Stunning lengthy detailed twitter thread on Trump's mob connections and corruptions

[Grasswire2]

I knew it was bad. But this is a whole new level of grime and criminality.

Post after post after post.

Break this out into public awareness as you can. We all likely know about the first few, but it goes on and on.

2. Growing up in NJ it was common knowledge by the mid 80s

that Trump was in with the russian mob. Wish the press would have taken this up while he was running.

5. I wish they had too but they chose the ratings remember?

Morning Schmoe had trump on all the time and fed him softball questions so he'd keep coming back.

3. I have posted about trump's helicopter pilot. Its worse than him just owning condos in trump tower

Very detailed article from 2016 about trumps relationship with drug trafficking pilot.

The Drug Trafficker Donald Trump Risked His Casino Empire to Protect

Trump presents himself as the most ardent law-and-order politician ever. Yet throughout his adult life Trump sought out—and worked closely with—more than a score of criminals, including Mafia associates, Russian mob associates, violent felons, con artists, swindlers, and most significant of all, the embezzler and mob associate Joseph Weichselbaum, a thrice-convicted felon.

SNIP------


When Weichselbaum got caught, his case was handled in a most unusual way, with both Donald Trump and one of his siblings in starring roles.

SNIP--------------------
Instead the case somehow ended up in New Jersey—and in not just any courtroom, either. It came before Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, Trump’s older sister.
After three weeks Judge Barry recused herself, explaining to the chief judge that her husband, Trump casino lawyer John Barry, and she had flown in the helicopters of a confessed drug trafficker.--
-----------------------------------------------
When New Jersey gaming regulators first asked Trump about this letter he denied writing it. When they came back with a copy of the letter, Trump said under oath that his signature was on the page. What else he may have been asked is unknown because the New Jersey Attorney General’s Division of Gaming Enforcement’s report did not indicate that Trump was asked the obvious questions:
What prompted you to write the letter knowing you could lose your casino license over it?

See when trump said Mexicans were bringing in drugs and crime.. We know it was racist. But even moreso when he had no problem with actual criminals that trafficked drugs - In. fact begging for mercy, but he was right skin color of course

10. Thom Hartmann's column the other day talked about how the word CORRUPTION..

...is the most powerful word that Dems can use right now. Citizens understand it, and they generally hate it in any politician.

He says that every Dem who has a platform needs to continually apply that word in messaging.

Hammer it home.

12. Thom Hartmann helped Trump win in 2016.

I'm not interested in what he might have figured out in the meantime that most sentient beings understood well before 2016.

If you're reading this, Thom, take it to heart. Do better.

[Grasswire2]

15. seems to me he's doing just fine.

Bitterness over 2016 ain't helping us now.

Be like Hillary.

[Hortensis]

13. Are you sure Russia Thom isn't corruption himself? Still? Subverting voters

to benefit Russia or whatever he chooses to serve now? He's worked as a known Russian asset, and the Democratic Party is their big enemy in the U.S.

Remember the enormous losses of 2016 because they're still happening. Ongoing. Russia's determination to destroy the prosperous, powerful, free U.S. we all grew up in hasn't changed. And no matter what he seems to be peddling today to get people to open their minds to him, Hartmann's who he always was.

11. Remember the movie "The Devil's Advocate" where all the devil's henchpeople lived

in a swanky NYC apartment building together, and Al Pacino as Satan lived in the penthouse?

That's how I always pictured the former guy's building. Only, of course, Al Pacino's was decorated tastefully and the former guy's is a cheap and ugly thing.

14. I'm looking forward to the definitive Trump biography

Historians will have a field day.

16. It's gonna have to be a multi-volume set.
