I know #ArrestTrumpNow is trending. And Trump will be arrested. He will lose in over 20 separate criminal trials, over the next 7-10 years, but like any Mafia trial, he will ALWAYS be tried last
The FIRST criminal court case to take Trump to prison is NY tax fraud = Weisselberg
Trump has 5 separate PATHS to prison. Each of them involves MULTIPLE SEPARATE criminals and many crimes, tried in separate criminal courts.
On the Weisselberg path, Trump faces multiple FINANCIAL crimes incl NY tax fraud, NY money laundering, Federal sanctions busting, etc
Allen Weisselberg, Trump's accountant, was indicted not just for a million dollar PERSONAL tax fraud, but for GRAND LARCENY as Trump Org Chief Financial Officer. His trial is this Autumn. They have his double-bookkeeping (= slam dunk tax fraud case) and 3 cooperating witnesses
New York juries HATE tax cheats. Billionaire Leona Helmsley went to prison for cheating on taxes. Allen is certain to go to prison
Manhattan DA in court documents said there are OTHER TAX CHEATS (plural = Trump kids) & at least one is bigger tax cheat than Weisselberg (= Trump)
When Trump's turn comes (Mafia trial: Boss is always tried last) he is screwed, because Trump has ALREADY CONFESSED to this crime.
Before Trump's own trial, after Weisselberg, will be Beavis & Butthead - they ALSO confessed to cheating on NY taxes proclaiming everybody does it
Allen Weisselberg faces about 12 years for NY tax fraud
Next he faces Life sentence for money laundering for Mafia
Next he faces Federal Life Without Parole for Sanctions Busting for Russia
Plus more crimes
About 122 years when all added
Trump's own part is about 152 years
The Weisselberg Path to take Trump to prison, like all 5 paths, is a Mafia Trial. Trump will be tried LAST
First was Michael Cohen, convicted
Now Allen Weisselberg, trial this Autumn
Next will be Ivanka, Beavis & Butthead Trump
(Ivanka may already have flipped)
And Trump is last
I know everybody wants Trump in prison. Have patience. This is a Mafia trial, the Boss is always tried last. Weisselberg's turn is now
Heres the silver lining. After his tax fraud conviction, Trump will be a CONVICTED TAX FRAUD in all his other criminal cases, as the defendant
PS - if you want to see similar summaries to the other 4 of 5 Paths for Trump to prison (Giuliani, Tom Barrack, Roger Stone/Jan 6th, and Matt Gaetz/pardons) I have now this Index link to all 5 Paths:
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
