Yeah this guy is part of the Sidney Powell in Coffee County crew. It’s only four people charged in that part of the indictment so not too much room for flipping.

Charles Littlejohn of Washington, D.C., was working at the IRS as a contractor when he allegedly stole the former president's tax return information and leaked it to the press. "WASHINGTON — An IRS consultant was charged Friday in connection with wrongfully disclosing tax return information, documents that were, according to a source familiar with the matter, the leaked the tax returns of former President Donald Trump. Charles Littlejohn, of Washington, D.C., was working at the IRS as a government contractor when he stole tax return information linked with a public official "and thousands of the nation's wealthiest people, including returns and return information dating back more than 15 years," prosecutors said in court documents. A source confirmed to NBC News that Trump was the unnamed public official whose records had been leaked. CNN was the first to report that the charges pertained to the disclosure of Trump's taxes." "Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted, the Justice Department said in a news release."

In particular, on September 25, the defendant’s campaign spokesman posted a video of the defendant in the Palmetto State Armory, a Federal Firearms Licensee in Summerville, South Carolina. The video posted by the spokesman showed the defendant holding a Glock pistol with the defendant’s likeness etched into it. The defendant stated, “I’ve got to buy one,” and posed for pictures with the FFL owners. The defendant’s spokesman captioned the video Tweet with the representation that the defendant had purchased the pistol, exclaiming, “President Trump purchases a @GLOCKInc in South Carolina!” The spokesman subsequently deleted the post and retracted his statement, saying that the defendant “did not purchase or take possession of the firearm” (a claim directly contradicted by the video showing the defendant possessing the pistol). See Fox News, Trump campaign walks back claim former president purchased Glock amid questions about legality (Sept. 25, 2023), https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-campaign-walks-back-claim-former-presidentpurchased-glock-amid-questions-about-legality (accessed Sept. 26, 2023). Despite his spokesperson’s retraction, the Defendant then re-posted a video of the incident posted by one of his followers with the caption, “MY PRESIDENT Trump just bought a Golden Glock before his rally in South Carolina after being arrested 4 TIMES in a year.” They also bring Trump publicly calling for Milley’s execution directly into play here. Edit: In a foot note the government asserts that they could even meet the “clear and present danger” threshold if it applied. Murgos fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Sep 30, 2023 |

News happened while people were too busy posting about jizz. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/29/politics/jeffrey-clark-fulton-county-removal/index.html Long story short: None of the trials are being removed to federal court. Clark simply didn't have any evidence that what he did was part of his job, so the fact that it was a crime didn't even get to enter into it. Pretty much the same for the fake electors.

Kchama posted:News happened while people were too busy posting about jizz. I read the opinion on Schafer's request for removal and I think there is maybe something in it that's relevant for Cheeseboy's trial. Last week Chesebro's lawyers went on the lawfare podcast and made some mildly impassioned arguments that 'no one understands the electoral count act' where they posit that since the safe harbor date was Dec 8th and there was pending litigation on the 8th it doesn't matter that they submitted a second set of electors to congress on the 14th (when there was no longer any conflict) That after the 8th the ECA moves responsibility for determining which set of electors are proper to congress and the lawful set with the governors signature doesn't really matter unless there is a tie in congress. And he was just advising people of that anyway as lawyers do so no harm, really. However, in his ruling Jones states that there is no provision for 'contingent electors' in the constitution or the ECA and even more importantly that the constitution explicitly charges the STATE LEGISLATURE* with determining the manner of the elector balloting and their transfer to congress. This is in the context that thus the three republican electors can't be federal officers but also Jones states that indeed this makes them not electors at all, not even contingent electors since they didn't follow Georgia statute for either position. That is, Georgia law on who is an elector and more importantly who isn't and what is a proper electoral ballot and what is a fraudulent ballot and who is an elector and who isn't an elector and who can transmit an electoral ballot is supreme. Which, to me, seems to strongly infer that Chesebro, in advising his clients to ignore Georgia law on electors and bank on the supremacy of the safe harbor deadline (which is a limit on congress really and as such doesn't seem like a limit on the state) was advising his clients to commit felonies in Georgia. *"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress" edit: The above quotation I think also applies to Eastman's argument re: Pence. I think that since the choosing of the slate of electors is delegated to the state then congress has no authority to substitute a slate not chosen in accordance with the states laws regardless of safe harbor, or any other, transmittal deadlines.

It's even skeezier than that. As he was suing Deutsche Bank, the International Private Bank division within DB was the one who was working on securing a loan from who the fck knows which Russians for him.

I can't *wait* for those rocks to start getting turned over. There's been rumors for years that the only reason he existed financially was because he was in so much debt. Foreign actors could rope him in with offers to launder a hundred million here and a hundred million there for his cut off the top and they all knew he'd jump at the chance. If any of that starts to turn out to be true then the corporate death sentence for Trump Org. is the littlest domino in the meme.

I don't know how much was actually illegal vs just scummy. They covered one where a foreign company licensed the Trump brand, built a luxury apartment building whose sole purpose was for criminal groups to launder money by selling luxury apartments.

Since our big wet boy keeps ranting about the value of his company, it’s worth noting that he values his name at $3-billion as a brand. He can’t seem to understand why that vaporous figment isn’t being translated into a hard value (in the same breath that he says his valuations are worthless). He resides in this weird bubble, which is now colliding constantly with reality, and he has no clue what to make of it. It’s awesome.
