On Tom Barrack News (dismissing 2 of his high-priced defense attorneys)

I am ALWAYS suspicious of TIMING 'coincidences'

It is not ALWAYS connections but timing VERY OFTEN involves connection. What did we JUST learn this past week?
This past week we learned that Lev Parnas had attempted for 9 months to get a deal with Feds (SDNY) and the deal fell through. I time that failure at when Giuliani office was raided by FBI - which would yield SAME evidence Lev had been peddling to SDNY. Effectively wiped him out
Tom Barrack is a genuine smart man, self-made Billionaire who even after Trump wrecked his foreign businesses is worth half a Billion dollars today. He knows how to do proper cost-benefit analysis and understands NEGOTIATING POSITION. He saw what happened with Lev Parnas
Tom Barrack probably thought, when he was arrested, that he can hire an army of lawyers and has a reasonable chance to win. They have now studied Feds (EDNY) case against him and told him Tom, you will lose this.

And then it becomes a RACE WHO FLIPS FIRST
Tom Barrack faces a flipping contest against Allen Weisselberg, who is VERY likely to flip

And a SECOND flipping contest against Jared Kushner, who may have already flipped

And a THIRD flipping contest against Bill Barr

The longer Tom waits, the WORSE his deal will become
My guess is that firing the 2 expensive defense attorneys means Tom Barrack knows he will flip, and now is actively pursuing a deal with EDNY. When they reach preliminary agreement, Tom will change his plea and plead guilty - to a reduced sentence. Then they will negotiate more

Nikki Thread 1/

So what IS Nikki Haley's plan? She seems insane

No. She is being very smart but obviously cynical & intensely scheming. All of her behavior makes sense, politically. She is aiming to cut in line ahead of Ted Cruz... for 2028.

Bear with me.
Nikki Thread 2/

Like all serious candidates for next GOP Presidential nominee after Trump (so after 2024) like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Gov DeSantis, Gov Abbott - Nikki has a plan for AFTER TRUMP. The plans are all logical & systematic
Nikki Thread 3/

All of these people KNOW that Trump will be in prison by 2028

And they KNOW they will not challenge Trump for 2024

So they are ANGLING for the next open race for GOP Presidential nomination, which will be in 2028, and then how to handle a Trump then in prison

BIG DEVELOPMENT

But note - it means Matt Gaetz arrest moves to April

Joel Greenberg who confessed to being 1 of 7 rapists of the teen (that rape gang includes Matt Gaetz) now asks Judge to delay sentencing by 5 MORE months

Government AGREES to request, so evidence is dynamite
Original plea agreement had Joel Greenberg testify about his rape crimes - the 6 other men including Matt Gaetz, and their related crimes like drugs, fake IDs, transporting the teen across state lines etc

This crime carries 20 year MANDATORY MINIMUM sentence. So it is BIG NASTY
When Joel Greenberg testified and ratted out Matt Gaetz and the other 5 men, Greenberg revealed MORE CRIMES - so much more that he Feds gave him 90 days to spill his guts

We have already had Florida politicians arrested from this first set

5 Paths To Prison Summary Thread 2/

Allen Weisselberg now criminally prosecuted. Had first court date. We discovered prosecutors found MORE evidence against Weisselberg (= someone has flipped) and Allen's own attorneys expect MORE CRIMINAL CHARGES. Next court date is in January.
5 Paths To Prison Summary Thread 3/

Bombshell revellation in Weisselberg, there is a 'Donald Trump General Ledger' that was kept which lists Trump's own tax fraud. This means Trump cannot escape by blaming Weisselberg of being an incompetent accountant and somehow Trump victim.

I am curious to find out about the Donald J Trump General Ledger - WHEN did the prosecutors find that? Was it in the original haul of Weisselberg's files when they said they have his double bookkeeping. Or is this part of the new files, discovered in someone's basement recently?
So the original files were first seized in raid of Michael Cohen's lawyer office by FBI. (Mueller investigation, Stormy Daniels, farmed out to Manhattan DA)

We do not know in what SEQUENCE the subsequent files were acquired. Did they know all the time of Trump General Ledger
But up to now, we only knew of double bookkeeping by Weisselberg of Trump Org files. Up to now, we did not know there is a specific Donald J Trump General Ledger - which is direct criminal evidence of Trump personal tax fraud & criminal INTENT. Bigger than Weisselberg (10-15 yrs)
