1/This is a week that could be the end of the beginning of accountability for Trump. Atty/client privilege was once again ruled inapplicable bec of crime/fraud exception resulting in atty Evan Corcoran testifying at Jack Smith's grand jury about classified documents.
2/Corcoran's testimony may be key to proving Trump obstructed the investigation. Plus, we learned another atty, Tim Parlatore, testified in Dec. Meanwhile, T said he'd be indicted in NY (but wasn't) and called on his cult to protest, which is what caused Jan6.
3/He didn't ask for peaceful protest. Then T threatened death & destruction if he were indicted, & today he is holding a rally in Waco TX, home of the militia movement, which seems like a call to arms & violence to me, much like what led to #Jan6. Watch out because there's more.
4/Trump's troubles also include Judge Beryl Howell's ruling that his chief of staff Mark Meadows & many other top aides must testify before the federal grand jury investigating Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Meadows is a key witness.
5/Others ordered to testify are former director of national intelligence John Ratcliffe, former top Department of Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli, former national security advisor Robert O'Brien, former top aide Stephen Miller, former social media director Dan Scavino,
6/and former Trump aides Nick Luna and John McEntee. But there's more -- showing his realization that GA may be ready to indict, Trump's attys filed to dismiss the case that hadn't yet been filed there on clise to frivolous grounds.
7/GA has a strong case & there's no credible defense. Ditto the 2 pending federal cases (classified documents +obstruction and Jan6). And the E Jean Carroll is set for April. That's a lot for Trump to worry about, but I'm worrying about violence resulting from Waco rally.
8/Good luck to all of us today.
