Fulton County Investigation: Trump’s Allies Are Subpoenaed
[guest post by Dana]
Conducting an investigation into whether former President Trump and his cronies committed crimes after the 2020 election in Georgia, the Fulton County DA has now issued subpoenas:
An Atlanta-area grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia has subpoenaed a handful of key Trump allies, including his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to court filings.
The subpoenas also cover a handful of Trump’s other former legal advisers, including John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Cleta Mitchell and Kenneth Chesebro.
“The witness will be required to be in attendance and testify before the Special Purpose Grand Jury on July 12, 2022, and continuing through and until the conclusion of the witness’s testimony on or before August 31, 2022, at the Superior Court of Fulton County,” each of the subpoenas said.
All subjects of the subpoenas were ordered to testify before the special grand jury on July 12. The subpoenas were filed Tuesday and signed by Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, a move that was needed because the subjects were from out of state…
About the focus of the subpoenas:
Eastman was a key witness at one of the December 2020 legislative hearings that were led by Giuliani. Willis’ office said in its subpoena to Eastman that during the hearing, he had “advised lawmakers that they had both the lawful authority and a ‘duty’ to replace the Democratic Party’s slate of presidential electors, who had been certified as the duly appointed electors for the State of Georgia after the November 2020 election, due to unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud within the state.”
They called the appearance part of a “multistate, coordinated plan by the Trump campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.”
The subpoena also noted that Eastman “drafted at least two memoranda to the Trump Campaign and others detailing a plan through which Vice President Mike Pence, as president of the Senate, could refuse to count some of President Joe Biden’s electoral votes” on Jan. 6 — a plan that was rejected by Pence.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to tease a 2024 run:
Former President Trump is holding discussions about announcing a 2024 campaign, sources told The Hill, with some current and former advisers believing it is a matter of when, not if, Trump will launch a third White House bid.
Multiple sources told The Hill that a campaign announcement as early as this summer has already been discussed, but cautioned the situation remains fluid and it’s unclear when the former president might actually jump into the race.
“I think there are people pulling him in that direction, and he’s open to it,” one former adviser said of an announcement before the midterms.
One source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, argued there’s no rush for Trump to declare his candidacy. Trump remains the most popular and influential figure in the Republican Party, the source said, and the former president could afford to wait until he has a clearer campaign infrastructure in place before throwing himself fully into a White House campaign.
The report notes some possible advantages for Trump if he announces early:
The former president’s desire to announce a campaign sooner rather than later is driven in no small part by a growing sense that such a move could help insulate him from the work of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to one Trump World source.
Declaring a campaign for the White House would make it easier for Trump to cast the committee’s work as a partisan hit job designed to damage him before he ever has the chance to respond, the source said.
…
An early entry into the 2024 race would also likely make it more difficult for social media outlets like Twitter to uphold existing bans on Trump — something both Democrats and Republicans have acknowledged.
However, there is a distinct disadvantage to announcing early, and it’s no small potatoes:
Formally declaring his candidacy would trigger Federal Election Commission requirements about disclosing financial information, and it would limit how much Trump could raise from individual donors before November 2024.
Meanwhile, the Jan. 6 Committee remains a thorn in his side. Last week, he said that the Committee is just trying to keep him from running in 2024:
During an interview with Newsmax last week, Trump was asked how much of the Jan. 6 committee proceedings were about “preventing you from running again in 2024?”
“I think a lot of it is,” Trump responded. “I am leading in all the polls — against Republicans and Democrats. I am leading in the Republican polls in numbers that no one has ever even seen before. And against Biden, and anyone else they run, I am leading against them.”
I suppose, too, he wants to get the jump on his (likely) main competitor, Ron DeSantis, because another day not having assumed the position as the GOP’s forerunner candidate gives DeSantis another day to up his game and try to increase his popularity before he announces.
I’m not offering much commentary on this because the mere thought of Trump running and all the guaranteed chaos and craziness that will ensue is just exhausting. Already… Before it’s even happened…

I couldn’t find any comments or statements from those being subpoenaed, nor from their legal counsel.
Dana (1225fc) — 7/5/2022 @ 2:37 pm“because the mere thought of Trump running and all the guaranteed chaos”
It will be an interesting test of whether running helps or hurts with a potential indictment…personally, I couldn’t imagine him not running….he’s too invested in a narrative that he needs to run to ground. It will be an interesting test for the GOP and its enabling media. Many see him as a path to power, but few still believe that he can be successfully managed. At best he splits the convention…which might not be good news.

