TFG: “No quid pro quo.”

DOJ: Times reported that Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, informed Short that Trump was withholding transition funds for Pence that could be used to establish a post-White House office.

Just like TFG’s perfect call to Zelensky of Ukraine: “I’d like you to do me a favor though…” TFG is the epitome of a career criminal.

In other words, “Hang Mike Pence” wasn’t an original idea.

Illustrates perfectly the criminal mind off TFDG. How to pressure someone into knuckling under.

Separately, Pence reportedly received a memo from the Trump aide and noted football trickshot artist John McEntee with the text, “JEFFERSON USED HIS POSITION AS VP TO WIN.”

Has anyone else noticed that Pence hasn’t run to the J6 committee with all this information?

Sucker!!
Trump officials ridiculed ‘easy mark’ Susan Collins as they tricked her into backing Kavanaugh: report (msn.com)

According to a report from Rolling Stone, officials in Donald Trump’s administrationconned Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) into voting for current Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh while ridiculing her at the same time for being easy to manipulate with one going so far as to crassly mock her as a “cheap date.”

When faced with an electoral ballot that didn’t include all the constitutionally required signatures and whatnot, but which clearly did represent the votes of that state’s duly appointed electors, both in reality and as in all public reporting following the presidential election that resulted in their appointment, Jefferson permitted the ballot to be counted without objection from anyone involved. This was the same as he had advocated in the previous presidential election when another state’s electoral ballot return was iffy but it still reflected the will of that state’s voters, thereby handing the election to his opponent.

And almost everyone else on the VP’s staff. His attorney, everyone.

Or as TFG also said: “No pro quo.”

Gee, proving Trump’s criminal intent is going to be difficult.

That “gallows” was a prop, nothing more. All you’d have to do to defeat the shoddy noose is sit down.
