Subject: RE: Federal, State & local prosecution of Donald Trump From: Donuel Date: 23 May 21 - 12:45 PM I used to pride myself in looking ahead and often being right but this time I am behind and just catching up to the connection between opiate addiction and Trump supporters. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/24/trump-owns-fentanyl-crisis/ https://www.healio.com/news/primary-care/20180622/trump-supporters-linked-to-chronic-opioid-use Historicly the only other society that was completely immersed in opioids and crystal meth was the third Reich. Addicted people are surprisingly motivated to have a supply. At this point the supply is fentanyl which along with opioids has killed just under the same number of US deaths from Covid over the lst two decades. In my opinion I see a connection between addicts and trump fanatics. |

Cohen, who was once former President Trump's personal lawyer before a serious falling out, wrote on Twitter, “Here we go folks!!!” Investigators reportedly searched Giuliani’s apartment on Wednesday as part of an investigation into his dealings with Ukraine.

Subject: RE: Federal, State & local prosecution of Donald Trump From: Charley Noble Date: 04 Apr 21 - 11:21 AM Today's New York Times has a major article on how the Trump Campaign succeeded in outraising the Biden Campaign during the last months of the campaign. What they did is made the default for all donations, including one-time donations, weekly donations! The notice was in very small print. Thousands of small as well as large donors were sucked in. Some donors didn't realize what was happening until their accounts were completely drained. Even though many of the donors were eventually reimbursed, the net result was a loan to the Campaign of over $100 million. Whoopee! |
Subject: RE: Federal, State & local prosecution of Donald Trump From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 04 Apr 21 - 10:36 AM "I hope Trump ends up paying all fees as well ". Rather unlikely. Trump doesn't believe in paying debts, even the small ones.. There was a story the other day from his Golf club in Scotland, about an employee there who was complaining about a round of hamburgers, coming to £85. Trump asked him to pay form and said he'd let him have the cash. He's still waiting, but with no expectation he'll ever be reimbursed. Expecting Trump to pay his debts, big or small is like expecting him to tell the truth. It's just not in the man. |

Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump’s struggling campaign afloat. DONALD TRUMP’S ODDS OF STAYING OUT OF PRISON ARE RAPIDLY DWINDLING The ex-president’s legal troubles are escalating. The last time we checked in on the legal comings and goings of Donald Trump, things were not looking so hot for the former president of the United States. In addition to being the defendant in no fewer than 29 lawsuits, per The Washington Post, he was the subject of numerous criminal investigations, including one in which attorneys had obtained access to his tax returns—documents that for some reason he spent the last four years fighting tooth and nail to keep secret. Now, two and half months after leaving the White House, have Trump‘s legal fortunes miraculously improved? In a word, no. In three words, hell fuck no. In 19 words, the 45th president of the United States should probably just resign himself to the prospect of going to prison. |

Subject: RE: Federal, State & local prosecution of Donald Trump From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Mar 21 - 01:10 PM A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016. Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That’s been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form on Tuesday, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump’s administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset. If you watch MSNBC they replayed a series of interviews after the election about foreign interference and all of the Trump folks (including Barr, who said he "read the intelligence") insisted it was China. Nope. That was Trump's story, and he's sticking to it. But Trump is clearly a Russian tool. |

Terry Gross interviews New Yorker writer Jane Mayer Some interesting items therein. The article is on the New Yorker's website called: "Can Cyrus Vance, Jr., Nail Trump?" Apparently Trump learned from his legal ninja master Roy Cohn not to leave fingerprints. He has no personal email account and apparently does not give direct traceable 'kill' orders (like a proper mafia don or Russian President). And his most accurate observer, his former lawyer Michael Cohen, has issues about his previous testimony, but can accurately describe Trump's methods and motives. My takeaway was that Trump and his kin may eventually face some convictions. Those who know him say Trump will leave the country rather than do time.

Subject: RE: Federal, State & local prosecution of Donald Trump From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Mar 21 - 04:11 PM Can Cyrus Vance, Jr., Nail Trump? The New Yorker offers up a long read about the upcoming Manhattan District Attorney's case/s against Trump. On February 22nd, in an office in White Plains, two lawyers handed over a hard drive to a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, who, along with two investigators, had driven up from New York City in a heavy snowstorm. Although the exchange didn’t look momentous, it set in motion the next phase of one of the most significant legal showdowns in American history. Hours earlier, the Supreme Court had ordered former President Donald Trump to comply with a subpoena for nearly a decade’s worth of private financial records, including his tax returns. The subpoena had been issued by Cyrus Vance, Jr., the Manhattan District Attorney, who is leading the first, and larger, of two known probes into potential criminal misconduct by Trump. The second was opened, last month, by a county prosecutor in Georgia, who is investigating Trump’s efforts to undermine that state’s election results. |
