His style of criming was well suited to white collar grifting but not the big leagues I read an indepth piece about his misuse of both accrual and cash base accounting at the same time. It was obviously a huge scam, and after many years resulting in having to pay a settlement to the City. But it was a scam committed via his white collar advisers so the kind of thing no one ever goes to jail for. Ditto the Stormy thing that first brought a significant piece of his crime empire is an example of the kind of thing that would have been fine if he hadn't joined the big leagues. Cohen was way out of his depth
I’m ok with everything going in this order. It gets the GOP to publicly defend Trump. I remain hopeful that when the full scale of the documents case comes out…that the majority of his most ardent political supporters will pretend they never knew him. I’d like to have post indictment receipts between the NY indictment and the big ones coming.
What has been fascinating is the NY 'indictment' totally derailed the elite GOP efforts to move on from Trump. Particularly McCarthy and co could not bend over and present fast enough - demonstrating how firm Trump's grip is over them.
The same Fkr Carlson! Lindy Li @lindyli · Mar 21 Tucker Carlson is begging Biden to “halt Trump’s indictment for the sake of the country” Same Tucker who trashes Biden’s son Hunter every night Same Tucker who tried to delegitimize Biden’s win Same Tucker who injects Trump’s lies into American veins Yeah Tucker you can GFY Show this thread
Just curious but has anyone seen or heard of Merrick Garland these past few months or is he still in hiding.
Legal beagle on MSNBC said Corcoran taking the 5th isn't out of the question. My Attorneys Got Attorneys and all that.
I’m going write a 200 tweet thread of fanfic about how garland is gonna do a fascism and arrest the whole GOP and Soros bankrolls Joe as president for life
I'm totally past worrying about how any Trump indictment/prosecution will look to Trump loyalists/conservatives/Republicans. If Melania was stabbed to death by Donald while handcuffed to the Mar-a-Lago fence live on tv, the same people would claim it was self-defense and that Soros was behind it.
The Titanic (the Republican Party) needs to sink with all of the rats still on board. None must be allowed to escape.
WOULD SOMEONE, ANYONE LOCK HIM THE F UP?? I can't believe we have to even wait for indictment & trial. "Soros backed animal" is a nice racist two-fer https://t.co/paNi6XFagC— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) March 23, 2023
This is real. Trump posts link to NRA website while responding to an article about Bragg Jesus. pic.twitter.com/lf16ktC678— Mueller, She Wrote (@MuellerSheWrote) March 23, 2023 Merrick- had you indicted for Muellers obstruction Trump would already be in jail. You would have gotten the classified dice back over a year earlier than you did…and you wouldn’t have a man running for president with an army of supporters who have shown they’re willing to kill people to do his bidding.
True. If l only a whole bunch of them had gotten together, at his public bidding, and committed violent crimes we would have then known how dangerous trump really was. Who could have known?
So the post is real…my interpretation is not. He didn’t link to the NRA. He just showed a picture of himself holding a baseball bat next to a picture of Bragg. So much better. Edit: I’ll bookmark this post because we all know that is coming
I would love for NY AG to indict Trump just for that picture -- and then let DeSantis squirm over whether he would allow him to be extradited.
Wonder if Jack Smith is telling NY to hold off. Just say a juror is sick. We got him selling classified docs.
If anyone is interested Preets latest podcast has discussion with 3 former prosecutors on the Bragg case. it explains quite well some important issues like why the Feds didn’t bring this case and the arguments for and against prosecuting. I agree with prosecuting. Cohen went to jail for this and it would be absurd if trump didn’t get indicted for the same transaction.
One of the former prosecutors also noted that Trump's lawyer goons have made damaging admissions on TV. One of them especially admitted that Trump had paid Stormy because she extorted him - so this concedes one of the things that the government has to prove.
Imagine how difficult it was to nail mob bosses BITD. Then look at the evidence we've all seen & heard for this orange lump. Like the Perfect Georgia Call. WTF is it taking over 2 years?
I was thinking the same thing. What's this major story based on? I guess the mainstream media really missed talking about Donald. And Donald really missed hearing about himself on the news. He farts out one or two tweets and it becomes the top 2/3 stories on the national news every day for a week! Even as all other indications were pointing towards no imminent arrest and the case not wrapping up any time soon, the media kept spewing nonsense about a Tuesday arrest. Then Tuesday passed and it became "any moment now". That is some brilliant journalism.
Well, the elites and those who play them on TV are not below groveling to the "enemy" to get their spawn into our elite universities
