a bird wouldn’t get caught if they didn’t open their mouth!”
We all understand the need to talk but some folk simply talk too much or talk themselves into trouble!
Today Donald Trump faced the music in front of Judge Engoron who last week found him guilty of fraud. Seated in the prosecution’s section and on the first row was one of Trump’s nemeses who has become a thorn in his butt, State Attorney Leticia James.
Most people who have basic common sense have known for too long that Trump is a master hustler or as the judge recently ruled a fraudster. His bluster is laughable, yet it gives pause because so many fall for it, including forking over to him their hard-earned cash. For years, he has crafted a persona of being uber-wealthy and one of the most successful businesspeople of all time. Many who knew better or should have known better couldn’t help themselves into believing Trump was all who he stated he was. Even the skeptics in this group have been caught in the buzz ever since he zipped down to escalator and announced his run for presidency. They feverishly wanted to believe everything Trump said despite the warnings that were right in their face. I only hire the best! I can wrap this deal up in minutes! I will show you how to put together a successful operation! On and on. Many figured….umm, why not, let’s give the lad some breathing room and see what he can deliver! After all, he looks the part.
Of all the bonehead mistakes Trump has brought on himself, one will go down as historic: turning against his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen. It seems like years ago, as during his presidency Trump knew he was untouchable. He was the king, and nobody dared cross him. That is why the 2020 presidential election was so important. Those with common sense, knew if he did not have the presidency to shield him from all his illegal activity, understood the years 2021, 2022, 2023 and beyond would result in payback or the law catching up with him. So, as of this article he has historically achieved 91 charges and a host of other legal pitfalls.
Once Trump convinced Bill Barr to be his pseudo attorney and go after Michael Cohen, that may go down as the beginning to the end. Indeed, Barr through his role as the head justice official of the United States brought charges against Cohen resulting in his incarceration. Many in Trump’s orbit paid very little credibility to one of Cohen’s last acts as a public citizen on his way to the brig. On February 27, 2019 Former Congressman Elijah Cummings, who has sense passed, held a hearing where Cohen communicated to the House of Representative’s – House Oversight Committee Trump’s fraudulent behavior. Many knew of his behavior, but this was the first time a senior official in Trump’s organization gave up the gig and spilled the beans, in detail.
It was that hearing where some thought folk were sleeping, but Leticia James was taking copious notes. Her result was the ensuing charges and eventual guilty plea announced by Judge Engoron. Who knows what will happen to Donald Trump? Some, assume his basic strategy is to keep running for political office so he can continue to grift from those who support him as well as use his position as an excuse preventing actions against him because he is a viable candidate. More to follow……stay tuned.
