Trump’s Classified Document Game Has Been Destroyed by the Special Master.

My Declassification Was Eaten By A Dog.

Despite Trump’s repeated claims (out of court) that he declassified the seized documents, on Monday night, Trump’s legal team wrote to U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, who has been appointed as the special master to sift through the documents Trump stashed at Mar-a-Lago, and said that they did not want to disclose whether Trump declassified the seized documents or not.

Lawyers argue that if Trump were to reveal whether he declassified the documents, he would have to “fully and specifically disclose a defence to the merits of any subsequent indictment without such a requirement being evident in the District Court’s order,” which is an admission that the Mar-a-Lago investigation could lead to criminal charges.

Shorter Donald Trump: I want to see the government’s evidence before I’m indicted, but don’t force me to talk about it now.

Trump’s master plan seems to be failing spectacularly: Axios reports that Trump’s legal team suggested Dearie for the role of special master because they saw him as a “FBI sceptic” who would help the president’s case.

Trump’s legal team is already worried about Dearie, but his proposal for a rapid timeline for his study of the confiscated materials has further increased their concern. The plan is to stretch it out until late November. Dearie suggested that the review be completed by October 7th.

Dearie has scheduled a preliminary hearing for today in his Brooklyn courtroom. Josh Kovensky, of TPM, is also planning to attend.

False benefit brochures were distributed to migrants who were flown to Martha’s Vineyard.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) used Venezuelan refugees for a publicity stunt on Martha’s Vineyard last week. The brochures given to the migrants were full of false information, including promises of food and cash help.

Author of Popular Information Judd Legum was able to receive a copy of the pamphlet from the legal organisation in Boston that is representing some of the migrants, and it reads as follows:
Migrants claim they were promised jobs and lodging if they boarded DeSantis’ planes, and that they were not informed that they were being transported to Martha’s Vineyard.

As another part of the deception, a lady who called herself “Perla” is said to have enticed the migrants in Texas to board the aircraft.

On Monday night, the Texas sheriff’s office for Bexar County made public the launch of an inquiry into DeSantis’s plan.

Elections Would Be Safer After Bill Introduced on January 6th to Prevent Coups

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chair and a member of the House January 6 Committee, respectively, formally submitted the panel’s proposed legislation on Monday. This proposed legislation is known as the “Presidential Election Reform Act” (PERA).

The bill does a number of things, including ensuring that the vice president’s participation in the electoral vote count is solely ministerial, limiting the ability of congressmen to question the results during the count, and preventing governors from withholding election results from congress.
On Sunday, Cheney and Lofgren wrote a joint op-ed for the Wall Street Journal outlining the plan.
For a more in-depth explanation of the bill, please see the following fact sheet:
As Politico’s Kyle Cheney points out, the bill is identical to the Senate’s bipartisan proposed improvements to the Electoral Count Act, but the bill that the committee passed on January 6 includes more specifics:

After finding no evidence of voter fraud in Wisconsin, a fake election auditor is calling for a revolution.

In a speech at a local GOP event on September 9, former Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who is now the self-proclaimed “auditor” of his state’s 2020 election results, claimed that revolution was “the only way to keep an honest government.”

Gableman’s remark carried an evident undertone of violence, with the former justice declaring, “Thomas Jefferson said that the tree of liberty must be nourished by the blood of revolution in every age.”
Gableman sighed, “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

The murder conviction against Adnan Syed has been overturned.

On Monday, Adnan Syed was released from prison when a judge in Baltimore overturned his murder conviction, making him the subject of the popular podcast “Serial.”

Syed may have all charges against him dropped within the next 30 days if prosecutors decide to do so. Syed was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999 and sentenced to 23 years in jail.
