Well it was overt retaliation and the fact that the judge allowed it is beyond the pale.

FRiend, I’m telling you, Trump might win and I believe he’ll prove as capable as Ike.

Frankly, I think he will win despite all of the voter fraud and trickery.

Please be willing to consider that I might possibly be right about this.

But if I’m wrong, I’ll agree with you.

I’ll quit bothering to vote.

I’ll quit researching ‘current events’.

~~~

Win-lose-or-draw my ping list will get mothballed for weeks or months on end at best after this election like I’ve done in the past.

I’ll be more devoted to ‘weird news’, history, and my fiction writing career.

Transition time.

BUT ...

Only a few days left, and I will NOT be on the sidelines.

The personnel of the governments of this country are in total contempt of the will of the people.

Trump would have to fire the entire Fed Gov (including the Secret Service).

I’ve seen it happen twice. Once when a judge had a tantrum and declared direct contempt of court, and ordered the bailiff to take the attorney into custody.

Second was after multiple hearings brought to light that an attorney had destroyed evidence during a criminal proceeding, and the attorney was ordered into court and taken into custody for constructive contempt of court.

In each case the protocol was judge’s orders, carried out in an orderly manner with minimal force.

This smacks of state terrorism, ala Waco. Most attorneys are physical cowards. This will put a lot of them back into submissive default positions.

My observations were in state, not federal, courts. If anything, federal proceedings are even more staid and formal.

I hope you don’t have inside info on the Secret Service. I had the pleasure of talking with a member of the S.S. one time. A wonderful gentleman. Kid of a single mom, I also had a Big Brother who was an FBI agent. Amazing and great guy.

The Secret Service calls Hillary’s plane ‘Broomstick One’.

The one and only job of the Secret Service is to protect the monetary system from all threats.

They do consider Trump to be a threat. I hope he has adequate private security.

I don’t think she did enough.

It may be that they just went for it on their own, but she should have yelled stop as they wrestled him down and tased him. That didn’t happen in a microsecond.

It’s unheard of. My father was a government attorney and I can tell you that defense lawyers pushing the envelope is SOP. Watched it many times.

The cops are supposed to stay in the background, it’s an argument between the attorneys and the judges.

She ordered them to stand back.

They were clearly in contempt of her authority.

To whom could she have given an order to place them in restraint?

The Marshalls and the Judge were pissed off because the defendants were acquitted. They took out their frustrations out on the lawyer until they got Bundy away from the public eye. Then they beat the hell out of him. I bet Bundy’s ribs, arms, and legs are still sore.

The lawyer was very fortunate that he got off without being seriously injured.

‘The one and only job of the Secret Service is to protect the monetary system from all threats.’

They also handle security.

Sounds like the Marshalls were worried about the judge’s safety. I would have to see the entire thing to judge. Seems like they could have gotten between the two and defused the situation in better fashion.

As for Lavoy, he acted like a fool for weeks, bragged about always being armed and said he wouldn’t be arrested without a fight. Then he committed suicide by cop. He is no hero, was no help to the cause and sounded mentally disturbed during the prelude to his useless demise.

I also suspect that the marshals didn’t expect jury nullification. Probably blindsided and had no papers at the moment to hold the no-longer-accused — just my guess. Otherwise they would have shown it to the defense attorney and ‘end of story’.

‘Sounds like the Marshalls were worried about the judge’s safety.’

The judge told them to stand back. The judge’s bailiff is what the judge resorts to if someone in the courtroom gets out of hand.

Why didn’t the marshals simply present the papers the defense attorney asked for?

~~~

“If there’s a detainer show me,” Mumford stood, arguing before the judge.

Suddenly a group of about six U.S. Marshals surrounded Mumford at his defense table. The judge directed them to move back but moments later, the marshals grabbed on him.
