Trump lawyers who fought election results saw Thomas as key
By ERIC TUCKER and MARY CLARE JALONICK
39 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers who aided former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election regarded an appeal to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “key” to their chances of success, according to emails provided to congressional investigators and made public Wednesday.
The email exchange from December 31, 2020 shows the lawyers discussing ways to delay the certification of results in Georgia, a closely contested state won by Democrat Joe Biden. One lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, suggested that an appeal to Thomas, as the justice who handles emergency appeals from Georgia, could “end up being the key here."
“We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue some sort of stay or other circuit justice opinion saying Georgia is in legitimate doubt,” Chesebro wrote. “Realistically, our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by Jan. 6, which might hold up the Georgia count in Congress, is from Thomas.”
Another lawyer, John Eastman, responded that he was in agreement, saying that if Thomas were to act, “that may be enough to kick the Georgia Legislature into gear because I've been getting a lot of calls from them indicating they're leaning that way."
In the end, the Supreme Court wound up rejecting multiple Republican requests to intervene in the election and undo the results.
The emails were disclosed to congressional investigators as part of a long-running lawsuit involving Eastman, a conservative lawyer and an architect of Trump’s last-ditch efforts to stay in office, and the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Eastman, a former law clerk for Thomas, has been trying to withhold documents from the committee on the basis of attorney-client privilege claims. The committee has argued that there is a legal exception allowing the disclosure of communications regarding ongoing or future crimes. U.S. District Court Judge David Carter, who is overseeing the case, has mostly agreed, ordering the release of hundreds of emails to the House committee since the spring.
The emails were published by Politico. Their authenticity was confirmed by a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss the it by name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
Chesebro did not immediately return a text message seeking comment. A lawyer for Eastman also did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Last June, Eastman posted on his blog a Dec. 4, 2020, email from Virginia Thomas in which she asked him for a status update for a group she described as “grassroots state leaders.”
“OMG, Mrs. Thomas asked me to give an update about election litigation to her group. Stop the Presses!” the headline on the blog post reads.
Eastman also said he never discussed with either Thomas “any matters pending or likely to come before the Court.”

The documents were obtained by Missouri Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Eric Schmitt as part of an investigation he is conducting. The left-wing site The Intercept did the initial reporting.
THIS WAS A MASSIVE FASCIST EFFORT TO COORDINATE AND MANIPULATE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BECOME PUBLIC.
“Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election.“
THE CHINESE CCCP currently AND NAZI GERMANY historically did this same information propaganda manipulation. Instead of directly manipulating information, our government used the media to do it.
This is some serious stuff folks.
Did you read that this was started in 2018 by the Trump Whitehouse? Or did you conveniently gloss over that? I read the article and agree it is a dangerous path but don't blame Joe and the Dems for something that was started under a Republican administration.

Its part of the QtRUmplican playbook. Take credit for work you didn't do. Never provide links or sources. If it's bad or wrong then it was someone else's fault.

Hey bud....@rolemodelsinblood31 -- what do you think Trump was doing with all those top secret documents at maralago? Talk about serious stuff. Hoooboy...
Come on Juggler. Everyone knows he was hiding the documents that prove his Russian collusion. Try and keep up.
What do you think he was doing with them? I've tried asking this to every maga I can find over the last few months. Only real answer I got is from some guy who said he didn't know but that the fbi likely planted evidence. haha
I wonder why you guys are so scared of this simple question.
We may not know exactly why but what we do know is that the feds had previously inspected his stored records and were ok with it and just suggested he put a more secure lock on the door. There! Now you can sleep.
No...try again. They were "ok with it" because the attorney assured them that no classified information remained. Educate yourself for Christ sake.
Bingo.
Yep. And just like that he's gone. Yet another non answer to my question. They're literally afraid to even speculate about what Trump was doing with top secret documents after leaving the White House. lol
Months of me asking them this question and so far we've only gotten the feds were planting evidence, some how the FBI was okay with him having them, and my favorite: "BUT OBAMA." Literally nothing about what they thought he was actually doing with them. Speaks volumes.
The truth hurts. Just stir the pot, drop a bunch of nonsense & leave. Kind of on brand for the GOP - they truly don't care about the mess they leave behind.

All those so-called "HOAXES" are TRUE. (except for Jussie...) It ALL HAPPENED exactly as MSNBC reported it. If Trizzie said it, it's the literally the OPPOSITE. When he says "WITCH HUNT" he means "I FUCKING DID IT".
You left out the all true #PTAPE.

