Three out of four Americans say defunding police departments has contributed to the rise in violent crime across the country, according to a new poll. A Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 75% of surveyed Americans say that “the defunding of police departments” is “a reason that violent crime is increasing in the United States.” The survey reports that 49% said defunding police was a “major reason” for the rise in violent crime while 26% said it was a “minor reason.” Only 25% said it was “not a reason” for the spike in violent crime.
Experts have echoed the point that the defund movement leads to more violent crime, saying police officers fear a lack of support from their departments if they are involved in a fatal shooting. This leads to them avoiding more dangerous neighborhoods altogether.
The poll also found that two thirds of those surveyed believe increasing funding police would reduce crime, a key data point as lawmakers and local officials grapple with the rising violent crime rates alongside calls to “defund the police.” The poll asked respondents whether increasing funding for police departments ”would decrease the rate of violent crime in the United States.” Only 22% of those surveyed said it would not while the majority said it would. The poll found 36% said it would decrease crime “a lot” while 33% said more police funding would decrease crime “some.”The reality here is that Democrats can run away from this, just as they are running away from Covid mandates and lockdowns. But he proof is in the pudding here folks.
I know and have talked to cops back in Mpls who do not want to engage as they used to in a myriad of situations, for fear that some criminal gets injured and killed and they are facing consequences up to and including prison. While most will admit that there is a difference between what happened with George Floyd and what they might run across in other situations, you have police officers on leave and investigated during any shooting of any sort. Everytime they put themselves in a situation where they might need to confront a criminal, their jobs, freedom, and their even their life is on the line.
Is it any wonder they simply avoid these situations as much as possible?

AN EXAMPLE:
Trump Urged Staff to Violate the Hatch Act
February 13, 2022 at 12:04 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 20 Comments
Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the Washington Post of an instance in which she expressed concern to then President Donald Trump about violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in some forms of political activity.
Grisham said that Trump told her:
“Who’s the boss of the Hatch Act? It’s me. So say whatever you want.”
________
CH, and the rest of you, DO YOU NOTICE how many of the criticisms of Trump are coming not just from the Democrats, but from people who formerly served IN HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION?
THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES!!
IT SPEAKS TONS AND TONS AND TONS!!!
Nah Reverend. Rest assured whatever Trump issue is keeping you up at night has no relevance to me.
What I find amusing is that liberals have "finally" figured out that the Presidential Retention Act is not an enforceable statute in terms of actually "charging" someone. At best it could back up a civil suit if the archives believed that documents were being withheld. But the fact that these MORONS wanted the DOJ to "investigate" is just more proof that we need smarter people working in the Government.
We probably just need to fire every person appointed by a Democrat and replace them with higher intelligent people that are not liberal morons.
Then they could do their jobs without being obsessed with a former President 24/7.
More to the point - CNN's Jeffrey Toobin ACTUALLY argued that Trump should be charged with "obstruction of justice" for rumors that he "ate" his homework and flushed other stuff down the toilet!
LOL!!!!
So wonder Joe Rogan has about 10 times the viewership as CNN.