mg (8cbc69) — 7/5/2022 @ 3:05 pmTrump also. denied something about the car incident, but interestingly, he said he was outside the car at the time.
As I suspected was the truth.
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-july-3-2022-n1296809
Cassidy Hutchinson had placed him in the car.
https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/day-6-of-jan-6-committee-hearings-6-28-22-transcript
By the way, Bobby Engel did not have more information. What a euphemism!
Mark Meadows was lying to Trump! He was not conspiring with Trump to start a riot. Liz Cheney and the committee is too dumb to realize that. (I make an exception for Adam Schiff, who may be intentionally twisting facts around, maybe just to be original) But I think it has DOJ all surprised because they were probably working on the assumption that Trump never had any intention of going to the Capitol, because he would never intentionally insert himself in the middle of a disturbance.
Continuing:
By the way, the vehicle known as “the Beast” is said to have aparttion between the driver and anybody in the seats behind, so Trump would have had to have been riding in the front passenger seat for this to be true.
No way Trump says that he was out of the car unless it was a real incident (although apparently it went down not as she described) . How would he know that?
The important point was that Trump expected to go to the Capitol until the last minute. And that proves, not that he was going to lead the rioters, or wanted to watch the assault like Nero supposedly fiddling while Rome burned, but that he did not expect a riot.
And now Justice is all angry at the committee for keeping the testimony secret. And I think this could be why.

I thought Trump was planning not to run, but maybe he now thinks he’s safer from legal jeopardy by running. (because all the cases against are either false (conspiring to start a riot) or legal stretches (the false electors scheme was a form of fraud; the attempt to stop the vote count – by Parliamentary maneuvering – was obstruction of a governmental proceeding , and now trying to convince legislators in Georgia to act illegally and unconstitutionally all the while using legal arguments, is some specious of crime. But that’s Georgia state prosecution.
There is also a Department of Justice Inspector General’s investigation, which is what resulted in the search warrant of Jeffery Clark’s home and the seizure of John Eastman’s phone on Wednesday June 22. That concerns Jeffrey Clark’s contacts with President Trump , and the attempt to get DOJ to issue a false letter, and the attempt for him to become Attorney General. I wonder there if possibly he Jeffrey Clark had a corrupt motive to make some decision about a totally unrelated case. I mean the whole thing with Jeffrey Clark attempting to be named Acting Attorney general could have really had a totally different unrelated corrupt purpose.
Jeffrey Clark knew, of course, that he was not going to be able to do anything to give Donald Trump another term. So why did he want to be Attorney general for 17 days? Maybe to make one seemingly minor decision people would overlook. It’s one thing to consider.
Trump’s possible announcement could be for the purpose of strangling Ron DeSantis’s candidacy in the cradle, or maybe even aborting it in utero. But he wouldn’t want to do that unless he was anyway planning to run, or had changed his mind and decided to run after all, or thought DeSantis would turn against him.

felipe (484255) — 7/5/2022 @ 3:33 pmDo you know the committee had already heard from two of the three possible fact witnesses about the incident in the car (not the driver) — but they decided not to believe Tony Ornato because someone else had a separate dispute with Tony Ornato?
Sammy Finkelman (1d215a) — 7/5/2022 @ 3:36 pmNow while Donald Trump probably – almost certainly – did not expect there to be a disturbance and if it had begun while he was going into he car, he didn’t know about it – Mark meadows and possible Pat Cipollone did. Mark Meadows knew something of the character of some of the people Trump was dealing with.

There was a Russian agent recording it, who ran away to Russia almost right after. And he had also encouraged some people to go there. (although he was not involved with the Proud Boys, or Oath Keepers or three percenters.

He’s a neo-Nazi himself, or played one on the Internet for awhile:
Charles Bausman spent part of is childhood in Moscow, where his father was the Bureau Chief for the Associated Press. He speaks fluent Russia and now has a Russian wife and two young children. He floundered around seeking income, and helped by his parents but around 2014 he became a pro-Russian propagandist. First defending the annexation of Crimea in 2014, then moving on to defending Russia in Syria, was on panel discussions on Russian media, also supporting a Russian Orthodox sect and something called the the Internet Militia, commenting on the 2016 election — then moving on to anti-Semitism, and now more mainstream again. (at least not repudiated by RT)
It’s been hard to connect him to Russian money. He has apparently been supported by a Go Fund me page and $2.6 million he inherited after his mother died in August, 2018.

