Ukraine War caused interruption in my updates but time to do Path 5: Tom Barrack
Tom Barrack was Trump's inauguration finance chair. He is closest thing Trump had to a real friend. Tom was a spy for UAE. He was arrested last summer. His trial in Sept

Donald Trump faces 6 paths to prison for LIFE
1. Weisselberg (NY Taxes etc) 2. Giuliani (Ukraine etc) 3. Matt Gaetz (leads to Trump selling pardons) 4. Roger Stone (Jan 6th) 5. Tom Barrack (UAE etc incl extortion of Qatar) 6. Mark Meadows (Espionage)

Tom Barrack trials include at least following elements: 1. Espionage for UAE (Dubai & Abu Dhabi) 2. Extortion of Qatar 3. Nuclear tech transfer to Saudi Arabia 4. Inauguration financial fraud
DOJ has been adding superceding indictments, only 1st filed

This is one of Mueller's hand-off cases. It was ready for arrest but Bill Barr blocked it. Merrick Garland approved the arrest almost immediately he become AG. So one of the collateral damage out of Barrack is possibly Bill Barr.

Tom Barrack joined with Jared Kushner to run a rogue foreign policy behind the backs of Tillerson & Mattis. Connected to Barrack - Manafort and Bannon, possibly Roger Stone. Erik Prince, Gen Flynn may also be involved.
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 6/
When DOJ filed initial indictments on which Tom Barrack was arrested, he was accused of being an illegal lobbyist for UAE. He should have flipped then. DOJ upped his charges with 9 new counts including espionage. Barrack took $374 million bribe from UAE

More superceding indictments are expected in this case. The Government handed Tom Barrack's attorneys 100,000 documents of Barrack's crimes. This case is very strong
They also may have a flip or 2 flips

I said the only rule of the Grand #Flippathon is to flip first. In this criminal trial, the obviousl flip race is between Tom Barrack and Jared Kushner. If you've been following my TW stream, I believe Jared has flipped. That screws Tom Barrack royally
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 9/
Barrack was arrested & indicted together with an associate Matthew Grimes. Barack was paing $2 million dollars in Grimes's legal fees
But in June Grimes severred ties to Barrack. If Grimes was flipping, that would happen. But is not certain he flipped

What we saw in Lev Parnas, his attorneys negotiated 9 months for deal, it fell through: no deal. Parnas WANTED a deal
Why did Feds lose interest suddenly? My guess is that was the evidence found in FBI raid of Giuliani's office
Tom in similar peril

Like in any Mafia Trial, the Boss is tried last
Barrack was arrested, his criminal trial is now
Next will be Jared and likely some others, like Pompeo
Trump will be tried last so he can't blame others
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 12/
I estimated Tom Barrack cumulative criminal prison sentences would be 70 years. If he does not get a plea bargain, he will not outlive his prison sentence
Trump prison time related to Tom Barrack crimes (so not Jan 6th, or taxes etc) is 90 years
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 13/
Collateral damage of foreign policy incl Bannon, Manafort, Jared, and likely Pompeo; and Bill Barr
Barrack was ALSO Trump's inauguration finance chair. Trumps swindled money in that scam. So collateral damage include Melania, Ivanka, Weisselberg
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 14/
The Government has Tom Barrack caught cold. If Jared flipped, it means Government does not NEED Tom Barrack to testify against Trump. His bargaining power would be minimal. BUT it is possible Tom has also flipped, or flipped before Jared.
Tom Barrack Aug Thread 15/
Donald Trump's first foreign trip was not to Canada or Britain. It was to Saudi Arabia in May 2017
All of Trump's Middle East meddling was corrupt. Tom Barrack organized early parts, Jared took over; later Pompeo continued corruption
Trump: 90 years
UPDATE 1
As I posted this, news broke that DOJ has told court in filing, that an informant used for Mar-A-Lago raid is also assisting on a 'totally unrelated' investigation into Trump
Jared is speculated to be that informant. And if he flipped, would incl this case vs Barrack

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
