Trump and Pecker decided in 2015 to commit crimes with the single purpose of getting Trump elected president. These crimes define theft. And no question, they and their Republican partners stole that election.
It doesn’t matter that the Republicans are having their convention in Milwaukee come July 15 — 18. Or that Mr. Walking Dead owns their nomination based on delegate count and winning primaries. Plain fact, here, is that Trump has been dead since April 4th, 2023, when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. announced the indictment of DONALD J. TRUMP, then 76, for falsifying records in service of his conspiracy with David Pecker to pervert the 2016 presidential election.
The smell, the stench from Trump’s rot has become overwhelming.
Let’s look at the structure of prior prosecutions — Allen Weisselberg for openers. Those trials reflected cover-ups and tax frauds related to three bribery events. Two women were paid to suppress information about extramarital sex and one Trump Tower doorman related to a Trump bastard. $130,000, $150,000, and $30,000 respectively:
— Stephanie Clifford (a.k.a. “Stormy Daniels”)
— Karen McDougal
— Dino Sajudin
The paths for these payments originated with Michael Cohen, Esq., or once with David Pecker.
What the payments bought were Catch-And-Kill deals between the three principals and American Media Inc (now A360 Media, LLC) on behalf of AMI’s National Enquirer tabloid publication. Former Publisher David Pecker was the critical co-conspirator. Now testifying as a cooperating witness.
In addition, National Enquirer was used to promulgate false stories about Trump’s rivals. Based on Pecker’s testimony yesterday, the widest circulation went to a false tale that Ted Cruz’s father had been involved in the 1963 John F. Kennedy assassination. Selling this story included manufacturing a fake photograph that inserted Cruz’s fathers likeness into a photo from Dallas in 1963.
Similar lies were constructed to attack Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio.
The worst of it was a relentless campaign that demonized Mrs. Clinton’s incoming emails. The server, itself, managed the emails for Bill Clinton and for Mrs. Clinton. It was located at a high security banking industry server farm in Pennsylvania.
You would never know any of that from National Enquirer coverage.
Instead you would be fed lie after lie after lie. And with approx 300,000 other readers in 2016, you would likely get sucked down the rabbit hole into hating Hillary.
So, let’s crank our Time Machine back to November of 2016. Trump has been spared utter destruction related to the Access Hollywood tape combined with Clifford, McDougal, and Sajudin. Trump keeps easily a million votes from GOP Christians who would have stayed home if they had known what he was up to. And Hillary was damaged by malicious libels out of AMI that were echoed in the NY Times, WSJ, and a majority of otherwise upright, respectable publications.
These Trump/Pecker schemes moved literally millions of votes. Stealing the White House and then stealing three seats on SCOTUS right out from under our noses. Their illegal election manipulations worked. We should also note the existence of covalent bonds linking these schemes with James Comey, V.V. Putin, Julian Assange and Wikileaks, and Marjo-gory Taylor Greene.
All we can say now is that Trump smells. His attorneys can barely stand to sit in the courtroom next to him. That’s how it works when you’ve been dead for a whole year.
P.S. Don’t be too surprised when Allen Weisselberg gets rolled out as a rebuttal witness at the end of the current trial. He knows where bodies are buried. And which witnesses, purporting to be living humans, are really not so living after all.
