump election lossA New York court on Thursday suspended Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in New York state due to making “false and misleading statements” about the election loss of former President Donald Trump, his client. The suspension, which takes effect immediately, is a stunning blow to Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who previously served as a top Justice Department official and as the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan.

Don’t you know Mike’s family would like to hire someone to dart him with a tranquilizer and drag him off to the special care unit.
His whole fortune is going down the drain, what he hasn’t lost in revenue or blown on his special movie no one watched will end up going to whoever sued him first. Dominion?

I wonder if Mike Lindell's mental health is failing. I wonder if his family and friends notice any changes.
I wonder how much stress he is under that he cannot let this go. (stress as in "he's in for a penny, in for a pound" - he can't find a way to back out (which admits he was wrong). )

The Atlantic had an article about Ed McBroom, a dairy farmer in Michigan who is also a Republican state senator and the person in charge of an 8 month long investigation into whether or not the 2020 Michigan vote was stolen from Trump.
He concluded it was not stolen, no evidence of voting fraud. In fact, he said, all the conspiracy theories were a bunch of nonsense.
“The committee strongly recommends citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain. “
Now he’s getting death threats.
Very long but good article. I’ll try to post the link below.

Sorry when I tried to copy the link it copied the whole long article.
Google Ed McBroom, and look for the Atlantic article.

Oh those crazy tourists... Justice Department releases videos of 1/6 cop-dragging attack near pro-Trump rioter who diedThe Justice Department released new police body camera footage Friday showing one of the most disturbing assaults during the Capitol insurrection -- where three officers waded into the crowd to save a pro-Trump rioter who was trampled, only to be stripped of their protective gear, dragged down a set of stairs and attacked with crutches, flagpoles, batons and bare hands. The DOJ released the videos after CNN and other outlets sued for access. All of the officers involved in this incident worked for Washington, DC's police force. They were identified by initials in court filings. Officer AW stepped out of a tunnel where police were congregated and into the crowd to help Rosanne Boyland, 34, a rioter and QAnon supporter who was trampled by the mob. She died of an accidental drug overdose, according to Washington, DC's chief medical examiner. Boyland's body is seen in some of the new videos, which also show her friend screaming for assistance. Prosecutors say AW's body-worn camera video shows defendant Jack Whitton leaping over a barricade, knocking AW onto his back and attempting to wrestle away his baton. Over AW's head, other rioters hit the police line with flagpoles and metal poles. The crowd drags AW into the crowd while he pleads for help. Members of the crowd ignore the plea, one rioter leans down and shouts, "traitor." Much of the clip is from AW's perspective on the ground looking up. The attack landed AW in the hospital, where he got staples in his head to stop the bleeding. Whitton was charged with several felonies, including assault. He hasn't yet entered a plea. Another officer, C.M., tried to help his colleagues. CM's bodycam footage shows another officer dragged into the crowd. It also shows Boyland lying on the ground. This is the first footage the US government has released showing Boyland's death. She was one of a few Trump supporters who died in the attack. Prosecutors say the footage then shows defendant Michael Lopatic rushing toward CM, attacking the officer and grabbing him by the head and punching him. CM's bodycam is dislodged and falls to the ground, briefly revealing a splatter of blood. CM got a concussion that day, though it may have been caused when he was assaulted a second time later in the day in a different incident, according to court filings. Lopatic was charged with several felonies, including assault, and hasn't entered a plea yet. The Justice Department released two bodycam clips from another officer. One clip shows the tug-of-war between the rioters and the officers who were trying to pull their colleague to safety. The officers are repeatedly pummeled with poles and what appear to be stolen police batons. Another bodycam clip, recorded about 20 minutes later, shows police in a second tunnel, holding the line with riot shields. Rioters throw objects, hitting the shields. According to prosecutors, Whitton is the man who is heard in the clip, shouting at the police, "you're gonna die tonight" (He later boasted to friends, saying that "I fed him to the people," referring to the officer, according to court filings).

