Jan. 6 Committee Says Trump Intentionally Misled Donors

Josh Marshall addressed this (with his admittedly non-lawyer credentials) in the editor’s blog. Wherein he made the case that if it can be demonstrably shown that all the evidence your people had and everyone around you repeatedly told you the “election fraud” was a lie, you can’t reasonably stick to your guns on the allegation and expect anyone (i.e. prosecution, judge, jury) to believe you continued to sincerely believe it.

For four years, we had a government of the grift, for the grift and by the grift. It’s just that simple.

Well now she’s selling meet for a MAGA meat company that lost its BBB, Good Ranchers.

“Throughout the committee’s investigation, we found evidence that the Trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for,”

Out here charitable fraud includes both (1) obtaining money, property, or services by means of a false or fraudulent pretense, representation, or promise in the course of a solicitation, and (2) representing that a contribution will be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which the charitable organization actually intends to use such contribution.

I doubt we’re unique.

I was stupid enough to buy some Trump Steaks for Mom and Dad when they were advertised in The Sharper Image.

Mom called me…she said they were the worst pieces of crap she ever grilled…and they tasted like dead elephant (GUESS WHAT WORD CAME NEXT!)

Knowing how cheap and sleazy Trump is, that bottle is probably filled with Night Train Express.

I must correct myself. I didn’t realize Gallo decided to kill off Night Train Express.

That means Trump really fills those bottles with Two-Buck Chuck.

Thanks to inflation, Trader Joe’s just raised the price to Three-Buck Chuck.

The Coda-like mention of the fake defense fund could have been missed since it wasn’t related to the other testimony- but I am sure glad MSM has picked up on this:

All-I-Care-About is Merrick Garland and his Justice Department charging this fat ass with wire fraud and any thing else; so-that-his-fat-ass can be convicted. (I have no interest in idiots losing a dollar of 250 million of them.)

“American wagyu” is such a clear hint that it’s a rip-off, but I guess the target audience has heard just enough marketing bullshit to think it’s something special.

Surely a clever class action lawyer can sue Trump and his campaign?

In my area, it’s been that price for a long time. Hasn’t been 2 bucks in years.

Like my feral cat there is nothing “normal” about trump. And that is certainly not a compliment. My cat is far more honest.

I heard folks would go down to the store, buy a bottle and open and try it out in the parking lot. If it’s any good, go back in and get a case. If it’s bad, pour it out and wait for another shipment/lot to come in.

Kinda funny hearing more media use the word GRIFT today. Nicole Wallace has been using it throughout her show.

These people constantly operate an interconnecting set of griftorama Möbius strips. It’s an autonomic function for them, as fundamental as breathing.

I’m fairly sure she’s always been selling meat. As for the rubes ever realizing they’ve been snookered: it doesn’t matter to them. We’re in a post-consequences world. If the cult was told to light money on fire in front of a personal home fattard shrine they would gladly do it.
