Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison Tuesday for his role in the insurrection, as leader of the Proud Boys. A few hours later, Donald Trump went into an all-caps meltdown on Truth Social, wherein he said the January 6 Committee had “criminally destroyed” evidence which he needed to prove his innocence during the Insurrection. Maybe those two events had nothing to do with one another, and it was just coincidence, but I don’t think so. When Trump blasts off on his social media platform, it’s because he’s triggered. Tarrio’s sentence triggered Trump.
Lawrence O’Donnell had a few experts on his show, Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissmann, who kicked in their two cents worth.
You’ve seen enough mob movies to know how this works: First, the small fry get nailed, then the barracudas are brought in and some of them decide to flip and eventually expose the killer shark. We’ve seen that take place in Trump world. As each trial takes place, and each indictment is handed up, the closer to the Mango Mob Boss the law gets.
Right now Jack Smith is playing Eliot Ness to Trump’s Al Capone. Capone and his 68 co-conspirators were charged with over 5,000 different violations of the Volstead Act and eventually Capone went to prison for income tax fraud, but to prison he did go. The long arm of the law finally caught him. His crime spree was brought to an end.
Trump refers to his legal problems as “The Final Battle” and they are for him, certainly. But he frames it America’s final battle, where some vision of Donald Trump’s will either be imposed upon the nation or the nation will perish. “You won’t have a country left.”
He hasn’t come out and said the words “L’etat c’est moi,” because that’s too over his head, but in essence that’s what he’s saying. If he’s in power, all is well, because he “alone can do it.” And the only thing that he alone can do is perform a self-pardon — if indeed that’s possible to do. It certainly goes against all common sense, to have a defendant pardon himself but maybe that’s possible.
That’s what Trump is banking on, in all events. He needs to win and pardon himself and take revenge. That’s the game plan. And write some more love letters to Kim Jong-Un and give Vladimir Putin Ukraine, if that’s what he wants. Donald would like to help Vladimir make Russia great again, just like he’s always talked about.
One thing Trump really needs to get in focus, though, as he moves on to this next phase of his life, The Final Battle, is whether he’s decided Joe Biden is a senile old man ready to collapse at any moment or a criminal mastermind of Bondian proportions. He keeps flip flopping on that and that is key.
Projection is the right word. Trump’s middle initial should be “P” because projection defines him more than any other word.

Up until Enrique Tarrio’s medicine was administered, those that were in line before him got milder doses medicine. Those post Enrique Tarrio who are in line for their medicine muse be, by now, both terrified and petrified of the strength of their medicine, cause it’s sure to be given in a larger dose. Such medicine will be administered as individual punishment and as a general deterrent. Wonder whose ‘coughing in their rompers’ now, hmmmm Donald?
What’s that music I hear? Sounds like a piggy squealing on his way to the Chicago stockyard…er…prison yard…more squealing to come!!! Once papapig starts…the piglets will join in.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy. And he is young enough that he will be old when he gets out.
22 years,for Donnie Donuts will kill him. He will not survive in prison. He cannot pardon himself for the indictments Fani Willis has brought. GA jails aren’t like Club Feds. He should be found guilty on a feceral.charge because it will be easier for Secret Service to.protect him. Eglin houses them in old E dorms. Two bedroom suites with a joint bath. He can serve his sentence with Eastman or Giuliani. Secret Service can close off suites on all sides. Willis can have him.serve his state sentence after.
And that is proof that what goes around, sometimes comes around.
Secret Service protection should NOT extend to prison.
We don’t know if it actually will. It was never expected to have an ex-president become a convicted felon.
For a cupcake like Trump if he actually gets say five years he would very likely die in prison. Also, I see all these armchair quarterbacks that are coming up with all these crazy a$$ theories about Trump not going to jail. First and foremost, If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. Trump is a career criminal that finally got caught. That’s the beauty of the New York fraud case. It’s going to lay it out there that our lord and master, yeah right. But that already shows the guy is a common criminal. He’s also been proven to be a rapist. Now if Alvin will put down the newspaper he’s reading in the loo, and pick up Trumps trial we got Al Capone all over again. Just in case anyone missed it. He’s facing a fifth indictment in Arizona. Lady Attorney General there has a list she’s presently writing up the charges on. Now one or two and maybe even if you stretch it the first four. But all this is adding up and you are going to see Trump in court, go on trial, get convicted and then you run into the wall of special treatment. Now first and maybe second you could see some home confinement bullsh*t but you have four cases and I’m betting at least probably two maybe three more. He will end up in jail for one simple reason in the end. Nobody is above the law.
