bipartisanreport--2020-12-23--Large Scale Defamation Lawsuit Filed Against Trump Campaign

Eric Coomer , who works as the security director for the Colorado-based Dominion Voting Systems company , which provides election management machines to areas around the country , has filed a defamation lawsuit against defendants including the Trump campaign and two of its top defenders , Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell .
Coomer has faced death threats after right-wingers spread unhinged conspiracy theories about his alleged involvement in imaginary fraud that many of the president ’ s supporters claim plagued the recent presidential election .
Folks have claimed that Dominion machines swung the outcome to President-elect Joe Biden , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whatsoever for this claim .
Besides the Trump campaign , Giuliani , and Powell , Coomer ’ s new defamation lawsuit targets conservative columnist Michelle Malkin , the far-right website known as The Gateway Pundit , Colorado conservative activist Joseph Oltmann , and conservative media outlets including Newsmax and One America News Network .
Coomer commented as follows : ‘ I have been thrust into the public spotlight by people with political and financial agendas but , at heart , I am a private person .
While I intend to do everything I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have few illusions in this regard , and so , today , I put my trust in the legal process , which has already exposed the truth of the 2020 presidential election.
’ In court cases around the country , the president and his allies have utterly failed to prove their allegations of systematic election fraud , with dozens of post-election court losses for Trump and the GOP , including from a slew of Trump ’ s own appointees .
Recently , every single U.S. Supreme Court justice indicated opposition to some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Texas-led lawsuit in which top Republicans , including the president ’ s own team , sought the invalidation of the election outcome in four states where Biden won .
Two justices said , unlike their colleagues , that they ’ d have heard the case — but they added that they would not have granted the Republican demands .
As for Coomer ’ s case , Oltmann ( the conservative activist ) once claimed to have heard a supposed “ strategy call of Antifa activists , ” the Associated Press explains , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually talking about , if any call actually took place , is unclear .
“ Antifa ” is not some kind of broadly centralized organization in any respect .
Nevertheless , Oltmann laughably claimed that “ Eric from Dominion ” commented “ don ’ t worry about the election , Trump is not going to win .
I made… sure of that.
” There is no legitimate evidence whatsoever that Coomer ever made these remarks , to say the least .
Oltmann ’ s allegations sound like an ignorant far-right fever dream — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread , and at one point , Eric Trump even tweeted about Oltmann ’ s claims .
The far-right One America News Network also spread the nonsense , and in one of his infamous public meltdowns , Giuliani called Coomer “ vicious ” and “ completely warped.
” Again — there is not and has never been any legitimacy to the nonsensical claim that Dominion voting machines or any other brand of voting machines rigged the election for Biden .
Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr , an agency of the Department of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the country have all confirmed that there ’ s no legitimate supporting evidence for Trump ’ s claims .

In court cases around the country, the president and his allies have utterly failed to prove their allegations of systematic election fraud, with dozens of post-election court losses for Trump and the GOP, including from a slew of Trump’s own appointees. Recently, every single U.S. Supreme Court justice indicated opposition to some of the arguments at the center of a Texas-led lawsuit in which top Republicans, including the president’s own team, sought the invalidation of the election outcome in four states where Biden won. Two justices said, unlike their colleagues, that they’d have heard the case — but they added that they would not have granted the Republican demands.
As for Coomer’s case, Oltmann (the conservative activist) once claimed to have heard a supposed “strategy call of Antifa activists,” the Associated Press explains, although what on earth that he was actually talking about, if any call actually took place, is unclear. “Antifa” is not some kind of broadly centralized organization in any respect.

The far-right One America News Network also spread the nonsense, and in one of his infamous public meltdowns, Giuliani called Coomer “vicious” and “completely warped.”
Again — there is not and has never been any legitimacy to the nonsensical claim that Dominion voting machines or any other brand of voting machines rigged the election for Biden. Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, and local election officials around the country have all confirmed that there’s no legitimate supporting evidence for Trump’s claims.

