Liz Cheney, at Harris rally, says Trump on Jan 6 was 'depravity'
Reuters Videos9 hours agoSTORY: :: Liz Cheney calls Trump’s actions on Jan 6 ‘depravity’ while campaigning with Harris :: October 3, 2024 :: Ripon, Wisconsin “Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice our Capitol, to allow law enforcement officers to be beaten and brutalized in his name and to violate the law and the Constitution in order to seize power for himself. I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican or an independent, that is depravity and we must never become numb to it.” “I know that the most conservative of conservative values is fidelity to our Constitution. I tell you, I have never voted for a Democrat. But this year, I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.” Cheney and her father Dick Cheney, who was vice president under George W. Bush, are staunch conservatives and two of the most prominent Republicans to have endorsed Harris against Trump. Both have sharply criticized Trump, the Republican nominee, calling his refusal to accept his 2020 election loss and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol disqualifying. "I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray tanning," Cheney joked, describing herself as a Ronald Reagan conservative. "I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris," she said, her first vote ever for a Democrat. The former House of Representatives member said she and Harris may disagree on some things but they are bound together by their duty to the Constitution. Harris will be a president "who will defend the rule of law," Cheney said. Cheney's comments could help Harris as she tries to court Republican and centrist voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

- 1:44New Trump subversion charges 'even more extreme' - legal analystReuters VideosSTORY: :: Analyst says Trump’s actions to overturn the 2020 election were 'more extreme' :: October 3, 2024 :: Washington, D.C. :: Paul Schiff Berman, Law Professor, George Washington University "What we learned today is that Trump's actions were even more extreme and more outrageous than we knew beforehand. We knew the general outlines, but the fact that so many people told him that he had no argument whatsoever that the election was actually fraudulent and that he continued pursuing this, that he had no interest at all in Mike Pence's safety and instead was willing to allow the mob to go after him violently and didn't seem to care. These are things that are beyond the bounds of what a president in his official capacity should ever be contemplating doing. So if we can't prosecute someone like that for acts like this, then we really don't have a constitutional democracy at all." "Trump was told by those closest to him that his claims of election fraud were completely without merit. And the reason that's important is that then when he continues to claim 'election fraud,' he's not doing it as the chief law enforcement officer of the country, trying to take care that laws are faithfully executed. He's doing it as a candidate who's trying to sow confusion in the electorate so that he can engage in what is effectively a coup against democracy." "Donald Trump faces pretty high stakes in this election. He really needs to win so that he can at least delay the prosecutions until after he's out of office or possibly scuttle them altogether." U.S. prosecutors said Donald Trump was acting outside the scope of his duties as president when he pressured state officials and then-Vice President Mike Pence to try to overturn his 2020 election defeat, the filing shows. The 165-page filing is likely the last opportunity for prosecutors to detail their case against Trump before the Nov. 5 election given there will not be a trial before Trump faces Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. And according to Paul Schiff Berman of George Washington University Law School, Trump's legal peril has increased. "There is a real chance of prosecution," he said in an interview. "Donald Trump faces pretty high stakes in this election. He really needs to win so that he can at least delay the prosecutions until after he's out of office or possibly scuttle them altogether." The filing is meant to keep the federal criminal election subversion case against the Republican presidential candidate moving forward following a July U.S. Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for their official actions in office. Prosecutors working with Special Counsel Jack Smith laid out a sweeping account of Trump's conduct following the 2020 election, much of which has already been made public through news reports, findings from the House committee that investigated the Capitol riot or the indictment obtained by Smith in the case. It includes an allegation that a White House staffer heard Trump tell family members that "it doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell." "The most important set of revelations has to do with the number of times Trump was told by those closest to him that his claims of election fraud were completely without merit. And the reason that's important is that then when he continues to claim 'election fraud,' he's not doing it as the chief law enforcement officer of the country," Berman said. Trump has pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges accusing him of a conspiracy to obstruct the congressional certification of the election, defraud the U.S. out of accurate results and interfere with Americans’ voting rights. Much of the filing focuses on Trump's dealings with then-vice president and running mate Mike Pence, who Trump tried to pressure into using his official role overseeing Congress's Jan. 6, 2021, certification of the election results to overturn his defeat. Trump gave a fiery speech that day before his supporters stormed the Capitol, battling police, sending lawmakers running for their lives and chanting "hang Mike Pence." Pence was identified by name throughout the filing. The names of many other members of Trump's administration, allies and state officials he targeted are blacked out, though details of their locations and actions make their likely identities clear. The filing shows instances of Trump privately mocking the claims his allies were publicly making on his behalf. For instance, during a phone call with an unidentified lawyer who appears to be Sidney Powell, Trump put her on mute and called her claims "crazy," the filing said. Trump has rejected this case and multiple other criminal prosecutions he faced this year as politically motivated attempts to prevent him from returning to power. "These are things that are beyond the bounds of what a president in his official capacity should ever be contemplating doing. So if we can't prosecute someone like that for acts like this, then we really don't have a constitutional democracy at all," Berman said.10 hours ago

