Today’s political news - Part 7

The charity that was shut down for fraud?!?

Just a bundle of strange news....

While former President Donald Trump's Save America PAC claims that its donors will be "the Patriots who SAVED AMERICA," it has been discovered that much of the PAC's money is being used for Trump's personal expenses, including payments to his wife Melania Trump's fashion designer.
***
The Save America PAC released its financial disclosures for August on Tuesday, and Washington Post reporter Isaac Stanley-Becker noted on Twitter that the PAC listed an $18,000 payment to Herve Pierre Braillard for "strategy consulting." A fashion designer for multiple previous first ladies, Braillard has styled Melania Trump for a number of years, and helped design the dress that she wore at the 2017 Inaugural Ball.

The use of the Save America PAC for personal expenditures has become controversial, given that the former president has claimed that the PAC was set up to save the United States from President Joe Biden, support GOP candidates, and uncover instances of alleged voter fraud. Additionally, as USA Today noted, the Federal Elections Commission “does not allow candidate committees, which are formed to raise money for a specific candidate, to spend money on personal items, including clothing.”
***
Braillard has previously addressed the $60,000 payment in an interview with WWD. He told the fashion magazine that the money was not related to fashion or any services rendered during Trump's time as president. Additionally, he said that while he still does style the former first lady, the "fashion" part of his consulting is minimal.

I see stuff like this ALL the time. People think that since pedestrians have the right of way that equals they don’t have to look.

‘Right’ isn’t going to help you if your dead. And it may be a case of that SUV couldn’t see them because they are on the other side of the car whose dash cam this was.

While the SUV should have stopped, the people are obviously popping out from behind what ever vehicle had that dash cam.

Both the SUV driver & the adult responsible for those children are in the wrong here.

Jan 6th Select Committee wins another one. Getting phone records for Arizona Kelli Ward and her federal judge DH..

The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has the right to see phone records for Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward and her husband, Michael, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

The subpoena from the House Select Committee on January 6th sought phone records from T-Mobile between Nov. 1, 2020, through Jan. 31, 2021, for four phone numbers associated with the Wards and Michael Ward’s business, Mole Medical Services. Both Wards were among the Arizona Republicans who were fake electors and signed a bogus document claiming that Donald Trump won the state in the 2020 election.

Judge Humetewa also noted that the federal courts have no oversight role regarding the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives, dismissing the argument from the Wards that the committee has fewer members than the authorizing resolution required.
***
And Humetewa said the Wards cited no case law to support their argument that the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, protects their phone records. Further, she said the subpoena was issued to T-Mobile, not the Wards, and the mobile phone company is not bound by HIPAA.

I see the hypocrite with his mouth moving...

Why do they have to lie, lie and lie again.

Does the fuel stop count as being in Florida? They were on the ground there, just sitting on the plane?
