Good News: more signs that the trump criminal cabal might be made to face justice after all
I like to be able to report good news. Sadly, there was very little of that for the last four-plus years under the previous administration. However, fortunately, we have an administration that is about justice, and a DOJ that has been told, in no uncertain terms, that they are to follow the evidence no matter who is found to be guilty of a crime. So now, we have new information coming out where we are being given hope that the criminal cabal of trump and his enablers might just be brought to justice after all.
Guess what? It all goes back to the Mueller Report which told us that it wasn’t an exoneration. Even Bill Barr, trump’s man in the DOJ, had to admit that much. However, it now seems that was not the only omission or misleading statement that he made. As we all remember, the report was in two parts. The first part detailed the things that Russia did to influence the election, this information had support from the intelligence community, by the way. The second part was all of the things that trump did that were “likely” Obstruction of Justice.
At the time, there was talk about the alleged “exemption for any crime for the President” bullcrap, but apparently, also Bill Barr faked a decision. He claimed, to the court, that the lawyers for the Justice Department ruled that none of those items (about 10 in all) were actually crimes. It seems that was a lie.
In a ruling within the past few days, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the document that Barr claimed was a ruling by the Justice Dept lawyers was simply a cover for a decision that Barr had made prior to any verification at all. In effect, Barr made the decision and then tried to give himself cover by getting this “document” which he is now being required to release so that the courts and the American people can find the truth.
Many of us have felt that the Mueller Report was a smoking gun on the criminality of the trump mob, and this would seem to confirm that our suspicions are correct. The irony is after all the abuse that we have taken about “the report was a big nothing, you silly people” we may yet be found to be correct in our assertions.
But it gets even better. While anything that forces the trump team to explain themselves is good, there is some thought that the alliances might just come apart. Remember how trump threw Michael Cohen, his enforcer, under the bus? Well, chances are good that he will do the same thing to Giuliani before it is over. After all, it seems that Giuliani didn’t get paid for his “law advice” in finding to steal the election in 2020 for trump and that may yet come back to haunt him.
First of all, Giuliani seems to be having financial problems. After all, if he didn’t pay for all the legal “advice” (I use the term advisedly since it was really advice on how to commit a crime as far as I am concerned, including the insurrection on Jan 6th) and now he has a 1.3 billion dollar lawsuit against him because of his attacks on the voting machine people, he must be facing some expenses. In fact, his advisors and representation is already suggesting that trump should use part of the 250 million dollar slush fund that he has built up from his supporters to defend Giuliana.
Actually, that money was built up supposedly for “campaign activity” but we know that trump has no scruples about the use of funds since he used money donated to his charity for personal things like the famous picture of himself which was quite expensive. Now, for me, several thousand or even hundred for a picture of myself would be a sign of more ego that I have or even want to have. However, to use charity donations to buy it should, if it isn’t a crime. But then, we know that New York State did away with that fake charity so we know that they agree with me. :)
So, it would be easy for trump to once again dip into funds given to him for another purpose to bail his lawyer out. But nobody that knows trump really expects him to do so. Giuliani, at some point, recorded a video, probably on Fox News where he said that “I have protection” so likely we are looking at another flip at some point in the near future. Giuliani will likely decide that since trump is not standing by him, he has no further reason to support trump.
Certainly, there is plenty of reason to expect that scenario to go down, because we know trump’s tendency not to be loyal to his grunt people, or even pay contractors and employees if he can get away with it….by say declaring bankruptcy.
Whoever said there was “honor among thieves” didn’t know the trump mob obviously. Personally, I love seeing the jackals turn on each other. The only thing that would make me feel better is if the whole gang got rounded up and sent up the river to the “Big House” for a few years….if not the rest of their lives. But time will tell. At least, hopefully, we will see them having to squirm a bit.
The youtube videos are interesting and are backed up by the articles. The second video is especially entertaining because those are words from someone that used to deep within the trump cabal. He may not be trustworthy, but it is fun to see anyway.
