I only half left, because you only half won. It's not over. The photo-finish shot isn't in yet. I'd say if the forensic audits don't eject Biden and Co. from the White House, then it's decided, but not until then. I demand full discovery. -

Rudy Giuliani's D.C. law license suspended
Caroline Linton
A District of Columbia court on Wednesday suspended the D.C. law license of Rudy Giuliani, following a similar move by a New York court last month. The D.C. Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that Giuliani, who used to be former President Trump's personal attorney, would be "suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia," pending the resolution of the "disciplinary matter in New York."
On June 24, a New York appeals court ruled that there was "uncontroverted evidence" that Giuliani had "communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large" in the course of his efforts to overturn former President Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election.
"The seriousness of respondent's uncontroverted misconduct cannot be overstated," the New York court said in the 33-page decision. "This country is being torn apart by continued attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and of our current president, Joseph R. Biden. The hallmark of our democracy is predicated on free and fair elections. False statements intended to foment a loss of confidence in our elections and resulting loss of confidence in government generally damage the proper functioning of a free society."
Giuliani's lawyers called the New York decision "unprecedented" and said they believed he would be eventually be reinstated.
From 1983 until 1989, he served as the top federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, and was elected New York City mayor in 1993, after losing a previous bid. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he was hailed as "America's mayor" and even ran for president in 2008.
Amid special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation in 2018, Giuliani joined Mr. Trump's personal legal team. Although he did not argue in either of the former president's impeachment trials, he was a key figure in both. His own actions regarding Ukraine on behalf of Mr. Trump were heavily scrutinized in the first impeachment trial, and in the second, Giuliani also a potential witness because he was a speaker at the January 6 Trump rally that preceded the assault on the Capitol. Following the 2020 election, Giuliani was among the most vocal Trump lawyers fighting to overturn the election results. He held a press conference shortly after President Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, in which he alleged that ballots were tampered with in Pennsylvania, though he had no evidence.
While Giuliani and the former president continued to claim until the January 6 attack that the elections in several key battleground states were rife with fraud, they failed to produce any evidence to support their allegations and suffered a string of defeats in federal court.
Giuliani is now under investigation for by federal investigators for his dealings in Ukraine. In April, federal agents executed a search warrant at Giuliani's residence in New York as part of the probe. -

