IN THE PITS: Trump fundraiser SHUT DOWN as organizer tries to rally at Miami Grand Prix
by Stephanie Bazzle
Donald Trump’s fundraising situation is more than a little iffy these days. He’s fallen behind President Joe Biden’s campaign in bringing in donor money, and his legal costs are eating up much of what Trump does take in.
Earlier this month, Trump put a lot of time and effort into convincing the public that one of his fundraisers had produced a record-breaking $50 million in a single night, earning heavy scrutiny that failed to produce any evidence the Republican candidate had actually done what he claimed.
Now, his next big event has been shut down. Anyone looking forward to giving Trump a quarter million dollars for the privilege of joining him at the Miami Grand Prix next month is in for disappointment.
Fox Sports host Andy Slater obtained a copy of the letter that was sent to Trump ally Steve Witkoff, warning against the event. The letter reads, in part:.......................................

Trump, back at Mar-a-Lago last night, said his New York Criminal trial "better damn well fall apart."
I think it was yesterday that Trump was crying about there being too too too many police around the
Courthouse and therefore his fans were afraid to come--so he goes to MAL and gets his fans!!

City Council calls for investigation of District Attorney Sandra Doorley

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Members of Rochester City Council have written a letter to New York State Attorney General Letitia James calling for an investigation into the conduct of Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley.
This follows officer-worn, body-camera footage of the incident was released to the public Friday, showing Doorley repeatedly invoking her position as district attorney and refusing to follow orders.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley drives home, calls chief before pulling over for police
“This incident has led us to question her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and we believe an investigation by your office is warranted,” the letter reads.
The letter also explained that as public officials, City Councilmembers and District Attorney alike are held to the highest standards of ethics, accountability, and respect for the law.
“The behavior exhibited by Ms. Doorley during the traffic stop, as captured in the body camera footage, appears to violate these standards,” the letter reads. “Such behavior undermines the credibility and integrity of our justice system and erodes public trust.”
All nine members of Rochester City Council signed the letter.

@WomanDefiner
Out of Monroe County NY. DA Sandra Doorley was speeding and refused to pull over. If you want to know what we are up against corruption wise this is about the clearest picture you will ever get. She basically tells the cop he has no power and she prosecutes her own cases so everything is a waste of time.
She's evil and people like this are making decisions that effect every single one of us. They truly believe the law doesn't apply to them. The original officer even warns his supervisor he's still rolling to warn him. A lot of weird stuff in this video.

A 'coat hanger' could unlock Mar-a-Lago storage room where Trump stored classified docs: Witness

The account was relayed to FBI agents by an unidentified aide to Trump.

A coat hanger or "very tiny screwdriver" could be used to unlock the Mar-a-Lago storage room where former President Donald Trump stored highly classified documents for more than a year, according to a witness in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation.
The account was relayed to FBI agents by an unidentified aide to Trump in January 2023, according to newly released exhibits, and further undercuts claims by Trump that the highly-classified materials he's accused of taking with him after leaving office were secured at all times.
The transcript of the interview was released as part of an ongoing effort by Trump and his co-defendants to make additional evidence gathered by Special Counsel Smith public.
Investigators were told by the witness that in summer of 2021 the storage room door had a knob "with a pinhole" that visitors could lock from the inside via a push button.
"Kind of like what you would find on a residential door inside of a home?" an FBI agent asked.
"So it might have a lock like that on one side of it then other side, rather than an actual place for a key," an agent added.

Yes, caring for others--is so important. I had seen this many moons ago but had forgotten it.
Great reminder
@DJM549845319274
"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
👉We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

One of my favorite Margaret Mead quotes:

As former President Donald Trump awaits a ruling on whether he will be held in contempt for violating his gag order, prosecutors on Thursday accused him of making four more violations.
The limited gag order, which was issued by Judge Juan Merchan ahead of Trump's hush money trial, prohibits him from making public comments about jurors, lawyers, potential witnesses, court staff and their families. It allows Trump to continue making remarks about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg, but forbids him from speaking about their family members.
"We think that it is important for the court to remind Mr. Trump that he is a criminal defendant, and like all criminal defendants, he is subject to court supervision and, in particular, this court's obligation to preserve the integrity of the Criminal Justice System," prosecutor Chris Conroy said last week.
Though the alleged violations were initially limited to Trump's statements on social media and his campaign website, the newest ones announced Thursday center on comments he's made in interviews or live remarks — some in the hallway just outside the courtroom.
'Thank you to Michael Avenatti'
In an Apr. 10 post on TruthSocial, Trump thanked convicted attorney Michael Avenatti for speaking out against Trump's gag order in a social media post that slammed adult film actress Stormy Daniels and his former attorney Michael Cohen, both potential witnesses. In Dec. 2022, Avenatti was sentenced to 14 years in prison for defrauding Daniels...............................

"Real embarrassment": Trump lawyer apologizes after judge called him out for "misleading" jury
By Charles R. Davis, 18 hours ago
It was a pretty good day for Donald Trump and his defense team. David Pecker, the former National Enquirer publisher, was seen by jurors as being a little fuzzy on the details of a key moment: an August 2015 meeting where prosecutors say he, Michael Cohen and the former president conspired to break campaign finance laws by cementing an agreement to "catch-and-kill" potentially damning stories about the Republican candidate.
During cross examination, Trump attorney Emil Bove pressed the witness on why he was now testifying that Hope Hicks — then-director of the Trump campaign's communications team — was "in and out" of that Trump Tower meeting when he had previously told federal investigators that she was not there. Bove then handed Pecker a document that the attorney said would refresh his memory.
But that document appears to have been more of a prop than a piece of evidence. After jurors left the room Thursday, and following objections from the prosecution, Judge Juan Merchan accused Bove of leaving the jury with a false impression.
"If there wasn't anything in that document, it's misleading," Merchan said, as HuffPost reported. "I'm going to ask you to be very careful with that."
When Bove sought to defend himself, Merchan cut him off. "Mr. Bove, are you missing my point?"
Norm Eisen, an attorney and CNN legal analyst, said that moment undid whatever good may have been accomplished Thursday from the defense's perspective.