Graham becomes early player to watch in Supreme Court drama
By KEVIN FREKING and MARY CLARE JALONICK
Graham is among a handful of Republicans declaring a willingness to back President Joe Biden's nominee to the Supreme Court. Graham has been promoting U.S. District Judge Michelle Childs as his preferred choice to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The list of Republicans willing to support President Joe Biden’s forthcoming nominee to the Supreme Court “is longer than you would initially imagine,” the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat recently teased to reporters.
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin declined to name names. But it’s clear that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is near the top of the list.
Graham, who tethered himself to former President Donald Trump, is among a handful of Republicans declaring their willingness to break party lines and vote for the yet-to-be-announced White House choice to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
Whether Graham or any Republican ends up backing Biden’s eventual nominee in the 50-50 Senate will be a new test for the president’s long stated and rarely achieved ambitions to see Washington embrace a more bipartisan approach after the bitterness of the Trump era.
Democrats say obtaining a bipartisan vote is a top priority during the upcoming confirmation battle. “It will be great for the Senate. It will be great for the Supreme Court,” Durbin said after a White House meeting Thursday. “I hope we can achieve that goal.”
That effort will make Graham a senator to watch.
Whether Democrats can win Graham’s vote — and that of other Republicans such as Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — remains to be seen. Enduring bitterness over the way Republicans steamrolled their way to a Supreme Court majority under Trump is still a dividing line.
Graham has at times signaled a willingness to partner initially with Democrats, only to retreat to a partisan corner.
Graham led efforts in the Senate to defend Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump nominee for the high court, from accusations of sexual assault, and it was Graham who brazenly abandoned a promise to refrain from confirming a justice in a presidential election year. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he helped to seat Amy Coney Barrett on the court just days before Biden’s election win in November 2020.
But Graham also has a history of working with Democrats and has long said lawmakers should show deference to a president’s picks. He was the only Republican on the committee to vote for two of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominees. Graham also has voted against only a handful of Biden’s judicial nominees while supporting about 30.
“I’m playing the game different than everybody else,” Graham told The Associated Press in explaining his votes.
While some in the GOP have mocked Biden’s promise to nominate a Black woman, a historic first, Graham was quick to defend it. “Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America,” he said.
But there’s a catch. Graham wants the choice to be a fellow South Carolinian, U.S. District Judge Michelle Childs, and has said his vote will be “much more problematic” if it isn’t her. He calls Childs someone “I can see myself supporting — if she does well here” and argues that she could win the most GOP support.
“She has a hell of a story, and she would be somebody I think that could bring the Senate together and probably get more than 60 votes,” Graham said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
The White House says Childs, who had been nominated for a federal appeals court at the time Breyer made his retirement announcement, is under consideration even as some liberal advocacy groups and labor unions question her record.
While Durbin has not endorsed a specific candidate, he said he appreciates Graham’s strategy. “Starting off with one or two Republican votes is a good start for any nominee,” he said, adding that “Lindsey is and will always be an independent.”
Part of Graham’s pitch on Childs is that — unlike all the current Supreme Court justices other than Barrett — she didn’t go to an Ivy League school. Matt Moore, a GOP strategist who served as a consultant for Graham in his 2020 campaign, said promoting Childs also appeals to voters back home.
“There’s a certain amount of state pride seeing someone from South Carolina considered for the Supreme Court,” Moore said.
While Graham has supported many Democratic judicial nominees, he also has hewed to the party line in two critical moments — the first in blocking now-Attorney General Merrick Garland from even getting a hearing when he was nominated for the Supreme Court during the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency. Then, four years later, he did an an about-face as chairman of the Judiciary Committee and shepherded Barrett’s nomination through just days before the presidential election.
Those stands helped secure a 6-3 conservative majority on the high court, an ideological balance of power that will remain in place even after Breyer’s replacement is confirmed.
But it was Graham’s defense of Kavanaugh that stands as perhaps the senator’s defining moment. Graham erupted at Democrats during a hearing where Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school. Kavanaugh denied the charges.
Anger in his voice, Graham upbraided Democrats for their treatment of Kavanaugh in a viral moment that was celebrated by conservatives.
“Boy, you all want power,” Graham said, turning to the Democrats on the committee. “God, I hope you never get it. ... I hate to say it because these have been my friends.”
Now, there are signs senators want a détente. Mindful of the vote to come once Biden makes his pick, Democrats are reluctant to focus on the times that Graham has angered them.
“I think he’s looking at the merits of these individuals and their qualifications, which is to be commended,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who serves with Graham on the committee.
Democratic leaders also praised Graham this past week for his work on a bill ending forced arbitration for sexual assault and sexual harassment claims in the workplace. Durbin called him a “vital partner” on it. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was even more effusive.
“When he gets behind something, it gets done,” Schumer said. “So I want him behind more things with us in the future.”
Still, some won’t be surprised if Graham ends up opposing Biden’s choice.
Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono, a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee who has worked with Graham in the past, said “pretty much whatever Lindsey does, the back and forth and all that, no longer shocks me, which is too bad. Because I think Lindsey is a far, far better person than these kinds of flip flops indicate.”
Graham was first elected to the Senate in 2002, about a decade after the Senate had voted 96-3 for the liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court, and about 16 years after the Senate voted 98-0 for the conservative Antonin Scalia. Graham said the overwhelming confirmation of ideological opposites shows what has been lost.
“One is very conservative, the other is very liberal, but they were clearly qualified,” Graham said. “That’s the way it used to be. Now, it’s all about tribal politics and people are worried about primaries.”
If Obama had destroyed or taken top secret classified documents with him away from the White House, Ch would not have wanted the Justice Department to investigate him?
SORRY, CH. THAT'S JUST TOO, TOO BIG FOR ANYONE BUT YOU TO SWALLOW!

