Special Master Dearie quickly holds Donald Trump’s feet to the fire, as Trump’s stunt backfires
For some reason Donald Trump and his attorneys thought that Judge Raymond Dearie, who has been a federal judge since the 1980s and has a reputation and career to protect, would somehow be a favorable special master pick for them. Trump and his team are quickly finding out that things don’t work that way. Special…
Read MoreDonald Trump is finished in this lifetime
It’s no surprise that Donald Trump’s favorability has been dropping even further of late, and is now down in the low thirties in one new poll. The 1/6 public hearings, the FBI raid of his home, and the news that he stole classified secrets, have turned a number of people in the middle against him.…

How cool is this? Bowzer from Sha Na Na is out there helping Democrats in competitive House races win in the midterms: Bowzer is a living legend. He performed at Woodstock. He’s name checked in Adam Sandler’s Chanukah Song. And he’s out there volunteering for Democratic midterm candidates. If he can do it, so can…
Read MoreOne of Donald Trump’s closest associates is going on federal criminal trial this week – look for him to flip if he’s convicted
Worth watching: Trump money man Tom Barrack goes on trial this week on charges of selling Trump White House influence to Middle Eastern governments. These are complex charges, so a conviction isn’t guaranteed – but it’s highly likely. If Barrack is convicted, he’ll have to cut a cooperation deal against Trump if he wants to…
Read MoreThe real reason Matt Gaetz hasn’t been indicted (yet)
Why hasn’t Matt Gaetz been indicted yet? We keep hearing pundit chatter about how it’s due to the “60 day rule” about not indicting a candidate close to election day – but that’s not what’s going on here. The DOJ has reportedly had three cooperating witnesses against him for several months. This means he could have…

Ron DeSantis is evil, but we need to talk more about his biggest vulnerability
Ron DeSantis is one of the dumbest people in politics and he’s in way over his head. Stop pretending he’s an evil genius, that just helps him build the narrative that he’s unstoppable. We must constantly point out how dumb he is, and how bad he is at this. Humiliate the bastard. If you talk…

Someone is trying to throw Mark Meadows under the bus today
Donald Trump put in all that effort for THAT?
If this judge were trying to help Trump, she’d have issued a more subtle and grounded pro-Trump ruling that the appeals court might have been more hesitant to overrule. Instead she gave Trump precisely what he wanted, even though it won’t help him. We’ve seen this pattern with Trump and his sycophants a lot over…

The DOJ has likely seized a lot more Trump world cellphones this week than just Mike Lindell
The real reason the DOJ is rolling up on Donald Trump and Trump world this week
Why is the DOJ just now seizing all these phones from Trump people? It likely already obtained their texts and emails from the carrier awhile back. Seizing the phones is for confirmation, and for seeing what else it can find on them. Seizing phones isn’t the beginning of the investigation, it’s the beginning of the…
Read MoreMark Meadows is cooperating with the DOJ against Donald Trump
Mark Meadows is cooperating with the DOJ in its January 6th probe against Donald Trump, according to a strangely worded new CNN article whose source is perhaps Meadows himself. In any case, this might be the worst news for Trump yet. Meadows knows more about Trump’s crimes than anybody. This is a weird sentence from…

Good news for the Democrats in the House midterms
With just eight weeks remaining until the midterms, the Republicans are still slightly favored to win the House – but the Democrats continue to incrementally gain ground. On Tuesday the Economist moved Florida’s 27th House District to a Toss Up, putting it into play for Democratic candidate Annette Taddeo. And House Democrat Tom Malinowski got…

Lindsey Graham just kicked over an anthill
Senate Republicans don’t have the votes to pass an abortion ban. Nor will introducing this legislation help their midterm prospects. Nor could the Republicans override a Biden veto on this even if they did win the midterms. This is a vile attempt at a distraction. Lindsey Graham is giving away that he expects Donald Trump’s…

Palmer Report Editorial Note
Dear Palmer Report readers, The Democrats have now won two key special elections in a row heading into the midterms. The Feds are closing in on Donald Trump, as justice is carried out. These are exciting times. Even as this DOJ probe increasingly plays out in public view and the 1/6 public hearings prepare to…
Read MoreThe end of Donald Trump
It’s worth noting that the DOJ never did announce that it had carried out a search and seizure warrant at Donald Trump’s home. Trump did that himself. This criminal probe would all likely still be playing out in secret until Trump is indicted. But because Trump’s antics forced it to play out in public, DOJ…

Steve Bannon criminally indicted in New York – what’s really going on here?
Back in February of 2021 – a year and a half ago – a major news outlet reported that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office was criminally investigating Steve Bannon for his “build the wall scam,” after Donald Trump had pardoned Bannon on federal charges for the same crime. Since that time, very little else has…
