@FreeFairTweets
Mr. Pomerantz, a great book.
Hereās my take on why @ManhattanDA @AlvinBraggNYC didnāt pick up the baton:
It was simply way, way too much, way too early, and would have completely overwhelmed his entire agenda for DANY.
All Trump, all the time.

I think it was simply unrealistic to consider that new leadership would ever say yes, so early.

Here's what I wrote in #ETTD about Trump and Reince:
"Not long after Trump entered the race, Priebus feared Trump would bolt the party, run as an independent, and wreck the GOPās chances against Hillary Clinton. He absurdly believed that if he convinced Trump to sign a GOP...
"Not long after Trump entered the race, Priebus feared Trump would bolt the party, run as an independent, and wreck the GOPās chances against Hillary Clinton. He absurdly believed that if he convinced Trump to sign a GOP...
2/...loyalty pledge, Trump would support the party after he lost the primary and that the oath would moderate some of Red Hat Donās more grotesque excesses.
3/ So Priebus went to Trump Tower with a cheesy parchment that looked like it was extracted from a bin of discount award certificates at Office Depot and run through a knockoff-brand inkjet printer and had Trump sign it.
Even the companies with his name on them are felons. Convicted of tax fraud. In New York. But not the top guy. While he still remains under investigation by the Manhattan DA, Donald is a free man.
No matter how hard I try, itās hard not to post about this bottomless pit of criminality, narcissism, destruction. #ETTD Check out this article from USA TODAY:

The companies face criminal penalties of up to $1.6 million. The trial judge,Ā Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, said after the verdict that the companies would be sentenced on January 13.

They havenāt called it for Katie Hobbs yet, but she now has over 26,000 vote lead with 80% counted
Fine. For the record, I believed that the conventional wisdom of a Republican sweep was more or less inevitable until the SCOTUS overplayed their hand & pissed off 80% of the women in America. At which point, Biden started getting shit done & the future became far more ambiguous.
I remain skeptical that Tuesdayās results have changed much about the Trump-DeSantis contest, although there are pundits who appear to disagree. Iāll believe it when elected Republicans go on record supporting DeSantis against Trump without insisting on remaning anonymous.
One could indeed build a case for #ETTD based on midterm results. But these are general-election races. Among the GOP base, youāre either pro-Trump or a RINO. And virtually all RDS supporters voted for Trump, twice. Heāll get the Liz Cheney treatment if Trump brands him an enemy.
I didn't realize this. John Durham personally took over the Danchenko trial. What a personal and professional humiliation. #ETTD
I remember thinking the Danchenko indictment was a piece of crap from the start. It's pretty stunning that "top prosecutor" John Durham would think he could pull off a conviction on such thin and distorted facts.
Fox news and its propagandists also share in the humiliation, for their endless breathless hyping of the Durham probe, truly a witch hunt.

Let's talk for a second about the difference between "Trump judges" and "Trumpist judges", and whether that distinction really matters.
"Trump judges" are judges appointed by Donald Trump. There are a lot of them, at every level of the Federal judiciary. The same way there are still "Obama judges" and "Bush judges" and "Clinton judges" - and that, as Roberts insisted, there are none of those things
Judges are appointed to the bench by particular presidents, and they have judicial philosophies, but by far most judges (especially short of the Supreme Court) recognize that they are constrained by and have a duty to adhere to the law.

Rudy Giuliani. The FBI raided Rudy over a year ago and seized 18 devices. Rudy's NY bar license is suspended. As for his DC license, a disbarment hearing is scheduled for Oct. He's also been subpoenad in the Fani Willis Georgia criminal investigation.

3/ Jeffrey Clark. Authorities recently searched Clark's home while he stood outside in a dress shirt and drawers. Clark was Trump's DOJ stooge who championed false claims of election fraud. Others in DOJ said there would be mass resignations if Trump installed Clark at the top.
Mark Meadowsā life would be so much better today had Trump fired him for leaking to the press the details about how sick Trump was when he had COVID in October, 2020.
thesun.co.uk/news/12843307/ā¦
thesun.co.uk/news/12843307/ā¦
My theory is that because he knew Trump was mad at him for letting the world know, clumsily and on background, how sick Trump was, Meadows tried to worm his way back into Trumpās good graces by becoming a super-flunkie. Doing whatever Trump wanted in trying to undo the election.
If Trump had fired Meadows in 2020, he would have simply been the fourth WH Chief of Staff to leave the Trump Administration in less than four years. Life would have gone on. His predecessor, Mick Mulvaney, got a job.

We learned that Trump asked top DOJ officials to announce that the election was corrupt, promising to handle the rest. They refused. But other attorneys did not refuse -- the filed cases making insane allegations. Cases like this one: courthousenews.com/wp-content/uplā¦

A lot of OPM Rich Kid Systemic Failure Monkeys love the word "disruptor".
Terrorists are "Disruptors". A-Holes who know the extortion value to senseless murder, violence and destruction. Trump is a pussy so he projects this threat of violence using dimwits. But we will see this over the summer. As Mar a Rambo flicks terrorist boogers across America.

On January 22, 1988, Donald Trump hosted the first of two heavyweight title fights at trump plaza in New Jersey. He had no idea what he was doing. But, then he did. And he adapted quickly. 1988 was a banner year for Donald as outlined in this piece. politico.com/magazine/storyā¦