How own are being paid by the Republican National Committee.
As for others they fall in a few ghroups
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/30/us/trump-jan-6-lawyers-witness-pressure.html?
One group of people is not testifying at all and expenses to avoid anything is being paid for by the Save America political action committee. These include Cleta Mitchell, who worked with Giuliani, and Stephen K. Bannon, and some of Stephen Miller’s fees (the immigration hawk)
Also Cassidy Hutchinson’s first lawyer. (I think the article by his political action committee means the same source)
Other fees are being paid by the American Conservative Union’s “First Amendment Fund,” It’s own lawyers are pro bono but they work with other lawyers. They consult with Trump people. People have to make an application
Almost everyone who asks has received money for legal fees.
Rudolph Giuliani has not received any help. It is not said whom he might have asked.
The leader of the Oath Keepers has reportedly has his legal fees paid for by Defending the Republic, which is run by Sidney Powell.
Sammy Finkelman (1d215a) — 7/5/2022 @ 4:27 pmI am sure trump supporters would peacefully submit to their leader being prosecuted thats if you can keep trumpsters off the grand jury. Good luck trying to keep maggots off the jury in Georgia. That is why political trials are really difficult.

asset (4a188b) — 7/5/2022 @ 11:17 pmHere’s How Much Less Than Hillary Clinton Donald Trump Spent On the Election
Donald Trump’s campaign spent about $94 million in its final push for the White House, according to new fundraising reports filed Thursday.
The Republican continued his campaign-long trend of spending far less than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Her campaign blew through almost $132 million in its closing weeks, according to reports filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission. The latest reports cover Oct. 20 through Nov. 28. Over the course of the primary and general elections, the Trump campaign raised about $340 million. That included $66 million that the billionaire businessman contributed from his own pocket. The Clinton campaign, which maintained a longer and more concerted fundraising focus, brought in about $581 million.

To treat asset seriously for a moment, Stacy Abrams is the next Beto O’Roarke, unless she beets Kemp in 2022. If she does that — its best to remember that she launched her 2018 campaign here claiming voter fraud and ended it by refusing to concede the election, based on the contention that her supporters were taken off the election rolls. Though she denies it, the local rumor mill believes she’s the cause of the All Star Game being moved out of Atlanta last year after Georgia passed its not very remarkable voting bill. That rankles among the folks in Cobb County who were a part of Biden’s majority in 2020.
So, Abrams is likely old news in 2024, as Kemp will probably be reelected. If she wins and gets to the ticket, she and the Donald can have an intelligent and extended conversation about voter fraud in Georgia. /sarc

I think they tried to find a way that Charles Bausman got money from Russia or Russian sources, but they couldn’t do it. He appears to be on good terms with Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who owns a TV network, but they don’t know of any money coming from him but there are some clues that some did.
https://www.stopfake.org/en/is-russia-insider-sponsored-by-a-russian-oligarch-with-the-ties-to-the-european-far-right
In addition to all the other things I mentioned in #11 that Bausman was involved in, he also joined Republican protests against coronavirus restrictions and hosted neo-Nazis at his property in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/too-racist-for-russian-propaganda
There’s another thing:
He’s 58 (born circa 1964) but has a young wife (two young daughters) named Kristina who comes from the small community of Mednogorsk, Russia, founded in the time of Stalin. He married her in Russia. They were living in Russia for some time before 2018 when his mother died and he inherited money. He fled rather abruptly from his home after January 6, 2021. I think Russia intelligence probably made the match. That might have helped keep him loyal to Putin.
Mednogorsk is situated in Orenburg Oblast, which is partly (actually mostly) in Europe and partly in Asia and shares an international border with Kazakhstan to the east and south so the opportunity might have looked good to her.
Sammy Finkelman (1d215a) — 7/6/2022 @ 2:23 pmBausman had a job (presumably before 2018 but maybe later – after all it was probably a no-show job) as a Russian agriculture executive and that was how he was getting paid for living expences.
He also apparently moved back to the United States some time before his mother died:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/too-racist-for-russian-propaganda
After relocating to the United States, he ran two (and more) websites. One headline one time was “Jewish Intellectuals Call on Gays to Perform Sex Acts in Front of Children.”
Pizzagate was no doubt Russian propaganda. Russia is not exactly Communist any more. Although there was some anti-Semitic stuff going on even back when, and t maintains links with places with governments with a Communist ideology like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
