If Jeffrey Bossert Clark has any street smarts, he would proactively make the best deal he can with @TheJusticeDept. I think he is uniquely situated to cooperate against Trump for crimes that include seditious conspiracy, election fraud, etc. Could spare himself a prison stint.
His life will never be the same but if the reporting is accurate including statements from his former DOJ colleagues, he faces potential & significant criminal exposure. He seems to have lost his way post '20 election but he is well-positioned to trade info for leniency.
Who knows, maybe he even recorded his conversations w/ Trump. At least he can testify to his numerous discussions with Trump after the election. His departure from @NCLAlegal could be related to such a move but that is rank speculation at this point.
We will know more from his response to the 1/6 subpoena. If I were his counsel, I know what I would be advising him to do in the strongest terms possible. I would have him start the process by reading Blind Ambition by @JohnWDean which would give him a roadmap as to what to do.

1 Remember the Get Smart cone of silence. At the very earliest stages of an otherwise high profile investigation of crimes committed by many, I can see it taking place w/ no leaks. However, at some early point, outsiders need to be interviewed, subpoenas/search warrants executed,
2 charges filed against planners, special counsel appt'd (@ejeancarroll case conflict?), etc. Def attys get involved along w/ their staff on behalf of witnesses, targets & subjects, all of whom have family/friends. This is why @RepAdamSchiff @tribelaw, myself, others are worried.
3 We have not heard a peep about any fed investigation of Trump. Compare this to the investigation/prosecution taking place by @ManhattanDA. We don't know everything that is going on but there surely is important progress being made including charges filed against AW/Trump Org.

I used to look forward to your show every day. It has become unwatchable & a horrible source of false information about what is actually a successful evacuation from Afghanistan. I will no longer tune in & will no longer follow you. cc @CNN
Unfortunately, my once all time favorite @brikeilarcnn has lost all objectivity about Afghanistan coverage perhaps in part due to her husband's military service and should be barred from reporting about the situation.

Here is the communication (condensed) I recently sent to the US Attorney, SDNY, Audrey Strauss, w/ a copy to her Chiefs, requesting that the Office prosecute Trump for the Stormy Daniels payoff scheme & related criminality. Trump is presumed innocent. 1/15
"I am a former Assistant U.S. Attorney w/ the Office & longtime member of the Criminal Justice Act Panel. Before the expiration of the statute of limitations (arguably as soon as this October though it could be later), I respectfully request that the Office prosecute 2/15
Donald Trump for the Stormy Daniels payoff scheme (and related criminality) that materially impacted the 2016 election, which also involved tax evasion and money laundering offenses, and for which Michael Cohen was convicted. 3/15

Joey's apartment was in a high rise coop apt high rise on 3rd Avenue, across fr The Continental, close to CBGBs. He combined 2 studio apartments together. He was surrounded by families, regular people. Heard he was a nice neighbor. I think his brother has the apartment now.
Even though The Ramones were one of the greatest bands of all time and were active for 22 years, they made a relatively modest living from touring, low record sales, & merch. They were well off but not multi-millionaires. I think Johnny was happy w/ his 1M retirement savings.
The real value of their music was with their amazing catalogue of music which benefits over time primarily the estates of Johnny (his wife) & Joey (his brother), & to a lesser extent DeeDee (his wife) bc he sold some of his rights before he passed. Also, Tommy's relatives. RIP.

The vast majority of charged defendants act rationally & consistent w/ their self-interest. Assuming Allen Weisselberg is rational & I believe he is, he will plead guilty & cooperate for the following ten reasons:
1. Serious charges that call for a lengthy incarceration in a state prison if AW does not cooperate.
2. Overwhelming evidence to support a conviction.
3. AW has competent/independent legal representation who will advise him to cooperate or commit malpractice if they don't.
4. Crippling legal fees if he contests the charges & it would be improper & a conflict if Trump pays for them.
5. AW must know that the best defense Trump has is to blame AW & Trump will do so.
6. Trump Org will soon to cease operating as a viable business entity.
