There are grand jury subpoenas sent to former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and former deputy counsel Patrick Philbin. The Department of Justice are actively being involved to investigate Trump's inner circle. This means that definitely the DOJ is investigating Donald Trump. The Justice Department has the power to bring criminal charges against Trump or its officials if they desire too. The House investigation continues during this late summer. The January 6th House Committee's public hearing will continue by September of 2022. Trump had pushed false election claims even now in August 2022. Pro-Trump candidates winning Republican primaries in Arizona and Michigan present the challenge on how we must protect our democracy. We know this DOJ probe is growing after the texts missing from government phones used by the Defense Department and the U.S. Secret Services. Cipollone and his attorney are in discussions with the Justice Department about the grand jury appearances and how to deal with executive privilege issues. If things won't get resolved on testimony issues, the court fight could reach into the Supreme Court.
The Alex Jones fiasco is all Jones's fault. He originally made the lie that Sandy Hook was a hoax. He is being sued for defamation, and in court he said that it was real. Alex Jones hurt a lot of families with his words about the tragedy. For decades, Alex Jones' far right extremism is well known. During Alex's cross examination, Sandy Hook family attorney exposed his dishonesty. The jury had to decide how much Jones has to pay to the victims' families of the Sandy Hook massacre. The plaintiffs' attorney, Mark Bankston, said that he had evidence proving that Jones lied when he claimed during the discovery process that he had never texted about the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting. Alex Jones' financial and text messages has been leaked to the attorneys of the family. Now, the January 6th House Committee wants to get those text messages. Sandy Hook parents testified that Alex Jones inflicted huge pain on them. Alex Jones certainly makes a mockery of real truth with his antics. Legitimate researchers into conspiracies aren't like Alex Jones. We know that everything in the world is not a conspiracy, but real conspiracies do exist like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Operation Paperclip, Operation Phoenix, Operation Mockingbird, and other situations. That is why we put things into context in showing our ideals without misinformation and lies. Alex Jones has to pay $4.1 million to the Sandy Hook parents.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban speaking at CPAC is normal as Orban is a racist and a xenophobic extremist. CPAC is very clear on its advocacy of GOP policies that deal with fascistic ideals. Orban is an authoritarian fascist too where Hungary has tons of laws the violate fundamental human civil liberties. He recently spoke at the CPAC meeting which was filled with racist, xenophobes, and bigots. Orban, in his speech, blamed immigrants and groups of people for problems in America. Of course, he is supported by Trump. Orban built a fence in Hungary to prevent migrants and refugees from seeking shelter. He said that the doesn't want more mixing in Hungary when Hungary is a nation made up of Finnish people, Magyars, Hunnic people, and other human beings of diverse ethnic backgrounds spanning thousands of years. Hungary has a failing population and its GDP may decline by 2.5%. Therefore, we know what the deal is. There are some people who don't believe in the principle that all human beings are created equal, and there are those that do. In our lives, we believe in the Golden Rule without any apology.
Britney Griner had to serve 9 years in a Russian prison. Obviously, the sentence is unjust and unfair. Griner's actions doesn't merit that time. Griner deserves to go home as soon as possible to America. We know how Russia is. Russia is a dictatorship under Putin's control. In Russia, the freedom of press is restricted, protesters are regularly arrested, and many Russians have escaped out of their own country to survive. The Russian military forces' war crimes in Ukraine have no justification at all. Tons of people in the WNBA, NBA, and other organizations have supported Britney Griner. The Bush administration has said that they are doing all that they can in making sure that Britney Griner will come home. If this is to occur, a prisoner swap may have to exist. Other Americans are in Russian prisons too.
The Department of Justice have charged 4 police officers for the murder of Breonna Taylor in federal crimes. Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement on Thursday. It was shocking but long overdue. The people charged were Louisville police officers involving the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor's home. They are being charged with civil rights violations. This is the first time when federal courts leveled any of such charges against officers involved in the raid. Garland said that the civil rights offenses are part of the charges. The officers are charged with unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force, and obstruction. Tamika Palmer is Breonna Taylor's mother. She said that she has waited 874 days for the federal charges to be filed. She said that every day of her life is March 13. Joshua Jaynes, Kyle Meany, and Kelly Goodlett are charged with submitting a false affidavit to search Taylor's home and working to create a false story to escape responsibility. Brett Hankinson is charged with willfully using unconstitutional excessive force. We want justice. We owe that to Breonna Taylor and her mother. We owe that to the rest of Breonna Taylor's family plus friends.
