After Olympus Has Fallen. After White House Down. Comes #BunkerBoy.
I will narrate the blockbuster movie of 2021 here on Twitter for you. What happened in the Bunker from 19 January 2021, to the bitter end.
A Twitter story, for you
Bunker Boy Prologue 2/9
This is the TW prologue so you know what is happening. Imagine this being a movie described in Tweets. We all know the classic Bunker movies, The Alamo, Downfall. We know the White House siege movies, White House Down & Olympus Has Fallen. In that style
Bunker Boy Prologue 3/9
I have seen lots of 'worried' Tweets on, 'What if Trump doesn't leave voluntarily from the White House?' What if he truly barricades himself into the White House with die-hard supporters, and refuses to leave. THEN what?
Esper was about to resign, when Trump fired him. So this was NO surprise to Esper. Consider its timing & election. Esper felt it his duty to USA to wait past the election, until he was to resign. It tells us 2 things
1 - Esper wanted out
and 2 - Esper felt it NECESSARY to stay till election day
That tells us, Trump had been floating MAD ideas to try to win the election using the military. Most likely 'bomb Iran' and possibly even 'nuke Iran'. Also other madness like deploying US troops domestically in US cities
Because Esper had TIME before he left, he has BRIEFED his underlings on the likely scenarios. They are all career officers, Generals, who know fully well what is a lawful & what unlawful order (Nazi Germany 'I was just following orders' defense at Nurenburg trials for war crimes)
Trump knows he can pardon. BUT he also knows the pitfalls. First, foremost, if Trump pardons someone, that person cannot use the Fifth Amendment as a shield in testimony. Not in courts, not in Congressional hearings. If Trump wants to HIDE evidence...
Pardons thread 2/
Trump has DANGLED pardons with his Trumpomobsters continuously. He occasionally pardons random other people, just to REMIND those near him, that he has the pardoning power. But what Trump wants is loyalty. If he pardons someone, they're 'free' of Trump
Pardons thread 3/
After any pardon, that person will NOT want to get into NEW crimes WITH TRUMP. So Trump's 'slave' is immediately freed, if Trump signs that pardon. All loyalty vanishes. I am pretty sure Trump understands this. So he uses the pardon as a promised reward
Donald Trump himself is a serial con-artist & multiple serial criminal from racism when slumlord to frauds ranging from Trump University to taxes, to stealing money from veterans & cancer kids
Trump then HIRED criminals into White House
Trumpomob crimes 2/
Trump was broke in March 2016 when Manafort joined (worked 'for free' = paid by Putin) & suddenly Trump was flush with cash. Putin bankrolled Trump so that is election fraud
Putin also corrupted the GOP financing them via the NRA. So GOP also criminals
Trumpomob crimes 3/
If you've got a serial criminal who hires more serial criminals and corrupts others to join his crimes, you have epic, world record level crime mob occupying the White House and supported by GOP in Congress
That is impossible. There is ZERO ways Trump can remain President to 21 January 2021. On 20 Jan 2021, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the new President, was Trump there or not.
The WHOLE US government will JUMP to side with Joe
Trump THINKS he has 'loyalty' from his Trumpomobsters. They are CAREER CON ARTISTS who are playing Trump. Not one of them will go to prison for Trump
Trump thinks #MoscowMitch McTurtle & GOP Senators will somehow go to the barricades with Trump. They won't. Not one will
Trump thinks his FAMILY will stay with him. Ok, Eric is so dumb he might simply be too confused to remember the escape plan. But the rest of the Hitler Jugend kids, Butthead Jr Trump, Entitlement Barbie & Bonesaw Jared will sell out Trump for 6 months shorter sentence
I expect Mnuchin to have STOLEN roughly a Trillion dollars. That is NOT typical Trumpian/Republican mismanagement or cronyism like tax cuts for billionaires or money laundering via Covid funding. I mean
STOLEN
Short thread...
You remember the most vile American ever to have lived? Manafort. He arranged the kleptocracies in countries on four continents. He was the go-to guy for Marcos, Mobutu Sese Seko & Yanukovich, etc - murderer dictator monsters FAR FAR more horrid (in their countries) than Trump
In each case, Manafort organized the LARGEST heist of public property & government funds into pockets of the dictators, that DECIMATED those countries - often for DECADES to come.
That was a 'young Manafort' before he got his hands onto the biggest piggy-bank ever: USA
