“What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” The federal court proceedings could carefully pull apart the tangled web of deceit emanating from the highest levels of the Trump administration. Watergate was just a break-in.
Next up in court is the administration’s response, signed and sworn, so they have to be VERY careful. If their response does not settle the matter, the federal court likely appoints a special master/special counsel to dig into the facts and report back.
If this was schemed up via a “fraud on the court” (now the subject of a federal judicial inquiry), that fraud on the court is complete, and dumpstering the slush fund and tax amnesty doesn’t make that fraud go away, any more than returning the jewels makes a robbery go away.
Even if crooked Trumpsters try to weasel their way back out of their rotten ‘cop-beaters slush fund’ deal, they still have to deal with the equally rotten Trump family business-and-personal tax/crimes amnesty. This ain’t over until ALL of it goes away. But wait, there’s more!
$800 MILLION. That's how much more Americans are paying every day on gas thanks to Trump's war with Iran. But guess who's getting richer? Chevron CEO: +$104M ConocoPhillips CEO: +$54M Baker Hughes CEO: +$33M The same Big Oil executives Trump promised to deliver for on day one.
If, as fired MAGA AG Pam Bondi testified to the House, “since day one…this Department has been committed to accountability and transparency,” maybe they could start by getting that weasel Patel to finally disclose his own grand jury testimony under Fifth Amendment immunity!
If you’re interested, here is the judge’s actual order requiring a response from the Trump lawyers. It’s terse and calm, but it’s telling. Should send a shiver down their spines . . . that is, if you can be a Trump lawyer and still have a spine.
