‘It’s Their Super Bowl’: Tuberville Calls NY Trial ‘Witch Hunt,’ ‘Planned Since He Decided to Run for President’

Jeff Poor 16 May 2024

Fresh off of his appearance in New York City alongside former President Donald Trump on Monday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) criticized New York prosecutors for what he deemed a “witch hunt” against the former president.

According to Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator, the jurors looked “bored” during the prosecution’s star witness Michael Cohen’s testimony. He also said the number of assistant district attorneys in the courtroom suggested the trial was “their Super Bowl.”

“Yeah, I went up there to support a friend, Donald Trump, and a true American, and I hope it’s going to be the next president,” Tuberville said in an interview Wednesday that aired on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5. “It’s obviously a witch hunt. We know that. You know, they had 20 assistant district attorneys in there. It’s their Super Bowl — going after the guy that they all want to bring down to get a notch in their gun. This has been planned since he decided to run for president.”

“And, of course, they want to make it as tough on President Trump as they could,” he continued. “They never used ‘President Trump’ as when they addressed him. They call him ‘Mr. Trump.’ And, you know, he’s so disliked by the left. This is not going to work. I sat there and watched the jurors, and there was 15 — three alternates, half women, half men. And, you know, they look very uninterested. There’s no way they’re going to get all of them to agree that this liar that’s Michael Cohen has any credibility at all. You know, he’s been in jail for lying.”

“So, that being said, I went up and, you know, he’s got a gag order on him,” Tuberville added. “And I went up to go out and speak on his behalf. He can’t speak like the rest of us can. You saw more go yesterday and trying to bring out the truth of really what’s going on. So — spent all day with the president, had lunch with him, had breakfast with him. You know, he’s obviously, you know, chomping at the bits to get out there and campaign every day. But it is what it is. You have to go through the system, and the truth will prevail. And as we get through this one, obviously, he’s got a couple more he’s got to look at down the way, but I don’t think those will really make it to the court.”

Translation: "I know the indictments are frivolously bogus, but 'pardoning' Trump would have made Trump look guilty!"

Romney's envy and bitterness over Trump having been elected President while he, Romney, had been rejected by voters is cringey.

Sounds like a pretty strong consensus to me.

Texas Scorecard by  Emily Medeiros May 15, 2024

Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham says she has no plans to hand over ownership of the island.


After Texas secured Fronton Island from the Mexican cartels, the Biden administration is now saying that the land is federal property.

Fronton Island is a 170-acre island situated in the Rio Grande between Starr County and Mexico and is known to be a hotspot for Mexican cartel trafficking.

In a letter from the International Boundary and Water Commission, Principal Engineer Ramon Macias asserts that “Fronton Island is federal property and is under the jurisdiction of the IWBC.” Macias asks the Texas General Land Office to remove any obstructions on the land—referencing two sediment bridges the Texas National Guard put in place after Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham certified the island as state-owned property.

Buckingham posted to X saying Texas won’t hand over ownership of the island.

“Texas has stepped up, and we have no intention of relinquishing our claim of ownership of Fronton Island,” wrote Buckingham. “As long as the people in that far away U.S. Capitol continue to ignore the people who sent them there, Texas and the @TXGLO, under my direction, will continue to do everything in its power to keep our families and communities safe!”

Texas Scorecard by  Erin Anderson May 15, 2024

The court held that the true outcome of the November 2022 race for 180th District Court cannot be determined.

A judge has ordered a redo of the November 2022 election between Tami Pierce and DaSean Jones for the 180th District Court in Harris County after finding far more illegal votes were cast in the race than the margin of victory.

Pierce, a Republican, contested her 449-vote loss to Democrat incumbent Jones in January 2023, but the case was delayed for nearly a year by a motion to dismiss filed by Jones.

Judge David Peeples, a visiting judge from San Antonio, ruled Wednesday that the true outcome of the election cannot be determined and ordered a new election.

Following a bench trial in April, Peeples found that a total of 1,751 votes in the race should not have been counted, including nearly a thousand illegal votes cast by voters who resided outside of Harris County and more than four hundred cast by voters with no photo ID and incomplete “reasonable impediment” forms.
