WSJ Editor Has Had It With Republicans Who Back Trump's Big Lie

“Will someone speak that truth at least?” Gerard Baker asked in a scathing column calling out GOPers who privately just want Trump to "go quietly away."

www.huffpost.com

In private, they say they know the 2020 election wasn't stolen. But they refuse to say it in public. Simply put, GOP leaders remain shackled to Donald Trump. “It is a desire expressed as fervently in private as it is assiduously and dexterously avoided in public,” said Baker, who served as the conservative newspaper’s editor-in-chief until 2018.​

The GOP Sin that Led to Disaster for the People of Flint, Michigan​

As we hit the eight-year anniversary of the Flint Water Crisis, one of the worst man-made public health disasters in U.S. history, it must be noted that the sin done on to the people of Flint didn’t just start or end with the switch in our drinking water source. Revenue-sharing was cut drastically, impacting the level that city services were able to be maintained. Public safety, water quality and legacy costs all took a hit. Black cities in this situation were set up to fail.

We could start counting the offenses done to us with the toxic dumping that occurred for years in Flint. We could count the discriminatory policies and systems of racism that caused Flint’s Black residents to live in neighborhoods more favorable to social and environmental injustices. But as I hear the cries of the small mostly Black town in Mason, Tennessee, which was recently taken over by a GOP-led state government just as millions of dollars were to roll into the city’s coffers, I am reminded of the discriminatory state government takeover of the city of Flint that preceded the callous and deadly decisions that would soon follow.

Just three years prior to the Flint Water Crisis, in November of 2012, Michigan voters, the people, spoke by repealing Public Act 4, a strengthened version of an earlier Michigan Emergency Manager law. However, shocking many, a lame duck Republican-led legislature disregarded the voice of the people and passed a “new” law, Public Act 436, which retained the previously repealed emergency manager model, the third sin.

McCarthy Feared G.O.P. Lawmakers Put ‘People in Jeopardy’ After Jan. 6​

Representative Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, feared in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack that several far-right members of Congress would incite violence against other lawmakers, identifying several by name as security risks in private conversations with party leaders.


© Pete Marovich for The New York TimesThe country was “too crazy,” Representative Kevin McCarthy said, for members to be talking and tweeting recklessly at such a volatile moment.


Mr. McCarthy talked to other congressional Republicans about wanting to rein in multiple hard-liners who were deeply involved in Donald J. Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election and undermine the peaceful transfer of power, according to an audio recording obtained by The New York Times.

But Mr. McCarthy did not follow through on the sterner steps that some Republicans encouraged him to take, opting instead to seek a political accommodation with the most extreme members of the G.O.P. in the interests of advancing his own career.

Mr. McCarthy’s remarks represent one of the starkest acknowledgments from a Republican leader that the party’s rank-and-file lawmakers played a role in stoking violence on Jan. 6, 2021 — and posed a threat in the days after the Capitol attack. Audio recordings of the comments were obtained in reporting for a forthcoming book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future.”

Reedy Creek Fires Back at DeSantis Attempt to Repeal Disney’s Special Taxing District​

Florida’s Contractual Obligations to Bond Holders Block Repeal of Disney’s Special Taxing District, Says Reedy Creek in New Statement​

Ever since Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed the bill repealing the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), the special taxing district operating on the 25,000 acre parcel the Walt Disney Company owns in Central Florida, there has been a lot of discussion of various ways Disney might challenge the bill, chiefly on First Amendment grounds. A new statement issued by RCID brings to light a simpler and direct obstacle to repealing the district’s existence: the state’s contractual obligations related to RCID’s bond debts.

Last week, this reporter wrote a deep-dive analysis of the repeal of RCID for Mediaite, including the looming consequences thereof, not just for Disney but for the Central Florida economy as a whole. Specifically, the elimination of RCID as a legal entity does not eliminate the district’s $2 billion bond debt and would instead transfer that to Orange and Osceola Counties.

Florida law prohibits counties from treating taxpayers differently by charging different tax rates unless there is a special taxing district specifically authorizing such differential treatment, so Orange and Osceola would have to spread that debt payment across all of their taxpayers. Orange County Tax Collector Scott Randolph estimated that this would raise taxes in his county between $2,200 and $2,800 per family of four.

Two Central Florida local government attorneys were cited in the previous Mediaite article raising objections about the complexity of unwinding RCID; another one is now speaking out on this issue of RCID’s bond debt. In an article for Bloomberg Tax, Jacob Schumer of the firm of Shepard, Smith, Kohlmyer & Hand pointed out the “contractual impossibility of unwinding” RCID.