- 3:16First floods, now water outages in North Carolina after HeleneReuters VideosSTORY: Tens of thousands of people in North Carolina did not have running water on Wednesday (October 2). It’s been six days since Hurricane Helene carved a path through the U.S. South, killing scores of people. Now residents of hard-hit Asheville have been warned to expect dry faucets for days or even weeks while pipes are repaired. Search-and-rescue teams have been helping to deliver water – and comb through wreckage for the missing. Paul Tartar is the leader of the federal FEMA team at Texas A&M Task Force 1. "This is obviously a major disaster, it really affects everybody here, especially the locals that are impacted. It's it's beyond anything I've ever seen." Survivors in the town of Canton, west of Asheville, have been left to pick up the pieces of lives ruined. Martika Stansell and her family are taking stock of what’s left. “That was my son’s room – he lost everything. Everything below the waist was lost.” “We have got to rebuild everything. Our floors are bad, my kids lost everything. We’re waiting on FEMA to approve our application to hopefully get a hotel voucher. We’re staying at my mom’s right now, but, eight people in a two bedroom house - it’s super crowded, with four dogs too.” Ashley Wells, another resident of Canton, says no one there expected how bad Helene got. “Well, out of all the floods that have come through here, in the seventy-one and seventy-three years they’ve lived here, it never came up past the front step of the house. This one came through the house. So, it was unexpected. I mean, we did - it was, we were not told it was gonna be worse than Fred. Fred was like, the disaster here. So, really nobody was that prepared." "We haven’t seen FEMA, we haven’t seen Red Cross, we haven’t seen Hearts with Hands - we’ve seen no agencies come through here. Most people drive through with their cameras out, filming us like we’re animals in a zoo, and don’t stop." "You’ve got some nice people, that are stopping, but majority, no. We’ve seen no help through here." While residents like Wells say they haven’t seen assistance, the White House says more than $10 million had been provided directly to those affected by Helene. Wells also said she’s also wary of leaving behind what she still has. “We could go to the shelter, but, I mean… animals don’t want to go to the shelter, why do we? You know, and not to mention the fact that, if you get away from your stuff a little bit, people are coming through and picking through it. And I don’t know why they wanna pick through it, but I mean - they are.” President Joe Biden visited the state Wednesday to survey from a helicopter its washed out roads, smashed bridges and downed power lines. He said earlier this week he may ask Congress to return to Washington to pass supplemental funding for aid. The White House said more than 3,500 federal workers are involved in response efforts in affected states. Former President Donald Trump, a Republican running against Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election, has falsely claimed that Biden has been unresponsive to the hurricane's destruction. Local officials have denied that allegation.1 day ago

- 1:51Vance, Walz surrogates weigh in after mostly polite debateReuters VideosSTORY: :: Republicans and Democrats share their thoughts on the debate between Tim Walz and J.D. Vance :: October 1, 2024 :: New York :: Mark Kelly, Democratic Senator, Arizona “100%, I think he (Tim Walz) hit the grand slam on that issue (abortion). Made it perfectly clear to the American people where Donald Trump and JD Vance stand, and that is they do not stand with American women. And it is putting women at risk. There are women dying, dying across our country. Governor Walz mentioned one of them in Georgia who has died because Donald Trump took away the right of a woman to make this decision between her and her doctor.” :: Jason Miller, Trump Advisor “We're not going to bring down the cost of groceries, or bring down the cost of gas. We're not going to able to make our communities safe. That's exactly what J.D. Vance and Donald Trump will do. They will make our communities safe. I think what was exposed tonight, is that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris – they're all slogans. :: J.B. Pritzker, Illinois Democratic Governor “Look, I think what you saw is like, you know, a guy (Walz) who, you know, got a date wrong about a trip, a field trip that he took, right, versus a guy who frankly called his running mate America's Hitler. He called Donald Trump a Nazi. So, this is a real contrast.” :: Donald Trump Jr, Trump's son “You see what's going on in the grocery stores. And I don't honestly think that you can get even a remotely fair debate from mainstream media. I don't think it makes any sense. I think the American people have had for years under the Harris Biden administration. They've had four years under Donald Trump. When were you better off? When were you safer? We went from a time of peace to a time of war. We went from a time of prosperity to a time of poverty. This is a no brainer. I don't, I don't think a debate is going to change that at this point and certainly not the way it was handled last time, which I think was just honestly disgusting.” The most tense exchange occurred near the end of the debate, when Vance - who has said he would not have voted to certify the results of the 2020 election - avoided a question about whether he would challenge this year's vote if Trump loses. Walz responded by blaming Trump's false claims of voter fraud for instigating the Jan. 6, 2021, mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in an unsuccessful effort to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election.2 days ago
