Biden Administration Improperly Tried Ex-Congressman, Conviction Tossed

A federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of a former Republican congressman. And you won't be surprised as to why. 

 

Former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry’s (R-Neb.) was convicted of lying to the FBI about an illegal campaign contribution last year. The alleged false statements were made during interviews in Nebraska and Washington, D.C.

 

But the Biden administration tried him in Los Angeles.

 

“Fortenberry’s trial took place in a state where no charged crime was committed, and before a jury drawn from the vicinage of the federal agencies that investigated the defendant,” U.S. District Judge James Donato wrote in his ruling. “The Constitution does not permit this. Fortenberry’s convictions are reversed so that he may be retried, if at all, in a proper venue."

 

Fortenberry received two years of probation, a $25,000 fine, and more than 300 hours of community service as a result of his conviction.

 

“We are gratified by the Ninth Circuit’s decision. Celeste and I would like to thank everyone who has stood by us and supported us with their kindness and friendship,” Fortenberry told The Hill in a statement.

Meet the new regime...

 

Now we know why the Don made that phone call.  It always takes years to prove these hoaxes wrong, meanwhile the damage is done instantly.

Just as dumb as the 14th ammendment crap.  But we live in stupid times.

 

Not that it matters in commie Illinois, Biden could have used a notary from Mars and all is good.

 

 

Kick him off.

Better Late than Never? Joe Biden is Going to East Palestine, Ohio

KAREN TOWNSEND

 

 

Saturday marks the one year anniversary of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. The people of East Palestine have been snubbed by President Biden since the derailment happened.

 

It’s an election year so Joe Biden suddenly has some time to make the trip to East Palestine. Since the derailment, Biden promised to visit but usually said, when asked by reporters, that he’s busy. The White House had a standard answer that Biden would go when he found some time to do so.

 

However, all throughout 2023, Biden visited places all around the country where natural disasters and other events that negatively affected communities happened. He has been quick to jump on Air Force One, often with Jill in tow, and play the role of Comforter-in-Chief. Except when it came to East Palestine, Ohio.

 

East Palestine, Ohio is solidly Trump country and it is impossible to keep politics out of this story. Trump won the county by 72% of the vote in 2020. Joe Biden has traveled to Ohio many times but never found the time to make a stop in East Palestine. Ohio is an important state in a presidential election. It’s a swing state that has mostly gone red in recent elections. Trump won the state in 2020 by 53.3% to Biden’s 45.2%.

 

As time went on, it looked like the Biden administration just wasn’t particularly concerned about the aftermath of the toxic train derailment. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had to be shamed into taking the trip to assess the damage weeks later and talk to the locals. It just looked bad. It was hard not to think that if the derailment had happened in a deep blue area that voted for Biden, he would have been there as soon as the air began to clear.

A few days ago, @RNCResearch provided this update about President Biden's "priorities" since the toxic train derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio: 

 

About one year later and with an approval rating that remains historically low, guess where the White House is going to have Biden go: 

 

 

 

 

Must be an election year

If were were watching "Sesame Street" together, this is when the cast would start singing, "One of these things is not like the other..."

 

Presidentish Joe Biden's social media people thought it wise on Tuesday to jump into the

Great Elmo Controversy of 2024. You remember, Elmo, don't you? He's the squeaky-voiced young Muppet who likes to be tickled and learn gentle life lessons.
