We do not (yet) know WHY those resignations happened, and PLEASE do not assume NY Times assertion of Manhattan DA 'being reluctant' is even remotely accurate. It sounds TOTALLY like Trump spin in bad situation
It is likely STRATEGY of a given case/witness etc
It is certain that Weisselberg trial happens, and Weisselberg is convicted, to 12-15 years in prison + 1M back taxes + $2M fees, unless he flips
After that Weisselberg faces 7 more criminal trials as a CONVICTED FELON and loses all seven
so of course he flips (eventually)
It is CERTAIN that Trump will be prosecuted for the Weisselberg-related tax frauds with Trump org. Why certain? Because Manhattan DA has already told judge in Weisselberg case, there is one tax fraud BIGGER than Weisselberg, that committed same crime. That = Trump
But that Trump part, of Weisselberg's tax fraud trial, will not come until AFTER Weisselberg conviction. And most likely, the Manhattan DA will prosecute Don Jr, Ivanka & Eric next, BEFORE Donald Trump, in that tax fraud criminal case
Completely unrelated to Manhattan DA resignations today, there are NY state investigations ongoing that are in subpoena stage, against Trump on financial fraud
And NY state investigations into Trump frauds in Westchester
And NY state investgations into money laundering
Completely unrelated to Trump Manhattan DA and New York State crimes, there is a parallel criminal investgation FEDERALLY into Trump money laundering and sanctions busting
Separately another federal investigation into Trump IRS fraud
Separately a trial is coming on Trump campaign finances where he swindled a million dollars out of the 2016 inauguration funding
All this is before we consider all other states that line up after Manhattan, to come after Trump taxes. Illinois will be second
Beyond all that, there are Trump's non-finance related crimes. Georgia, January 6th, voting machines, Ukraine extortion, Qatar extrotion, selling Presidential pardons etc
Do not become demoralized about the 2 resignations. There is some reason. We will. find out.

So my Thread about Putin's plan. You probably did not know some parts to how long he's been brewing this, how far further he has already come, & how far he intends to go
I trust you remember. In 2014 Russian Dictator Putin sent his Spetsnaz special forces soldiers dressed as civilians, to invade Ukraine's, Crimea. Then flew the Russian flag there, declared it belongs to Russia. He annexed Crimea
You might not know, that Putin ALSO has Russian troops occupying parts of the territory in 3 other independent countries of Eastern Europe, that once were part of the Soviet Union: Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Yes Putin has ALSO taken slices from those..
Bannon KNEW to expect the criminal charge about Contempt of Congress. He may even have thought, I can handle 2 months in prison
He PROBABLY had not known, there is a team of SEVEN investigating his OTHER CRIMES already in DOJ
I believe this scared Bannon
When Bannon SAW what DOJ brought against him the first time he was convicted, Bannon KNOWS the DOJ is serious, they will toss his ass into prison. He tried to fight them and lost
then BEGGED Trump for a pardon which he got
Now Bannon has no other way out than flip #Flippathon
Consider Jan 6 plotters list. WHO RATS OUT OTHERS?
Giuliani
Gen Flynn
Bannon
Erik Prince
Roger Stone
Don Jr
Mark Meadows
Lindsey Graham
Sen Johnson
Rep Gosar
Gym Jordan
Rep Scott Perry
Christina Bobb
Alex Jones
Sidney Powell
John Eastman
My Pillow Guy
Remember, they need to confess ALL. Incl rat out all:
Giuliani
Gen Flynn
Bannon
Erik Prince
Roger Stone
Don Jr
Mark Meadows
Lindsey Graham
Sen Johnson
Rep Gosar
Gym Jordan
Rep Scott Perry
Christina Bobb
Alex Jones
Sidney Powell
John Eastman
My Pillow Guy
Then think of Trump. Whoever flips, has to also testify against Trump. Who?
Giuliani
Gen Flynn
Bannon
Erik Prince
Roger Stone
Don Jr
Mark Meadows
Lindsey Graham
Sen Johnson
Rep Gosar
Gym Jordan
Rep Scott Perry
Christina Bobb
Alex Jones
Sidney Powell
John Eastman
My Pillow Guy
So he suddenly says Trump is 1 of 3 worst US Presidents in history. Bannon KNOWS this will set Trump off and cause vicious attacks against Bannon, yet he said it
My take is after Bannon got his pardon, Bannon knew, he will split with Trump & now happened
What is bizarre is that Bannon was so stupid to take the prison time that the Congress subpoena into DOJ criminal charge leads. His case is a near-slam dunk and it faces minimum 1 month, up to 1 year in prison. This for a guy who got a PARDON
If Bannon was to flip on Trump, why not flip 2 months earlier and not go to prison. That was really really dumb
BUT it tells me, Bannon did not know what caused him to now 'urgently' flip. Something likely happend past few days/hours to cause this
Please understand. Democrats can NOT be forced to clean up Republican garbage. BUT if Republican leadership demand a vote to invoke Section 3 of 14th Amendment - the DEMs will JOIN that
It has to be GOP who clean up their mess. Their Trump
It is technically possible to invoke 14th Amendment against Trump & his mob in Congress. That CANNOT be the Democrats who do that
Republicans HAD their chance to vote against Trump about Jan 6 - in second IMPEACHMENT
It is Mitch McTurtle's FAULT
Under NO circumstance can we let Democrats start to clean up after Mitch McTurtle's turd (aka Trump). If Democrats suggested 14th Amendment, it will be used by GOP to win elections claiming political persecution
Trump is NOT OUR PROBLEM. He demolishes GOP. Let THEM demand 14th A