Instead, the two of them stuck to a hollow-seeming proclamation of well wishes for Americans — many of whom, based on polling, are apparently eager to see the Trumps leave D.C.
Thursday tweets from Trump alongside the Christmas video message help exemplify precisely why so many Americans are so sick of him — he posted a slew of utter nonsense, including a shouted, all-caps message in which he self-confidently proclaimed that “VOTER FRAUD… IS A FACT!!!” At what point would someone take his phone, at least in the name of national security?
I saved at least 8 Republican Senators, including Mitch, from losing in the last Rigged (for President) Election. Now they (almost all) sit back and watch me fight against a crooked and vicious foe, the Radical Left Democrats. I will NEVER FORGET! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2020
Twitter is going wild with their flags, trying hard to suppress even the truth. Just shows how dangerous they are, purposely stifling free speech. Very dangerous for our Country. Does Congress know that this is how Communism starts? Cancel Culture at its worst. End Section 230! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2020

‘We are delivering millions of doses of a safe and effective vaccine that will soon end this terrible pandemic and save millions and millions of lives. We’re grateful for all of the scientists, researchers, manufacturing workers, and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible.’

bipartisanreport--2020-12-24--‘The Lincoln Project’ Hits Trump With Christmas Eve Take-Down

On his way out of office , Donald Trump continues to largely ignore the real crises facing Americans across the country .
COVID-19 tolls are growing sharply , with well over 300,000 deaths across the U.S. since the start of the pandemic — and as the case counts and fatality rates continue to rise , Trump barely seems concerned .
Throughout recent weeks , Trump has seemed far more concerned with delusionally fighting against the election outcome and trying to convince observers that the election was plagued by imaginary fraud .
On Thursday — Christmas Eve — the anti-Trump conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new ad putting the impacts of Trump ’ s presidency in stark terms .
In the ad , a message on the screen characterizes the nationwide COVID-19 fatalities as “ Trump ’ s wall.
” Driving in the point , an artificially created image at the end of the minute-long video depicts a row of coffins lined up side-by-side in an environment as sunny as the southern border .
The ad shares the following grim message : Check out the Lincoln Project production below : On Thursday , as untold numbers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chaos wrought , in part , by the gross mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States , Trump went golfing at his Palm Beach-area property while staying at his nearby Mar-a-Lago resort .
Notably , the White House had just recently issued a public notice insisting that Trump ’ s schedule includes “ many meetings and calls ” — although they didn ’ t actually list any of these supposed meetings and calls .
In the past , Trump has faced criticism for his sometimes not-exactly-full schedule , and the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved in “ many ” meetings subsequently seems like a form of desperate public image control .
Recently , Trump insisted that he would veto the currently pending COVID-19 relief package , despite his personal almost complete absence from previous negotiations .
He complained about foreign aid that ’ s included in the bill , and he insisted that individual Americans should get checks for $ 2,000 instead of the planned $ 600 — but he has totally failed to offer any apparent meaningful follow-through on this aim .
Instead of visibly negotiating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s golfing .

The ad shares the following grim message:
‘America leads the world in COVID deaths. More than 318,000 Americans are dead: friends & colleagues; sisters, brothers, mothers, & fathers — 318,000+ bodies. End to end they would span over 331 miles. They would cross more than 5,830 football fields. Trump is building his wall — just not the one he promised.’

On Thursday, as untold numbers of Americans continued to struggle through the economic chaos wrought, in part, by the gross mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Trump went golfing at his Palm Beach-area property while staying at his nearby Mar-a-Lago resort. Notably, the White House had just recently issued a public notice insisting that Trump’s schedule includes “many meetings and calls” — although they didn’t actually list any of these supposed meetings and calls. In the past, Trump has faced criticism for his sometimes not-exactly-full schedule, and the public statement claiming that he’d be involved in “many” meetings subsequently seems like a form of desperate public image control.

Last night, the White House issued daily guidance, writing that the President is “working tirelessly” and has “many meetings and calls.” — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) December 24, 2020
Recently, Trump insisted that he would veto the currently pending COVID-19 relief package, despite his personal almost complete absence from previous negotiations. He complained about foreign aid that’s included in the bill, and he insisted that individual Americans should get checks for $2,000 instead of the planned $600 — but he has totally failed to offer any apparent meaningful follow-through on this aim. Instead of visibly negotiating with fellow party leaders, he’s golfing.

In the letters, Dominion demands that recipients preserve documents and copies of communications related to their company.

All of Powell’s election-related lawsuits have failed.

Outgoing President Donald Trump himself has pushed some of the nonsense about Dominion.

The election-related conspiracy theories from Trump and his allies are unequivocally false, which is why judges across the country have rejected the nonsense.

