So, I was doing some research for something (I thought was unrelated 📌)and came across this...You guys remember Don McGahn right? White House Counsel for trump during the period he tried to have Attorney General Sessions fired for recusing during the Mueller investigation? 🧵👇🏻

This is a 2016 Forbes article wherein they question Don McGahn’s appointment as White House counsel. At the time they were worried about conflicts of interest. They used the word ‘consigliere’. 🐴🤔

Well here is not necessarily a conflict of interest so much as a pattern of ‘keeping it in the family’. DYK that the uncle of former WH Counsel Don McGahn was Patrick McGahn and he was trump’s lawyer in 1992 during an investigation by the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement?

But Joe, what’s your point? The point is, we may have just had our first mob run presidency. Family, nepotism, ‘consigliere’, oh and that thing trump demanded of all including Comey, what was it...oh yeah, loyalty.

You may also remember McGahn still has refused to comply with a subpoena issued by Congress for his testimony related to Obstruction of Justice within the Mueller Report. Supreme Court ruled there is no such thing as ‘absolute immunity’

Why hasn’t he been forced to testify?

@RepJerryNadler looking at you for the answer to that question.
An impeachment hearing is set to begin February 9th. Perhaps Nadler should hold a hearing prior to that with McGahn and ask how far back and for what purposes his relationship with trump went.

Considering trump is in the process of trying to set up a shadow government where he is the leader, I can’t help but point out how this all has a mob family feel to it. As if President RICO was running the government like a corrupt organization.

What also seems to point to trump running a corrupt enterprise is his summoning of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. If we have a criminal mob boss pulling the strings of our government right now, and the Republicans in the Senate AGAIN acquit him, we’re done as a democracy.

We may even be lost now and not know it. We may think we have won by beating him in November, but if he is allowed to be acquitted again by complicit/compromised Senators, without the testimony of Don McGahn and what he might be able to provide to the Senate, we are lost now.

I used to think at the very least we need a #TrumpCrimesCommission but now, at the very least we need McGahn to testify.

We do not have time for the media to be asleep at the switch here. Our focus needs to be on every story of everything this corrupt regime, including those still in office, are allowed to get away with. Insurrection is just the latest. This activity goes back years.

Why are the Senators still scared of a man not in power and who has lost the inability to tweet? A man that Rudy Giuliani is willing to put himself in a position for to be disbarred, sued by vote machine company Dominion for $1.3b and by @ProjectLincoln for who knows what?

📌As for the research, it continues. I don’t know if it will pan out, but it has yielded a variety of questions and coincidences so far that require answers. Who is trump really? And is Rudy around because of his knowledge of RICO?👇🏻

If there is a RICO case to be made against trump, then why not at least do what they are doing to the insurrectionists? Charge him with lesser crimes while they continue to investigate the larger ones. Arrest private citizen, Individual-1. Do it tomorrow.

If individual-1 is indicted prior to his Impeachment trial, the House Managers can raise that at trial. Another thing the Republican Senators will have to look the other way on. Let’s see how fast he goes from tough guy to wearing disheveled robes, pushing a Weinstein walker.

In a week where @craigunger confirms trump was a Russian asset, can we at least arrest individual-1 to prevent the next insurrection or whatever he is cooking up with Kevin McCarthy? Then, supersede w/ RICO charges.
