Former Federal Prosecutor Warns That Trump’s Supporters May Launch Terrorist Attacks If He’s Indicted

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner says that the news Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. has stepped up his investigation of former President Donald Trump by empaneling a grand jury that will meet three days a week for six months could well lead to some of Trump’s supporters turning to violence and domestic terrorism.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out,” Kirschner began by discussing the acceleration of efforts by Vance as he looks at Trump and the Trump Organization:

“I agree that the DA empaneling this extraordinary grand jury, which will sit for six months as opposed to four weeks, doesn’t guarantee Trump will be indicted. It’s clearly the last stop on the road to an indictment. And every data point we have seen from the district attorney’s office trends toward indictment, whether it was the two-year battle to get his tax returns and his financials, two trips to the Supreme Court, they finally got ahold of it. They spent considerable New York taxpayer dollars hiring an expensive forensic accounting firm to help them unravel those documents. They then brought on board an expert mob former prosecutor as part of the team. Now they have empaneled a special grand jury to hear all the testimony of the witnesses and lock them in.”

Then Kirschner — who once worked for former Special Counsel Robert Mueller — warned that in a statement the ex-president released after the Washington Post broke the story about the new Manhattan grand jury, Trump claimed the entire investigation was an attack on not just on him, but on “us,” meaning those who still support him. That could set off a wave of terror attacks and violence by his supporters:

“I think there is a threat of violence. In the statement that Donald Trump made — we have seen this movie before. What did he put out a statement saying in response to [D.A. Cy] Vance’s announcement that there is a special grand jury being empaneled? He said, this is an affront not to me, to my 75 million followers, supporters, voters. What is he doing? He is trying to pull them in his criminal orbit. He is sending a signal, if I get indicted, you are figuratively getting indicted. What are you going to do about that? We have seen this movie before. He did it on January 6th when he lost the election.”

Thankfully, we now have a president and attorney general who will not tolerate such actions and are more than capable of responding to anyone who carries out violence in the name of Donald Trump.

Sworn Deposition Shows Ivanka Lied Under Oath

When she was asked under oath in a sworn deposition she gave regarding possibly illegal fundraising and spending by the 2017 Trump inaugural, Ivanka Trump appears to have lied about her knowledge of how her father’s company, the Trump Organization, was run, and who was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the corporation.

Lying during a deposition is a crime. Just the same as testimony in court while under oath, lying as part of a deposition is also considered perjury.

The possible lies told by Ivanka were revealed by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former close friend of Melania Trump who has soured on the Trumps since they attempted to blame her for the questionable finances of the Trump inaugural committee. Wolkoff posted this excerpt from Ivanka’s deposition on Twitter:

Allen Weisselberg has been the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization since the early 1970s and is considered to be the person who knows where every dollar of the company’s money is raised and spent.

Shortly after Wolkoff made her posting, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, responded with this:

Ivanka isn’t he first of the Trump children to get caught lying under oath. Her brother, Donald Trump Jr., also appears to have perjured himself, as Mother Jones first reported in April:

“During his deposition, Trump Jr. frequently replied, ‘I don’t recall,’ and he downplayed his involvement in preparation for his father’s inauguration in January 2017. In several exchanges, he made statements that are contradicted by documents or the recollections of others and that appear to be false.”

Don Jr’s. apparent lying was also regarding the 2017 Trump inaugural committee, which is believed to have personally enriched the Trump Organization by tens of millions of dollars, money that was diverted illegally to the Trump family in violation of federal and state law.

Perhaps the truest words ever said by a member of the Trump family were reportedly uttered by the failed, one-term former president, who raged that he wasn’t getting any of the money for the presidential transition:

“Fuck the law. I don’t give a fuck about the law. I want my fucking money.”

For a con man and grifter, it’s always about the fucking money. And it’s clear the Trump children inherited that grifting gene from their old man.

Congress Corruption Crime Sex Scandals

Matt Gaetz Gets Masterfully Trolled – Crowd Begins Singing, ‘She Was Just Seventeen…’

To put it mildly, things are not going well for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is under federal investigation for allegedly sexually trafficking an underage girl and other disgusting shenanigans that could send him to prison for 10 years to life.

