A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of the great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

L'étude des grands maîtres

« Lisez les oeuvres des grands maîtres de la vie, essayez de saisir le sens profond de leurs paroles, forgez-vous une conviction sur le sens que vous voulez donner à votre vie, n'ayez pas la naïveté de croire que vous pouvez vous dispenser de maîtres, de guides et de modèles (...). »

Kelley was among the >1,500 defendants who received a #pardon from #Trump on Jan 20 for their actions during the #Jan6 #insurrection.….
Kelley’s attorney has argued that Trump’s mass pardon of Jan. 6 *rioters* should apply to Kelley’s #conviction in the #murder plot because it “directly relates to the events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
“Fake it till you make it” VS “Greed is good”
“According to the government, the pair (#CharlieJavice & #OlivierAmar) hired a #DataScientist to create fake accounts showing 4.25 million #customers, even though they knew it had fewer than 300,000. The implication for #investors, whether the trial results in a #conviction or acquittal, is how the massive #WallStreet firm could have missed the warning signs, and whether its #DueDiligence on other #acquisitions was up to the task.”

Until recently, #EmilBove was one of #Trump’s #defense lawyers, representing him in his NY criminal trial last year. The trial led to Trump’s #conviction on 34 #felony counts for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal that had threatened to derail his 2016 campaign.
#SDNY has long been viewed as the nation’s most prestigious US atty’s office, & has a reputation for guarding its independence & fending off interference from DC, winning it the nickname “the Sovereign District.”

#Trump pardoned Former #Illinois Governor Rod #Blagojevich for his #corruption #conviction, 5 years after commuting his prison sentence.
Blagojevich, who served as a *Democrat* [otherwise you can’t win in #Chicago TYVM], was removed from office in 2009 for attempting to solicit #bribes to fill the US #Senate seat Barack #Obama vacated when he became president. Trump in Feb 2020 cut short Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence.
#conviction : the act of proving, finding, or adjudging, guilty of an offense

In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”
That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.
#Trump Is First #President to Be #Sentenced as a #Felon. No #Jail Time in #HushMoney Case, but Judge Formalizes #Criminal #Conviction. The sentencing in Manhattan on 34 counts formalizes President-elect Trump’s felon status, making him the first to carry that distinction to the White House. How #shameful for the nation, in a time where we need so much compassion and kindness rather than hatred and corruption. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/10/nyregion/trump-hush-money-sentencing We must never be silent about or accepting of his #crimes
Though #Trump will soon begin the #appeal process, the case will be concluded after sentencing, meaning it will no longer hover over him. But he will also be the first convicted #felon to be sworn in as president.
This week, Trump filed a civil action against the judge overseeing the case, challenging a pair of recent rulings that upheld his #conviction. Both rulings rejected Trump’s argument that, as a former & future president, he is entitled to #immunity.
And just in case you were wondering…
Can #Trump #pardon himself? Not for state #HushMoney #crimes.
#Federal authority cannot overturn his #state #conviction.
#criminal #law #SCOTUS #immunity
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/30/trump-pardon-himself/
Even though Justice #Merchan has signaled that he will spare the former & future president any substantive punishment, #Trump is scrambling to avoid the symbolic blow of sentencing. Once Trump is sentenced for the 34-count #conviction, he will formally become a #felon.
Another capitulation - Judge Merchan Upholds Trump’s Conviction but Signals No Jail Time. The #NewYork #judge who oversaw President-elect Donald J. Trump’s hush-money trial scheduled his sentencing for Jan. 10. #Trump is expected to appeal his #conviction. #courts #scotus NY State Supreme Court https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFs/press/PDFs/People%20v.%20DJT%20Clayton%20Decision.pdf President elect remains a #felon - no #justice
Judge upholds #Trump’s #felony #conviction, schedules sentencing for Jan. 10
Donald Trump was found guilty in May of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
