House GOP says Manhattan DA, Judge Merchan Violated Trump’s Constitutional and Legal Rights
Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, released a report this week claiming that both the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and New York Judge Juan Merchan violated the constitutional and legal rights of Donald Trump.
Entitled “Lawfare: How the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a New York State Judge Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump,” the report is based on extensive investigations by the Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that peg Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan as acting in violation of the law with their pursuit of Trump.
After scrutinizing the 34-count criminal indictment against Trump, announced on April 4, 2023, investigators made the following discoveries about the legal and procedural defects in Bragg’s prosecution of Trump:
1) Bragg presented an unprecedented and unconstitutional theory of criminal liability that did not require jury unanimity on each element of the criminal offenses.
2) Bragg overreached into federal jurisdiction by prosecuting alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws, reserved strictly for federal authorities, with no intervention from the Biden regime to uphold federal interests.
As for Judge Merchan, the report identified the following anomalies with the way he handled Trump:
1) Merchan failed to recuse himself despite clear political bias.
2) Merchan imposed an unconstitutional gag order on Trump during the trial.
3) Merchan allowed admission of inadmissible, irrelevant and prejudicial testimony against Trump.
4) Merchan refused to allow former Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Bradley Smith to testify regarding the many complexities of the Federal Election Campaign Act.

Bragg and Merchan violated their oaths
Bragg, Merchan and the rest of the anti-Trump crusaders who participated in this witch hunt acted well outside the bounds of the law. Keep in mind that both Bragg and Merchan swore an oath of office to uphold the Constitution, which they failed to do in the Trump case.
“The findings emphasize that both Bragg and Merchan, who took oaths to support the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution, deviated from their constitutional responsibilities in their pursuit of Trump’s indictment and conviction,” reports Your News.
“Given the legal and constitutional errors cited in the indictment and trial, the report suggests that an honest review of the facts and law by appellate courts could lead to the conviction being vacated and the indictment dismissed with prejudice. This, according to the report, would help restore public trust in the American justice system. The Committee and Select Subcommittee will continue to oversee and address the broader implications of such politically motivated legal actions.”
In the comments, someone outraged about the revelations noted that you know you are “in a swamp full of alligators” when you have local DAs, in this case Bragg, deciding federal law.
“Now something must be done about this miscarriage of justice instead of just talking about it,” wrote another.
“That judge should be disbarred and put in jail for his corruption,” said someone else, adding that there are probably going to be a whole lot of people who retire before Trump is inevitably reelected back to the White House this fall.
“I want to see that judge sitting in prison,” said another. “Then put him in contempt-of-court solitary for a few weeks when he inevitably thinks he is the legalest person in the room.”

J.D Vance on Tech and the Internet
On Monday, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance was announced by President Donald Trump as his vice-presidential candidate for his 2024 campaign. This decision comes as Trump seeks to win back the presidency from President Joe Biden.
Vance, a figure that has seamlessly transitioned from the world of venture capitalism to the halls of US politics, brings a unique perspective to the ongoing debates surrounding technology and antitrust legislation. As a former venture capitalist and current Ohio Senator, Vance’s views are poised to significantly influence policy making in an era where tech giants face increasing scrutiny under antitrust laws.
This significant leap in Vance’s career could trace its origins to the early support of Peter Thiel, a major figure in Silicon Valley known for co-founding PayPal and the defense contractor Palantir, and for his connections with Elon Musk.
Following a brief tenure at a corporate law firm, Vance relocated to San Francisco to join Mithril Capital, a tech fund owned by Thiel, all while penning his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” His venture into the financial world of technology deepened when he launched his own venture capital firm in Ohio, supported heavily by Thiel. It wasn’t long before political ambitions surfaced, with Thiel’s encouragement spurring Vance’s senate candidacy by 2021.
Trump’s selection of Vance was announced via Truth Social, where he commended Vance for his notable career in technology and finance.
With Vance’s rise to prominence, particularly following his endorsement as former President Trump’s running mate, understanding his approach to these tech issues is more important than ever.
Vance’s admiration for Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan’s expansive view of US antitrust law was evident, suggesting potential policy directions in a new Trump administration.
Vance’s support of Khan highlights a split within the conservative movement, balancing a desire to reduce regulation with utilizing antitrust laws to address dominance, particularly in the tech sector. He believes these laws should not only focus on consumer prices but also on a broader competitive landscape. This perspective aligns him with other Republicans such as Senator Josh Hawley and Representative Matt Gaetz, who share this broader interpretation of antitrust objectives when it comes to the power of Big Tech.
At a Washington event in February, Vance articulated this stance on Khan: “She recognized there has to be a broader understanding of how we think about competition in the marketplace.”
Vance also said: “The fundamental question to me is, how do we build a competitive marketplace that is pro-innovation, pro-competition, that allows consumers to have the right choices and isn’t just so obsessed on pricing power within the market that it sort of ignores all the other things that really matter?”
His position indicates a readiness to challenge major tech companies, which is consistent with the antitrust actions seen during Trump’s first term. Under Trump’s presidency, the FTC and Department of Justice pursued antitrust investigations against major firms like Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Google, all of which faced lawsuits over alleged antitrust violations.
Vance has been vocal about his views on Big Tech, advocating for significant actions such as breaking up Google, as evidenced by his tweet in February criticizing the company’s monopolistic control over information.
“Long overdue, but it’s time to break Google up,” Vance posted, lamenting that “monopolistic control of information in our society resides with an explicitly progressive technology company.”
“I think that Google and Facebook have really distorted our political process, and I think that a lot of my friends on the left would agree with me, but they might disagree with me directionally about how to fix that problem,” Vance said.
Vance criticized the Biden administration’s collaboration with Big Tech to censor Americans, arguing that this partnership stifled necessary debates, particularly regarding the impact of school closures on children’s mental health and socialization.
During a Senate Republican press conference, Vance highlighted the human costs of such censorship, noting increases in depression among children who were unable to attend school and interact with peers. He emphasized the broader implications for democracy, questioning whether the real threat comes from the electorate’s potential voting preferences or from tech companies with ties to foreign interests collaborating with government agencies like the FBI to limit free speech. Vance asserted the importance of preserving public discourse on social media, which he described as the modern “town square” where critical national debates occur.
Senator Vance expressed concerns about a proposed Irish legislation, the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022, in a letter to Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason. Noting its impact on US tech companies, Vance criticized the bill for its vague prohibitions which he fears could suppress vital public debates, especially on sensitive issues. He highlighted that the legislation includes penalties for actions in public that could incite hatred, with potential impacts on discussions around immigration and gender definitions. Vance warned that the fear of prosecution under such ambiguous laws might lead citizens to self-censor, thereby undermining the rich tradition of free speech in Ireland and elsewhere.
Senator Vance has expressed skepticism for strong regulations against AI technology, arguing that such legislation would give more power to Big Tech incumbents.
“…Very often CEOs, especially of larger technology companies that I think already have advantageous positions in AI, will come and talk about the terrible safety dangers of this new technology and how Congress needs to jump up and regulate as quickly as possible. And I can’t help but worry that if we do something under duress from the current incumbents, it’s going to be to the advantage of those incumbents and not to the advantage of the American consumer,” Vance said during a Senate hearing last week.
President Trump’s vice-presidential pick brings a crucial focus on US tech policy and antitrust issues. Vance’s blend of conservative values and progressive views on corporate dominance and free speech positions him uniquely within the Republican party but it’s yet to be seen how his influence on Trump’s campaign and policy direction, especially regarding technology and censorship, will be important in their bid to reclaim the White House.