Recently, we learned that Gaetz’s longtime friend Joel Greenberg has agreed to enter a guilty plea on charges of sex trafficking and was now cooperating with federal prosecutors in exchange for leniency when sentence is handed down.

And then reports came out that Gatez’s ex-girlfriend is also working with the feds to bring the Florida Republican to justice, with CNN reporting:

“The woman, a former Capitol Hill staffer, is seen as a critical witness, as she has been linked to Gaetz as far back as the summer of 2017, a period of time that has emerged as a key window of scrutiny for investigators. She can also help investigators understand the relevance of hundreds of transactions they have obtained records of, including those involving alleged payments for sex, the sources said.”

Clearly, this has been the weeks from hell for Matty, and he probably didn’t think the situation could get any worse or more humiliating for him.

Until it did.

While he was in Ohio trying to pretend he’s not on the verge of being hit with indictments, Gaetz got trolled by some in the audience who began singing:

“She was just seventeen…”

Now that is some epic trolling, and it set off laughter all over Twitter:

https://twitter.com/TeriBrisco/status/1395700660356751360?s=20

Matt Gaetz is indeed in a world of shit. And he deserves to be laughed at. So let’s make sure we share that video all over social media so it can go viral and humiliate Matty even further.

Congress Coronavirus GOP WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Gets An Online Beatdown When She Gives Nancy Pelosi A Disgusting Nickname

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) outdid herself recently, comparing mask mandates in the House of Representatives to the Holocaust and then giving Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a disgusting nickname which wound up getting her pelted with online barbs.

First came the Holocaust comment, which the Georgia Republican made while speaking with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network. She told Brody on his podcast:

“You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”

That led the American Jewish Congress to issue a statement criticizing Greene:

“You can never compare health-related restrictions with yellow stars gas chambers and other Nazi atrocities. Such comparisons demean the Holocaust and contaminate American political speech. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene must immediately retract and apologize.”

The Holocaust comments were merely the prelude for a tweet Greene sent out in which she personally attacked Speaker Pelosi:

WTF is that all about?! If Greene doesn’t want to observe the House mask mandate, maybe she should stay home and telecommute to her Washington, D.C. office. Or, even better, maybe Greene needs to find a different line of work because she’s sure as hell isn’t getting anything accomplished in Congress other than proving what a complete shithead she is.

Twitter had some suggestions for Congresswoman Greene, and it’s safe to say she won’t like them:

https://twitter.com/JudyLaTorre6/status/1395721605867786244?s=20

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a carbuncle on the Congress. The antidote: Voting her sorry ass out of office in 2022.

Obama Unplugged: Tells Donors Trump Is ‘Corrupt’ And A ‘F**king Lunatic’

Admit, it. You’ve always wondered what former President Barack Obama thought about the clown who took over in 2016 and quickly set about ruining the American economy, failing to contain a deadly pandemic, and turning the United States into a global pariah.

 

And now, thanks to an excerpt from a soon-to-be published book by Edward-Isaac Dovere entitled Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Donald Trump, we know that in private Obama let it rip and tol Democratic donors exactly that he thought about his successor.

The Guardian published the excerpt from Dovere’s book, and it makes clear Obama had zero respect for the inept Trump:

“He’s a madman,” Dovere reports Obama telling “big donors looking to squeeze a reaction out of him in exchange for the big checks they were writing to his foundation”.

“More often: ‘I didn’t think it would be this bad.’ Sometimes: ‘I didn’t think we’d have a racist, sexist pig.’ Depending on the outrage of the day … a passing ‘that fucking lunatic’ with a shake of his head.”

But perhaps the strongest remarks from President Obama were made when reports surfaced that Trump was talking to foreign leaders — including Russian President Vladimir Putin — about the investigation conducted into the 2016 election and Trump’s possible connections to the Kremlin. Even worse, Trump had those conversations without a single White House aide on the call:

“That corrupt motherfucker.”

Yep. That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

Even worse is that Obama is 100% right. Trump is indeed a madman, a lunatic, and a corrupt mofo.

Trump will probably read those Obama quotes and want to respond on Twitter. But he can’t, because he’s banned for life. So that means Obama gets the last word, and that’s certain to enrage Trump even more.
