” Ukraine agents pursued attacks inside Belarus and Russia, leaked docs say... “
” 𤥠The West is framing Kiev again
Judging by the activity of the pro-liberal media, another leak of “secret” data shows that the Western intelligence services are deliberately hiding behind the carcasses of the SBU. To avoid international public scandals with a clear customer and perpetrator, the U.S. authorities are leaking information about the Ukrainians
It’s funny, because the same scheme was used to conceal U.S. involvement in the terrorist attacks on Northern Stream pipelines. “

The so called “narrative war” is getting real. It’s as having a foot on two planets, surreal to consider the dark side continues actions to destroy the reputation of the USA, or rather God and the white hats exposing the breadth and depth of the dark side overtaking the US and the world, in an occupation, as referred to in both the DOD Law of War and in Revelation????
Even that point of confusion, makes the Scare Event appear inevitable and near.
These Intel leaks have served to encircle the USA causing even our oldest allies can be brought to align against us. Darkness-to-light is certainly having its effects.
America should never have extensively displaced our Lord, as in the days of Noah, and the Stations of the Cross. âď¸âď¸âď¸

Trump Manhattan indictment defects
By Rud Istvan
Manhattan D.A. Bragg recently indicted and arraigned former president Trump on 34 individual felony counts. According to statements from “star” grand jury witness and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the matter concerns his payment of $130,000 to Stormy Daniels to buy her silence concerning an alleged 2006 affair â which she cannot prove and later denied in 2018. Trump reimbursed Cohen just before the 2016 election and apparently labeled it as legal expenses in his business records rather than “hush money reimbursement,” leading to Bragg’s business records misdemeanor charge. No less a legal scholar than Alan Dershowitz labeled this as “utter nonsense.”
D.A. Bragg claims that this is the misdemeanor of false business records under New York state law. He further claims that because this was done with intent to conceal a second crime, it becomes a felony â in fact, 34 felonies, as the indictment shows, each under the same identical N.Y. state law.
These indictments are fatally defective for three separate reasons, any one of which should get the indictments dismissed before trial.
1. Charging 34 separate indictments from what is essentially one event violates the very clear (in New York and most other states) criminal doctrine of multiplicity. It is a pretrial form of the trial/post-trial proscription on double jeopardy provided by the 5th Amendment as extended to the states by the 14th Amendment. The multiplicity doctrine simply holds that an alleged criminal indictment concerning events that are reasonably contiguous (for example, in time or space â here, both) cannot be broken up into separate indictments, each separately risking a jury’s guilty finding. The charged indictments are defectively multiplicitous under clear New York case law on the doctrine.
2. The felonies were created via the additional allegation of “false records with intent to conceal another crime.” But that second alleged crime is not specified in any of the 34 felony indictments. That is a clear violation of the 6th Amendment, which requires that an accused be informed of the “nature and cause of the accusation.” There were mutterings in Bragg’s post-arraignment press conference that the second crime could be a couple of different things.
a. A violation of election laws. Since 2016 was a presidential election, federal rather than state law governs. This raises a murky jurisdictional question about whether D.A. Bragg could use a federal “crime” for state law purposes. But the jurisdictional question need not be addressed because we already have the answer: there was no crime. Both the head of the Federal Elections Commission and the thenâacting head of DoJ say the question was actively investigated at the time and that there was no election issue found, let alone a criminal election issue.
b. A violation of some state income tax law. By law, the president’s federal income tax filings are audited each year of the presidency, and the audit result is then filed with the National Archives. For Trump, this would have been his 2017 filing for 2016. The IRS found no problems; there was no refile. That is relevant for his New York state filing, because New York expressly adopts the federal definition of adjusted gross income (AGM) and the federal definitions of allowable itemized deductions. There is one express New York variance; the state removes the federal $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions (SALT). Since there is no federal tax problem, there can be no state tax problem.
Both (a) and (b) explain why the indictments were mute about the alleged second crime and therefore are constitutionally defective.
3. The New York felony statute of limitations is five years. The charged events took place about six and a half years before the indictments. The statute of limitations expired about a year and a half before the indictments were brought. However, D.A. Brag might claim one of the two express statute of limitations exceptions under New York criminal law. Neither factually applies
a. If the indicted individual was continuously outside New York jurisdiction for five years, the limitation can be extended. But Trump provably was not continuously outside New York during the five years since the 2016 election. He traveled to the U.N. in Manhattan to address the U.N. in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
b. If the indicted individual’s whereabouts remain unknown during the five years. But Trump’s whereabouts were known at all times â primarily at the White House or at Mar-a-Lago.
There is a separate factor to be considered. Bragg expressly campaigned for Manhattan D.A. on the claim that he was the best candidate “to get Trump.” That is express evidence of malice aforethought, and therefore of the resulting prosecutorial misconduct that all three indictment defects evidence. He should be disbarred after the indictments are dismissed.
A final thought: It is possible that the trial court judge, who had previously shown animus to Trump, would fail to dismiss or recuse. But each of the three defects above is directly appealable pretrial. And at least one of the three defects is also a violation of the federal Constitution, so it gets to federal court also if necessary.

