Trump Admits He Stole Classified Documents During Wacko Sunday Rally In Arizona

During a rally in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday that was held in the middle of a dirt field, disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump admitted that he did indeed steal classified documents before he left office.

Specifically, Trump told his supporters:

“I had a small number of boxes in storage… There is no crime. They should give me immediately back everything they have taken from me because it’s mine.”

In legal terms, what Trump said is considered to be a “summation exhibit,” which means the evidence came directly from the suspect. It’s a bit like being questioned by the police and flat-out telling them you did indeed commit the crime. At that point, all that’s left for prosecutors is the paperwork.

Legal experts were stunned by Trump’s admission of guilt, and they noted the Justice Department now has exactly what they need to indict, put on trial, and convict the disgraced ex-president.

Former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann, who served as a prosecutor during the Russiagate investigation, explained:

“This is what we call a summation exhibit. Proof from the defendant’s own mouth. And on video.”

Former special counsel Ryan Goodman echoed Weissmann:

“There is more than ample evidence to indict Trump for crimes listed in the FBI search warrant. The question will come down to aggravating factors for Garland DOJ to consider. Outrageous, open defiance of the law —like this — must surely rank high among those factors.”

Attorney George Conway noted:

“As I’ve long said, his pronouns are I/me/mine.”

The ball is now in Merrick Garland’s court. The time has come to charge Trump and let the country know the law applies to everyone.

WATCH: Jim Jordan Gets Nervous When Maria Bartiromo Urges Him To Impeach Merrick Garland

As eager as he usually seems when it comes to attacking everything President Joe Biden or his administration does, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) seemed to get more than a bit nervous when urged to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

Bartiromo, host of “Sunday Morning Futures,” told Jordan:

“The first thing that Republicans should do when they take back Congress is impeach Merrick Garland. What are your plans for Merrick Garland?”

The Ohio Republican replied:

“Well, you, you — they’re right that we have to look real closely at the Justice Department. And I think we may have to do some major changes. There may need to be structural changes at the FBI. I mean, you may need — the Washington field office has way too much power. You may need to disperse power around.”

Jordan added that he believed disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had been treated unfairly even though he lied to the FBI, which just so happens to be a felony:

“Because we know they went to set up Michael Flynn back in the early days of the Trump administration. So, maybe we need to deal with their funding.”

Set him up? He was asked questions and he gave untruthful responses. That’s a crime.

While he was at it, Jordan also suggested that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act shouldn’t be reauthorized because it was used to investigate possible collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.

“And then there’s also the impeachment question which I think the committee will look at. That will be a decision for the entire conference under then-Speaker McCarthy.”

The radicals in the GOP (which is now the vast majority of the party) have said ever since Biden took office that they plan to try and impeach him if they win the midterm elections. It’s yet another reason they need to be soundly defeated at the ballot box and never again given power.

FBI Source In Trump Classified Document Investigation Shot And Left For Dead

It sounds like something from a James Bond film, but it actually took place in Québec.

According to Radio Canada:

Provincial police have arrested a man in connection with the shooting in the parking lot of a hotel complex in Estérel, Que. on Friday, about 100 kilometres north of Montreal in the Laurentians.

The man, 53, is expected to appear by video conference at the St-Jérôme courthouse Sunday or Monday. 

Valeriy Tarasenko was injured during the shooting, according to Estérel Mayor Frank Pappas and Radio-Canada’s police sources. He is being treated in hospital for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, police say.

Pretty routine so far, until you find out that Valeriy Tarasenko had ties to a woman who pretended to be an heiress to the Rothschild fortune so she could gain access to Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach resort owned by failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump.

Mar-a-Lago, of course, has been the focus of attention from the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice since a search warrant was served there on August 8, unearthing hundreds of classified and top secret documents that the ex-president illegally removed from the White House.

And then there’s the woman who pretended to be someone else. Her name is Inna Yashchyshyn, and she thought it would be cool to take on a new identity so she could mingle with the rich and famous (or in some cases infamous) at Mar-a-Lago.

It was initially reported that Yashchyshyn was Russian, setting off alarm bells and suggestions that she might be working as a spy for the Kremlin. But she denies denies any such motive, telling The New York Post in September:

“What boils my blood most is people even thinking I’m Russian or a Russian agent,” she said in a phone interview, refusing to disclose her current location for fear of reprisals. “Russian people don’t exist to me since they invaded my country and killed my family and took homes.”