This is why WE SHOULD ALL BE GLAD JOE BIDEN AND NOT DONALD TRUMP IS IN CHARGE
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/13/ukraine-crisis-miscalculation-could-trigger-unintended-wider-conflict
This week, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new mission statement. Officials in the agency, which oversees visa processing and other key immigration and naturalization functions, scrapped the Trump administration's controversial statement.
"USCIS upholds America's promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve," the new statement reads. USCIS Director Ur Jaddou told employees in an email that it was more fitting of President Joe Biden's "commitment to an immigration system that is accessible and humane." The new statement comes from employee survey responses, in which USCIS workers proposed new phrasing like "innovation, welcoming, and opportunity."
That tone is a significant departure from USCIS's stated mission under former President Donald Trump. During his presidency, the agency spoke of administering "the nation's lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits"—all while "protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values." Trump's USCIS controversially omitted the long-present phrase "nation of immigrants" from its mission statement.

Ukraine crisis: miscalculation could trigger unintended wider conflict
‘Risk of something going down like a mid-air collision, or a trigger-happy Russian or American, can really escalate things quickly’
Julian Borger in Washington
Sun 13 Feb 2022 10.50 EST
The unprecedented Russian military encirclement of Ukraine has not only brought closer the prospect of a devastating war in that country, it has also raised the risks of triggering an unintended wider conflict.
The US and Nato have been adamant that their troops will not enter Ukraine no matter what happens, and the Pentagon has pulled out the 160 national guard soldiers who were acting as military advisers.
Biden on Saturday again called on President Vladimir Putin to pull back more than 100,000 Russian troops massed near Ukraine’s borders and warned that the U.S. and its allies would “respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs” if Russia invades, according to the White House.
Biden warns Putin: you’ll pay a heavy cost if you attack Ukraine
Even during the cold war, Washington and Russia made sure their forces did not clash, and Joe Biden has made clear he would seek to keep it that way.
“That’s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another,” Biden said.
However, the massing of Russian troops in Belarus and the deployment of a substantial Russian naval force in the Black Sea, matched on a smaller scale by Nato land, sea and air reinforcements on the alliance’s eastern flank, means there is much far more military hardware in close proximity than is normal. And with proximity comes the increased danger of accidents and unintended consequences.
“The risk of something going down like a mid-air collision, or a trigger-happy Russian or American, can really escalate things quickly,” said Danny Sjursen, a former army major and director of the Eisenhower Media Network.
“You’re setting yourself up for accidents and miscalculation, and that’s when you can get out of control real quick, because there are domestic considerations both in Russia and in the United States. An American pilot dies – now what? I’m not saying that necessarily means we go to cataclysmic nuclear war but it escalates things.”
The US national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told CBS News on Sunday that the US had sought to be transparent about its troop deployments in eastern Europe in order “to avoid mistake miscalculation or escalation and also to send a very clear message to Russia we will defend every inch of Nato territory”.
There is a long history of close encounters over the Baltic and Black Seas. Earlier this month US jet fighters scrambled to intercept Russian warplanes operating close to Nato airspace while British and Norwegian took off to monitor Russian aircraft flying into the North Sea.
While Russia has shut off large parts of the Black Sea to conduct its manoeuvres, Nato navies have stayed out of the immediate vicinity for now, while building up their presence in the Mediterranean. If they do decide to go through the Bosphorus in a show of strength, or to safeguard commercial shipping, the risk will rise again.
Elisabeth Braw, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said the danger is further heightened by Russia’s suspected use of “GPS spoofing”, interference with the navigational equipment of other vessels.
On several occasions recently, civilian ships traveling in the Black Sea have encountered mysterious GPS troubles that showed the vessels being in a different part of the Black Sea or even on land. It was widely thought the incidents were caused by Russia testing its technology.
“It raises the risk for naval vessels that are in the Black Sea, which we should remember is not that big, and it’s crowded,” Braw said. “There’s enormous shipping activity in the Black Sea, and so all those crews face the risk of having no GPS.”
The transfer of combat troops from Russia’s far east to Belarus has not only significantly increased the imminent threat to Ukraine, but also made eastern European Nato members increasingly nervous.
“The closest training ranges in Belarus are 150 to 200km from Vilnius or Warsaw,” said Kristjan Mäe, the head of the Nato and EU department at Estonia’s ministry of defence. “This is a Russian force posture that hasn’t been there previously.”
A refugee crisis at the Polish-Belarus border year led to a close encounter between the troops facing each other, with Warsaw complaining that Belarus forces opened fire in the direction of their soldiers.
“We have to remember that the people who are actually out on the frontline are very young men and women and they face enormous responsibility,” Braw said. “Yes there is a chain of command but if there is some sort of provocation or aggression, intentional or unintentional, that is directed against them, then they have to respond.”
The close encounters so far have occurred in peacetime. In the event of war, nerves will be far more on edge, communications could be hampered or flooded with disinformation.
“We cannot be entirely confident that in the lead up to or during a conflict that Nato and Russia will be able to communicate, especially as current civil and military communication systems between them are not as robust or technically resilient as they should be,” Sahil Shah, a policy fellow at the European Leadership Network, said.
“The world’s two largest nuclear-armed states have returned to the brink of conflict exactly 60 years after the Cuban missile crisis. If diplomacy is not pursued to the fullest extent, the risks of miscalculation and miscommunication could potentially pull in wider Europe into a devastating war. Without dialogue on how to manage de-escalation, it will be as if our leaders are running into a monsoon with newspapers over their heads.”

