Trump's faith was sealed in April 2018. While the GOP held both the Senate and House, and Trump was on the top of his power as President.
Trump personally KNEW in Apr 2018 his house of cards was collapsing. He has just prolonged the moment
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 2/16
My thread of what sealed Trump's fate. It happened 2.5 YEARS ago, in April of 2018. That was when Donald Trump knew he will end his life in prison, it became totally unavoidable. Something happened in April 2018. You may have forgotten..
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 3/16
Donald Trump was in 2nd year of his Presidency, with GOP holding the House & Senate. He was on the top of his world, which suddenly collapsed. What happened in April 2018? Something that is VERY rare in America. A judge approved an FBI..
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 4/16
A judge in New York approved an FBI raid into a LAWYER's office. This is extremely rare, under only the most extreme conditions, on VERY strong evidence, where the attorney is crooked. That lawyer was Michael Cohen. Trump's top attorney
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 5/16
We know now, that Michael Cohen was so utterly corrupt, he pleaded guilty to federal crimes and did time in prison. Trump in April 2018 KNEW that Cohen is corrupt, because Trump was one of only 3 clients Cohen had (& most of his work)
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 6/16
The reason Trump knew he will go to prison, is the types of crimes that he had ORDERED Michael Cohen to do. They are NEW YORK STATE crimes, like NY tax fraud. Trump (or Pence) cannot pardon state crimes. And worse, Cohen had recordings
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 7/16
Because the FBI had received permission to raid an attorney's office, they collected all the incriminating evidence - that Trump had DELIBERATELY STORED with Michael Cohen, confident that the police cannot access a lawyer's files.
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 8/16
If you did not know, 'attorney-client privilege' does NOT shield the client if they were plotting a crime together. For Trump that the FBI has his evidence of crimes with Michael Cohen, means Trump CANNOT ESCAPE prison
That was Apr 2018
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 9/16
We do not yet know, how horrid is the final count of all of the crimes Trump PERSONALLY has done, in DECADES of crimes. That is before crimes conducted by his Trumpomobster administration and his Hitler Jugend children. It will be nasty
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 10/16
Trump WILL try some pardon gambit (likely he tries to pardon himself). It will NOT MATTER to New York state crimes. If the crimes were so bad, that Michael Cohen did time - as the cooperating witness - Trump does DECADES for the same.
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 11/16
Who can we thank for arranging that raid on Michael Cohen's office? Robert Mueller. Mueller received word of some crimes that was then rushed to a judge to get permission for the rare raid of an attorney's office. Whatever we think of..
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 12/16
Whatever we think of Mueller's investigation, the ONLY reason we can NOW be certain, that Trump WILL DO TIME, regardless of his pardons schemes - was Mueller & that Cohen office raid
This has sustained me 2.5 years. Knowing how it ends
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 13/16
Which brings me to the unsung & near-forgotten hero of taking down Trump. Who was there alone. Before a MeToo movement. A woman in a profession so many despise. A brave porn star by the name of Stormy Daniels. HER evidence gave us Cohen
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 14/16
In April 2018 it was not certain DEMs could build a blue wave for Pelosi in November. It was not certain Biden could win against an incumbent in 2020. But in Apr 2018, Trump knew, that Cohen's office had evidence to land him in prison
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 15/16
Trump has known this since April 2018. His 2.5 years have been nightmares. Every night he has looked out the window fearing FBI vans. He's woken up every morning to nightmares.
Good
WHAT TOOK TRUMP TO PRISON, FOR LIFE? 16/16
Michael Cohen did not need to flip because FBI has HIS RECORDINGS. But good that he did flip
Mueller seems to have been played, at least in part. But this part he got right
But the REAL hero was that lonely brave woman, Stormy Daniels
Mom takes daughter to first visit to New York City
MOM: This was once called Trump Tower
KID: Like the evil man?
MOM: Yes lets walk here, see this is the statue
KID: She's beautiful. She has MY NAME
MOM: Yes Stormy, grandma wanted us to name you after the woman who defeated Trump

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
