YES he's going to pardon his kids, and try to pardon himself. What does this all mean?
Trump Pardons Thread 2/26
Trump was always going to pardon his kids (& Jared Bonesaw Boy) & some closest to him from his past before politics (Hope Hicks) & some he trusts most in his political life (Stephen Miller). This was inevitable
He will also try to pardon himself.
Trump Pardons Thread 3/26
While Trump WILL attempt to pardon himself (possibly in more ways than one), it WILL NOT PREVENT Trump from going to prison in 2021, for the rest of his life. Because he has committed STATE crimes that a President cannot pardon. They START with NY taxes
Trump Pardons Thread 4/26
When Trump pardons people - and he will - it MAY mean that a given CRIMINAL escapes justice - but the CRIME will not be hidden. A Pardon always legally indicates ADMISSION OF GUILT. And that criminal CAN be forced to testify on that crime
Trump Pardons Thread 5/26
So first.. As Trump pardons (at least some) people, it will help us discover the RANGE of crimes that happened
Secondly, it is impossible for Trump to pardon everyone. So some WILL do time
Thirdly, some crimes he cannot pardon (state crimes)
Trump Pardons Thread 6/26
Fourthly, anyone pardoned can be subpoenaed to testify (and Joe Biden's Attorney General will enforce such subpoenas, while Bill Barr didn't) - where they cannot 'plead the fifth' because they've been pardoned, & they cannot lie, else they to to prison
Trump Pardons Thread 7/26
Fifthly, because the Trumpomobsters CONSPIRED to do crimes together, there will ALWAYS be new crimes uncovered & new criminals that Trump has NOT pardoned.
Sixthly, Trump pardons will be tested in court. Some are highly likely to fail to be withheld
Trump Pardons Thread 8/26
Seventhly, even if by some miracle EVERY other Trumpomobster escapes justice, we want the Crime BOSS to rot in prison. That is Trump. He CANNOT avoid Rikers Island Prison in NY, because of his gargantual tax fraud over decades. Tax crimes never expire
Trump Pardons Thread 9/26
Eighthly, we DO want those nearest Trump to ALSO be convicted. As we know, Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric etc were petty criminals & tax cheats long before 2016, in New York State. Trump cannot pardon those crimes either. They WILL all receive prison sentences

I said Gen Flynn pardon was a mistake. What do I mean? Trump pardoned him too early. It messes up the extent of Trump pardons, the scale of them. Let me show how & why
Remember a pardon involves ADMISSION of GUILT, & you cannot hide behind 5th Amendmt
Trump Pardons Thread 11/26
Flynn lied to Pence. Flynn lied 2x to FBI. He admits guilt accepting pardon
Congress HAS to investigate these lies by NATIONAL SECURITY Advisor about RUSSIA
Flynn cannot ignore Congressional subpoena, because Biden's Attorney General WILL enforce it
Trump Pardons Thread 12/26
Flynn cannot plead the 5th. He cannot lie. If he lies after 20 Jan 2021, the Pardon by Trump will not shield him, and Flynn goes back to prison. Flynn will tell truth of Trump & Russia treason - in an OPEN CONGRESSIONAL HEARING
Trump Pardons Thread 13/26
Why do we KNOW this? The Mueller Report. Bill Barr has redacted parts of the Report. Barr did NOT redact it to protect Flynn. Barr's job was to redact any criminal evidence ABOUT TRUMP. We Know Mueller's own words saying, he could not exonerate Trump
Trump Pardons Thread 14/26
We have NOT seen the redacted parts of Mueller Report.
But the Federal JUDGE in Gen Flynn's case HAS SEEN the UNredacted full Mueller Report - and HATES the TREASONOUS crimes Gen Flynn was involved in. The Judge SAID SO officially in WRITING.
Trump Pardons Thread 15/26
Now that Trump has pardoned Flynn, Flynn has to tell the truth about THAT TESTIMONY he gave UNDER OATH to Mueller. It is ABOUT TRUMP.
If Flynn lies, he goes to prison. If Flynn CHANGES HIS STORY compared to sworn testimony to FBI, Flynn goes to prison
Trump Pardons Thread 16/26
So Trump is ALWAYS screwed by this stupid pardon of Gen Flynn. Bill Barr did not redact the Mueller Report to protect Gen Flynn. A Federal Judge has seen the unredacted Report & found TREASON
Trump was DIRECTING Flynn, and now pardoned a Traitor
Trump Pardons Thread 17/26
Gen Flynn is REALLY SMALL FRY compared to crimes by Pompeo, Mnuchin, Bill Barr, DeVos etc. But Trump made a TACTICAL error, by doing this pardon NOW, two months early. WE can help PRESSURE Trump to NOT issue MANY Pardons but only a few
Trump Pardons Thread 18/26
Because Trump pardons involve criminals doing crimes that benefitted Trump, it is CERTAIN that at least SOME of his pardons will be tested in courts. That takes years, & goes to SCOTUS of course. Remember, Trump will sit in PRISON while this happens
Trump Pardons Thread 19/26
The MORE Trump issues pardons to Trumpomobsters, the higher the likelyhood is that some of them are overturned.
Separately the MORE a given pardon involved a crime that benefitted Trump PERSONALLY, the more likely it is to be overturned
Trump Pardons Thread 20/26
ANY pardons by Trump will MESS UP the task to get all involved to justice. All Trumpomobsters (Ivanka, Jared, Pompeo, Mnuchin, Barr, Giuliani, #LeningradLindsey, Matt Gaetz etc) HOPE for pardons. We should try to put pressure to MINIMIZE their number
Trump Pardons Thread 21/26
It is in OUR best interest, to force Trump to give as few pardons as possible. He WILL be trying to pardon his kids, and some closest to him. He will also try (probably in multiples ways) to pardon himself. Do not worry about those.
Trump Pardons Thread 22/26
Trump's gambit pardoning General Flynn will go horribly wrong for Trump. While Trump sits in Riker's Island, on decades of enormous tax fraud, Gen Flynn will be forced to testify under oath, that Trump directed Flynn to commit treason.
Trump Pardons Thread 23/26
At that time in say mid 2021, Trump is convicted serial tax fraud, a fake pretend Billionaire, serial loser, serial con-artist who stole hundreds of millions from Republicans and Fox viewers -then Flynn testifies against Trump - NOBODY will defend him
Trump Pardons Thread 24/26
Trump will keep getting more and more convictions against him, adding years to his sentences; while Gen Flynn walks free. This will infuriate Trump.
Trump has been WARNED how stupid it is to pardon Flynn. Trump is an imbecile, didn't listen
Trump Pardons Thread 25/26
So what we need to do, is a LOT of pressure on Trump now, demanding Congressional hearings about Gen Flynn, to see the Bill Barr redaction that are treasonous, that now pardoned Flynn has to testify against Trump
THIS will LIMIT the amount of pardons
Trump Pardons Thread 26/26
Lastly on Trump pardoning himself. That will never be held up by any SCOTUS. Why? Because if the President can pardon himself, POTUS could walk up to SCOTUS, shoot the 3 Trump lunatic Justices, & then pardon himself. The President is NOT above the law

