⬆️ @Nonilex

>> has voted to hold in of

waited TOO DAMN LONG to defang within the GOP and they have come back stronger to bite him.

By waiting until he was “jolted” into action by , he has emboldened the bunch.

How did announce an investigation of days before elections, but Garland couldn’t do it in a timely manner on assuming his responsibility?

#TrumpTrial Tues 14 May, 2024 🧵

#Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.

#MichaelCohen says he told David #Pecker, fmr publisher of #NationalEnquirer, that he had been told that the federal investigation Cohen faced would be “taken care of” by #JeffSessions, then the #UnitedStates #AttorneyGeneral. Cohen testifies that it was #Trump who told him that.

Cohen testifies he continued to deal w/ #StormyDaniels in early 2018 w/Trump’s backing & blessing. He says that the president asked him to get a temporary restraining order against Daniels.

  1. How much legal jeopardy is #DonaldTrump in?

The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that #Trump had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.

The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary

  1. Now there's a surprise!

I guess #Trump feels most confortable with an #AttorneyGeneral who has been impeached just like him

Yup #KenPaxton, a guy who jiust might make #MichaelCohen blush
