Let me illustrate what a total idiot Trump has been. He now knows he will lose in November, all his own campaign staff say so, his FUNDING has ended, even Putin has stopped sending money because Trump will lose the election. Hence #TrumpCoupPlot
Idiot Convict Thread 2/12
Trump has committed a LONG series of crimes from LONG before he became President. Some of those are TAX crimes for example in New York state - crimes Pence cannot pardon Trump for. Trump is already investigated for tax crimes by NY Attorney General
Idiot Convict Thread 3/12
So I am not talking about Trump's NEW crimes while Potus, they will be ADDED ONTO his rap sheet while he is in prison & will go through DOZENS of criminal trials, losing most of them
I'm talking taxes. Tax crimes don't expire. No statute of limitations
Idiot Convict Thread 4/12
Trump KNOWS he is a criminal. He THOUGHT he was getting away with his crimes when he was in White House and had GOP holding Congress
Then a Stormy thing happened one day. The FBI raided Michael Cohen's office. THAT raid sends Trump to prison for life
Idiot Convict Thread 5/12
If Trump had been SMART. When Michael Cohen's office was raided by FBI, Trump should have sent attorneys to Mueller and asked for a deal. Stop the investigations & Trump steps down, but no prison time. Then have Pence take over as President
Idiot Convict Thread 6/12
When Trump still had a GOP Congress, he could have easily have negotiated a 'full pardon' package with Pence like Ford pardoned Nixon. & while Mueller had only just SEEN the New York tax frauds, Trump attorneys probably could have ended that with a FEE
Idiot Convict Thread 7/12
Trump could have gotten wealthy Republican donors to pick up his tab, pay a fee to New York state, have Mueller end the investigations emerging from Michael Cohen's office - settle with Stormy & other sex crimes - and be a free man & 'popular' ex POTUS
Idiot Convict Thread 8/12
Trump KNEW the Michael Cohen office raid meant TAX FRAUD was a guilty verdict in New York. Trump KNEW this. He had leverage with Mueller. If he had been smart, he'd done that, stepped down - and today run the Trump TV show on Fox
Idiot Convict Thread 9/12
Trump had a SECOND off-ramp. The impeachment. Remember, Trump KNOWS he will be convicted in New York on tax fraud the moment he steps down. HE KNOWS the FBI has seen the tax fraud papers & given them to NY, IL, CA, FL etc. And Pence cannot pardon them
Idiot Convict Thread 10/12
Trump could have taken a 'slap on the wrist' via a negotiated settlement with Senate (Mitch) and DEMs, where Trump is allowed to resign (like Nixon) AND Pence pardons Trump for federal crimes - but NY to agree not to prosecute, let Trump pay back taxes
Idiot Convict Thread 11/12
The DEMs would have had a tough debate about it, but I could see DEMs agree, as long as Trump pays back taxes, to not prosecute, as long as he accepts guilty verdict of Senate & steps down - or resigns before his trial. Trump could have avoided prison
Idiot Convict Thread 12/12
Any sane criminal would have taken the first off ramp. Trump's legal team pushed for it. He is an idiot. He thought he can win. Any sane criminal would have taken second off ramp. Trump didn't. Now the idiot will land in prison when he is out of office
Trump Idiot Convict PS Thread 1/5
So Trump didn't take the chance to stay a free man, even though SANE attorneys explained it to him. He decided to gamble and has lost.
BUT here is where it gets CATASTROPHIC for Trump. The PS to his stupidity..
Idiot Convict PS 2/5
Trump knows he has been doing MONEY LAUNDERING. Not just for the mob (for decades) but for SANCTIONED foreigners = Putin. That is something near to a TREASONOUS crime. When Putin was SANCTIONED, Trump laundered Putin's money.
Trump SIDED with USA's enemy
Idiot Convict PS 3/5
This money laundering happened for YEARS BEFORE Trump became President. It carries DECADES of prison time. All of THAT evidence, came out with FBI raid on Michael Cohen's office also
Trump knows this. Once NY tax crime case starts..
Throw away the key
Idiot Convict PS 4/5
When it emerges that Trump had been money-laundering for Putin YEARS before Trump showed in public he's Putin's slave, at the Helsinki Hostage Summit, all Republicans HAVE to pick a side: Trump or prison
Many will flee the country into exile
GOP will expire
Idiot Convict PS 5/5
Trump KNEW he'd been money-laundering for Putin (& others) for YEARS before becoming POTUS. It had REMAINED hidden, until Michael Cohen office raid by FBI caused by Mueller - thanks to Stormy Daniels.
Trump COULD have stepped down & be free man.
Is an idiot

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