Roger, when do you leave to see the Super Bowl?
What kind of idiot puts down $13,000 to buy two tickets in the hopes "it will drive KD crazy"?
Just admit you fabricated your Story of actually going to attend in person.
IF I WERE A REPUBLICAN WITH AN ACTUAL BRAIN AND ACTUAL PRINCIPLES,
I WOULD NOT WANT DONALD TRUMP TO BE MENTIONED EITHER!
The Speaker of the House of Representatives said that you are full of shit....
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the idea of “defunding the police” is not the direction that the Democratic Party is headed, Politico reports.
Said Pelosi: “Make no mistake, community safety is our responsibility. I quote one of my colleagues from New York, Ritchie Torres, a brand new member of Congress way on the left, saying that ‘defund the police’ is dead. That causes a concern with a few in our caucus. But public safety is our responsibility.”
I didn't mention the former

Jordan Agrees Clinton Operatives Should Be Executed
February 13, 2022 at 1:14 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 75 Comments
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Fox News that he agrees with a Donald Trump statement in which the former president suggests Democrat operatives tied to the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign should have been executed.
Trump said that the actions of the Clinton operatives, as described by a Fox News report, “should be subject to criminal prosecution,” and at other times in U.S. history, “this crime would have been punishable by death.”
Said Jordan: “I think is right on target. This is truly unprecedented, truly something that has never happened in the history of our great country.”
NO, WHAT IS TRULY UNPRECEDENTED AND TRULY SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY IS DONALD TRUMP.
AND WE ARE FIXING THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.

Luján Says He’ll Be Back In Senate Soon
February 13, 2022 at 1:10 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments
Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), who suffered a stroke earlier this month, tweeted that he plans to return to work in “just a few short weeks.”
Said Luján: “I’m proud to report then I’ll be back on the floor of the United States Senate in just a few short weeks to vote on important legislation, and to consider a Supreme Court nominee.”
MORE GOOD NEWS:
Washington Post:
“Luján is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, so his absence would not affect the committee’s ability to vet the nominee and hold confirmation hearings, which probably would take at least two weeks after the announcement.”