Jared’s dad Charles Kushner found out that his brother-in-law and sister were going to testify against him, so what did he do? According to CNBC:
‘The elder Kushner, among other things, had hired a prostitute to lure his own brother-in-law William Schulder into a sexual tryst, which was secretly videotaped, and then sent to his wife, the sister of Charles Kushner. The stunt was designed to intimidate Schulder from acting as a witness in an investigation of Kushner for making illegal campaign contributions.’
Tuesday, Trump handed out 15 pardons. There were those that went to four Blackwater mercenaries imprisoned for war crimes, several former Republican legislators involved in Robert Mueller’s investigation, and the aforementioned friends.

Recently, polling emerged from USA Today and Suffolk University indicating that, shortly before his exit from office, Obama was markedly more popular among Americans than Trump is at present. In new USA Today/ Suffolk University polling, a full 50 percent of respondents indicated that they believe that history will regard Trump as a “failed” president. In similar polling conducted shortly before Obama’s exit from office, only 23 percent of respondents offered the same estimation of the then-outgoing president. The portion of respondents who think Trump is “failed” is more than twice as high as the portion who said the same of Obama before he exited the presidency.
President-elect Joe Biden’s imminent inauguration will provide the United States with a chance to begin to move on from the chaos of the Trump era. Biden has already announced top picks for a slew of federal positions — and notably, this list does not include any glaringly inexperienced presidential family members, unlike the current president’s team.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-25--Devin Nunes’ Suffers Humiliating Court Defeat In Defamation Lawsuit

On Thursday , D.C. District Court judge Amit Mehta dismissed a defamation lawsuit that Rep. Devin Nunes ( R-Calif. ) brought against The Washington Post .
Nunes had challenged the publication in March over a story that he alleged misrepresented an alleged conversation that he had with President Donald Trump about ex-acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire , and currently , Nunes has a separate defamation lawsuit pending against the same publication over a November story in which the Post referenced a visit to the White House that Nunes made in 2017 while serving as chairman of the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel ’ s Russia investigation .
There ’ s no apparent particular indication of imminent legal success for Nunes , who ’ s filed over half a dozen defamation lawsuits , including a case against Twitter over parody accounts on the site going by “ Devin Nunes ’ Cow ” and “ Devin Nunes ’ Mom.
” Earlier this year , Judge John Marshall concluded that Twitter is “ immune from the defamation claims , ” observing that Nunes “ seeks to have the court treat Twitter as the publisher or speaker of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its allowing or not allowing certain content to be on its internet platform , ” a position that the judge said that the court “ refuses ” to take .
In other words , Marshall refused to hold Twitter legally responsible for the parody accounts .
Meanwhile , in this newly dismissed defamation case against the Post , Judge Mehta concluded that Nunes “ couldn ’ t demonstrate the Post acted with “ actual malice , ” or reckless disregard for the truth , a high standard for defamation cases waged by public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Forbes explains .
Nunes has an opportunity to appeal Mehta ’ s decision , but his team ’ s chosen course of action is not immediately clear .
Kris Coratti , a spokesperson for The Washington Post , said that the publication is “ pleased with the outcome.
” Last month , a federal judge dismissed a libel suit that the Trump campaign brought against CNN , adding to a long list of court failures for the president and his allies .
Referring to the Trump team ’ s attempt to prove @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of CNN , which is necessary for a successful claim , U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown wrote that “ most of the allegations in the complaint regarding actual malice are conclusory.
” Politicized assumptions can ’ t take the place of actual evidence in a courtroom .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-27--Trump Tweets Saturday Night Mega-Rant Like A Lunatic On Drugs

At times , it really seems as if Donald Trump is trying to start a civil war between his supporters and literally everyone else .
After losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections by 74 electoral college votes and over seven million popular votes , Trump has made use of his strategy of turning his supporters against anyone who isn ’ t “ loyal ” to him .
On Saturday , it was Republican senators , Supreme Court justices , and the Department of Justice he threw under the bus , and it ’ s sure his supporters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ugly chapter ” in our country ’ s history is not made up of fake “ evidence ” of voter fraud , it ’ s the undermining of democracy , the great democratic experiment of the United States torn to shreds , with Trump supporters fully believing that Republicans , Democrats , the Supreme Court , election officials and governors in every swing state he lost , judges in the federal court system , and vote counting machines all conspired against Trump to deny him the presidency .
None of the things that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collecting votes from dead people and undocumented immigrants – are remotely true .
As long as money keeps flowing into Trump ’ s political action committee under the guise of a legal fund to support Trump ’ s court cases related to “ voter fraud , ” none of which has made it through a judge in any court yet , he will keep pushing the lie .
Trump is motivated by fame and money , the people who support him be damned .