Richard Ruelas, Arizona Republic
A federal judge denied a request Monday to release from custody Jake Angeli, the Phoenix man whose elaborate tattoos, face paint and horned fur hat made him one of the signature figures of the Jan. 6 raid on the U.S. Capitol.
Judge Royce Lamberth said in his ruling that he heard no new information in a hearing last week that would compel him to revisit his March order that Angeli be held while awaiting trial on six federal charges relating to the incursion on the Capitol.
On Jan. 6., Congress was meeting in a joint session, presided over by then-Vice President Mike Pence, to officially certify the election of President Joe Biden and the defeat of former President Donald Trump.
Angeli and scores of others stormed the buildings in what became a mob takeover that sent lawmakers scrambling for safety. Angeli, in footage captured by a journalist with The New Yorker, strutted into the U.S. Senate chamber, posed for pictures on the dais and left a note for Pence.
"It's only a matter of time," the note said. "Justice is coming!"
Angeli was wearing the outfit he had usually worn at rallies and protests in the Phoenix area since at least 2019: bare-chested and showing off elaborate tattoos, face paint and a signature fur hat with horns and tails that draped around his face.
Angeli also carried a spear and a sign that read: Q Sent Me. Angeli was a loudly vocal adherent to the QAnon conspiracy theory that imagined a government insider was posting cryptic hints about government corruption on obscure bulletin boards. At its core, believers thought the poster, known by the name Q, was hinting Trump was about to order mass arrests of world leaders for crimes against children.
Aware his image was being circulated by law enforcement seeking his whereabouts after Jan. 6, Angeli called the FBI the day after the raid. He went to FBI headquarters in Phoenix after his drive back for what he thought would be a continuation of questioning. Instead, he was arrested. His horned hat, which was in his car, was confiscated.
Angeli, who was charged under his legal name Jacob Chansley, has since been held in what his defense attorney said was solitary confinement, which has done damage to his mental well-being.
Angeli was transported to a Colorado facility in June to undergo a court-ordered screening to determine whether he would be mentally fit for trial.
Lamberth said that nothing presented by Angeli’s attorney, Albert Watkins, in his motions or oral arguments constituted evidence that would have a “material bearing,” the legal standard, on his decision to hold Angeli.
Key in that, Lamberth wrote, was his March finding that Angeli posed a flight risk because he has shown an ability to travel across the country despite not having a job.
During the hearing, Watkins argued that a new detail being given to the court was that many of Angeli’s relatives live in the Phoenix area, providing an extensive support system.
The judge wrote that he was not convinced.
“As (Angeli’s) family connections have not prevented him from traveling undetected in the past,” the judge wrote in his ruling, “the Court is unpersuaded that they will prevent him from doing so again in the future.”
In court, Watkins said that Angeli traveled to D.C. in a car with one other person and that an unnamed person gave him $500. Angeli, Watkins told the court, has provided the name of that person to the FBI.
Watkins also told the judge during the hearing that he had arranged possible housing for Angeli in St. Louis, though he didn’t want to give details about it in the public setting. But, Lamberth wrote, in the days that followed the hearing, Watkins did not provide him with any more details.
“Without information on the arrangements that have been made,” Lamberth wrote, “the Court is unable to assess whether this release plan would reasonably assure (Angeli’s) appearance as required.”
The report from the mental health evaluation of Angeli was expected soon, Watkins told the court last week.
Watkins has argued in court filings that Angeli has “mental vulnerabilities” that made him especially receptive to Trump’s political speeches, taking them as commands to act.
Watkins was more pointed in an interview with Talking Points Memo, saying that Angeli and other clients facing charges from their actions on Jan. 6, were “short bus” people.
“These are people with brain damage,” he said in an interview. -

Arizona's top elections official is calling for a probe of Trump and his allies over 'intense efforts to interfere' with ballot counting
kvlamis@insider.com (Kelsey Vlamis)
Records obtained by The Arizona Republic showed Trump allies contacting Arizona election officials.
"We need you to stop the counting," Kelli Ward, Arizona GOP chair, told an official during ballot counting.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is calling on Trump and his allies to be investigated over the reports.
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is calling for an investigation into former President Donald Trump and his allies over "intense efforts to interfere" with the counting of ballots in the 2020 election.
In a letter to Arizona's attorney general that was shared on Twitter, Hobbs urges him to look into reports that Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Kelli Ward tried to interfere with election officials, potentially in violation of state law. She said they contacted officials in Maricopa County, where a GOP-backed audit of the election was recently underway, to disrupt ballot counting.
"Local reporting recently uncovered intense efforts to interfere with the tabulation of ballots and canvass of the 2020 election in Maricopa County," Hobbs said in a tweet. "In Arizona, interfering with election officials is a felony."
Citing The Arizona Republic's reporting, the letter says Trump and his allies reached out to election officials during the ballot tabulation process "to induce supervisors to refuse to comply with their duties."
Hobbs notes an incident in which Ward, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, told the chairman of the board of supervisors, "We need you to stop the counting" and "I know you don't want to be remembered as the guy who led the charge to certify a fraudulent election."
The comments were made via text messages that were included in records obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Hobbs called for Attorney General Mark Brnovich to investigate these reports and enforce any laws that were violated.
"Arizona law protects election officials from those who would seek to interfere with their sacred duties to ascertain and certify the will of the voters," she wrote. "I urge you to take action not only to seek justice in this instance, but to prevent future attempts to interfere with the integrity of our elections."
Hobbs, a Democrat and vocal critic of the GOP recount in Maricopa County, announced last month she will run for governor in 2022. -

Just the whinging about a little oversight convinces me that your media jedis feel mens rea and realise the election was stolen, and are terrified about being found out.
It's like a murderer freaking out about the police asking questions. Why freak out at all if you have nothing to hide? Just tell them to stay out of your way.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