RCID is structured to operate in many ways like a local government entity, and like many cities and counties across the country it borrows money for ongoing infrastructure development by issuing bonds. This type of debt is usually viewed as very secure by the lenders due to the real property that secures it and the transparency of the district’s governing rules and financial records, meaning RCID can borrow money in this way with a low interest rate.

Rand Paul Brings Putin’s Core Argument Against Ukraine to Congress​

At the core of Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine is the notion of sovereignty — and in particular, whether Ukraine deserves it. Ukrainians, and the vast majority of people and governments in the rest of the world, say it does. Russia, which invaded the country in late February in an attempt to overthrow its government and make it into a subservient vassal state, says it doesn’t. Apparently, U.S. Senator Rand Paul also believes Ukraine isn’t a state, based on this head-scratching exchange with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

NY attorney general's office says it's nearly done unraveling Trump's 'Russian nesting doll'​

Lawyers for the New York State Attorney General's Office said they are nearly finished with their civil investigation into the Trump Organization, after taking steps to unravel the real estate company's assets that they described as being as complex as a "Russian nesting doll."

They still want to search two cell phones belonging to former President Donald Trump and the laptop and desktop of his longtime executive assistant Rhona Graff, but investigators told a judge this week they're moving quickly.


"The process is near the end," Kevin Wallace, senior enforcement counsel at the New York State Attorney General's Office, said Monday.

A third-party firm hired to search the Trump Organization's files had identified 151 custodians, or people or entities, that might have documents sought by the attorney general's office, but Wallace said they are focusing on the "most important outstanding pieces of information" because the clock is ticking for it to file a lawsuit.

Gaetz lashes out at McCarthy, Scalise after leaked comments​

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) on Tuesday after The New York Times published a report that featured recorded comments from the two congressmen airing concerns about the Florida Republican’s remarks following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Gaetz in a statement posted to Twitter called McCarthy and Scalise “weak men.”

“Rep McCarthy and Rep. Scalise held views about President Trump and me that they shared on sniveling calls with Liz Cheney, not us,” Gaetz wrote. “This is the behavior of weak men, not leaders.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the Times reported that McCarthy, during a call with GOP leadership on Jan. 10, 2021, said Gaetz was “putting people in jeopardy.” He was particularly concerned with comments the Florida Republican made that attacked Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot, according to the Times.

GOP Rep. Scott Perry claimed 'the Brits' were manipulating the 2020 election results and asked Mark Meadows to 'immediately seize' Dominion voting machines​

• Perry urged Meadows to have the NSA seize Dominion voting machines based on conspiracy theories.
• He also embraced other conspiracy theories, including that "the Brits" had manipulated voting machines.
• Perry, a Republican from Pennsylvania, is now the chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

Newly-revealed text messages between Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows show that the congressman pushed a variety of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

According to CNN, Perry told Meadows — a one-time House member who became President Donald Trump's chief of staff during the final year of his administration — to have US intelligence agencies investigate Dominion voting machines.

Lawmakers to look at Supreme Court ethics changes after Ginni Thomas' election texts stirred debate​

AHouse panel will hold a hearing Wednesday on whether to change ethics requirements at the Supreme Court, a month after reports revealed Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, texted a Trump administration official in early 2021 and urged him to overturn the 2020 election.

Ginni Thomas’ texts, along with her admission she attended Trump's speech before the violence erupted, renewed debate over ethics standards on the nation's highest court because Justice Thomas sided with Trump in a case where Trump was seeking to keep insurrection-related communication secret.

It is not yet known whether Ginni Thomas’ texts were in that batch of communication, or whether Justice Thomas knew about his wife’s efforts related to the election, but the issue once again sparked uproar about when Supreme Court justices should recuse themselves.

The bills that are likely to come up at the 2 p.m. hearing of a House Judiciary subcommittee would require justices to follow a binding code of ethics. The nation’s highest court does not regard itself as legally bound to the code of ethics that other federal judges follow, but justices say they consult that code and take ethics very seriously.

Similar bills to change ethics at the nation’s highest court have been introduced since 2011, and Congress has not passed them. During that time, the nonpartisan advocacy group Fix the Court logged 52 ethical lapses among justices appointed by Republicans and Democrats alike.

“This is a Congress that can't agree on the time of day,” said Russell Wheeler, a scholar at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution. “Most Republicans will say, ‘Well, his wife's behavior may be a little strange,’ or as they say, ‘Well, she's entitled to that,’ but they'll certainly defend Justice Thomas, and I don't think they'd want to be a party to legislation that would seem to be a slap in the face to him.”

Gabe Roth, the executive director of Fix the Court, said congressional Democratic leaders have never before shown this type of momentum on addressing Supreme Court ethics. But he said he is hesitant to be “totally optimistic” about change coming, in part because the judiciary has resisted such efforts in the past.
