As we now have an hour-long recording of Donald John Trump going full mobster on a Georgia state official, I thought I'd do a thread highlighting some of my work on the criminality of Trump & his associates.
[THREAD]
1/ We begin with the three-part series written with mob expert @LincolnsBible. Part One discusses how Trump, a second-generation mob money launderer, became a Confidential Informant, thus avoiding indictment: gregolear.substack.com/p/tinker-tailo…
2/ Part Two details how a guy owned by La Cosa Nostra came to be owned by the Russian mafiya. The 80s were boon times for hostile takeovers.
3/ In the final segment, @LincolnsBible explains why Trump's criminality is not more widely known, and how the IC's commitment to secrecy above all else failed us these last four years: gregolear.substack.com/p/give-me-secr…
4/ If you believe Rudy Giuliani, now the president's private attorney, somehow changed in the years after 9/11, you'll be surprised to learn that he's always been awful, INCLUDING during his "America's Mayor" stint: gregolear.substack.com/p/rudy-in-reve…
5/ The worst person in Trump's orbit, it says here, is his ghoul of a son-in-law, #BoyPlunder. Jared Kushner had already wracked up some serious crimes two years ago, which we didn't bother nailing him on, alas: medium.com/s/story/boy-pl…
6/ When you don't prosecute criminals for their crimes, they commit even worse crimes. With Jared Kushner, this led directly to mass death: gregolear.substack.com/p/white-house-…
7/ The intrepid reporting by @KatherineEban at VF on Kushner's sabotage of the pandemic response should have been THE story of 2020.
8/ Trump owns Mike Pence—useless head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force—lock, stock, and Bible. The narrative of the VP as separate from the President is propaganda. gregolear.substack.com/p/walking-shad…
9/ Freshly pardoned traitor Paul Manafort is tight with mobsters AND spies, making him uniquely dangerous. The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee told us all about this in Volume 5. Even the Republicans couldn't deny it (although they tried). gregolear.substack.com/p/this-is-what…
10/ Manafort's old business partner, Roger Stone, has been whispering in Trump's ear for decades. Another pox on our democracy unworthy of a pardon. gregolear.substack.com/p/man-in-the-m…
11/ Mike Flynn was also pardoned. He's a traitor, full stop. Which is why everyone warned Trump to get rid of him. gregolear.substack.com/p/the-flynn-as…
12/ Trump would have been gone long ago were it not for the GOP enabling him—aiding & abetting him. This started before he was elected, as Aaron Harris explains for PREVAIL: gregolear.substack.com/p/the-ukraine-…
13/ Ron Johnson was one of the Fourth of July Traitors. It was so obvious that he returned from Moscow carrying Putin's water that I wrote, last December, that he'd keep doing so. gregolear.substack.com/p/sleeper-cell…
14/ Rand Paul was accused by John McCain, on the Senate floor, of working for Vladimir Putin. McCain was not just being provocative. medium.com/@gregolear/red…
17/ ...or the other soon-to-be medal recipient, the troglodyte Jim Jordan, who will be honored for, I guess, looking the other way as young men in his charge were molested. gregolear.substack.com/p/fascist-fker…
19/ And, finally, the mythmakers who trustwashed Donald John Trump, turning a disgusting mobster into a passable president: TV producer Mark Burnett & CNN overlord Jeff Zucker. gregolear.substack.com/p/mythmakers-t…
I'm going to continue to shine light on these traitors. Please sign up for the PREVAIL mailing list, for all updates.
1/ When I was in high school, I worked at McDonald’s. It was a really good experience for me, and I met a lot of interesting people there (including, improbably, the best chess player I ever played against).
[THREAD]
2/ The lunch rush at McDonald’s was something else. For 2 solid hours, it was all hands on deck, super busy. There was one guy whose job was to run the grill & make sure everything ran smoothly. He would tell us what to make—cheeseburgers or Big Macs, the occasional Filet O’Fish.
3/ Our guy was named Joe Brown. He was a legend. He’d come in at 10 AM and take an entire pot of coffee to the break room, where he would smoke cigarettes and drink the entire pot to prepare himself for the lunch shift.
1/ The Committee’s bipartisan Report unambiguously shows that members of the Trump Campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected.....
2/ And it presents, for the first time, concerning evidence that the head of the Trump Campaign [Manafort] was directly connected to the Russian meddling through his communications with an individual found to be a Russian intelligence officer [Kilimnik].
Today, we ran the third installment of a 3-part series by Moscow Never Sleeps, on how to fix the Supreme Court—without packing the court (or winning the Senate). The series provides ample historical context & also a blueprint for what the Dems should—what we MUST—do.
[THREAD]
1/ Part one concerns Clarence Thomas (and his wife, Virginia Lamp). Did you know that SCOTUS justices can formally retire/take senior status? I didn’t either.
2/ Part two involves Brett Kavanaugh. @lincolnsbible & I have our own deep dive on this coming, for which I looked again at his murky finances, and HOLY CRAP are they suspect. We don’t need to impeach him. We just have to convince him to resign. gregolear.substack.com/p/how-to-fix-t…
The debts coming due in the next few years, which he personally guaranteed, would ruin him...although he's already ruined.
This looks mobby to me: "That equation is a key element of the alchemy of Mr. Trump’s finances: using the proceeds of his celebrity to purchase and prop up risky businesses, then wielding their losses to avoid taxes."
