House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is investigating Jack Smith’s superseding indictment of President Trump.

“On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an opinion in Trump v. United States, explaining the parameters of presidential immunity and rebuking Special Counsel Jack Smith for violating this Constitutional principle in his political prosecution of President Donald J. Trump. On August 27, 2024, Special Counsel Smith obtained a superseding indictment against President Trump in an attempt to fix the constitutional defects inherent in his initial indictment,” Jim Jordan wrote in the letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“In doing so, however, Special Counsel Smith appears to have violated longstanding Department policy intended to protect our democratic processes. The Committee must therefore understand whether you approved Special Counsel Smith’s indictment in advance or whether Special Counsel Smith continues to exercise prosecutorial authority without your ‘meaningful direction or supervision,” Chairman Jordan said.

Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump AGAIN in DC on Tuesday following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.

Jack Smith’s prosecutors presented evidence to a new grand jury in order to recalibrate the case after the Supreme Court ruled Trump is immune from prosecution for ‘official acts’ as president.

The grand jury indicted Trump on the same four charges that were unveiled last August: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” wrote Smith’s team in the 36-page indictment.

Trump’s lawyers argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.

In Jack Smith’s indictment last August, prosecutors asserted that President Trump sought to use the DOJ to help him overturn the results of the 2020 election.

In the new indictment, Jack Smith’s prosecutors claim Trump’s actions were not ‘official acts’ because his rally was privately funded and “privately organized.”

Federal prosecutors also argued that Trump used his X/Twitter account for “personal purposes.”

A status report to Judge Tanya Chutkan is due by Friday, August 30 (today) and the status conference is continued until September 5.

Like a burger without the meat, the well-told tale of Vice President Kamala Harris working at McDonald’s appears to be missing something: some proof.

The Washington Free Beacon sought to find a shred of evidence that the tale was real and reported that it came up empty.

Harris has been banking on the tale to connect with voters, according to The New York Times.

According to one Harris ad she was “the daughter of a working mom” and “worked at McDonald’s while she got her degree.”

For the record, Harris’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan was a cancer researcher at UC Berkeley working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, People noted.

Although a report in The New York Times said Harris worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, a city near Oakland, the Free Beacon said it could find no proof.

Kamala lying about working at McDonald’s would be the dumbest thing possible to lie about. But there doesn’t appear to be any record she ever worked there. https://t.co/1ZPwrWwZTI

The outlet, which said it has tried to find verification from McDonald’s but not received replies, noted that the lack of any mention of the job in any documents it reviewed does not mean Harris did not work where she now says she did, only that it can’t be proven as yet.

The Free Beacon report said its review of comments Harris made about the job found that the first public mention of working for McDonald’s was in 2019 when she was launching her failed campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

The job goes unmentioned in both of her memoirs, published in July 2010 and January 2019. Two biographies also do not mention the job.

Dan Morain, who wrote “Kamala’s Way: An American Life,” said he was unaware of the McDonald’s job.

NEW: The Harris campaign has given shifting accounts of her “summer job” at McDonald’s.

So we looked for evidence of it. She doesn’t mention it in her memoirs, & did not list it on a 1987 job application we obtained. more w/ @SaysSimonson @AndrewKerrNC https://t.co/GAWRaQ2s3O pic.twitter.com/EyUP8bfj33

The Free Beason said Harris’s October 1987 job application for a job at the Alameda County district attorney’s office also does not have a whiff of the Golden Arches.

Instructed to list every job held in the past 10 years, Harris — who was in law school at the time — noted a one-month clerical job but never mentioned McDonald’s.

The fact-checking site Snopes would not call the claim fraud, but reported that it was “researching” the claim.

“Harris has made this claim repeatedly over the years, and multiple reputable news outlets have reported on the story. But, aside from Harris’ testimony itself, there is no evidence (such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member) to independently verify the claim,” it wrote.

President Trump is holding a massive rally in western Pennsylvania at 1st Summit Arena on Napoleon Street in Johnstown.

This is President Trump’s first rally in western Pennsylvania since the attempted assassination in Butler on July 13.

A man tried to disrupt Trump’s rally and he promptly learned his lesson.

A protestor who managed to climb into the media pen was immediately tackled by law enforcement and escorted out of the arena.

Local police, sheriff’s deputies, troopers and security manhandled the protestor and led him away.

Thought he’d try a little something

Texas Judge Reed O’Connor who oversees Elon Musk’s lawsuit against the smear website Media Matters for America denied their motion to dismiss the case on Thursday.

Media Matters submitted its dismissal request in early March on the grounds that X’s case lacked “personal jurisdiction,” an “improper venue” and the “failure to state a claim.” O’Connor dismissed all of those claims, according to court records.

Judge Reed O’Conner dismissed all three complaints by Media Matters for America (MMFA).

Engadget reported:

The lawsuit filed last year in federal court seeks damages from the media watchdog group over “maliciously manufactured” images reporting that X’s platform placed Neo-Nazi and white-nationlist content next to advertisers’ images causing advertisers to flee the site. The images Media Matters used weren’t manufactured but X’s claim is that its dogged pursuit of ads’ placement with racist content by using certain accounts to bypass ad filters caused irreparable harm to the social media giant.

X owner Elon Musk’s other companies are located in Texas but aren’t directly connected to the Media Matters lawsuit. X closed its San Francisco offices earlier this month and owner Elon Musk announced in July that X’s headquarters will move to Austin. Tesla moved its headquarters from California to the Lone Star State in 2021 and SpaceX from Delaware earlier this year when a judge threw out a $56 billion pay package from the state.

However, in dismissing the personal jurisdiction argument, O’Connor noted that two of X’s “blue-chip” advertisers like AT&T and Oracle included in Media Matters’ coverage are based in Texas. He cited the landmark 2002 Internet defamation case Revell v. Lidov quoting the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals’ assertion that “if you are going to pick a fight in Texas, it is reasonable to expect that it be settled there.”

Elon Musk cheered the news, responding to George Behizy’s tweet on X “LFG!” … or Let’s F**king Go!

This comes after news last week that far left Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee out of Washington DC, ordered Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to halt his investigation into Media Matters for America.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent The Gateway Pundit a response to the ruling.

“Make no mistake: Media Matters ran to a DC Court in order to get out of complying with our investigation. The DC Court’s order effectively shuts down Missouri courts. We will be appealing the decision, and look forward to resuming our investigation on behalf of all affected Missourians.”

As we reported earlier, Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama donor, is famous for his persecution of Trump supporters.
