“Pressure is building on the Biden administration to put up records that may ‘indicate collusion’ between the Justice Department and state prosecutors in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan, with several Republicans at various levels of government seeking documents, including through a new investigation launched by West Virginia on Monday.”
“West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Trump ally, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request on Monday to the DOJ asking it to produce documents concerning an ex-DOJ employee’s transition to employment by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting Trump in the 34-count hush money case,” the Washington Examiner reports. Lol.
National Zero no longer copies and pastes other outlets’ news articles paragraph by paragraph verbatim for content (emphasis on “news” because we still copypasta from press releases etc) like we did for much of the first year and a half of our existence, save for specific circumstances where we analyze and break down others’ coverage. This however is just to point and laugh at this stupid bullshit. It might as well be a Fox News or Newsmax clip or Breitbart tweet to mock. Literally any American can put in an FOIA request. Of course it helps to be a lawyer when navigating the Kafkaesque red tape of the system, but it’s not a requirement. There are undoubtedly hundreds of hours of YouTube videos and online courses out there on how to properly file them.
Yet this article makes it sound like Morrissey – a hardcore Trump ballsucker running in Tuesday’s West Virginia gubernatorial primary – is firing off a subpoena to the Biden Justice Department to compel them to produce the information about the hiring of a prosecutor in a trial that is probably a week or two at most from jury deliberations. As much as we mock Jim Jordan’s impotence, at least he actually has that power as Judiciary chairman. Morrissey doesn’t have shit and the Washington Examiner just runs this stupid “article” as a free press release for him on primary election day. “We need to get to the bottom of this political prosecution of a former president who is on track to defeat the incumbent in November,” the Examiner quotes from a statement to them from Morrisey.
In related news, fat former President Trump began his Tuesday screaming on Truth Social again, this time posting that “The problem is that this Judge, Merchan, is TOTALLY COMPROMISED, CONFLICTED, AND CORRUPT, MAKING BIG MONEY OFF OF THIS SCAM AND ITS OUTCOME. He can’t render a fair decision, too much is at stake for him and the Democrats. The Appellate Division should remove him immediately!” which sure sounds like a defendant who thinks he’s going to lose.
