Trump accountant and Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg surrendered to Manhattan DA today to be arrested on criminal case involving decades of Trump tax fraud against NY State. That case has NOTHING to do with Jan 6 or Giulani etc. Let's look at them
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 2/
The Manhattan DA case against Trump now taking Weisselberg into custody today, is an OLD FINANCIAL crime Trump committed BEFORE HE BECAME President. I discussed this case today:
There are FIVE major financial crimes that Weisselberg and Trump have committed together. This Manhattan case today, leads to the other four. I discussed those 4 other financial crimes in this Thread today:
Donald Trump faces over 20 OTHER crimes and civil law suits, big and small. The other BIG 3 are:
Giuliani = Ukraine extortion
Matt Gaetz (teen rapist) = Selling pardons
Roger Stone = January 6th Insurrection
This thread examines THOSE THREE cases
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 5/
The next fastest to get Trump in prison, after this Weisselberg case, is Giuliani's world record crime spree, that he embarked upon, when he foolishly believed he would be pardoned by Trump. Rudy Colludy was even confessing his crimes on live TV
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 6/
The notorious serial butt-dialer and former attorney Rudy Giuliani's criminal rampage is epic. I will NOT bother with ANY other aspects of it (Big Lie, Georgia, Jan 6, Venezuela, Turkey etc)
except the 1 crime that is NEARLY READY FOR TRIAL: Ukraine
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 7/
Rudy Colludy's Ukraine extortion scheme (what Bolton called Giuliani's corrupt drug deal) is the criminal side of Impeachment 1. This federal investigation started in 2019. It is now nearly ready for trial. Rudy will be arrested in weeks from now.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 8/
Giuliani's criminal case was so strong LAST SUMMER 2020, that the FBI wanted to raid Rudy's home and office. A corrupt Bill Barr blocked that raid. It was one of first cases our new Attorney General Garland approved. It is that strong a case.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 9/
Giuliani's case now is in the hands of one person. A Special Master (retired judge) is reviewing all evidence seized by FBI of Rudy's home & office & 18 devices taken. It is same Special Master as with Michael Cohen case.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 10/
The Special Master will determine which documents are proteted under client-attorney privilege (because Rudy was a licensed attorney then, his license has since been suspended). SM will hand to FBI all files they are legally allowed to see.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 11/
Some days/weeks after that, Giuliani will be arrested. His Ukraine case has a collaborator who has flipped (Lev Parnas) with TONS of evidence. Now the FBI raid evidence. And the FBI had a wire tap of Rudy's emails etc. Plus Rudy has confessed on TV
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 12/
Giuliani's Ukraine extortion plot led to US Ambassador being fired on behalf of Vladimir Putin's ogligarch pal Firtash, a mobster of Ukrainian background. For this treasonous crime against the USA alone, Rudy gets life in prison without parole
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 13/
Ukraine is only the start of Rudy's criminal convictions. Part of his rogue foreign policy was with Trump. It will bring a corrupt Pompeo to justice, plus Bone Saw Boy Jared and of course Bill Barr.
Rudy will flip on Trump almost instantly
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 14/
Giuliani is a former PROSECUTOR who sent Mafia criminals to life sentences. There is no prison where he would be safe. His time inside will be FAR WORSE than most criminals. And understandibly Rudy is petrified of prison. He was blackmailing Trump
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 15/
But the guy once called America's Mayor turned out to be America's Fool. He trusted Trump to pardon him. HAHAHAHA. Now America's Vampire is cooked, baked, boiled, wokked, fried, deepfried, refried and microwaved.
Rudy is arrested in July or August
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 16/
Next we go to the Gaetz of Hell
Teen rapist Matt Gaetz will go to prison on federal charges in Florida. His close pal FL Gov Death Santis cannot help him with a pardon. His rapist-partner Greenberg has flipped, testifies against Gaetz & 5 other men
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 17/
Statutory Gaetz teen raping did not involve Trump. But Gaetz tried to buy a Presidential pardon from Trump. Fallout from THIS exposure is freaking out Trump. So much so, that Trump is paying for part of Gaetz's legal costs.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 18/
Like with Weisselberg & Giuliani, this is a ladder of progression. Trump is the Mafia boss on the top, who will be tried LAST. Already someone on the bottom has flipped (Greenberg). Gaetz is next, but there is another guy before Trump: Roger Stone
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 19/
Matt Gaetz will be indicted around end of August or September, relating to Sentencing timing of Greenberg.
Gaetz will flip on Trump (& Roger Stone). It will lead to a web of corruption around Trump pardons. Trump goes to prison on these crimes too
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 20/
The THIRD case BEYOND financial crimes Trump committed with Weisselberg, is the worst crime any US President has committed against America. Trump organized a terrorist attack on January 6, the insurrection to overturn an election & become King
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 21/
The NORMAL criminal prosecution of Jan 6, would be a MAFIA trial: start from bottom, boss goes last. About 500 have been caught. Their trials (bottom) start FEBRUARY 2022.
But one of planners of Jan 6 is now caught on multiple flips: Roger Stone
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 22/
Already at least 3 Oath Keeper terrorists of January 6 insurrection have confessed and at least 2 of them have flipped & are testifying against the organizers. Roger Stone has been informed he is a target of the criminal investigation.
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 23/
The Rogerstone was pardoned by Trump. BUT NOT for NEW CRIMES. His pardon does not protect against new crimes
The Feds HATE it, that a serial CRIMINAL they caught, and processed successfully to CONVICTION, was let loose through a Presidential pardon
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 24/
I only have preliminary timing for Roger Stone but I expect his arrest to happen Autumn or early next year
But Roger Stone was paranoid about going to prison. He blackmailed Trump into pardoning himself. Now he has no other option, except to flip
Thread Beyond Weisselberg 25/
Roger Stone on Jan 6 leads to the other organizers of Jan 6 insurrection: General Flynn, Erik Prince (the brutal war criminal formerly of Blackwater, brother of racist asshole Betsy DeVos), Bannon, Giuliani, Don Jr and the My Pillow Guy.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
