Nothing to see here, move along . . . A Chinese firm helping former president Donald Trump take his new media company public has been the target of investigations by federal securities regulators, who say the firm misrepresented shell companies with no products and few employees as ambitious, growing enterprises, documents and interviews show. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/12/23/trump-spac-deal-sec/

Right on brand.

NEW YORK, Jan 3 (Reuters) - New York's attorney general has subpoenaed two of Donald Trump's adult children, Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, as part of her civil probe into the former U.S. president's business practices and namesake company.
The subpoenas from the office of Attorney General Letitia James were disclosed in a Monday filing with a New York state court in Manhattan.
James has also subpoenaed Trump. Lawyers for the Trump family are seeking to block her from questioning the former Republican president and his children, the filing said.
Lawyers for the family were not immediately available for comment.

Maybe, just maybe, there aren't, "very fine people on both sides."

I've tried to avoid commenting on political threads on HoyaTalk since the 2020 election; those of you on this site who know me personally know where I stand with respect to the former President. However, when I read that Stephanie Grisham and her cohorts are now uniting in an attempt to stop Donald Trump, I get infuriated. Where were they for the past five years? They had their chance to oppose him long, long ago, and instead stepped back and did nothing. In my view, their sole purpose now is the rehabilitation of their reputation, not the protection of democracy.

Nothing related to the "Republican" party at this point has anything to do with the protection of democracy or the will of the people. We've been shown time and again that reelection is far more important to them than such silly things as voting rights/access to voting and the actual results of elections that they lose. 100% of it is serving themselves. Full stop. Nothing else matters to them.

Senate Democrats believe there is a good chance the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which would have major political reverberations ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Democratic lawmakers say they don't have any inside information on what might happen and describe Attorney General Merrick Garland as someone who would make sure to run any investigation strictly "by the book."
But they also say the fact that Garland has provided little indication about whether the Department of Justice has its prosecutorial sights set on Trump doesn't necessarily mean the former president isn't likely to be charged.
Given the weight of public evidence, Democratic lawmakers think Trump committed federal crimes.
But Senate Democrats also warn that Garland needs to proceed cautiously. Any prosecution that fails to convict Trump risks becoming a disaster and could vindicate Trump, just as the inconclusive report by former special counsel Robert Mueller's team was seized upon by Trump and his allies to declare his exoneration on a separate series of allegations.

Coming for the psychopath -- and another Black woman prosecutor. Going to drive Agent Orange crazier than he already is. POS. The Atlanta-area prosecutor weighing whether former president Donald Trump and others committed crimes by trying to pressure Georgia election officials has requested a special purpose grand jury to aid in her investigation. In a letter Thursday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) told the chief judge of Fulton County’s Superior Court that the move was needed because a “significant number of witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate with the investigation absent a subpoena requiring their testimony.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/20/georgia-da-seeks-special-grand-jury-trump/

So, "Republicans," you'll have to cast a vote blatantly in favor of undermining democracy and ignoring the rule of law. Not that that wasn't the case before but you've just been explicitly told that that's the case. I hope you at least take a second and realize what you're doing before doing it. Though, why you'd start now is beyond me.

President Donald Trump improperly removed multiple boxes from the White House that were retrieved by the National Archives and Records Administration last month from his Mar-a-Lago residence because they contained documents and other items that should have been turned over to the agency, according to three people familiar with the visit. The recovery of the boxes from Trump’s Florida resort raises new concerns about his adherence to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the preservation of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to a president’s official duties. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/07/trump-records-mar-a-lago/
