POTUS 45.66: Get Hard

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-media-auditor-misspelt-name-14-different-ways-ft-2024-4

The accountant hired to audit former President Donald Trump's social media company seemed to have a lot of trouble spelling his name, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

Ben F Borgers, the founder and managing partner of the accounting firm BF Borgers, spelled his name in 14 different ways in regulatory filings, the Financial Times reported, citing data it had reviewed from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Some variations, like Ben F Brogers and Ben F orgers, appeared to be minor spelling mistakes. But others, like Blake F Borgers and Ben F Vonesh, were entirely different names.
Representatives for BF Borgers and Trump Media & Technology Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.

These spelling snafus aren't the first time Borgers' work has been scrutinized.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board said it identified multiple deficiencies in every audit it had received from Borgers' accounting firm in the past two years, Bloomberg reported on April 8.
In November, Borgers' firm was also removed from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' peer review program.

BF Borgers, the organization said, was "so seriously deficient in its performance that education and remedial, corrective actions are not adequate."

Umm. David Pecker testifies that he had a joint call with Hope Hicks and Sarah Huckabee Sanders — taxpayer-funded WH officials at the time — about whether Karen McDougal’s contract should be extended. "Both of them said that they thought it was a good idea," Pecker said.

I mean I don't see how this doesn't destroy their arguments completely but I'm also not on the take. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/10-...eme-court-immunity-hearing/story?id=109635973

'What was up with the pardon of President Nixon?'

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson pressed Sauer on his contention that without immunity all future presidents would feel paralyzed to take official acts that could put them in criminal jeopardy.

"I mean, I understood that every president from the beginning of time essentially has understood that there was a threat of prosecution [upon leaving office]," Jackson said.

Sauer responded by quoting Ben Franklin from the constitutional convention, to which Jackson seemed skeptical.

"But since Benjamin Franklin everybody has presidents who have held the office [who knew] that they were taking this office subject to potential criminal prosecution, no?" she said.

She cited one well-known example of a former president who came under legal scrutiny.

"What was up with the pardon for President [Richard] Nixon? ... If everybody thought that presidents couldn't be prosecuted, then what -- what was that about?" she said.

"He was under investigation for both private and public conduct at the time -- official acts and private conduct," Sauer said, going on to indicate that there had long been established an understanding that presidents could be prosecuted for private acts.

"Counsel on that score, there does seem to be some common ground between you, your colleague on the other side, that no man's above the law and that the president can be prosecuted after he leaves office for his private conduct, is that right?" Justice Neil Gorsuch asked.

"We agree with that," Sauer answered.

"And then the question becomes, as we've been exploring here today, a little bit about how to segregate private from official conduct that may or may not enjoy some immunity," Gorsuch said.

That underscored what could emerge as a key part of the court's ultimate decision: how to separate out Trump's conduct that is protected by the presidency, under a ruling of some executive immunity, and what he is accused of doing outside the bounds of his presidential authority that can be prosecuted.

But Trump's attorney concedes some conduct was private

Not long after, Justice Amy Coney Barrett questioned Sauer precisely where some of the described conduct falls, between official and private -- protected or unprotected.

"You concede that private acts don't get immunity," she said.

"We do," Sauer said.

Barrett then specifically cited various alleged acts from Trump's push to overturn the 2020 election, as described by prosecutors.

Barrett, quoting from court filings, said, "I want to know if you agree or disagree about the characterization of these acts as private. Petitioner turned to a private attorney who was willing to spread knowingly false claims of election fraud to spearhead his challenges to the election results. Private?"

"We dispute the allegation, but that sounds private to me," Sauer said.

Barrett continued: "Petitioner conspired with another private attorney who caused the filing in court of a verification, signed by petitioner, that contained false allegations to support a challenge. Private?"

"Also sounds private," Sauer said.

"Three private actors, two attorneys, including those mentioned above, and a political consultant, helped to implement a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding and petitioner and a co-conspirator attorney directed that had effort." Barrett said.

"I believe that's private," Sauer replied.

"Those acts you would not dispute," Barrett said. "Those were private and you wouldn't raise a claim that they were official."

Sauer said back: "As characterized."

Dozing Donnie snoozing in court yet again today.

But Eric says his stamina is just incredible!!!!!
 
Donnie had quite the rally today...he thinks he is winning by 11 points there and wants to loco up a bunch of Latinos!
 
Wait, he actually went out 'campaigning' on his day off from sleeping in court? You mean he didn't go golfing?
 
And Donnie had to sit there and listen to this and other stuff being read out loud in the courtroom.

That is, if he was awake at the time.

My wife saw an article that said that in an effort to keep Trump awake, during sidebars one of his lawyers must stay behind with him at their table, and they have given Trump papers to shuffle on the desk during these down time moments.

"Which is exactly what we do dementia patients in our assisted living facility," my wife said.
