So Giuliani's office was raided yesterday. This is VERY rare, requires judge to approve the raid. Usually attorney offices are pretty sacred. The feds had to convince the judge that there is evidence of a crime or crimes.
It is bad. Let's do a bit of analysis
Rudy thread 2/
We have SEEN this movie before. It is a remake. The original was called Michael Cohen (a corrupt Trump attorney)
Cohen raided Apr 2018
4 months later in jail
3 months after that convicted
13 months from raid, sent to prison May 2019
Disbarred shortly after that
Rudy thread 3/
We know now that Bill Barr had blocked the raid to Giuliani's office. That was likely happening late in 2020, definitely before Barr resigned in Dec 2020. So the feds have had the evidence to convict Giuliani for many MONTHS now. Rudy is very screwed..
Rudy thread 4/
We know Rudy blackmailed Trump attempting to get a Presidential pardon. Because Rudy is so dumb, he did this openly. But we therefore also know, that Giuliani himself knows, he is guilty and without a pardon, Rudy will rot in prison...
Rudy thread 5/
Today Trump cannot help Giuliani. But Lev Parnas is already damaging Rudy. Parnas turned state's evidence and has handed the FBI with TONS of evidence against Rudy, about their common criminal caper in the Ukraine.
Rudy thread 6/
The FBI raid of Giuliani office and home was not about election meddling or the riots of January 6. It was about Ukraine ie Trump Impeachment 1
And the evidence is overwhelming to land Giuliani in prison. Rudy has now a few weeks/months to make deal with feds
Rudy thread 7/
When Giuliani makes his deal, he has to hand the feds EVERYTHING he knows. Not just the election fraud crimes involving Ukraine, but also his other crimes for Trump including election fraud in US (Georgia etc). And Giuliani's involvement with Jan 6 riots, etc
Rudy thread 8/
Giuliani said he knows where Trump bodies are buried. In terms of Trump impeachments, both, and Trump admin election frauds, Giuliani knows all of those. Feds will have TONS of evidence to sink Rudy. He will flip. But this saga will take many months, maybe a year

So if you missed it. Yesterday the GOP was presented with the only constitutional tool, to eliminate their Frankenstein's Monster, Trump and all the cancer he brings. Instead, they voted to hand the Republican party to Trump
Mitch McTurtle caved. 43 Traitors sold their party
The political world CHANGED yesterday. No past President after his election loss has been in CONTROL of that party. Ford, Carter, Daddy Bush.. all stepped aside after their losses.
Trump was just GIVEN total control of the GOP, yesterday with that vote. It was an Abdication
Before yesterday 13 Feb 2021, the GOP had been gripped by an internal civil war, Maganutters vs sanity. Yesterday the sanity side surrendered.
That debacle we saw with Qevin McCarthy going to kiss Trump's ass in Mar-A-Lago? That now becomes the norm. A sick freak show in Florida
The Election Gods took a non-election year, 2021, and gave us THREE huge election victories. In January we got the Senate (Georgia runoffs). In February the GOP gave us 2022 and 2024. They were given the chance to disqualify Trump, decided to abdicate and gift the GOP to Trump
So because of the Impeachment vote - GOP siding with a Domestic Terrorist - we win in 2022. Mitch won't get his gavel back, and Pelosi keeps the House
BUT ALSO - regardless of how 2024 plays, the maga nutters now have the GOP and Biden wins easy re-election for 2024.
So the GOP Senators faced an internal fight, and lost. That gifts us at least the 2022 and 2024 election cycles. Depending on whether GOP decides to cut that magacancer after 2024, tells us if they have a chance going into 2026 midterms, but they may have lost 2028 POTUS too
The GOP Senators KNEW what a monster Trump is, and still voted to acquit (see McConnell, Portman). They now own that Frankenstein's monster. He will sink them. Pelosi will not impeach Trump a third time - GOP will NEVER AGAIN get to disqualify Trump. He will now destroy the party
Trump lost to Hillary by 3 million popular votes when Putin was driving millions of DEM voters to vote for Jill Stein
After USA learned who Trump is, he lost by 7 million popular votes to Biden
AFTER the November election, Trump organized January 6. That COST HIM 10% of voters
Now comes his revenge. The GOP made a grave mistake for 2022, 2024. Trump will now be liberated to go on a political revenge rampage. He will come after all his enemies.
He was STIFFLED since House Impeachment 2, by his ATTORNEYS who insisted Trump stay away from TV
The 10 in House and 7 in Senate who voted to convict Trump will be primary targets of Trump's ire
But all who failed him or spoke against him: McConnell now on TV' the words from Qevin McCarthy leaked into the press; Nikki Haley abandoning Trump etc. He will come after everybody
And WRONG political calculation by GOP. This latest Trump will be FAR more vicious. He will bombard the GOP into the 2022 midterms, primarying many viable GOP House members & Senators, bringing in unelectable Maganutters. And Trump will run himself in 2024 for Potus
So first Trump legal team resigned, when Trump tried to force them to do the big lie, that the election was stolen.
The replacement team's least insane lawyer, Schoen (Water Boy) resigned on Thursday night, after he saw videos the Trump propaganda team had prepared.
We know Trump called Schoen to get him to return. My guess is Trump agreed to remove the worst videos - which is why we saw the same videos all twice or 3x.
Schoen barely participated in the questions session. He is not present at the Senate today (observing Jewish Sabbath)
So this worst C-Team has been taken over by the Clown and alleged attorney Van Der Veen, who tried to bully the Senate. He is NOT the sharpest mind of even this crew of dimwits. They were not prepared for this possibility. His threat to call 100 witnesses was absurd
Obviously DEMs want Trump convicted. Romney & a handful of GOP are going to join DEMs.
We also know Mitch McTurtle hates Trump and needs Trump removed from any influence in the GOP, and thus needs Trump to be disqualified from ever running for any office.
Because the DEMs case is so strong, AND what Trump did so vile (he launched a terrorist attack against Congress) - a longer trial would be to DEMs advantage and damage to Trump & Trumpism, and by extension, to GOP. It would be in DEMs political advantage (greatly) to extend trial
Also there is PLENTY of valid witnesses that could be called. DEMs would no doubt find a lot of witnesses who would not mind testifying - not like Trump's first impeachment when Trump Admin blocked any current staffers.
