Flotsam and Jetsam - Sups Take Up Jack's Trump Plea

 From Breitbart, Supreme Court to Quickly Decide Whether or Not to Hear Trump Immunity Defense in Special Counsel Prosecution "Late Monday the Supreme Court granted Smith’s request to expedite its consideration of his petition to take the case, with the court ordering Trump’s lawyers to file their response to his petition by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, December 20. If the court grants the petition, Trump’s case would be heard early in 2024. If the justices deny the petition, then Trump’s current appeal on the immunity argument will play out in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit." Nicole Silvero at Da Caller thinks Elie Honig Names One Thing That Could Doom Cases Against Trump "Honig warned both Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ cases against Trump could be “out the window” if the Supreme Court sides with the former president. “If Donald Trump is to win here, obviously Jack Smith’s federal election interference case is out the window,” Honig said during a Monday segment of “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” “I also think Fani Willis’ case is doomed. Yes, that is a state-level case, but the principles of immunity would apply whether it’s a federal or state-level prosecution. Again, that’s if Trump wins.”"At Da Caller, Jack Smith Collected Images, Website Visits And Usage Data From Trump’s Cellphone, Filing Reveals.  I&I has a poll, Nearly Half Of Dems Say Charges Against Trump Are Politically Motivated. Vicky Taft at PJM sees Lawsuits Against Trump Are So Transparently Political They're Backfiring Badly With Democrats. From Politico, Michael Cohen’s lawyer in hot water after citing court cases that don’t exist "He cited three apparently bogus cases as precedent to terminate supervised release for Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments "This is some next-level meta phenomenon. What’s next, a perjury trial for the attorney representing the perjurer?" Did he hire ChatGPT as his lawyer? At Am Great Daniel Oliver discourses on The Inevitability of Nonsense about Donald Trump.

Margot Cleveland at Da Fed is not impressed that the Weiss Indictment Parrots Bogus Claim That A Chinese Felon Paid Hunter Biden $1M For Legal Representation. No evidence of a legal work product. Ace, Hunter Biden Files For Dismissal of Federal Gun Charges; Speaker Johnson Says Biden's Stonewalling Compels a Formal Vote to Begin an Impeachment Investigation. "Thanks to rick223, Hunter Biden continues with his "Dark Hunter" legal strategy of suing his enemies and aggressively meritless filings to dismiss." Leah Barkoukis at Town Hall cites Oversight Committee Posts the 'Biggest Revelations' From Investigation of Biden. No great surprises here, unless all you read is the WaPoo, but it's useful to see them all in one place.

Hat Hair's Beege Wellborn notes Time for a Little CNBC Positive POTATUS Wishcasting, lipstick, pig. Trevor Thomas at Am Think thinks he sees Bidenflation Right Before Your Eyes.  Will Kessler at Da Caller  shows Here’s How Much Americans’ Home Payments Have Increased Under Biden. Yahoo! reports The Fed watcher who called the 2007 housing bubble expects interest rates to stay high for ‘much, much, much longer.’ It’s payback for the unsustainable ‘free money era’. Paul Bedard at WaEx hears a former Regulations czar: Biden turns OMB into ‘Co-conspirator in over-regulation.’ From the Free Bacon, Congress Probes Biden Admin's $3 Billion Loan to Solar Company Accused of Scamming Elderly. Solyndra on steroids.  

PJM's Matt Margolis thinks Ouch. You Won’t Believe Who Democrats Are Recruiting to Save Biden’s Campaign. Hillary! Ace, Antisemetic Mob Shows Up For Biden Fundraiser, Defacing Homes and a Synagogue. Hat Hair's KT reports Kamala's Campaign Communication Director is a Defund the Police Kind of Guy.

Bob Spencer at Front Page, Man Fires Shots Outside Albany Synagogue, Screams ‘Free Palestine’. "FBI working to find motive." Mary Chastain at LI, Suspect Arrested for Allegedly Attacking an Elderly Jewish Man in Beverly Hills, "Officers booked Jarris Jay Silagi, 44,  “on the suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery, elder abuse and a hate crime.”"  From the Free Bacon, Soros-Backed Group Storms Senate Office Building, Demands Israeli Ceasefire "US Campaign for Palestinian Rights boasts of its activists having 'TAKEN OVER the Senate atrium'" Seems kind of insurrectiony to me, do you think they'll face charges like the J6ers? PJM's Athena Thorne thinks it's Amazing! Biden DOJ Successfully Prosecutes Antifa Terrorist Who Firebombed Pro-Life Office. I suspect they'll stop and declare victory.

Sundance at CTH is not surprised 46 Deep State Officials Including Rosenstein, Clapper and Morell Urge Congress to Pass HPSCI Version of FISA-702 Renewal to Expand Domestic Surveillance.  "Speaker Johnson abandoned the competing same-day floor vote effort, and no one is sure where it goes from here; but that’s probably why the Deep State guys are writing a letter trying to influence Johnson on what bill to permit a vote."

The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great, Not ‘Trump the Dictator’ Again "The Left projects itself onto Trump, and understandably finds itself all too terrifying." Breitbart, Trump Crushing Everyone in Iowa Per Des Moines Register Poll and a Poll: 17% of Black Americans Support Donald Trump, Up 9 Points from 2020. At Da Caller, Poll Shows Trump With Enormous Lead Over Biden In Crucial Battleground State. Pete Van Buren at Am Con predicts What Will Happen in the Second Trump Term. "A look behind the rhetoric at the actual plans being hatched. . . . To start, Trump will certainly not repeat a mistake from term 1.0: He will quickly fill his political appointee positions with allies. This is what every new president does, but Trump was roundly criticized in term 1.0 for not filling the ranks fast enough and thus somehow endangering America. Probably never expecting to win, and not being a lifetime politician, Trump took office without a folder of thousands of resumes from party loyalists and think tank exiles looking for work." Will Pierce at Da Caller,  I Advised Bernie And Raised Funds For Biden. Now I’m Joining The Republican Party, "The main reason I am leaving the Democratic Party is its utter disconnect with the American people." Hat Hair KT sees Sununu Will Endorse Nikki Haley - and wonders Will It Matter? Nope. 

TownHall's Matt Vespa, Here's the Number of Mail-in Voters Who Admit They Cheated During the 2020 Election. "More than 20% of voters who used mail-in ballots in 2020 admit they participated in at least one form of election fraud. A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute finds that 21% of Likely U.S. voters who voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election say they filled out a ballot, in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child, while 78% say they didn’t." Steve Miller at RCI reminds us (again)  How Tax-Exempt Nonprofits Skirt U.S. Law to Turn Out the Democrat Base in Elections

Matt Taibbi at Racket sees the Tireless Busybodies Again Target Substack. "Substack faces another deplatforming campaign, triggered by a clarion-call from America's flagship of suck, Atlantic Magazine."