Stop and think for a moment.
The US “Deep State” that is administering the UKR-side of the war...
AND is the same bureaucracy administering the wanton killing of our children with psychotics puppets.
This sia NOT (nor, never has been) about Left and Right, Liberals and Conservatives or neo-Communists and Patriots.
This is Global-socialists against AMERICANS.
I stand with the Americans.
BTW, Russia is JUST AS nationalistic and Patriots/Trump...they desire to see US win because they are fighting the same battle.

Niccolo Machiavelli wrote about this tactic in The Prince. Deflect guilt by being FIRST to accuse, (and today sue) your opponent of the Crimes One is Committing Oneself. Classic and Obvious.

Bragg is not suing Jim Jordan directly, or Congress. He’s asking a judge to block the subpoena for him to appear before Jordan’s committee and testify next week.

Bragg sues Jim Jordan over âcampaign to intimidate and attackâ
by Rebecca Beitsch - 04/11/23 2:55 PM ET
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) sued House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) Tuesday, calling his investigation into Braggâs prosecution of former President Trump a âtransparent campaign to intimidate and attackâ his officeâs work.
The suit, filed in federal court in New York, is the most aggressive pushback yet from Bragg in response to Jordan, who in recent days subpoenaed a former prosecutor who worked on the Trump investigation and last week asked another employee to turn over personal emails about his hiring process.
âCongress has no power to supervise state criminal prosecutions. Nor does Congress have the power to serve subpoenas âfor the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to punish those investigated,ââ Braggâs office writes in the suit, pointing to a case initiated by Trump that ultimately limited Congressâs subpoena power.
Bragg has also resisted efforts from Jordan to secure his testimony, arguing in prior letters that Jordanâs requests would violate the rights of those involved in the process, including Trump himself.
âThe charges the District Attorney filed against Mr. Trump were approved by citizens of New York,â the suit states.
âRather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction.â
Jordan started his own review of Braggâs investigation just days after Trump predicted he would be arrested in connection with the probe and called on his supporters to protest.
Bragg filed an indictment of Trump last week, charging him with 34 felony counts of misclassification of business records, a charge elevated due to alleged efforts to conceal the payments to aid Trumpâs 2016 election prospects.
Bragg has yet to be subpoenaed by Jordan. But Jordan did subpoena Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from the Trump investigation about a year ago over disagreements with Bragg over the Trump case.
In a resignation letter published by the New York Times, Pomerantz wrote that Braggâs reluctance to pursue charges against Trump was âmisguided and completely contrary to the public interest.â
The suit seeks an injunction to block the subpoena of Pomerantz as well as any future subpoena issued to Bragg or others in his office.
It also notes that any subpoena would violate laws surrounding grand jury secrecy and privilege.
Jordan fired back on Twitter shortly after the suit was filed.
âFirst, they indict a president for no crime,â he wrote. âThen, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it.â
The suit spends also considerable time analyzing whether Jordanâs work could serve a legitimate legislative purpose â one of the requirements for backing such a subpoena.
Jordan has argued his panel must be able to review the federal funding Braggâs office receives. The office used $5,000 in federal funding to investigate Trump prior to Braggâs arrival, but his office says none has been used since he took the post in January of last year.
Jordan has also argued in his subpoena to Pomerantz his review is needed to âinform the consideration of potential legislative reforms that would, if enacted, insulate current and former Presidents from such politically motivated state and local prosecutions.â
In the suit, Bragg dismissed that augment and noted that it is up to Trumpâs legal team to raise in court the issue of whether his prosecution was improperly motivated.
âSubpoenaing a former line prosecutor to talk about an ongoing criminal prosecution and investigation is no less of an affront to state sovereignty than subpoenaing the District Attorney himself. Chairman Jordan claims he is seeking to conduct âoversight.â But he has no power under the Constitution to oversee state and local criminal matters,â he wrote.
âBy definition, then, he has no legitimate legislative purpose for issuing this subpoena.â
The suit also reviews numerous social media posts by Trump in relation to the probe, including one in which the former president posted a picture of himself holding a baseball bat side-by-side with a photo of Bragg. The filing notes the post was followed by death threats to Bragg and âa package containing suspicious white powder with a note making a specific death threat against him.â
Bragg filed his lawsuit one day after the House Judiciary Committee, led by Jordan, announced that it will hold a hearing in Manhattan next week on violent crime in the city.
The panel targeted Bragg in its advisory, writing that the hearing â titled âVictims of Violent Crime in Manhattanâ â will examine how Braggâs âpro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.â
In an interview with Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity Monday night, Jordan said the committee will be talking to victims of crime in the city.
âWeâre coming up there to talk to the victims, the people whoâve been impacted by this crazy, left-wing ideology that says weâre not gonna put bad guys, people who do harmful things to other Americans, weâre not gonna put them in jail and then bad things happen,â Jordan said. âWeâre gonna talk to those families.â
He also noted that the Judiciary Committee is planning to travel to other cities to look into crime. He said Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), the chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, âwants to go to other cities and do this same thing.â

âBut it is that critical because Alvin Bragg as you know is going after President Trump when you have all kinds of things happening in his town that are harmful to families who live there,â Jordan added.