Good I hope the MAGA idiots will create havoc for Deathsantis supporters! There’s no way Orange baby will ever tell his cult to vote for the other guy.
tRump was on some podcast talking about the Pelosi attack....spewing all kinds of bullshit.
ALL of that right wing bullshit has been disproven (a simple reading of the fucking SFPD report) yet they continue on like the report doesn't even exist.
This morning it came out that there is actually security footage of the guy breaking the window (FROM THE OUTSIDE) but there was no security person actually paying attention so no alerts were made until Pelosi's call to 911.
Yeah I heard that part of podcast! What a total douche bag him and all his supporters are, he talks like he has all the inside info and they totally bite hook line & sinker. It’s utterly repulsive
That's the problem with the right wing news. Their "sources" bring up the bullshit and then never go back and correct anything. They just continue forward with the bullshit like the facts don't exist.
This country is totally fucked. We are too stupid to survive this.
Well that's the pot calling the kettle black! The left wing news is famous for cherry picking their facts but leaving out important details that provide actual context to the story. Gotta control the narrative!
The Jan 6th hearings are proving my point. After the FBI told congress that there was no there there they still decided to hold a partisan (Yes Kinszinger and Cheney are actually Dems) one sided showcase all so they could once again control the narrative.
Fox didn't air it because they knew their audience wouldn't stand for it. If their audience wanted to see it they could go to any of the many state run news channels.
Good I hope the MAGA idiots will create havoc for Deathsantis supporters! There’s no way Orange baby will ever tell his cult to vote for the other guy.
nope....it's going to be beautiful

Judge says he'll appoint monitor for Donald Trump's company
By MICHAEL R. SISAK
52 mins ago
NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan judge said Thursday he will appoint an independent monitor “to ensure there is no further fraud” at former President Donald Trump’s company, restricting its ability to freely make deals, sell assets and change its corporate structure.
Judge Arthur Engoron ordered an outside watchdog as he presides over a lawsuit in which New York’s attorney general alleges Trump and the Trump Organization misled banks and others about the value of prized assets, including golf courses and hotels bearing his name.
Attorney General Letitia James says the company is continuing to engage in fraud and has taken steps to dodge potential penalties from her lawsuit, such as incorporating a new, similarly named entity — Trump Organization LLC — in September, just before the lawsuit was filed.
Engoron wrote in an 11-page order that Trump and the Trump Organization “demonstrated propensity to engage in persistent fraud” and that appointing an outside monitor “is the most prudent and narrowly tailored mechanism to ensure there is no further fraud or illegality" pending the resolution of the lawsuit.
James, a Democrat, is seeking $250 million and a permanent ban on Trump, a Republican, doing business in the state.
Engoron, in agreeing to appoint a monitor, barred the Trump Organization from selling or transferring any noncash assets without giving the court and James’ office 14 days notice. The to-be-named monitor will be charged with ensuring the company's compliance and will immediately report any violations to the court and lawyers for both sides.
The Trump Organization must also grant the monitor access to its financial statements, asset valuations and other disclosures, must provide a full and accurate description of the company's structure and must give the monitor at least 30 days notice of any potential restructuring, refinancing or asset sales, Engoron said.
It's just the latest ruling Engoron has made against Trump or Trump-related interests.
While presiding over disputes over subpoenas issued in James’ investigation, the judge, a Democrat, held Trump in contempt and fined him $110,000 after he was slow to turn over documents, and he forced him to sit for a deposition. In that testimony, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers for Trump and the Trump Organization.
James’ senior enforcement counsel, Kevin Wallace, said at a hearing preceding Engoron's decision that they were seeking “limited” oversight and wouldn’t want the monitor involved in intricacies, such as how many rounds of golf or hotel rooms they were booking in a given year.
“Our goal in doing this is not to impact the day-to-day operations of the Trump Organization," said Wallace.
“The Trump Organization has a persistent record of not complying with existing court orders,” Wallace said. “It should not be incumbent on the court or the attorney general to spend the next year looking over their shoulder, making sure assets aren’t sold or the company restructured.”
Trump sued James in Florida on Wednesday, seeking to block her from having any oversight over the family trust that controls his company. Trump’s 35-page complaint rehashed some claims from his previously dismissed lawsuit against James in federal court in New York, including that her investigation of him is a “political witch hunt.”
Wallace said at Thursday's hearing that James' office is seeking to stop “fraudulent activities that are ongoing at the Trump Organization" and wants safeguards in place so that the company can't just sell off assets, such as Trump Tower and an office building at 40 Wall Street, that could eventually be used to pay a potential lawsuit judgment.
Trump Organization lawyer Christopher Kise responded that the company has “no intention” to divest those properties, which together he says conservatively have a value of at least $250 million. The "Trump entities are not going anywhere,” he added.
Kise argued that James' lawsuit was much ado about common, good-faith disagreements in the real estate industry. If banks that loaned Trump money felt he or the company had acted improperly, they would have spoken up, Kise said.
“There’s no problem. There’s no case here,” Kise said. “It’s mind-numbing that we’re going to have a receiver insert himself or herself into these complex transactions instead of the owner of this real estate.”
Engoron took issue with at least one aspect of Kise's reasoning, asking him if there was really a “good-faith disagreement” when Trump claimed his Trump Tower penthouse was three times its actual size, and $200 million more valuable.
As for the new Trump entity that drew concern from James' office, Kise said the company — listed in a New York corporate filing as Trump Organization II — had nothing to do with dodging potential penalties from James' lawsuit, but rather “consolidation of payroll issues that have arisen in other contexts.”
Kise didn't offer additional details. The Trump Organization’s payroll practices are among the issues being raised at the company's Manhattan criminal fraud trial, which was halted Tuesday and is expected to resume Monday after a witness tested positive for COVID-19.

