A nutty week by any standards. But I want to call attention to what @realDonaldTrump is really aiming for. It’s not a distraction, it’s not to motivate his base, it’s not based on anything other than fear. 1/3

The orange perp knows that what awaits him in 39 days is a resounding electoral defeat. Yes, his cronies may pardon him on federal level but his bigger issue is w/ the distinguished Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance whose team has sniffed out this Trump family scam. 2/3

They are ready to pounce. Everything Trump thinks/breathes everyday is aimed at 1 thing, staying out of jail. He wants leverage to get a pardon from @NYGovCuomo before he will leave 1600 Penn. Prison won’t suit him or family well and his survival instinct has kicked in. 3/3

1. And what leverage, exactly, does he have to make Cuomo do anything?

2. There's also the NY state AG waiting in line for him and family too about his charity...

slush fund, among other things.

3. Lock him up. And, Ivanka too.

4. I think The Gov. would...

Not want to get in the way of justice since the don has been insulting him for decades and besides, he deserves what's coming to him whether prison suits him or not. I mean, fuck that guy.
