Possible reason for the Grand Jury delay... EDIT: Possibly more witnesses to come

I just saw that it appears the Tacopina crap is being reviewed to see if there is a conflict which it appears so. Stormy presented new evidence on their communications. IMO this won't be a long delay or stop the inevitable. The right is trying to say Bragg is hiding this. The Judge will decide soon.

It is not out of the question that after Y'abbott and Costello blurbed, others made a phone call to testify.

Let it play out!

Reid: Sources say that prosecutors have been in touch with an attorney for at least one witness, and they signal that they're leaving the door open for that witness to potentially come back..

Top GOPer on House Finance Committee got him some "woke" donations from Signature Bank!

Signature Bank Threw a Fundraiser for the Congressman Now Probing How It Failed
GOP’s McHenry chairs the House Financial Services Committee
Campaign says donations from event won’t be processed
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-20/signature-threw-a-fundraiser-for-mchenry-just-before-it-crumbled

McHenry is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, which has announced a bipartisan hearing into the collapse of Signature and Silicon Valley Bank next week, “the first of multiple.” On Monday, McHenry and Senator Tim Scott, the top Republican on the Banking Committee, demanded the Federal Reserve and FDIC provide information on their oversight of the two failed banks for the last two years and save all records.

McHenry has been the bank’s favorite member of Congress since 2017. Signature’s employees have given him a little more than $188,000, almost triple the $66,000 they’ve given to Minnesota’s Tina Smith, a Democratic member of the Senate Banking Committee who has received the second highest amount from them.

Among current members of Congress, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer was next with $45,000. All other Republican candidates got a little more than $41,000 in total from Signature’s employees over the same period, a Bloomberg analysis of Federal Election Commission records shows. Overall, Democrats took in $284,000 from Signature employees, about $53,000 more than Republicans.

The bank’s board enjoyed connections to both parties. Barney Frank, who was co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act after the 2008 crisis, joined the bank’s board after the Massachusetts Democrat left Congress in 2013. Ivanka Trump was a director, too.


Oh the corruption...how deep you run,

Fox News Tries to Silence a Top Producer Threatening to Reveal Internal Convos

The network is taking a key producer for Tucker and Bartiromo to stop her from disclosing privileged internal chatter as part of her own threats to sue for discrimination.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-tries-to-silence-top-producer-abby-grossberg-who-threatened-to-reveal-internal-convos

Fox News is now taking legal action against one of its top producers in an effort to silence her amid the ongoing Dominion lawsuit.

In a Monday complaint filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Fox News alleged that Abby Grossberg, a senior booking producer for Tucker Carlson, has threatened the network with a discrimination lawsuit and, in doing so, has threatened to publicly disclose privileged conversations she had with Fox News lawyers in advance of her own September 2022 deposition in the Dominion defamation case.

Grossberg’s threats, the network wrote, have forced Fox to seek a court order silencing her.

The top producer worked on Maria Bartiromo’s weekend show during the 2020 election and was among those who received the “wackadoodle” memo from “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell, written by a self-described “ghost” woman, that served as the basis for some of the baseless election-fraud claims Fox News aired.

US Christian group (ICOC) accused of covering up sexual abuse of minors

US Christian group accused of covering up sexual abuse of minors
Lawsuits claim International Churches of Christ leaders failed to report as well as plotted to conceal abuse of women and children

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/19/international-churches-of-christ-lawsuits-alleged-sexual-abuse



“What happened to your girls isn’t that big of a deal,” a church elder allegedly told a mother of two young girls who were sexually assaulted on church grounds, according to a February filing. “Most girls have been molested by the time they reach 18.”

Five women filed a complaint in December that said the ICOC failed to stop convicted pedophile and church member David Saracino from sexually assaulting them when they were between the ages of four and 17.



Anyone else surprised?
