#Holtec under ‘criminal investigation,’ EDA says in since-redacted court filing

By Matt Friedman and Katherine Landergan, June 24, 2020

"Holtec International, which received one of the biggest #TaxCredits in #NewJersey history, is under criminal investigation, according to a legal brief filed Monday by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

"The brief was in response to a lawsuit Holtec — an #energy technology company — filed against the EDA in March for holding up a $26 million payment on its $260 million tax incentive to build a facility in Camden. The delay was because of an allegedly false answer Holtec gave on its 2014 tax credit application.

“Holtec’s #misrepresentations — which include its failure to disclose a prior government debarment by the Tennessee Valley Authority (the ‘#TVA’) for bribing an official of that agency — first came to light during an investigation conducted by the Governor’s Task Force on the Economic Development Authority’s Tax Incentive Program, and they are now the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation,” reads the June 22 brief by attorney Ricardo Solano."

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis censured in Colorado for false election claims

#Jenna #Ellis, the Colorado attorney who was former President Donald Trump’s senior legal #advisor as he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss, has been #censured by a Colorado judge for misconduct.

The public censure order was signed Wednesday by Presiding Disciplinary Judge Bryon M. #Large, who oversees lawyer discipline cases in Colorado

Ellis has agreed that her statements about the election being stolen were #misrepresentations, which he said were made “with at least a reckless state of mind.”

Ellis also agreed that she, “through her conduct, #undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, #violating her duty of candor to the public,” Large wrote, adding that “a #selfish motive” and “a #pattern of misconduct” were aggravating factors in the case.

So where does a conviction that there is an international woke mob trying to pull the rug underneath your feet come from?

I would suggest that it comes from within: A cynically deep-rooted view of the world that societal change can only come from squashing those who disagree.

People see the world only through their own ideas, not those of others. Not capable of understanding change otherwise, the imagination fills in the gaps with their own ideas.

With the Democrats holding the senate #Midterms2022
And after spending some time on Mastodon, it's instructive following some heated Twitter "arguments" between different sides.
The #misrepresentations the #strawmanning, the #diversions, the unnecessary #aggression.
The #fallacies, the "my side" bias, the lack of #logicalreasoning and general #dishonesty is more obvious than ever.
Oh... and dont forget the bald arsed assertions. These usually come with, "It's true but you just don't want to see it."