I like that Ron and whoever else runs is forced to be Trump adjacent while campaigning and have to convince people they aren’t Trump, but still are kinda like him so they don’t alienate his base. Watch the creative wordplay when asked about Trump’s crimes and the “stolen election”.
I know, but "laughing gleefully" at desantis being the nominee? yikes. he's just a smarter version of trump. not sure which is worse at this point. But I think desantis has a better chance of beating biden than trump does.

Engoron, in agreeing to appoint a monitor, barred the Trump Organization from selling or transferring any noncash assets without giving the court and James’ office 14 days notice. The to-be-named monitor will be charged with ensuring the company's compliance and will immediately report any violations to the court and lawyers for both sides.
The Trump Organization must also grant the monitor access to its financial statements, asset valuations and other disclosures, must provide a full and accurate description of the company's structure and must give the monitor at least 30 days notice of any potential restructuring, refinancing or asset sales, Engoron said.
It's just the latest ruling Engoron has made against Trump or Trump-related interests.
While presiding over disputes over subpoenas issued in James’ investigation, the judge, a Democrat, held Trump in contempt and fined him $110,000 after he was slow to turn over documents, and he forced him to sit for a deposition. In that testimony, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers for Trump and the Trump Organization.
James’ senior enforcement counsel, Kevin Wallace, said at a hearing preceding Engoron's decision that they were seeking “limited” oversight and wouldn’t want the monitor involved in intricacies, such as how many rounds of golf or hotel rooms they were booking in a given year.
“Our goal in doing this is not to impact the day-to-day operations of the Trump Organization," said Wallace.
“The Trump Organization has a persistent record of not complying with existing court orders,” Wallace said. “It should not be incumbent on the court or the attorney general to spend the next year looking over their shoulder, making sure assets aren’t sold or the company restructured.”
Trump sued James in Florida on Wednesday, seeking to block her from having any oversight over the family trust that controls his company. Trump’s 35-page complaint rehashed some claims from his previously dismissed lawsuit against James in federal court in New York, including that her investigation of him is a “political witch hunt.”
Wallace said at Thursday's hearing that James' office is seeking to stop “fraudulent activities that are ongoing at the Trump Organization" and wants safeguards in place so that the company can't just sell off assets, such as Trump Tower and an office building at 40 Wall Street, that could eventually be used to pay a potential lawsuit judgment.
Trump Organization lawyer Christopher Kise responded that the company has “no intention” to divest those properties, which together he says conservatively have a value of at least $250 million. The "Trump entities are not going anywhere,” he added.
Kise argued that James' lawsuit was much ado about common, good-faith disagreements in the real estate industry. If banks that loaned Trump money felt he or the company had acted improperly, they would have spoken up, Kise said.
“There’s no problem. There’s no case here,” Kise said. “It’s mind-numbing that we’re going to have a receiver insert himself or herself into these complex transactions instead of the owner of this real estate.”
Engoron took issue with at least one aspect of Kise's reasoning, asking him if there was really a “good-faith disagreement” when Trump claimed his Trump Tower penthouse was three times its actual size, and $200 million more valuable.
As for the new Trump entity that drew concern from James' office, Kise said the company — listed in a New York corporate filing as Trump Organization II — had nothing to do with dodging potential penalties from James' lawsuit, but rather “consolidation of payroll issues that have arisen in other contexts.”
Kise didn't offer additional details. The Trump Organization’s payroll practices are among the issues being raised at the company's Manhattan criminal fraud trial, which was halted Tuesday and is expected to resume Monday after a witness tested positive for COVID-19.
