Jonathan Turley: Zuckerberg fought for years to conceal his cooperation with government censorship until the Republican House Judiciary Committee forced his hand

 Zuckerberg is just another, you guessed it . . .

Zuckerberg's sudden regret only came after his company fought for years to conceal the evidence of its work with the government to censor opposing views. Zuckerberg was finally compelled to release the documents by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and the House Judiciary Committee. 

Now forced to admit what many of us have long alleged, Zuckerman is really, really sorry.

Jonathan Turley: The addition of Walz completes a perfect nightmare for free speech advocates

 Walz has shown not only a shocking disregard for free speech values but an equally shocking lack of understanding of the First Amendment.

Walz went on MSNBC to support censoring disinformation and declared, “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”

Ironically, this false claim, repeated by many Democrats, constitutes one of the most dangerous forms of disinformation. ...

The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the claim of Gov. Walz. For example, in the 2016 Matal v. Tam decision, the court stressed that this precise position “strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.'” ...

In her failed 2020 presidential bid, Harris ran on censorship . . ..

President Biden is the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. ...

Democrats now have arguably the most anti-free speech ticket of a major party in more than two centuries.

Jonathan Turley: This moment did not occur in a vacuum, it occurred in a time when our leaders long abandoned reason for rage

 

President Biden has stoked this rage rhetoric. In 2022, Biden held his controversial speech before Independence Hall where he denounced Trump supporters as enemies of the people. Biden recently referenced the speech and has embraced the claims that this could be our last democratic election. ...

As soon as Trump was elected, unhinged rage became the norm as with Kathy Griffin featuring herself holding the bloody severed head of Trump. ...

For months, people have heard politicians and press call Trump “Hitler” and the GOP a Nazi movement. Some compared stopping Trump to stopping Hitler in 1933. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) declared Trump “is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.” He later apologized. ...

The media has been quick to denounce reckless rhetoric from the right while largely ignoring the same language on the left. That included threats against conservative Supreme Court justices before the assassination plot against Brett Kavanaugh.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) went to the steps of the Supreme Court and called out Kavanaugh by name: “I want to tell you, (Justice Neil) Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” ...

This moment did not occur in a vacuum; it occurred in a time when our leaders long abandoned reason for rage.

Paraprosdokianism in the news: Colorado and Maine move to destroy democracy in order to save it

Do we really want another pre-civil war election, where one candidate doesn't appear, for whatever reasons, on the ballots of ten Democrat states, as Lincoln did not and became president despite 60% of the country wanting anybody but Lincoln?

Radicalism is in the air.

Please wear a mask.

 

 

 

 

 

Destroying democracy to save it: Maine shows the danger of zealots in our legal system:

Maine’s Shenna Bellows issued a “decision” that declared Trump an “insurrectionist” and ineligible to be president. She joined an ignoble list of Democratic officials in states such as Colorado who claim to safeguard democracy by denying its exercise to millions of Americans. ...

One columnist wrote that “Democrats may have to act radically to deny Donald Trump the 2024 Republican nomination. We cannot rely on Republicans to do it…Trump must be defeated. No matter what it takes.”

Joe Biden advisor Annie Tomasini inventoried Joe Biden's classified documents 20 months before Joe Biden said he discovered them, oops

 Jonathan Turley here.

Rep. James Comer, here, as of August 8th has a letter from a Penn Biden Center employee indicating:

• March 18, 2021 – Annie Tomasini (Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Oval Office Operations) went to Penn Biden Center to take inventory of President Biden’s documents and materials.

Jonathan Turley says the worst thing that can be said of Trump on January 6th is that he might have felt some satisfaction over a few hours of chaos in the Congress

 Which is not a crime.

Here:

If Trump supported a rebellion or insurrection, what was the plan? Not only did Smith not charge him with any such crime, but there was little evidence that even the most radical defendants charged were planning to overthrow the nation’s government or were part of a broader conspiracy. There were no troops standing by, no plan for a post-democratic takeover by Trump or his alleged minions. At worst, according to witnesses against Trump, there was a despondent and defiant president who may have gotten satisfaction from the chaos in Congress.

The 47% is back

 

LOL, VP Mike Pence found to have classified documents in his house

 Way to go, Brownie!

FBI, completely in the tank for Joe Biden, declined invitation to search Biden's home and let Joe's lawyers without security clearances conduct the search

 Abolish the FBI. Impeach Biden.

Jonathan Turley, here:

". . . there was no 302, which is the type of document that many of us use on criminal defense work. It is essentially the record created in criminal cases by FBI agents. So this was treated as a very informal interview."

"The fact is that by November 2nd, they had found highly classified documents," Turley said. "They did not know how many more existed. They did know that these documents likely had been transferred more than once, and that they had been out there for probably six years. So in the midst of all of that, according to the 'Wall Street Journal,' they were offered the opportunity to search the Biden residence. Now, why on Earth would the FBI not take that opportunity? I mean, what is the possible reason for saying, no, we're really not inclined to do that. You're embarrassing us. You, you go ahead and do it. It's bizarre. And so not only did they allow uncleared lawyers to look for highly classified information, but those lawyers then continue to find them over 60 days and the FBI doesn't seem to have done a thing."

 

Jonathan Turley is rightly upset by Nancy Pelosi's demolishing of decades of tradition

But she's a radical, a revolutionary, an enemy of America. Should we expect less?

The country hangs by a thread.

[S]he should resign as the speaker of the House of Representatives.

If you haven't been listening to Mark Levin tonight, you are probably panicking about the Michael Cohen plea for no reason

Mark Levin says the myriad talking heads out there, especially Jonathan Turley, have the Cohen plea all wrong. In fact, he says Cohen stupidly pleaded guilty to things which aren't crimes. The special prosecutor wants it to appear that there are campaign crimes involving Trump, but there are not. And because this is a plea, this isn't a finding of a court. So there is no effect, setting a new precedent. Cohen's plea comes to avoid more serious charges.

Levin even had the former head of the Federal Election Commission on to explain how there was no violation involved.

Good stuff.

Watch for the synopsis later, here.

Now all we need is Joe Biden to admit electing him in the first place was a mistake

Indictment of 13 Russians says interference efforts began in 2014, long before Trump was a candidate

Jonathan Turley, here:

Now, the special counsel and the deputy attorney general are saying that there is no evidence of knowing interaction of campaign staff with Russians interfering with the election. The paucity of such evidence follows a year of intensive investigation and the much heralded plea bargains with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and the expected plea with former campaign official Rick Gates. There is still no evidence of anyone “wittingly” or knowingly colluding with these Russians. Moreover, the indictment says that the Russian efforts began in 2014, long before the candidacy of Trump.

Liberal Jonathan Turley says Comey was describing his own conduct in strikingly unethical terms

Here:

Comey asked why Trump would ask everyone to leave the Oval Office to speak with Comey unless he was doing something improper. Yet, Trump could ask why Comey would use a third party to leak these memos if they were his property and there was nothing improper in their public release.

In fact, there was a great deal wrong with their release, and Comey likely knew it. These were documents prepared on an FBI computer addressing a highly sensitive investigation on facts that he considered material to that investigation. Indeed, he conveyed that information confidentially to his top aides and later said that he wanted the information to be given to the special counsel because it was important to the investigation.
