If I tell an FBI agent somebody told me a “source” has audio recordings of Joe Biden taking a $5 million bribe, the agent will write it down on a form called an FD-1023. Now substitute an unnamed whistleblower who can’t be located for “I” and you’ve got the grand [...]

Miami Cuban restaurant photo-op was classic Trump
Trump went straight from his Mar-a-Lago documents case arraignment in a Miami federal courthouse to a Cuban-cuisine restaurant called the Versailles, where he called out, “Food for everyone!” On their own dime, it turned out, because Trump left before anyone could order. He himself ate [...]
Nikki Haley says she’ll pardon Trump
Nikki Haley, who’s running for president, says if she’s elected she’ll pardon Trump for his classified documents crimes (see story here). “When you look at a pardon, the issue is less about guilt, and more about what’s good for the country,” Haley said. Right. From that persp[...]

What’s at stake in Trump’s trial
Now that he’s been indicted, Trump is entitled to a presumption of innocence, and a fair trial. Those are bedrock principles of the U.S. legal system. Trump “has a lot at stake” in the case, a New York Times writer says. “He could, in theory, go to prison for years.” Bu[...]

“A lawyer for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio of Florida said Donald Trump is to blame for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, and federal authorities are using Tarrio as a scapegoat for the former president’s actions,” the Associated Press reported on Tuesday, Ap[...]
Can Trump beat Biden in 2024?
I don’t know. It’s not even assured they’ll be the nominees, although both are running. The polls suggest neither are popular, but do polls at this stage really tell us anything about an election over 18 months away? Here’s what one of HorsesAss.org’s most articulate po[...]
New poll suggests Trump faces uphill battle
Trump is the early favorite for the 2024 GOP nomination, but even if he isn’t wearing an orange prison jumpsuit by then, he’s unlikely to win over general election voters. A new AP/NORC poll released on Thursday, April 20, 2023, shows 70% of Americans don’t want him to run for pres[...]

Sizing up the case against Trump
The DA charged Trump with election crimes. If he didn’t make hush money payoffs to influence an election, falsifying business records to hide those payments would be misdemeanors under New York law. Let’s start by quoting what Trump said after his arraignment: “Former President Don[...]
