#SiliconValley #Shysters Indicted : Founder of #SanFrancisco based #AI chatbot company and his #Georgetown JD lawyer wife have been indicted on over 20 counts for investment #fraud schemes that prosecutors say raked in $60 Million via use of #forgery, identity theft, faked #financial statements etc
The wife, also the firm's #attorney, faces an additional 20 years in #prison for obstruction of #justice if convicted along with husband in schemes to foster their unlawful lavish lifestyles. At one point the legal #scam fraudulently showed #investors documents ensuring they had a $13m cash balance in the account and $69m in annual revenues when their real bank balance was $25.93
#Funders involved in feeding the greedy fake paper corporation included household name celebs like #SnoopDogg and #JoeMontana.
Prior to this week's #indictments, the #scheme first unraveled 6 months ago when an article appeared at #VentureBeat announcing abrupt departure of now indicted #CEO.

"The story of that period has a powerful resonance today as #Trump, angered in part by the two #federal & two state-level #indictments... threatens to carry out a campaign of #retribution if he returns to the White House. He has signaled that a 2nd Trump administration would be stocked not with people who served as #guardrails during his first term, but with carefully vetted loyalists who would eagerly carry out his wishes"

And he spent valuable time emphatically insisting that the multiple #indictments against him are “fake cases.”
But that’s not all. #Trump savaged people he had appointed to his admin who have since broken w/him. He repeated his claim that #Harris wasn’t #Black. And then there was the pièce de résistance: Trump spreading the #ConspiracyTheory, #weird even by his standards, that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian migrants are abducting & devouring their neighbors’ pets.
Harris dominated Trump in #debate
#KamalaHarris, who was under pressure to define herself…, did so less by outlining her policy positions, though she did some of that, & more by being vigorous & unrelenting in attacking #Trump. She played prosecutor from start to finish. She called him a threat to the future of the country….She portrayed him as obsessed w/himself rather than the people he seeks to serve. She detailed his #criminal convictions & #indictments against him.

Washington Post · Analysis | Harris dominated Trump in debate, but will it matter?In Tuesday night’s scorching debate, Harris tried to keep Trump on the defensive. But with polls showing no clear leader, the race may stay tight until the end.

The #indictments were part of the #Biden admin’s most sweeping effort yet to tackle what it described as Russian #disinformation campaigns ahead of the November election.
…#Trump, who has often boasted about his relationship w/ #Putin & claimed w/o evidence that #Russia would never have invaded #Ukraine if he was president, has expressed deep skepticism about continuing #US military aid to Ukraine.

#Legal experts say #AileenCannon’s ruling could be used as ammunition for defense lawyers to challenge #indictments or directives from ANY interim ofcl who is not confirmed by #Congress, including acting US #attorneys or senior #DOJ ofcls.…
Cannon’s ruling rejected DECADES of findings by other courts that approved the appointments of special counsels, or similar types of semi-independent prosecutors.
#DonaldTrump said at the #RepublicanNationalConvention that #JoeBiden "weaponized the Justice Department" to indict him. First thing, only two for the four recent indictments were federal courts.

Just imagine, if every #GOP sycophant had the fortitude of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, Donald #Trump would be 3 years in the rear view mirror (pending criminal #indictments aside).
Every Republican has conceded as much behind closed doors, yet here we are, waiting for all of it to burn down at his command.
A judge this week threw out felony indictments against nine former Houston police officers who were involved in a botched drug raid in 2019 that led to the shooting deaths of a couple on Harding Street.

#BorisEpshteyn routinely surfaces as a lesser character in #Trump-related #indictments. In a case in #Arizona on Tues, he will be a major figure.
A college friend of Trump’s son Eric at Georgetown, he would become a swaggering TV surrogate for the 2016 Trump campaign before eventually serving as Trump’s unofficial chief #fixer & #legal strategist.

I remember when "Lock her up!" was fine with them.
Now that "Lock him up!" is suddenly bad, this just proves that pronouns do matter to these people after all.

" Since the 2020 presidential election, he and his surrogates have made repeated accusations and statements about how the system is rigged against them and alleged there is evidence that proves them right.
Crucially, they make those arguments only in front of television cameras or on podcasts and radio. They refuse to make them under oath in a court of law, where there are penalties for lying. "

Normalized Trump’s 4 #indictments and #terrorist coup

#NYT—plz stop whitewashing #rapist Trump
Humanizing and fawning over criminals and #fascist enablers is how we lose our #republic
All this Trump-ass-kissing cuz Biden picked #HowardStern over the NYT for an interview?!