Capitol Rioter Who Pleaded Guilty Asks Court Not To ‘Cancel’ Him With Prison TimeThat was the essence of the 31-page sentencing memorandum from Capitol rioter Paul Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa, who pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding last month and likely faces one or two years in prison. We now live in a county that seeks to cancel one another,” Hodgkins’ attorney Patrick N. Leduc wrote in the memo. “It is the end state and the result of becoming a post-Christian society.” Hodgkins was one in a group of rioters who briefly occupied the Senate chamber during the attack, taking with him a “Trump 2020” flag and mean-mugging for a quick insurrection selfie. But Leduc, making appeals to the court’s mercy and pursuing sweeping detours into American history, painted his client as nothing less than the ideal citizen. “This case is the story of a man who represents all that we would want in our fellow Americans,” Leduc said near the beginning of the sentencing memo. “Law-abiding, hardworking, honest, caring, kind, thoughtful, generous, and the kind of person you would love to have for a neighbor. It is the story of man who for just one hour on one day, lost his bearings and his way.” So it went: Hodgkins had a momentary lapse of judgement, Leduc argued, and the court’s treatment of him would send a message to the rest of the nation. “Paul is an avatar of us all, and how this Court deals with his misconduct will say much about where we are and what we will become as a nation,” the memo argued, adding later, “the prize that the Mr. Hodgkins received for being in the Capitol is unwanted notoriety, and the scarlet letter that many of his fellow citizens will compel him to wear, without an ounce of knowledge or understanding of the man he now is.” (A footnote in the memo helpfully noted that Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter “explores guilt, revenge, and redemption in colonial America.”) Complete article here: link

50000 hours of community service. I'm okay with that. The person who told the mob to march to the Capitol building should be given 100,000 hours of community service while wearing an orange jumpsuit.

That charge carries a maximum possible penalty of 20 years imprisonment, but with his plea agreement, Hodgkins faces a recommended sentence of between 15 and 21 months.
link So plea bargain it down from 5 to 1 charge, 20 year max down to 15 to 21 months. Then argue that you shouldn't get any jail time. Hope the judge doesn't buy it.

Trump wants to reveal the name of the person who shot Ashli Babbitt and is demanding he be arrested. www.insider.com/ashli-babbitt-trump-cop-who-shot-capitol-rioter-social-media-2021-7Conservative sites (and Piers Morgan) have been posting what they claim is the name of the officer. Incredibly dangerous. Hope that the poor guy whose name is being thrown about is able to go underground for a while. If he does get killed by a MAGA head, I can already predict Trump’s response: ‘I never said anyone should kill him.’

Ahead of Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, Milley referred to potential disruptors of the event as "the same people we fought in World War II," according to the book. "Here's the deal, guys: These guys are Nazis, they're boogaloo boys, they're Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II. We're going to put a ring of steel around this city, and the Nazis aren't getting in," the general was quoted. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joint-chiefs-chairman-fretted-over-coup-attempt-after-trump-lost-2020-election-book/ar-AAMarTL?ocid=msedgntpI can see why conservatives didn't want an investigation. After calling Obama a communist for 8 years, then turn around and really have one with the grip Trump has over his base they have to support.

www.cnn.com/2021/07/13/politics/munn-family-texas-us-capitol/index.htmlshesh! what a way to risk your kids future, or even their life. I wonder how this is going to follow people - in terms of career, how it might influence judicial proceeding in mild cases later in life to have this in your past. Says their was another child who is a minor and is not being charged.

Trump is trying not just to make the Jan insurrection a love fest with tourists and Babbitt the beloved Joan of Arc type martyr, he’s now going to try to paint the police and security folks as wicked Dem controlled agents targeting and shooting all the peaceful MAGA heads. Soon, he’ll be claiming the MAGA heads didn’t even want to come inside, but Pelosi and Schumer were luring them in with danish and hot coffee so the army of demons waiting in the halls could rush out and attack. He only gets worse with time.

He will not increase his base in doing so and will shed potential votes as individual after individual decide he has gone too far with each more extreme telling.