On Saturday, it was Republican senators, Supreme Court justices, and the Department of Justice he threw under the bus, and it’s sure his supporters will go after them.
The “ugly chapter” in our country’s history is not made up of fake “evidence” of voter fraud, it’s the undermining of democracy, the great democratic experiment of the United States torn to shreds, with Trump supporters fully believing that Republicans, Democrats, the Supreme Court, election officials and governors in every swing state he lost, judges in the federal court system, and vote counting machines all conspired against Trump to deny him the presidency.
None of the things that Trump is accusing everyone of – including collecting votes from dead people and undocumented immigrants – are remotely true. As long as money keeps flowing into Trump’s political action committee under the guise of a legal fund to support Trump’s court cases related to “voter fraud,” none of which has made it through a judge in any court yet, he will keep pushing the lie.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-26--Trump Trashes ‘Democrat States’ & Praises Florida During Saturday Rant

Donald Trump continues to push utter misrepresentations of the actual reality of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States .
As untold numbers of Americans struggle through the public health and economic effects of the chaos , Trump apparently wants observers to believe that , in some areas of the country , the situation isn ’ t all that bad !
In a Saturday Twitter diatribe against “ lockdowns ” that are meant to curb the spread of the virus , Trump claimed that “ Florida & others are open & doing well ” — but as of about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Floridians were hospitalized with COVID-19 .
Who ’ s going to cover medical bills for patients among that total who don ’ t have adequate insurance ?
What if some of those patients are missing out on critical work income because of their time in the hospital , while Trump himself unnecessarily delays the implementation of new federal unemployment support that Congress recently approved ?
Trump has complained about a new relief package — after Congress went through the turmoil of passing the bill .
The legislation is awaiting his signature .
While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump tweeted as follows : ‘ The lockdowns in Democrat run states are absolutely ruining the lives of so many people – Far more than the damage that would be caused by the China Virus .
Cases in California have risen despite the lockdown , yet Florida & others are open & doing well .
Common sense please !
’ In reality , on Christmas Eve — just this past Thursday — Florida reported a little over 13,000 new COVID-19 cases and 121 COVID-19 deaths , and as of the time of Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s number of total COVID-19 fatalities stood at 20,995 .
Trump ’ s notion that the state is “ doing well ” is just a gross misrepresentation of reality .
Trump ’ s complaints about the COVID-19 relief package that Congress recently approved include the notion that planned one-time direct payments to Americans of $ 600 are too small — but if he ’ s so genuinely concerned about the payment amount , then why is now when he ’ s publicly raising this issue ?
He had months !
Fundamentally , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a dragged out spectacle , despite the fact that members of Congress already came up with a ready-to-go relief plan .

As untold numbers of Americans struggle through the public health and economic effects of the chaos, Trump apparently wants observers to believe that, in some areas of the country, the situation isn’t all that bad!
In a Saturday Twitter diatribe against “lockdowns” that are meant to curb the spread of the virus, Trump claimed that “Florida & others are open & doing well” — but as of about the time of his post, over 5,600 Floridians were hospitalized with COVID-19.

While in Florida for the holiday season, Trump tweeted as follows:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger , an Illinois Republican who was first elected to Congress all the way back in 2010 , sounds fed up with outgoing President Donald Trump ’ s post-election behavior .

Recently, Trump has seemed keen to tout his supporters’ plans to protest in D.C. on January 6, when Congress meets to certify the electoral college vote outcome, and some of his supporters have pushed the idea that Vice President Mike Pence can throw out Biden electoral votes during these Congressional proceedings — but Pence “can’t reject any electors on his own,” Forbes explains.
Meanwhile, Kinzinger commented as follows:

On Saturday morning — a little over an hour before Kinzinger posted his message — Trump shared the following angry message on Twitter:
‘The “Justice” Department and the FBI have done nothing about the 2020 Presidential Election Voter Fraud, the biggest SCAM in our nation’s history, despite overwhelming evidence. They should be ashamed. History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th.’

Trump has already touted his supporters’ plans to protest in D.C. on January 6, but in this instance, he may have also intended to refer to the unrest among a handful of Congressional Republicans who have said that they’re open to challenging the electoral vote results when Congress meets to certify the total.