As Trump is nearing the end of his Presidential shield against criminal prosecution, lets preview a bit of Donald Trump's own (personal) crimes & civil lawsuits that are coming up.
This is an overview thread
Trump Crimes thread 2/20
Trump has a SERIES of crimes & civil lawsuits coming up, that have DRAMATICALLY different impacts. Let's be clear about these. So a brief intro thread to the full range of what awaits Trump from January 20, 2021
Trump Crimes thread 3/20
Understand Trump STANDARD operating procedure. He lies, he denies, he falsifies. Refuses testimony, refuses evidence, destroys evidence. Fires happen at Trump offices in alarming frequency. Plus he bribes & intimidates. Onerous Non-disclosure agreements

MAGA ie Make America Great Again is not Trump. It is Reagan. His slogan was Let's Make America Great Again. Trump stole from Reagan of course, dumped the first word only so that he could fit it on a hat. He wanted to sell those hats..

So how about Fake News? That is not a Trumpism either, although it sure sounds like it. Who was the Trumpiest Republican before Trump? Sarah Palin. This is a Sarah Palin phrase. Yes. Trump is quoting Sarah Palin. Tells us all we need to know

So what of Drain the Swamp?
And Deep State?
These sound like core Trump messages? Were designed by the psycho warfare unit at Cambridge Analytica (=Bannon =Mercers) for 2016.
Were both developed with brainwashing unit of FSK (=ex KGB) of Russia (=Putin)
Exactly. Anything that was supposed to be, is no more. Anything purchased has been paid but not delivered. Anything previously owned has already been sold. Exactly like Trump's bankruptcies but on GARGANTUAN scale
Remember the Strategic Oil Reserve? And how Trump took advantage of filling it, when oil prices were so low? Imagine USA ordering the oil, Mnuching approving payment, and later we find, the oil was never delivered? Money? Vanished
Remember Saudi big weapons purchase? Often weapon systems are sold from existing stockpiles and the money used to replenish USA stockpile. We may find a MASSIVE hole in US military inventory, Saudis paid (money vanished) and the WEAPONS are now missing...
Trump's Biggest Heist is Not Yet Visible Thread 1/27
We need to keep an eye on Mnuchin. With all that noise going on by the nation's Toddler-In-Chief, his crooked-to-the-core Treasury Secy Steven Mnuchin is conducting biggest heist in history of humankind.
This thread explains the biggest heist in human economic history. It is not the crime of the century, but the crime of the MILLENIUM.
This crime dwarfs EVERYTHING you've heard Trump do, or ANY OTHER CRIMINAL ever from Al Capone to El Chapo to Bernie Madoff

How would you feel, if you had a tax return of $125 dollars. BUT it was NOT paid, because a corrupt accountant in your Governor's office stole ALL tax returns that year, and flew away to Russia with tax billions? You'd be livid, and DEMAND your money be paid?