Yet, Brandon says it's over.
The man we refer to as president, Joe Biden, evidently wants to continue this flagrantly illegal, unconstitutional, lawless policy. It's something of a state secret. Little news about it makes it to the people because of a media-controlled blackout orchestrated by Big Tech.
What else has this regime engineered?
While they have declared war on the citizens in the form of a pandemic that has carried on for more than two years, with disinformation, mandates and terror, we've been living a lie.
In that time, we were sold a bill of goods about the Big Steal, the "election" of 2020.
Now we're in the midst of the worst inflation in 40 years, a man-made supply chain crisis and more.
In November, we can look forward to what we would expect, under normal circumstances, a new election – the midterms. But the regime is still clinging desperately to power.
A recent poll shows the president is "incompetent," with 52% wanting him to take a cognitive health test and release the results. Only 43% believe him.
November's contest should be a slam-dunk for the opposition party. But how can we learn in time for the election of 2022 about the results of 2020 – so another steal can be prevented?
November 2020 was an election President Donald Trump and Republicans were expected to win handily.
But the results show something else.
Trump won a record 74.2 million votes – more than any incumbent president in history, far more than he received in the 2016 election.
The Truth About Sasha Obama Is Really No Secret Anymore
The Ghislaine Maxwell Debacle Just Took A Big Turn
Biden, who never spoke to a major crowd, never said any coherent, never told the truth about what he would do if elected, somehow got more than 81.2 million "votes" – far more than any predecessor. Some states showed more voters than those eligible. It was a farce!
That's why most Americans, despite the propaganda, don't believe it. The election is still being challenged in six states. But, again, the media keep it a state secret. Many news sources, including this one, have been permanently demonetized, throttled by the rigged search engines and had revenues cut 90% by Google and the Big Tech oligarchs.
The Democrats are thugs. They are ruthless. They will not admit what they did. Having rigged the elections, they want to steal another one.
This is why America is stumbling along into the most dangerous waters it has ever faced, after 256 years as the freest nation in history.
Will we survive? It's an open question.
Do we accept that we are in a war – that we are facing our biggest challenge ever? Are we prepared?
We are up against fascism today. I never thought I would see this coming in my lifetime. I've warned about it, but I never believed it, really, truly.
There is so much on our plate to deal with. We facing a time of so many existential crises at once.
What's the solution?
It's certainly above my pay grade.
But I would emphasize to all those reading this that I still have faith in God above.
Yes, God is watching. He is listening to us. He is merciful and .
Just remember this – from the Apostle Paul:
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed."
– 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

