The Political Weather Forecast. A Monsoon Of Indictments?

Tonight’s forecast. Dark. Continued dark through the night followed by widely scattered light in the morning   Al Sleet the hippy-dippy weatherman   George Carlin

The political storm clouds are gathering and darkening. If you were sitting here right now, I’m rubbing my hands together so hard and fast you could smell the bacon grease frying. The wait is almost over.

My personal prediction is that Jack Smith will be holding a press conference sometime in the next 14 days to announce multiple criminal indictments against Donald John Trump in the Mar-A-Lago documents case. For a simple reason. Further delay is becoming untenable.

For the first time, there is a steady, almost daily trickle of leaks from the investigation about documentary and witness testimony to the grand jury. Trump is shedding lawyers like dandruff, and they’re going on television to snipe at each other and bitch about Trump. Smith needs to wrap this up and refocus the attention where it belongs, before the public begins to look at the whole thing as a freak show joke. Therefore, indictments, and more than one of them.

On deck is Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. She has already tipped her mitts in a letter to the chief judge and the county sheriff that she is having most of her staff work from home, and is asking for additional security for the courthouse for the weeks of August 7-14. She is hinting at multiple indictments, and by predicting possible civil unrest, she is basically telegraphing the fact that Traitor Tot will go down.

But reporting shows that Willis has expanded her investigation to include state RICO charges. Reporting today showed that she was requesting relevant documents and information from other states regarding Trump’s fake elector scheme. And while Willis can’t actually prosecute people across state lines, she can use that criminal activity to establish a pattern of conduct against Georgia defendants.

Which leads us to the eye of the monsoon. In the onrush of current events, you probably haven’t even thought about this in almost two years, but it was hot sh*t at the time. But in the reporting today on Willis expanding her investigation outside of Georgia borders, it brought it all rushing back to me.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, the Trump campaign disputed the election results in six states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia. It was pathetic. FrankenTrump went something like 1-64 in state and federal courts.

But in the middle of all of this sturm und drang, the news broke that there was an organized GOP effort, including Trump allies like Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn to have state legislatures create alternate slates of fake electors. The Ghoul Man got caught on tape pimping the idea at a legislative meeting in Georgia, and Epshteyn admitted pushing the scheme over the phone on Ari Melber’s show on MSNBC.

But here’s the part nobody seems to remember. Once those allegations were aired, the DOJ was quick to announce that they were officially investigating the allegations. The applicable state US Attorneys got their marching orders, and told to make it a priority. And that’s the last anybody heard about it, and other matters intruded.

Here’s how I see it. I can’t find any way to believe that this issue is relevant to either one of Jack Smith’s Special Counsel investigations. They aren’t related to the stolen documents, and aren’t directly related to the Capitol riot. So Smith is out.

Which means one of two things. Either the individual investigations and possible prosecutions are being handled by the individual US Attorney’s for those states. And since the garland DOJ does things the old fashioned way, under radio silence, nobody has the vaguest idea of whether these investigations have been resolved and closed, or if they’re still steaming full-speed- ahead. But I have my suspicions.

The second option is this. The six US Attorneys started conducting their investigations, found flames behind the smoke, and reported back to main Justice. Main Justice looked at this plate of spaghetti, matched the strands up, and assigned one main Justice attorney to coordinate all of the investigations. Which under the Garland DOJ, we probably wouldn’t hear about either, and why should we?

Here’s why I strongly believe we’ll eventually see a blizzard of federal indictments, either as massive federal RICO case out of Washington, or a slew of indictments coming out of the individual states is simple. That reason is that anyone who believes a word that El Pendejo Presidente says is a certified imbecile!

And as I learned at the time, it is a federal crime to intentionally fabricate or misstate information on a document that will be filed with the federal government. And since the only reason for a single one of those mental midgets to sign those alternate elector forms was to submit them to the National Archives, as well as the United States House of Representatives. And if my memory serves me correctly, that’s punishable by a mondo fine and a maximum of 10 years in the diaper pail. And if they can tie in idiots like Giuliani and Epshteyn, now you’re looking at criminal conspiracy for them.

For obvious reasons, the main attention of both the national media as well as the general public has been on the Cheeto Prophet and the other known names of the Trump circle. But you’ve now been warned. If, at some time after this initial flurry of high profile indictments, you start hearing about either one umbrella federal prosecution, or individual state federal prosecutions tied to the fake elector scheme, you’ll know what’s going on.
