Justice Department prosecutor for Trump cases donated thousands to Biden, Democrats

An ex-top New York City prosecutor working with Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith on investigations related to former President Donald Trump has given large donations to campaigns for top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, records show.

David Rody is one of several veteran attorneys helping to advise Smith, who has overseen two indictments against Trump related to the former president's alleged efforts to challenge the 2020 election and his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021, as well as his mishandling of classified documents. Rody, who in 2022 left his role as a partner at the major law firm Sidley Austin to join the DOJ as a senior counsel in the criminal division, gave $5,600 to Biden's 2020 campaign and almost $7,000 to other Democratic causes from 2018 to 2022, according to campaign finance disclosures.

"Jack Smith and his gang of henchmen are dishonest, partisan hacks acting as enforcers for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party," Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for Make America Great Again Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, told the Washington Examiner.

The contributions, which have not been reported on until now, are likely to result in Republicans raising further concerns over the alleged partisan nature of inquiries related to the former president. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rick Scott (R-FL) notably took to X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this week to demand answers after a Washington Examiner report revealed United States District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who was assigned to the Trump election-related case, contributed roughly $4,300 to Barack Obama's presidential campaign and victory fund combined between 2008 and 2012.

Rody, who previously led investigations related to bribery, fraud, obstruction of justice, and other federal crimes, used to be head of the Violent Crimes unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of

At this point I’m so inured to it all that nothing could possibly faze me enough to be outraged.

The massive donations are just proof of objectivity and nonpartisanship.

... so the gaslight media will claim.

Did the Democrat Socialists just deem that conflict of interest no longer exists?

I pray this is true.

Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes, a Republican Commentator and former VP of Republicans Overseas told a British morning news show this morning that she sits on a DOD Task Force and that Space Force has evidence of the 2020 stolen election.

We are at the dawn of a new nation!! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the USSA! We can joke about it make memes etc but you know that is this the gospel truth. When the DC swamp have become our OVERLORDS/dictators overnight and we let liberty die in darkness then I can tell you with certainty. This is a new nation under a new name under a new dictatorship Germany style Nazis controlling country. I’m telling you all and I’ll say it again they’re preparing for every conservative Christian to be thrown in prison. And when the prisons can no longer hold us. They are going to throw us in concentration camps. But they’re going to call them Resort Centers! Where they will have saunas/showers and courtyard ovens waiting for us. They will call it doing the job for humanity by eliminating all those pesky Christians who are in the way.

Between this, and the judge who has alleged connections to same law firm Hunter Biden worked at, and a DC jury, and son of a b*tch, Joey Bribes is actually on video bragging about getting a prosecutor fired- However did we end up with a prosecutor from Europe, a judge with ties to same law firm Hunter worked at, and a DC jury?

Out of all the prosecutors, judges, and jury pools in the US, they end up with these?

And how about timing? Every time they come down on the Biden Crime family, they indict Trump?

🤔

As a result, he has due process so he can subpoena people and bring things in.

Why can't judge Up-a-de-Ya-Ya rule to exclude those witnesses?

However did we end up with.... a DC jury?

The 6th amendment states:

by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.

For one thing, DC is not a state, although DC juries have been used for a long time.

I predict the judge will deny the Trump change of venue motion because she will claim the "Voir Dire" process will solve the problem. Roger Stone could disagree because Amy Berman Jackson would not remove the biased jury "forema'am." and Stone was convicted.

Speaking of Ridley Austin:

....As TheDC previously reported, Solis illegally fundraised for the Obama campaign and headlined a Latino-themed Obama fundraiser while on a trip in her official capacity as a Cabinet member, which is forbidden by the Hatch Act.

A quiet, behind-the-scenes FBI investigation into Solis’ Hatch Act violation led to her resignation from the Obama administration at the beginning of his second term – and handed Solis a hefty check for legal advice from the Washington arm of the politically-connected Chicago law firm Sidley Austin....
