(THREAD) Paul Manafort and Rick Gates are now indicted. This thread analyzes legal and political aspects of their indictment and surrender.
1/ Draw no conclusion from the two being allowed to surrender rather than being arrested at home/work. It often happens in nonviolent cases.

This is only the beginning.

He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight.

The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone.

Choose who you'll be in this moment.
If I had told you a year ago that Marjorie Taylor Greene wouldn't be radical enough for MAGA, nor Lauren Boebert, nor Thomas Massie, nor John Cornyn, nor the senator-doctor who made Kennedy Jr. DHHS chief... if I told you he would be openly stealing our money to fund terrorism...
If I told you he'd be on his fourth war. If I told you he'd be deporting citizens, even killing us in the streets. If I told you he'd demolish the White House. If I told you he'd declare himself the arbiter of when America goes to war. If I told you he'd be an open war profiteer.

The BARE MINIMUM you do to a criminal defense lawyer who signs a non-prosecution agreement with HIS OWN CLIENT is disbar him.

But that is insufficient for Todd Blanche, who took an OFFICIAL ACTION as acting AG as part of a BRIBE to hold his job permanently.

He must be indicted. Image
It gets worse. This breaking news confirms Blanche knew Trump had no case against the IRS when he gave his client $1.8B in taxpayer cash and promised never to prosecute him. Blanche will now become permanent AG. This is a criminal bribe—a TEXTBOOK example. thedailybeast.com/trumps-18b-slu…
To put a finer point on this: the Attorney General of the United States is a felon. Not a minor thug, but a felon who committed one of the most serious offenses identified in the text of our Constitution...in broad daylight.

This wasn't bad judgment; it's worthy of imprisonment.

Dusty turds like this get follows off the ignorance of their readers. Bush v. Gore *infamously* seized both federal *and* state issues from the Florida Supreme Court—in the former case instituting a one-off 14th Am. reading it immediately abandoned—and I bet this troll knows it. Image
By a 5-4 vote, conservatives stole the 2000 election by ending counting—a decision properly for the Florida Supreme Court on the basis of a state "safe harbor" provision. A study later showed Gore would've won had counting gone on.

SCOTUS knew it. I know it. This troll knows it.
So what we have here is bad lawyers lying to nonlawyers about a bad decision bad judges made 25+ years ago. And everyone pretends they read a ruling they didn't because clicks are all that matters—rule of law is gone, just like this dry turd and his friends planned it. Sickening.

(🚨) We’re mere *hours* from a constitutional crisis of historic proportions—and many Americans don’t seem to realize it.

Why? Because nearly no corporate media outlet will properly report on it. So please consider sharing this new report widely.

🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/trumps-secon…Image
I want to mention a couple of items that lay outside this already sprawling report.

First, that this war about to become illegal under U.S. law—and long illegal under international law—is in the midst of causing a global economic collapse, energy crisis, food crisis, and more.
The UAE is leaving OPEC. Saudi Arabia is leaving LIV. Israel is annexing almost 10% of Lebanon. Gas prices are out of control, so much so that Trump stans on cable news are simply making up numbers all of us know are false. The jet fuel crisis will shortly become a travel crisis.

(🚨) OK, the time has come.

Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump.

Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library. nytimes.com/2026/04/18/us/…
As a journalist I've spilled more words on crooked Trump lawyer Joe diGenova and his lawyer partner Victoria Toensing than any author writing in English. For years I told U.S. media to watch these two, as their specialty is Roger Stone-style election ratfuckery.

Now here we are.
The job diGenova had in the 2020 election was to regularly meet secretly at a Trump hotel restaurant with a team tasked with manufacturing fake pro-Biden foreign election interference.

Trump picking him to prosecute supposed election interference is a five-alarm national fire.

NOTE: If Kash Patel indeed brings manufactured criminal cases over the 2020 election this week—something he knows a lot about, as he sought fake evidence from Kremlin agents to steal the 2020 election for Trump—it’s *not about 2020*.

It’s about rigging elections *going forward*.
As detailed in PROOF OF COUP (2023), the 2020-born Waldron Plot—which Patel was aware of—held that an obscure DHS reg lets Trump seize voting machines and take control of elections if evidence of foreign tampering is found.

Patel is expert at faking such evidence. So stay tuned.
Patel worked as hard as anyone in America to try to steal the 2020 election—via the clandestine BLT Prime Team whose activities are detailed in the national bestseller PROOF OF CORRUPTION (2020) and would be as infamous as the Watergate plumbers if America had a functional media.
