According to her publisher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/10\/03\/politics\/melania-trump-book-cnn-interview?cid=ios_app\">she also wanted<\/a> $250,000 to be interviewed by CNN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You know about many of <b>Donald Trump<\/b>&#8216;s legendarily failed rackets from the old days: Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Vodka, Trump Casinos, just to name a few. More recently, during the time he&#8217;s been running for President again, there&#8217;s been Trump Sneakers, Trump Bibles, Trump Digital Trading Cards, Trump Coins, Trump Cryptocurrency and, introduced just last Friday, &#8220;Swiss-made&#8221; <b>Trump Watches<\/b>. He&#8217;s selling them for <i>$100,000<\/i> a pop! Even though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/lifestyle\/style\/trump-watch-likely-made-in-china-overpriced-1236013728\/\">according to experts<\/a>, they appear to be Chinese-made crap, if they even exist, <i>and<\/i> appear just as likely to be an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meidasplus.com\/p\/trumps-100000-watches-a-gateway-for\">open invitation<\/a> to foreign influence peddling and money laundering. We explain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the above enumerated rackets, by the way, are <i>private<\/i> rackets. Any profits from them do <i>not<\/i> go to his Presidential Campaign, but straight into <b>Donald Trump<\/b>&#8216;s pocket. And so &#8212; according to the new <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148.252.0.pdf\">165-page filing [PDF]<\/a> by Special Counsel <b>Jack Smith<\/b>, unsealed by U.S. District Court Judge <b>Tanya Chutkan<\/b> on Wednesday afternoon &#8212; was Trump&#8217;s attempt to steal the 2020 election. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-jack-smith-election-supreme-court-0b9969b480036bb1f7c61a73980d406c\">New evidence in the filing<\/a> from prosecutors in his 4-count federal indictment in D.C., further details how the disgraced former President and convicted felon was fully aware that he&#8217;d lost the election in 2020, but didn&#8217;t care. He was going to fight to steal it anyway. He also knew he had put Vice President <b>Mike Pence<\/b>&#8216;s life in grave danger on January 6th, 2021. His response: &#8220;So, what?&#8221; And all of that, as prosecutors argue in their brief, was done in Trump&#8217;s capacity as a <i>private<\/i> candidate for office. It was not done as part of his official duties as President. Smith&#8217;s motion is meant to make that case in hopes of preventing the corrupted U.S. Supreme Court from dismissing the case on the basis of their absurd, anti-American, anti-Constitutional, made-up-from-whole-cloth ruling in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/23pdf\/23-939_e2pg.pdf\"><i>Trump v. U.S.<\/i><\/a> declaring criminal immunity to sitting Presidents for crimes committed as part of their &#8220;official&#8221; duties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In <b>Colorado<\/b> today, a state judge unleashed a brutal, if accurate, take-down of disgraced former Mesa County Clerk, <b>Tina Peters<\/b> during <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tina-peters-colorado-clerk-election-vote-fraud-b456ce4f80dc97f4b967eb6297311a51\">her sentencing hearing<\/a>.

The judge told Peters today: &#8220;I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You&#8217;re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen. You are no hero. You abused your position and you&#8217;re a charlatan.&#8221; He called out her continuing claims of evidence-free fraud as &#8220;just more lies. No objective person believes them. No, at the end of the day, you cared about the jets, the podcasts and people fawning over you.&#8221; He then sentenced her to <i>nine<\/i> years in prison before she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2024\/10\/02\/former-colorado-county-clerk-tina-peters-sentenced-to-9-years-for-voting-data-scheme\/\">handcuffed and hauled out of the courtroom<\/a> to immediately begin serving her time.