The Ukraine crisis entered a new state of intensity over the weekend, as the U.S. warned that movement by Russian troops — now numbering well over 100,000 along the Ukrainian border — and unspecified intelligence has led Washington to believe Moscow is on the brink of an invasion.
“We are in the window. And an invasion could begin — a major military action could begin — by Russia, in Ukraine, any day now,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday on CNN.
But it’s not just Russian troop movements that are setting off alarm bells. A large naval buildup in the Black and Mediterranean seas has created another threat to Ukraine near Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia invaded and annexed in 2014.
“This is an unprecedented Russian naval presence,” Andrii Klymenko of Ukraine’s Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies told Yahoo News via a translator, adding that 12 landing ships had appeared in the Black Sea on Friday. Such a concentration, he said, hasn’t been seen since the Cold War ended three decades ago.
This is why I am glad that Sleepy Joe is in charge
God you are stupid, Roger.
The reason things are escalating over this is "BECAUSE" of Sleepy Joe. Unless you want Russia invading Ukraine and will be "glad" about it, your statement makes no sense whatsoever.
He is a nearly 80 year old man who probably has trouble wiping his own butt. You think he is the savior of the world.
Ukraine President said there is no crisis, to Russian threat.
Better get going Roger, game time nears.
If Obama had destroyed or taken top secret classified documents with him away from the White House, Ch would not have wanted the Justice Department to investigate him?
What part of "this a not criminal statute" do you not understand, Reverend?
Just curious....
You do understand (or maybe you don't) that the Department of Justice is limited to investigating Federal Crimes, not unenforceable executive order statutes.
Perhaps the Reverend missed the part where pretty much every President going back to Carter had not provided everything for retention by the end of their term. But once again, the only time things like this become a big deal is if the "bad orange man" does it.
Reality Reverend... you would have to pass a law (not an executive order) that made the statute criminal and provided criminal penalties for violation (of which there are none today). Then, you could only charge "the next" President for those actions (if you criminalize them) - because you cannot create a new law and go back in time and charge people for previous actions.
Again... I remember that you VOTED and supported Hillary for President who actually broke real criminal statutes by keeping her own electronic server and storing classified documents on it, as well as using an unauthorized cell phone to access classified documents while in foreign areas (putting those classified documents at risk of being hacked).
These were real laws and they didn't charge Clinton because she convinced the DOJ that she just didn't understand the law. She declared (under oath no less) that she thought that the classified document marker (a red C) was actually a marker for multiple page documents... which suggested she just believed she had continuously lost part A and part B over and over.
I don't recall you believe that was a big deal. You thought she was still qualified to be President. Sort of hard to argue NOW that Trump should be charged with retention issues (that has no criminal statute attached to it).
And btw... has anyone actually "proven" that anything was actually considered top secret? The worst I had heard was that he had some notes from conversation with world leaders (which would not be considered classified US documents). Which btw... 99.9% of our Classified Documents are electronic in current times.
Looking @ CNN, AND, CBS and other Business web sites a word is showing up more often "Recession".
Also their concern for unchecked inflation.
Just wait until those Jan, Feb, March of 2021 low inflation numbers are replaced with high 2022 numbers.
FIFO.
Watergate phase two?
CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Kinzinger if Giuliani was being cooperative with the committee after The New York Times reported Saturday that the former attorney to former President Trump was in discussions with the committee about testifying.
"Our expectation is he is going to cooperate because that's the law, that's the requirement, same as if somebody subpoenaed to court," Kinzinger said. "There may be some changes and dates and moments here as, you know, lawyers do their back and forth. But we fully expect that in accordance with the law. We'll hear from Rudy."
C.H. Truth said...
Perhaps the Reverend missed the part where pretty much every President going back to Carter had not provided everything for retention by the end of their term. But once again, the only time things like this become a big deal is if the "bad orange man" does it.

He can't be charged for that but he should not have done it

Why lie ?

Cd.
Sometimes, even con artists get a conscious.
Rudy Giuliani, one of the most active proponents of former President Trump’s Big Lie, is reportedly in discussions with the Jan. 6 Select Committee about testifying, according to the New York Times.
The Times notes that it’s unclear what Giuliani might provide and that negotiations are in flux amid the former president’s continues to attack the committee’s investigation in a series of rants.
Giuliani’s lawyer, however, reportedly signaled to the committee that he plans to take a less confrontational approach towards its requests compared to others in Trump’s inner circle who are defying the panel’s subpoenas.
The committee’s discussions with Giuliani, who was subpoenaed by the panel alongside other key players in Trump’s orbit last month, could potentially signal his desire to avoid a costly legal battle.
Additionally, Giuliani’s engagement with the committee could provide more obstacles for the House to refer him for criminal contempt.
According to the Times, Giuliani is still debating over whether to give investigators an informal interview or a formal deposition. Giuliani reportedly hasn’t determined how much information he might seek to shield from the committee by using claims of executive privilege or attorney-client privilege with the former president.
An aide for the committee told the Times that it had allowed Giuliani, who was scheduled to appear for a deposition last week, to reschedule it at “his request.” The aide said the committee was pressing Giuliani to “cooperate fully,” according to the Times.
Giuliani’s consideration of taking a less confrontational exchange with the committee contrasts former Trump White House aides Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon. Last year, the House voted to refer former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows for criminal prosecution for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the committee. Similarly, nine Republicans joined Democrats to hold Bannon in contempt last year for refusing to provide information to investigators.
Among his fruitless efforts to push the Big Lie, Giuliani spearheaded a scheme to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost. Additionally, six weeks after Election Day, Trump reportedly directed Giuliani to ask the Department of Homeland Security if it could legally seize voting machines in key swing states — but Giuliani reportedly opposed the idea. However, Giuliani reportedly asked the prosecutor in Antrim County, Michigan to hand over his county’s voting machines to Trump’s team in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Basically he has been granted immunity.
Durham just killed Hillary's 2024 comeback. Oh darn. More indictments sure to come.
