Then on FBI raid of two US homes of Russian oligarch (Putin stooge) Oleg Deripaska

I had to think about this and dig into it. Let's do a short thread about Manafort's boss...
Oleg Deripaska is an aluminum Billionaire worth about $4.5 Billion. One of world's richest men. He was one of those who raided Russian wealth when Putin took over the country & became Dictator. Oleg is one of Czar Vladimir the Smug's fave errand boys & regularly travels with him
When Putin invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea, President Obama slapped biggest sanctions that USA had ever imposed on any country, upon Russia. INCLUDING oligarchs and their businesses. Including Oleg Deripaska and Rusal his aluminum company, in 2014
Paul Manafort (worst American to ever have lived) became Trump's campaign manager in 2016 and 'worked for free'

In reality he was paid by Putin - through Deripaska - BOTH have confessed that an employment contact was for Manafort to work for Deripaska AT THIS TIME

Yes. Scumbag
Oh, Manafort the most vile American ever to have lived. Helped oligarchies that pillaged countries on five continents. He was the personal advisor to mass murderer Dictators like Mobutu Sese-Seko, Marcos, & this dude. Putin's pal Yanukovych who tried to become Dictator of Ukraine
In the 2016 Republican convention, Paul Manafort arranged for the Republican party platform to REMOVE text critical of the just-happened invasion annexation of Crimea by Russia. And Manafort got Trump to talk about ending sanctions of Russia

Oh, of course 'no connection' haha
In 2017, after Trump became President, he decided to end Obama's sanctions on Russia

It was a REPUBLICAN Congress, both House and Senate, that stopped Trump. That is why Sanctions remained also against Deripaska, Manafort's boss.
After 2018, DEMs took House. Trump tried again to lift sanctions on Manafort boss. This time a curious thing happened in Kentucky

Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle, #MoscowMitch agreed to lift sanctions on Deripaska COMPANIES but not the man himself

Kentucky got an aluminum factory
You would think Deripaska was feeling the pain? Unless you found out that Putin had made his errand boy Oleg a diplomat, and now Deripaska does not need a visa, the sanctions did not prevent Deripaska from visiting his 2 lavish US homes at will

Well played Czar Vladimir the Smug
Meanwhile Manafort was caught by Mueller, faced a fair trial. Was convicted during a Republican Attorney General on federal crimes, was sentenced & imprisoned

Then Trump pardoned Oleg Deripaska's boy, Paulie Ostrich Coat, of course. Trump does whatever Putin demands.
That is the history. Now we learned Oleg Deripaska's two homes were raided by FBI. Deripaska is not in the USA. Had not been to those homes in months.

For the search warrant to be approved, the FBI had to convice judge there is evidence of a CURRENT or recent crime
FBI raid of two Oleg Deripaska homes COULD be related to almost any Trump criminal investigation including Weisselberg, Giuliani, Tom Barrack, Matt Gaetz (simultaneous news US Secret Service assisting in Joel Greenberg investigation = financial) or any other federal investigation
But we DO know it will be federal and INTERNATIONAL. It is either sanctions busting, or international bribes, or both. Deripaska was involved in INTIMIDATING witnesses in 2018

Trump & possibly GOP (Mitch? Manafort?) will be involved. Criminal indictments are coming

Stay tuned

GAG ORDER THREAD

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

Justice IS COMING

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 !!!
Image
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.. Image
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 Image

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

Ok, Trumpo, I'm game
Let's get Trump opinions by HIS OWN Generals:

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... Image
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

and more... Image

New York New York Thread /1

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

Flipper Thread/1

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 Image
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 Image
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

But it gets worse Image
