“And deny our First Amendment rights? I am not leaving,” the protestor, identified as Allison Polidor, said while still seated before she was removed, according to video (below) posted by NewsChannel 5’s Phil Williams. “We have rights to hold a sign. If you have to drag me out, so be it.”
As state troopers grabbed her and removed her from the room she shouted, “This isn’t what democracy looks like.”

Ms. Polidor fails to realize this is what our democracy has looked like for decades.

Handy tip for the rest of the defendants who haven’t yet posed for their mug shots – be sure to apply face powder to your forehead to cut down the glare.

Trisha says the puzzle pieces are all coming together.
This is the latest information from the AJC for those reporting to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta:
The bond agreements for defendants in the Fulton County Trump case so far have ranged from $10,000 for two defendants to the $200K set for Donald Trump. Here are the amounts reported so far (and a list of defendants that don’t have reported bond agreements):
Donald Trump: $200,000, John Eastman: $100,000, Kenneth Chesebro: $100,000, Jenna Ellis: $100,000
Ray Smith: $50,000
Robert Cheeley: $50,000
Michael Roman: $50,000
David Shafer: $75,000
Shawn Still: $10,000 (signature bond)
Stephen Lee: $75,000
Cathleen Latham: $75,000
Scott Hall: $10,000
There are seven defendants so far who don’t have reported bond agreements: Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, Harrison Floyd, Misty Hampton, Trevian Kutti, Sidney Powell.
Who has surrendered to Fulton County jail and been released on bond: John Eastman, Scott Hall, David Shafer, Cathleen Latham.
The last two turn themselves in at 2:30am this morning. That means Cathy Latham had the opportunity to meet some unusual females that normally do not show up in her neighborhood.
Kenneth Chesebro and Atlanta attorney Ray Smith turned themselves in this morning.
PS Rudy still does not have a lawyer, but he is flying down to Atlanta tomorrow.

- U.S. District Judge James Boasberg provided Taveras with a public defender to confer with about the conflicts of interest Woodward had. On July 5, Taveras informed Boasberg that he was changing lawyers from Woodward to the public defender.
- Soon after, Taveras recanted his prior false testimony to the grand jury and implicated Trump, Nauta, and De Oliveira. The superseding indictment soon followed.
So, to me, a mere commoner, Woodward should be
sanctioned. He was clearly representing the interests
of Donald Trump instead of his actual client, Mr. Taveras.
It’s not a coincidence he changed his plea and likely
got immunity as soon as he switched to a different
lawyer - a public defender at that.

Plus, there is word that a Russian helicopter pilot or pilots defected to Ukraine. They were flying a MI-8 helicopter full of spare parts for the following aircraft Su-27 and Su-30M fighter jets. The operation was coordinated with the Ukrainian intelligence. The other 2 crew members of the Mi-8 were killed after the chopper landed somewhere in Kharkiv. The family of the Russian pilot was brought to safety.
Chopper and spare parts now in possession of the Ukrainian forces.

“Whether you dislike or like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning. They are going to come for you,” he added.
I’ll be sure to look out the peep hole before opening the door, if anyone knocks. All is quiet right now, but thanks for the warning.

Wonder if trump and Bolsonaro discussed selling presidential gifts…
From NY Times article:
In an interview, Mr. Bolsonaro’s lawyer, Paulo Cunha Bueno, said that whether Mr. Bolsonaro attempted to sell the diplomatic gifts is irrelevant because a government panel had previously ruled that much of the jewelry is Mr. Bolsonaro’s personal property, not the state’s. “It’s his right,” Mr. Bueno said. “It doesn’t matter.”
Some other experts in Brazilian law said that such expensive gifts are clearly state property and that Mr. Bolsonaro appeared to be in legal trouble. “To me, it seems very unlikely that the president would not be criminally charged for embezzlement,” said Miguel Reale, Brazil’s former minister of justice under a different president. Such a charge can carry penalties of up to 12 years in prison, he said. “It’s quite a delicate situation for the president.”
