Trump’s Department of Justice has been dishonest so many times in court, that they have soiled the Department’s previous reputation of generally being honest. This soiling spreads to the US government as a whole, and even the country. If a country’s Department of Justice consistently lies, then that is not a just country. This is what happens when you appoint hacks over quality, and when the president expects the Department of Justice to obey his whims rather than the law and the truth.
“Biden sued Byrne, a staunch Trump ally who has repeatedly promoted Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election, over his claims that Biden reached out to the Iranian government in 2021 offering to have his father, President Joe Biden, “unfreeze” $8 billion in Iranian funds in exchange for a bribe.
U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson, a California-based judge who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, issued his ruling on Friday and formally entered the judgment Wednesday.
Wilson wrote that the court “found that ample evidence supported a finding that Defendant knew the story to be false” yet continued to make the same claims publicly while court proceedings were underway.
“This was not a product of excusable neglect but rather of coordinated strategy,” Wilson wrote, adding that Byrne relied on sources that were “unreliable or biased” against Biden and that Byrne was “motivated to defame” Biden because of “hostility and anger toward” Biden and his family.
“Overall, in the totality of circumstances, by far the most plausible explanation is that Defendant is not credible, fabricates awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media, and fabricated the defamatory story at issue in this case to damage Plaintiff’s reputation,” Wilson wrote.”
Former Republican with experience doing this, says Republican officials and media people afraid of Trump have to couch any criticism of Trump with blame on one of Trump’s many “enemies” to appease their overlord.
A lot of Republican-leaning policy coalitions have been betrayed by Trump and most of them still cheer for him and lie for him.
Rubio compares the audaciousness of American colonists rebelling against the British empire and creating the world’s first modern democracy, and the US landing on the moon…to UFC creating a successful fighting company.
Rubio knows this is nonsense. He is lying for Trump. Rubio used to be a respectful Senator, now he drinks Trump’s fluids from both sides every day on national television.
Don’t get me wrong, UFC is cool and I respect the sport and business that they built, but the audacity of creating the world’s first modern democracy, rebelling against the greatest empire on Earth, and landing on the moon…are incomparable to creating a cool sports fighting business.
Tucker Carlson was caught lying about Trump, supporting him publicly while privately saying he doesn’t like him. Now, Tucker apologizes for supporting Trump, but still implies falsely that he wasn’t lying. He got filthy rich lying to people and misleading them.
