DEVELOPING - Trump DC trial before election: As I reported yesterday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan today scheduled a hearing for August 16 in Washington to discuss the next steps in former President Donald J. Trump’s federal election interference case. Today is August 3, 2024, that’s in 13 days.

NOTE: At the hearing, Judge Chutkan will confer with Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office to outline how to proceed with the fact-finding mission ordered by the Supreme Court.

NOTE: The pre-trial follows the Court’s ruling granting former presidents broad immunity against criminal prosecution for official acts.

NOTE: Judge Chutkan will need to review the 45-page indictment, distinguishing which allegations can proceed to trial and which must be dismissed as protected presidential acts.

NOTE: What is likely to happen, as I noted yesterday, is that the judge will allow oral arguments to determine what is protected by the Supreme Court ruling and what is not. This could enable Jack Smith to call a significant number of witnesses, effectively turning the pre-trial proceedings into a trial before the election, and potentially even permitting cameras in the courtroom.**

Are Security Agencies Stretched Too Thin? Assassination Attempts and Olympic Attacks Scrutinized | International Reporters Roundtable | EpochTV

We’re putting security agencies under the microscope. Former President Donald Trump’s head turn at just the right moment saved a tragedy. A providential break perhaps, but clearly, something went terribly wrong inside the Secret Service. The Oct. 7th terrorist attack by Hamas was a catastrophic failure of Israel’s elite intelligence apparatus. And in France, another top-tier security force has proven unable to protect the Olympic Games, with coordinated terror attacks just ahead of the opening ceremony. With threat levels this high, it’s a question we have to ask: are security agencies up to the task?

Our guests Jon Loew, a partner at the Five Eyes intelligence advisory group; Clare Lopez, former CIA agent and current security analyst; and retired Lt. Col. Tim Wilson, distinguished fellow and Second Amendment expert at Project Sentinel, join us to assess the world’s security agencies.

High Stakes and a Simple Choice | RealClearWire
... I wrote this op-ed because of my love for America, not for any financial gain or advantage. I have been retired for 30 years and spend my time engaged in philanthropic causes, with which I have committed to share 90% of my net worth. I was born here and can give testimony about The American Dream. I lost my job and was broke when I was 48 years old. A dear friend of mine suggested that my misfortune presented a great opportunity to build a small business based upon an idea I had shared with him. Only in America, the land of opportunity, could being without a job and broke be a great opportunity. In 1978, my partners and I built four hardware stores, and this small business grew and is known as The Home Depot. We could only have done this in America because of America’s system of free enterprise and pro-jobs growth government policies. The state of America today, especially record inflation, government over-regulation, and the problems of the last three years, would prevent my partners and I from succeeding as we have...

...I understand the frustration of some of my Republican friends who do not like or are offended by things Donald Trump does and says. I, too, have been frustrated at times, but we cannot let his brash style be the reason we walk away from his otherwise excellent stewardship of the United States during his first term in office. Now is the time for unity to save The American Dream for future generations.

For these reasons, I endorse Donald J. Trump as the nominee of the Republican Party and as our next President. I endorse him not only because he has the best chance of winning the general election but because he is the best person to take on and dismantle the administrative state that is strangling America. The new war in the Middle East will present great challenges for the free world for some time, especially in keeping other terrorist groups or nations out of the conflict. This will require a president with the judgment, strength, decisiveness, and courage that Donald Trump displayed in his first term when he ordered the strike that killed the Iranian terrorist Gen. Qasem Soleimani and dissuaded Russia from invading Ukraine....

... I urge my fellow Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to put their love for America above all else. I urge the Republican National Committee to end the Republican debates that only benefit ad makers and political consultants. They are unproductive and embarrassing ...READ