Not strange enough? Well, there’s another twist, and it’s a doozy:

In the months before the shooting, Mr. Tarasenko met with the FBI and turned over a host of documents and photos tied to an investigation into Ms. Yashchyshyn, her trips to the former president’s estate, and businesses she formed – two with Mr. Tarasenko – over the past seven years, records and interviews show.

Tarasenko was an FBI source. Was he one of the people who suspected Trump had classified information at Mar-a-Lago and reported it? If so, does that mean that either Trump or those close to him tried to have Tarasenko killed? Or was that done by Russian assassins?

Just when we thought the secret document scandal had reached the apex of bizarre, it takes a new turn that suggests more is yet to come.

Trump Cultist At Nevada Rally Proudly Declares Her ‘Love’ For Vladimir Putin

Failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is holding one of his Nuremberg-style rallies in Minden, Nevada, this evening, and judging by some of the attendees who spoke to the media, it’s safe to say that Trump supporters are a disgusting mix of hatred and anti-American sentiment, despite what they want you to believe.

One of those supporters was at the front of the line, waiting to be allowed into the venue. She’s what they refer to in Trumpworld as a “Front Row Joe.” These are Trumpers who are so maniacally devoted to the disgraced ex-president that they travel thousands of miles from their homes just so they can attend his rallies.

And yet they swear they’re not members of a cult.

Right Side Broadcasting was speaking with rally attendees, and they happened upon one woman wearing a sweatshirt that read “fake news is the virus.”

But it was what this unidentified woman had to say that’s most disturbing and disgusting.

“I love Putin. He’s a good, good president. Number two after president one, number two. I love him.”

Not terrible enough? Another lady claimed that Donald Trump is the nicest man in the world, making it sound as if she was referring to the messiah.

“I love him. He’s the kindest, gentlest man. He’s not a bully, like they try to say he’s mean. Just look at his children – they don’t smoke, they don’t drink. I mean, he did something right.”

His children don’t drink or smoke, but it sure as hell appears the oldest, Donald Trump Jr., is using some sort of substance, and it’s probably one that rhymes with coke.

These people need help, but they’re too damn entranced to know it. They need deprogramming, but they think the rest of us are the ones in a trance.

Voters In Marjorie Taylor Greene’s District Trash Her: ‘She’s Not Very Bright And She’s A Bully’

While it’s widely believed that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will probably emerge victorious in the upcoming midterm election, a report from The Guardian suggests that more than a few voters in Greene’s district are sick and tired of her being their congressional representative.

That’s especially true in the biggest city Greene represents, Rome, Georgia.

Julie Svardh, 49, an insurance agent, said: “I’m embarrassed to be from her district. She’s a national laughingstock. The things that she says, she doesn’t know basic words. She couples off with the worst people in Washington and is very annoying. She’s not bright and she’s a bully. She’s definitely not somebody you want representing where you live.”

How did Greene get elected in the first place? Svardh replied: “People blindly supported Trump in this area and so anyone who supported that person just got lumped in. People didn’t read a lot or really look at the details and see what people stand for.”

So why did Greene win in the first place, and why is she still popular with large numbers of her constituents despite the fact that she isn’t on any committees and really hasn’t done anything to help her district since being elected two years ago? Well, it has a lot to do with right-wing media such as Fox News, according to John Bailey, executive editor of The Rome News-Tribune newspaper.

Do you have reasonable people who don’t consume good information? A lot. I’m not saying these are dumb people, I’m just saying their information consumption is habitually bad.

“I have friends who are intelligent people but their information consumption habits have been bad for a long time. They don’t intelligently consume media. Top that on decades of ‘those politicians don’t care about us’, top that on ‘the media is looking for an angle’.”

Unfortunately, for every anti-Greene voter, there could be two more who think she’s the greatest thing in the world.

Cookie Wozniak, 77, said: “She’s a fighter. I believe in her, I have a lot of respect for her. She’s a real bulldog and a true patriot. I worry about our country being so divisive and they’re using the race card on everything. People want to destroy our history.”

Carla McFarland, 65, an air force veteran and retired nurse practitioner, added: “I have always been impressed from the first that I heard she was running. Nothing has changed my core belief in not only Marjorie Taylor Greene but the Maga [Make America great again] America First thought process.”

Seems that stupid may indeed win out over sensible when all the ballots are counted in Greene’s district.
