First Powell, Now Chesebro
Trump writ twit Kenneth Chesebro just flipped as the circle of Trump’s gate keepers starts falling like dominoes downhill on an ice slick.
The plea deal is another major victory for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who charged Trump and 18 others in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Thursday, former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell also pleaded guilty.
Trump is looking for counties with no extradition treaties with the US and a hot secret document market.
Alex Jones got kicked, too.
The mills of the gods grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding fine.
I first encountered that line in Schiller’s Nathan the Wise over 50 years ago, and the idea was a thousand years old whe Schiller stole it in the 18th century.
1Wonder what other codefendents have trials scheduled to start soon because they’ll be the next to flip. Ooh- this is getting juicy.
2Rudy’s probably looking forward to free housing, given his financial woes…
I’m still amazed at the number of people who Trump successfully talks into committing crimes, even after seeing how many of Trump’s other minions ended up in jail. One would think they’d figure out that when Trump does a crime, his minions do the time.
3Jordan goes down again with even less support. Thats not really as good as it sounds. He still got way more votes (194) than a moral conscience should generate. That any other than the Freedumb Caucus would vote for him is an indictment of cowardice.
4The sweetest sound – –
5The click click of the first two dominos falling…
Right before it becomes the sound of a house of cards tumbling down.
Have been following the circus on TV. My, how the R’s are way so unhappy!!It looks for all the world as if Hakeem Jeffries just might be the first House Speaker of color. What the bleep did the R’s think would happen when they decided to kick out a speaker on someone’s unhappy vote and they had no backup standing in line! And Jordan is just so odoriferous. Tells you a lot about their collective IQ.
6Chese and Kraken?
I think I’d rather have the popcorn.
7Seeing how things are going in the NSGOP, I’m starting to think that maybe the lizard people really are in charge…
8Two down and 16 to go before the Orange Defendant stands alone. I’m sure Ms. Willis is glad that she doesn’t have to do two trials instead of one.
I wonder how long it will take the Rs to realize that working with the Ds isn’t the worst idea in the world.

Gym Jordan is the Ted Cruz of the House.
10The judicial hits just keep on comin’…

Bankruptcy protection does not shield his money from judgments due to malicious and willful behavior.
Bad day for bad guys. The expression on Alex Jones’ face is worth a billion bucks. You got him good, Mark Bankston!

I watched that recital and I could only think, TFG will be there soon.
13Only 20 countries do not have extradition treaties with the US. Of the 3 he could endure living in, Switzerland is too expensive for him and Russia and China really don’t want him without his classified documents
14Some days perspective bitch slaps you, some days it’s a sweet kiss.
To receive the pictures of US citizen hostages released into Israeli custody, and compare that revelation to the attempts at petite despotism (by Gym and the MAGAts), and the initial courtroom confirmation of the treasonous acts of TFG leaves GOP perfidy relatively unimportant. Except that the necessities of pragmatism are often cruel; Uprooting Hamas may take hundreds of hostage lives, as well as thousands of Palestinian and Israeli lives. And yet MAGAts want to lead our country into the despotic rule of theocrats and fascistic partisans, and we are responsible for defeating them. Now is the time to be grateful, but resolute.
15Old Fart, well said.
16As a lawyer, I just want those lawyers disbarred. I don’t care about jail or fines or probation, but I want them disbarred.
17Now The Blivet is claiming she was never his attorney.
18Jenna Ellis just pleaded guilty. The flying monkeys are all bailing.
19And she strongly threw Giuliani under the bus basically calling him a criminal. Will be interesting if he flips next blaming trumpf for everything. Might be his only play to stay out of jail. The dominos are falling donnie.
20Countries that don’t extradite to the USA: that includes Switzerland (Switzerland! Who knew?) among a bunch of undesirables.
21Jere: Some countries that don’t have capital punishment refuse to extradite criminals who might be subjected to it. But in those cases they generally will go along if the US promises not to threaten or use execution. Maybe that’s what Switzerland is about? In any case, I think most of us here would like to see him in prison orange, eating only Nutriloaf, and only allowed to hike around a prison yard one hour a day.
An execution may be more suitable, but that pleasure would only last for a few days.
Oh, I forgot about the Great Artist exemption (e.g., Roman Polanski) that apparently applies in Switzerland and France.
