U.S. Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith has just filed a new Motion, on behalf of the U.S. government, disclosing vitally important new evidence in Trump’s January 6th Capitol riot case. The motion asks the Court to rule on the whether some of Trump’s alleged acts were “official” acts or acts as a private citizen, the latter being crimes the former being exempt from prosecution as covered by executive privilege under the recent Supreme Court ruling. A discussion of new Motion and a link to the Motion itself are provided in second (middle) portion of the blog post below. Thus all the reader has to do is click on the appropriate link below and they can read the actual motion itself.

Hey folks Stony here.
Well, the rest of the station has gone on strike
Same old same old
Management just a tad stingy
I feel bad for busting the picket line tonight
But there’s too much crap goin’ on
Out there
In the big bad world
Frankly I’m scared
I kinda need somethin’ to do
Sorta share
I don’t wanna get all touchy feely here but…..
You know.
Just reachin’ out
I happened to have this higga ma jigger
Really its quite ancient
Back in the day it was known as an 8 track
It’s a tape
Very bulky
Doesn’t give you very much of a chance
To skip around on tunes
Ya just slip it in the slot
And it plays from start to finish
And ya gotta listen to it all in order
Anyway
I happened to have made my own
Back in 71
Back when we had about half a million men
Fightin’ a very unpopular war
In Vietnam
Nowadays we got
Bombing after bombing
Skirmish After skirmish
War after war
Ukraine, the Middle East and whatnot
Who knows where all this is leadin’
Anyway Vietnam
caused a lot of societal division
just like today.
And we lost one hell of a lot of good men
So I’m just gonna slip this baby in here
And her play front to back.
Then I’ll play tape 2 when that’s done
Why am I doin’ this
Well, suffice it to say that
This tape kinda expresses how I’m feelin’ about everything
So, in any event
And without further ado
Here we go.,….

Alright!
Well let’s give credit and/or blame
Where credit and/or blame is due
That was…
In order
Jethro Tull with My God
Edwin Starr with War
And Jefferson Airplane with Somebody to Love

Okay folks normally Rufus Coldwater would be giving us his opinion on matters trivial, however he’s not here, so all I can really do is what I can do.
As everyone may know, the U.S. Department of Justice’s special prosecutor in the Trump case , namely Jack Smith, has filed a new motion in Court regarding the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol in the days immediately preceding the swearing in of Joe Biden after the 2020 election. I don’t want to exaggerate but It’s difficult to imagine a more important motion in our nation’s history than Jack Smith’s new motion. It addresses the concerns of the Supreme Court in its most recent decision this past summer. Smith’s motion sets forth some startling new evidence of what exactly occurred during the Capitol riots and Vice President Mike Pence’s attempt to conduct the official electoral vote count that would have (and ultimately did) certify Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.
Of tremendous importance is the fact that the government’s new motion (Smith’s motion) brings to light evidence not previously presented. The government was forced to do this because of the Supreme Court’s ruling this past summer that Trump is immune from prosecution for crimes committed while he was performing “official acts” as President. The new evidence cited in this new government motion is intended to show that Trump was not acting in his official capacity when he committed many of the crimes he is charged with. The entire story is simply spine chilling in a couple of instances and is ultimately very disturbing because one can clearly see how fragile our democracy is. But I’ll leave to all of you folks to read about it yourself because I don’t want to exaggerate or mislead anyone.
Simply put, however, the stakes for the continuance of democracy in the upcoming 2024 election could not be higher. And if you don’t believe that then read Jack Smith’s motion. In short, all Americans, especially those who are even remotely considering a vote for Trump must read the Department of Justice’s new (Oct. 2, 2024) motion in the Trump criminal case. Not to do so, simply put, is a vote to recklessly endanger, if not destroy, democracy in this country.

Here is an interview done with Professor Lawrence Tribe about Smith’s new motion. This is a very important interview to listen to because Tribe is universally recognized as one of the top Constitutional Law experts in the country by almost all lawyers. This is because Tribe’s Constitution Law casebook was the textbook their professors assigned to them when they were in law school.

No tomatoes on this bad boy
And yes I luv them anchovies
And lots of onions and shrooms
And smothered With feta cheese
Ewee baby…yummy good
Yes, Yinz guessed it
I can thank
Our very own
A-1 Executive Assistant
Producer
Of Everything
Ms. Suzi
For fighten her way thru the picket line
And giving me this glorious pie
But there’s a catch
She says
That some of Yinz folks might be
Thinkin’ that ole Stony
Has gotten a little too serious here
So, before givin’ me my Pizza
She made me promise to play these next
Two tunes
And by dingies they are actually from
The 2020s !!!
Little Suz is a thoroughly modern Millie
And Suz may find this hard to believe
But I’m actually familiar with this band
Folks
This band is originally from Kansas
Is fronted by a super talented gal
Named little Miss Sadie Morningstar
Trust me you’ll remember her
But they’ve since moved to England
…to a town there called Bristol I believe
And let me tell Yinz
Little Miss Morningstar
Not only plays a smokin hot
’59 Danoelectric Geeeetttarr
But she’s absolutely perfectamundo
…just perfect
I can really dig on her and her band
But I’ll let everyone judge for themselves
As little Ms. Sadie would say
“Now I gotta man who loves me
…..And a boyfriend too
I don’t luv em near as much
As a new tattoo
…cos I’m a red hot mama
Gonna get me a
New tattoo…..NEW TATTOO !…….”
https://youtu.be/rJ3izkLN2nI?si=Txtzzt0koemQ3AYT
By dingies Shazam and wowwie gazowee
little Miss Morningstar
Can sing it oh so well…can’t she?
She can definitely bring home the bacon.
And like all precocious youngsters
She’s inquisitive
And like all bad girls
She has a soul that
Probably…as Sadie says…
…. can’t be saved
But while some of Yinz boyz out there
May think you know how to love her
As she puts it
She has a more important question
…can ya give her a thrill?!+
…just a little thrill ?!”
https://youtu.be/DDIKlGPjbmc?si=3lG0n_YUjqKSRpeU
I don’t know about Yinz but she sure gives me a thrill.
How she gets that great fuzzy sound
out of single coil pickups on her Danoelectric
I don’t know
But I love it
I just love her gggeeetttarr playin’
And I especially love her
Impish stage presence
And devilish ambience
She’s kinda like a
very precocious
Younger sister
Who takes no prisoners
When venturing out into the world
The Mudd Club is definitely goin’ places.
And if I didn’t say it the title of those two tunes were
New Tattoo
And Gimme a Thrill
Well, folks Rufus ain’t here to keep me on track
But I can see from the clock on the wall
that we are about to
Get cut off
So, let’s see if I can come up
With an appropriate Wind Up selection
Melding our two halves this evenin’
Oh….yes
Come to think of it
I think I can
Here’s our now very old
But dear dear friend once again
I.A. with the rest of JT
With just the tune
That kinda sums up
Any rebellious teenager’s attitude
https://youtu.be/cYnfA932k2k?si=mfr4DNoiigil7SS0
That, of course, was Jethro Tull
With a tune called
Fittingly
Wind Up
Well that does it folks
We are plain outta time
So…
This is Stony Riva
For Suzi
Sayin’ good night
Don’t let the Bed Bugs Bite
And let me add
Don’t forget tonight’s homework.
