And to be clear. Criminal prosecution of all who plotted biggest criminal conspiracy in US history (Jan 6th) is conducted at DOJ, in secrecy, and at enormous resources & proficiently under Attorney General Merrick Garland. They are systematically flipping criminals layer by layer
The CRIMINAL prosecution of Jan 6th organizers has NOTHING to do with Congressional Jan 6th hearings. Garland & DOJ have achieved confessions & flips of leaders in 2 key groups of violent organizers (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers) and will take every organizer into prison incl Trump
The way a criminal prosecution of a mafia boss is done, is you start from bottom & get some to flip on their bosses, then get those bosses to flip on their bosses, on up, until mafia boss (in case of Jan 6th, Trump himself) is caught & then convicted.
EVERYBODY GOES TO PRISON
Garland has conducted this CRIMINAL investigation at DOJ with excellent secrecy, as needed - you do not want criminals warned they are being investigated - and flipped bottom layer perps. And got them to rat out their bosses. Have ALREADY flipped some of their leaders. And now..
And now DOJ is using those to flip the NEXT LAYER UP. It is CERTAIN that the plotters of Jan 6th will be caught, tried, convicted & rot in prison, most on sentences of federal life without parole. Incl Giuliani, Bannon, Gen Flynn, Erik Prince, Don Jr, Roger Stone, Mark Meadows..
We have had VERY strong signs, that DOJ has ALREADY secured flips by: Bill Barr, Ivanka, Jared, and quite possibly Mark Meadows
It is clear Alex Jones is TRYING to get a deal with DOJ (and likely has been refused that deal). Giuliani behavior is consistent with trying to flip
If just two or 3 of these flip, it is game over for ALL of them, most who will confess & try to flip on someone else:
Don Jr
Giuliani
Meadows
Gen Flynn
Roger Stone
Erik Prince
Bannon
Gosar
Gym Jordan
John Eastman
Sen Ron Johnson
Sen Graham
Qevin McCarthy
Rep Perry
Ginny Thomas...
REMEMBER the DOJ is pressuring the STAFFERS of these criminals. Many of those staffers have flipped and provided documents and recordings, to get a plea bargain for themselves, and ratted out their bosses
Every organizer of Jan 6th goes to prison, incl those who get plea bargain
I said the rule of the Grand #Flippathon is to flip fast, to flip first. First to flip gets best deal. & THAT deal involves years in prison. The next deal is worse, measured in decades in prison. Most will get no deal, & will die in prison, on federal Life without parole sentence

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
