She’s a textbook conservative so no chance of running as a Democrat. Hopefully she’d run an independent and siphon off 5% or so of the Republican vote.

Will plead guilty on Thursday after reaching a plea deal. Likely serve 100 days.

What it does is that it implies guilt for the Trump family when their turn in court comes in October.

Also means he can’t plead the 5th, when he inevitably subpoenaed.
Bad news for orange people.

Two years ago Liz Cheney won her state by 40 points, yesterday she lost her primary by 30 points to a former Trump hater who rolled over and agreed to lie for him.

That is the state of the Republican Party.

"Two years ago, I won this primary with 73% of the vote. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump's lie about the 2020 election," said Cheney in her concession speech.

Allen Weisselberg pleads guilty to 15 federal state and local govt financial crimes and will spend 100 days in hard core Rykers prison.

Interesting, the federal crimes are yet to be examined. Mr Garland should take a look at that after the Trump Organization trial in October.



Weisselberg, who turns 75 this month, was charged in 2021 with conspiring with his employer, the Trump Organization, to evade taxes by concealing his income through off-the-books benefits such as a luxury apartment, private school, tuition, and lease expenses for two Mercedes-Benzes. According to the Manhattan District Attorney, the scheme deprived the federal, state, and New York City governments of taxes due on millions of dollars in non-cash income.

He gambled on the DOJ never enforcing the demand to return the stolen highly classified documents he stole, but Garland called his bluff. He is now under espionage investigation. I reckon that would affect my sleep no matter how much money I had.

If he was not worried why did he, as the NYT reported ''threaten'' Garland this week?

An open letter to Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairman of News Corporation and executive chairman of Fox Corporation

Dear Lachlan,

As you know, nearly two months ago Crikey published a piece of commentary about the sorry state of US politics, and the January 6 insurrection, that mentioned the Murdoch family name twice.

You responded through your lawyer with a series of letters in which you accused us of defaming you personally in that story.

Crikey is an independent Australian news website, launched in 2000, covering politics, media and public issues. We at Crikey strongly support freedom of opinion and public interest journalism. We are concerned that Australia’s defamation laws are too restrictive.

Today in Crikey, we are publishing all the legal demands and accusations from your lawyer, and the replies from our lawyers, in full, so people can judge your allegations for themselves.

We want to defend those allegations in court. You have made it clear in your lawyer’s letters you intend to take court action to resolve this alleged defamation.

We await your writ so that we can test this important issue of freedom of public interest journalism in a courtroom.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Beecher
Chairman, Private Media

Peter Fray
Managing Editor, Private Media
Editor-in-Chief, Crikey

"Trump is a confirmed unhinged traitor. And Murdoch is his unindicted co-conspirator"


Can't argue with that.

"And Nixon didn’t have the support of the world’s most powerful media company, which continues — even in the face of mountains of evidence of Trump’s treachery and crimes — to peddle the lie of the stolen election and play down the insurrection Trump created.

If Trump ends up in the dock for a variety of crimes committed as president, as he should be, not all his co-conspirators will be there with him. Nixon was famously the “unindicted co-conspirator” in Watergate. The Murdochs and their slew of poisonous Fox News commentators are the unindicted co-conspirators of this continuing continuing crisis."


Can't argue with that.

The Orange sends his best to Washington.

Asked to clarify his puzzling remarks about "enough trees already",… Herschel Walker said: "Trees? Look,... there are no bones in ice cream, as I have said, religious or otherwise, regardless of shoe size. In fact, I like toasters."

Walker went on to say, "And another thing. Gravity is just a theory. That's why it's called 'The Theory of Gravity'. That don't make it real just cuz they got this theory.

Crikey could get Lachlan's brother James as a witness for the defence. I am sure he agrees with the article.Wink

Bernard wants this fight bigly. Lachlan is taking the action claiming he was defamed, but Keane says he was talking about Rupert, not Lachlan and would love to have actual evidence presented in a court case.

Ooh, Malcolm Turnbull is saying nasty TRUE things about the Murdochs on radio right now. Rupert Murdoch is the biggest threat to democracy America has ever faced. The insurrection could not have happened without Fox. Like that. He doesn't sound like he's worried about getting a writ.LOL

Malcolm is a very vocal opponent of Murdoch, having joined KRudd in advocating for a Royal Commission into the damage they have done and are doing.
