Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report, released Tuesday, details irrefutable evidence of a criminal scheme by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election. The report, based on extensive witness testimony and investigation, reveals Trump’s awareness of the falsity of his fraud claims and his efforts to obstruct justice through witness intimidation and executive privilege. Rep. Jamie Raskin highlighted the report’s findings, emphasizing Trump’s months-long plot to subvert election results and the House Republicans’ role in hindering accountability. Despite the Justice Department’s decision to drop the case, the report underscores the gravity of Trump’s actions.

Shane Lamond, former head of the Washington Metropolitan Police intelligence unit, was found guilty on four counts, including obstruction of justice and perjury, for providing confidential information to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Prosecutors argued Lamond acted as a “double agent,” tipping off Tarrio about an arrest warrant, and subsequently lying to investigators. The verdict followed a bench trial featuring contentious testimony from Tarrio himself. Lamond’s defense claimed his actions were part of his job, but evidence revealed his personal support for the Proud Boys even after the January 6th Capitol attack.

Shane Lamond was found guilty on all four counts—obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements—for leaking confidential information to Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys.

Ryan Borgwardt, 45, is now in Green Lake County Jail after faking his own drowning and absconding to Eastern Europe. He initially claimed personal reasons motivated his elaborate scheme, involving a staged kayak accident and subsequent travel to Canada before flying overseas. Authorities are slated to provide further details at a Wednesday morning press conference. The extensive search for Borgwardt, costing taxpayers at least $35,000, may result in charges related to obstructing the investigation.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is trying to obstruct his sex trafficking case, prosecutors say, and the sheer audacity of it is almost… predictable. It’s the classic move of a cornered animal, fighting tooth and nail to avoid consequences. The expectation, however, seems to stem not from a lack of evidence, but from a cynical belief that wealth and connections can shield him from justice. This isn’t about the specifics of the case; it’s about the perceived power imbalance. The idea that someone with his resources and influence might escape accountability fuels a sense of outrage.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is trying to obstruct his sex trafficking case, prosecutors say, and many people are already speculating about potential pardons, government positions, or other means of escaping repercussions.… Continue reading
Representative Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress two days before the House Ethics Committee was to release a report investigating allegations of drug use, sex with a minor, and other misconduct. The report included testimony from multiple women alleging payment for sex and attendance at drug-fueled parties with Gaetz. While Gaetz denies these accusations, the timing of his resignation, coinciding with President-elect Trump’s nomination of him as Attorney General, has raised concerns about potential obstruction of justice. Lawmakers from both parties are demanding the report’s release, with some suggesting the Senate could subpoena it if necessary.

As an American citizen deeply invested in upholding the principles of justice and accountability, the recent developments in the case involving former President Donald Trump and Judge Aileen Cannon have left me not only frustrated but also deeply concerned about the state of our democracy. The fact that Judge Cannon, appointed to the bench by Trump himself in 2020, has once again stalled proceedings in a case involving the theft and mishandling of classified documents is nothing short of a travesty. The implications of her actions, or lack thereof, raise serious questions about the integrity of our legal system and the extent to which political biases can influence judicial decision-making.… Continue reading
The recent revelation that Trump valet Walt Nauta was promised a presidential pardon if he lied to the FBI is a reflection of the deep corruption that can arise when a President wields unchecked power. This case highlights the dangers of granting absolute legal immunity to the President, especially when combined with the ability to pardon henchmen and witnesses at will. The prospect of a President (or even a President for life) sitting atop a vast criminal empire, manipulating the justice system to protect themselves and their associates, is truly alarming.
The idea that Nauta would only receive a pardon if Trump wins in 2024 is not only a risky gamble but also an unethical proposition.… Continue reading
US Senator Menendez charged with obstruction of justice in a new indictment – the news that has been making the rounds lately, and rightly so. As a Democrat myself, it pains me to see a member of my party embroiled in such a scandal. The allegations of corruption and bribery have once again brought to light the dark underbelly of politics, where personal gain often takes precedence over public service.
Menendez’s defense of the situation – claiming that the loans were repaid and not bribes, that he was unaware of certain payments until recently, and that he believed them to be loans – seems dubious at best.… Continue reading
