As justice closes in, Trump is sinking in his toxic, depraved swamp

With luck, most of his MAGA mob of treasonous Republicans will down with him.

The never-ending, mind numbing circus called criminally-indicted and disgraced former president Donald John Trump’s scramble to avoid criminal trials, convictions and needed time behind bars in prison continues ad infinitum.

Writes our friend and favorite New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd:


Each set of indictments seem to drive up Trump’s popularity in his dwindling but still loud “MAGA” base, a collection of racists, white supremacists, bifots and brain-dead lemmings who would rather support a fraud and criminal than see America thrive under the democracy that he threatens.

In reality, Trump is a vicious traitor who deserves to be in prison, not the White House. The fact that he remains free is a testamint to the patience of a criminal justice system that still treats him like a former leaeder of our nation instead of the con-artist and criminal he is.

Special counsel Jack Smith, a seasoned prosecutor who has argued, and won cases before the World Court and put away international criminals, is a methodical, meticulous man who is closing the legal vice arouynd the despicgle Trump but the loose and vague rules hidden in our Constitution allow him to keep running for an office he doesn;t deserve or qualify for.

During the Jan. 6 2021 Capitol riot where mobs incited by Trump trashed the seat of democracy n America and came close to overturning a legal election, Trump aide, in a text asked: “How best [to] proceed tomorrow so we don’t look like a donkey show, particularly on the comms/media front?” Deputy campaign manager Justin Clark res;onded: “Here’s the thing the way this has morphed it’s a crazy play so I don’t know who wants to put their name on it.”

Trump, scrambling to saver his sordid political life and stay out of jail has no problem puttiing his name on the most toxic and illegal attempts to destroy the nation he had sworn to serve in a presidency he didn’t serve.

Dowd says it best:

The same must be said of the GOP ship of fools that is sinking under the weight of its own treasonous acts to support Trump in all his blatant criminality. How long, we wonder, can they tread water?

I'm looking forward to the Republicans in Congress who aided and abetted Trump with his J6 plans, to be indicted as well.

Priceless ^^^

A fourth indictment of former President Trump is expected any day now. This fourth indictment is coming from Fulton County DA Fani Willis Fulton County, Georgia, the state's largest county and the home to over one million Georgians. This would be a state indictment.

District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating alleged crimes of election tampering against the former President for over two and a half years including the January 2, 2021 "perfect call" where then President Donald Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to change the state's election results.

There are other alleged crimes that Team Trump has alleged to have committed in Georgia besides the "perfect call," those include a slate of fake electors and voting machine tampering.

Georgia investigators have come into possession of texts and emails linking Turmp's legal team to a voting system breach in Coffee County, GA. Per CNN, Investigators in the Georgia criminal probe have long suspected the breach was not an organic effort sprung from sympathetic Trump supporters in rural and heavily Republican Coffee County - a county Trump won by nearly 70% of the vote. They have gathered evidence indicating it was a top-down push by Trump’s team to access sensitive voting software, according to people familiar with the situation.

One of Fulton County's DA Willis' specialties is prosecuting RICO cases. RICO cases has been the hallmark of Fani Willis' tenure as a prosecutor.

RICO is The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) of 1970. RICO allows tying together apparently unrelated crimes with a common objective into a prosecutable pattern of racketeering. In addition, RICO provides for severer penalties and permits a defendant to be convicted and separately punished for both the underlying crimes that constitute the pattern of racketeering activity and for a substantive violation of RICO.

Just as expected, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced the latest indictment against former President Donald Trump and eighteen others over his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election on Monday.

Trump was charged with 13 felonies, including violation of the Georgia RICO Act, filing false documents, false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, and conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, and former Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis and John Eastman were among those also charged.

All totaled, Trump has now been accused of 91 felonies over four indictments. Given that most carry a five year sentence, Trump being 77-years old, five years is essentially a life sentence.

What are the chances Trump will not see the inside of a courtroom before the election?

I suspect the chances are high.

I'll bet you a 3 month subscription to Reader Rant (via Blue Ridge Photography) of $10 each month for 3 months that you're wrong and Trump WILL see on trial before the election.

Just a suspicion at this point .... after listening to a number of attorneys discuss procedures (read that as motions) and the amount of time each consumes, with the added benefit of possible SC hearing some of them, it would appear, trials could very easily not start until after the election. Of course it would not matter to Trump if he lost the nomination, in the short run, but he would of course be hopeful a Republican would win and then pardon him. As far as GA ... I hope they lock him up.

Let's see what the battlefield looks like by Christmas.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent! Lets wait to prove it in court until April 2026! "

LOL ... last week he was going to prove he is innocent today with massive evidence of criminal voter misconduct in GA ... but it appears his attorneys convinced him he did not have the proof and in fact it would be beneficial to his prosecution.

I predict we'll never see his evidence but will continue to hear his bloviating nonsense of election fraud

I had sincerely hoped the J6 Committee would have taken every single accusation and addressed them all with Kraken Lady, Ellis, Giuliani, Navarro, Epsteyn being all present and listen to their protestations as every one of the accusations would have been debunked by credible testimony. It would have left them with only one possibility for election loss ... space aliens manipulated the ballots in Biden's favor using Jedi mind tricks ... which of course can not be proved nor disproved.