DJT Stock Sees 800% Volume Spike, Record Shorts DAY BEFORE Assassination Attempt
Data appears to show unusual market activity in former President Donald Trump’s stock, DJT, ahead of Saturday’s failed assassination attempt, prompting concerns about possible foreknowledge of the event and insider trading.
One trend highlighted on social media involved an “extreme disparity” in trading volume regarding the Trump Media & Technology Group Corp stock (DJT) on the Friday before the assassination attempt compared to the previous day, with shares traded increasing from 3.9 million to 35.6 million.
I may have found something potentially important.

Can someone please explain to me the extreme disparity between trade Volume and the Day High for Trump’s stock #DJT for Thursday, July 11th and Friday, July 12th (the day before the assassination attempt).
This is directly from… pic.twitter.com/6MYKUiDRd0
As X user @JoshWalkos pointed out, data provided by TMTG Corp. shows a day trading high of $15,638.32 on 7/12/2024 – a day before the failed attempt on Trump – with the previous day’s high only trading at $30.31.
“That Friday High has to be a mistake right?” the user wrote. “Even it is, the extreme swing in volume should definitely warrant further investigation. That is an 801% increase in one day. The day before the attempt on Trumps life.” [sic]
The spike in trading activity came as the DJT stock was being heavily shorted just one day before the assassination attempt, a bizarre anomaly noted on Wednesday by financial media outlet Finbold.
After an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which sent shockwaves through the U.S. political landscape, Trump Media (NASDAQ: DJT) shares surged more than 60% in the early trading hour on Monday before retracing by 20% to the valuation of $36.89 at the latest close on July 16.
However, a fact bound to raise a few questions is that short positions against Truth Social stock doubled between July 1 and July 12, going from 7 to 15 million shares, in what was a record of shares shorted for DJT stock since its trading debut.
Finbold noted, “This surge indicates that individuals or large organizations anticipated a significant drop in the stock’s value by July 15, a scenario that would likely have materialized had President Trump died in Pennsylvania.”
BREAKING: WHO KNEW THE HIT WAS COMING: $DJT SHORTS SKYROCKETED THE WEEK BEFORE THE HIT.

FOLLOW THE SHORTS: $DJT shorts went from 7M to 15M from July 1 -July 12.
They thought Monday morning Trump would be dead.

Since the attempt, interest in shorting DJT appears to have lessened.
“Looking at the current level of DJT stock short-interest, it has subsided substantially,” Finbold writes. “It fell to 11.27%, with 5,219,586 shares being shorted at an average coverage of less than one day.”
“This means that the stock is no longer experiencing high short interest, as it did last week.”
NEW: Soon-to-be unmasked entities bet that President Trump’s $DJT stock would plummet ONE DAY before the assassination attempt.

Interestingly, similar stock trading anomalies were claimed to have occurred just days before the September 11, 2001, attacks, with American and United Airlines stocks seeing a surge in put options ahead of the tragedy.
As investigators probe the apparent Secret Service stand down, attention at whether greedy corrupt insiders had prior knowledge and were planning to profit off Trump’s death.
