(THREAD) In this thread, a longtime criminal attorney analyzes one of the most pressing questions in American life today: how long will the Russia probe go on?

Read on for an answer, and please share this thread widely.
1/ The President and his Congressional and administration allies recently initiated a national campaign to convince America the Russia probe is nearly done.

It's not.

Ty Cobb, one of the President's attorneys, is the source of much of the misinformation. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

(THREAD) This is a live thread of the testimony of Michael Cohen in Donald Trump’s criminal trial. Its author is a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and former criminal defense attorney. I’ll not only be covering the testimony live but adding essential background.

Please RETWEET. Image
1/ First, some information on my own brief association with Michael Cohen, in the interest of full disclosure. I’ve been interviewed by Michael Cohen on his podcast, and thereafter was invited back many times; I did not accept those invitations. I have spoken to Michael by phone.
2/ In speaking with Michael by phone, he floated (at a minimum) the idea of me ghostwriting or co-writing his second book, the follow-up to his #1 New York Times bestseller DISLOYAL—a book I candidly thought was surprisingly excellent.

I had no interest whatsoever in doing this.

(THREAD) This thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and former criminal defense lawyer offers the most comprehensive breakdown yet of the most explosive testimony about a POTUS ever: Stormy Daniels’ testimony. I’ll be working off court transcripts.

Please RETWEET. Image
1/ Please know in advance that this thread will be R-related and not appropriate for children. It will involve testimony about sexual intercourse with a former President of the United States as well as implications—in the testimony on same—that a sexual assault may have occurred.
2/ Further understand that while he objected to this testimony in court, demanded a mistrial over this testimony, was admonished for swearing audibly to intimidate the witness and jurors during this testimony and denies it in full, Trump *asked* for this witness.

I will explain.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: More Evidence Emerges That Much of the Chaos at the Gaza Protests Is Inorganic and May Be Arising From Non-Leftist Sources

🔗:

The first sections of this report are free—the rest free with the trial offer at the link. Please RT. sethabramson.substack.com/p/more-evidenc…
Image
1/ This massive report ultimately considers six different non-Leftist entities inciting and/or participating in violence across America right now:

🟥 Anonymous External Agitators
🟥 Pro-Israel Counter-Protesters
🟥 Police
🟥 Foreign Agents
🟥 MAGA Leadership
🟥 GOP Executives
2/ Those who don’t read this article will wrongly claim it says things it doesn’t: that these protests have no leftists in them; that there’s no leftist violence anywhere in America; that there’s been no antisemitism at any of the pro-Palestinians protests.

All that is false.

(THREAD) This is a brief thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer on what everyone—literally everyone—is missing about the 34 felonies Donald Trump committed to win the 2016 presidential election. This will change how you understand the 2016 election cycle.

Please RETWEET. Image
1/ I’ve been covering Donald Trump more or less full-time since the day he announced his presidential candidacy in 2015, so there are things I remember as part of my job that many who follow politics more casually don’t and wouldn’t.

One is that Trump believed he’d lose in 2016.
2/ There were many articles just before the 2016 election and just after it confirming that Trump ran in 2016 to elevate the only thing he really cares about—his brand. Of course he was *trying* to win and *sort of* even wanted to win, but mainly the run was to raise his profile.

They can deny it all they want, but Kristi Noem is the frontrunner to be Trump’s VP—and it’s based entirely on her physical appearance.

That’s just how Trump operates.

He may ultimately go with someone else, but Noem is who he’s sexually attracted to and so she’s atop his list.
I’m sorry if that offends people. I’m *certainly* not saying that this is how things should be. But I’m sick of us pretending that Trump is someone other than who he is simply because his aides are smart enough to know that they must *pretend* that when speaking with journalists.
When Trump was starting to think about selecting a VP in 2016, abortion was legal and he was an outsider who needed an insider on his ticket who seemed vaguely morally and politically responsible. Now abortion is illegal, Trump is unhinged, and he needs/wants a woman as a lackey.
