Watching the Wheels Go Round and Round [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-07-28 By David Glenn Cox As I mentioned the other day, the wheels are beginning to come off the Donald Trump mobile. New charges and new characters. Now remember, as is his habit Trump generally stomps his feet and throws a tantrum for the benefit of his cult, when charged with a crime. Generally mumbling something about a witch hunt and poor, poor pitiful me. This time Trump huddles with his attorneys, this time there is video evidence. And the orange one says what? Trump hears from his attorneys that the FBI is going to subpoena the security tapes from his Mir- a -Lago mausoleum and hideout. Trump contacts Carlos De Oliveira and instructs him to delete the security tapes. De Oliveira tells Mr. Trump: “Me don’t know how.” Now, maybe he didn’t know how. But since he worked in IT, I suspect it was willful ignorance. “Me don’t want to go to jail.” The security tapes would show Trump’s employees moving documents attempting to hide them from the FBI. Trump monkey, Walt Nauta was sent down to the Mira-a-Lago Xanadu to make certain the bosses instructions were carried out. But Nauta also needed plausible deniability. The video shows Mr. De Oliveira walking through the bushes to meet with Nauta on the edge of the property. But the tapes were not deleted and Trump’s communications to De Oliveira and Mr. Nauta are also in the hands of the FBI. 34 count em, 34 charges and the orange one says nothing? But for Trump who is counting? But for Nauta, it looks bad, changing his situation from Trump flunky monkey to willing apple-polishing co-conspirator. Oh, what tangled web we weave when first we practice to hide shit from the FBI. What it does illustrate is that the FBI was playing chess and Trump was playing hopscotch. A sure enough super villain would have thought about the security tapes ahead of time or immediately after words. Yet Trump didn’t think of it until advised by his attorneys that the FBI was coming. Didn’t the tribulations of Richard Nixon teach them anything? Think about this for a minute. The security tapes are from the basement of Mir- a- Lago. What goes on in the basement that requires security tapes? Smoking cigarettes and taking shots perhaps. A mission impossible team would have deleted those tapes and substituted tapes from a month ago. But this isn’t a mission impossible team, is it? The Michigan Republican Party calls a press conference to call the state’s Attorney General a “Thug.” Claiming the prosecution of the 16 phony electors is a political prosecution. They were just honest citizens doing their civic duty. But there is a flaw in the slaw as while doing there civic duty, they signed a document claiming to be the state’s lawful electors. When they weren’t the state’s lawful electors. And they knew they weren’t the lawful electors. One woman broke from the herd, claiming she signed her name on a sign in sheet, and they copied her signature on to the elector paperwork. AKA, fuck you guys! I’m not going to jail. Every man or woman for themselves! I’ve been duped by a bunch of political sharpies! But my favorite alibi so far is one of the phony Arizona electors who claims it is a question of free speech. He did nothing wrong; he had a First Amendment right to write or say anything he likes. “Take all the money and put it in a bag, and nobody gets hurt” First Amendment. Back in Michigan, the GOP has set up a “Don’t let them send us to prison” go fund me campaign, good luck with that fellas. You know you’re on your back foot when. But I have a problem with midnight baptisms. Michael Cohen was Donald Trump’s dirty tricks attorney who wrote threatening letters to anyone running afoul of Donald Trump. The guy who is gonna sue you until the dogs don’t want what’s left of your miserable carcass! Then he becomes the nice smiling guy on television dishing out dirt on everybody. So, I hesitated to watch the Lev Parnas video on YouTube. Parnas was Rudy Giuliani’s flunky monkey, but the video is well worth a watch. Because it illustrates just how these guys were operating behind the scenes. Rudy had this funny habit of asking everyone for 200,000 dollars. “Rudy could pass the salt?” Sure, for $200,000. Parnas was sent to Ukraine to nail down digging up dirt on the Biden’s But there was no dirt. But there could be if there was a quid pro quo. Then it became clear that Zelensky was going to win the election. And it was made clear to Zelensky that if he wanted continued aid from the US, he’d better start digging up information on the Bidens. When Zelensky didn’t come across with the dirt, Mike Pence was pulled from attending Zelensky’s swearing in and Rick Perry was substituted at the last minute. Not that there wasn’t dirt to be had as Hunter Biden liked to Party hard. But when you listen to Parnas, tell his amazing tale. Young Hunter comes across as a doofus among a pack of voracious wolves. The wheels are coming off the Trump mobile. As Republicans in the house scream, “Impeach Joe Biden!” And Biden responds, “Go for it!” Chris Christie warns Mark Meadows refusal to speak publicly about January 6th sounds like someone singing like a canary to the Grand Jury. Those dirty rats are beginning to worry about what the other dirty rats might be up too. Squeaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy claims he made no deal with Trump after angering his orangeness with his comments on Fox News. McCarthy claims there was no deal to expunge Trump’s impeachments. Despite Kevin’s efforts to expunge Trump’s impeachments. The skies are darkening and there is a storm coming. It looks bad in the documents case and looks even worse in the Georgia investigation. And the phony electors’ plot points to a criminal conspiracy. Richard Nixon was a jaywalking scofflaw, and Al Capone was a mere tax cheat. When the history is finally written Trump will be remembered as an abomination. And you ain’t seen nothing yet! This is still just the preliminaries! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mySw2-N0wZY [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/7/28/2183815/-Watching-the-Wheels-Go-Round-and-Round Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
