Today's Tiedrich rant: what kind of kompromat is Donald Trump holding over the GOP?



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/what-kind-of-kompromat-is-donald

to be a Republican in good standing these days means you have to believe that God-Emperor on Earth, Little Donny Fuckface, is a very special boy who should be allowed to get away with all the crimes.

note that they’re not saying Donny didn’t crime — no, everyone knows he’s guilty as fuck. not one Republican has ever testified under oath that Donny is innocent. what they’re saying is that Donny should be allowed to do as many crimes as he wants, and there should never be any consequences. in fact, Congressional Republicans are working right now on legislation to codify this into law.

Trump is reaching out to Republicans in Congress and urging them to pass legislation to make it essentially impossible for local district attorneys and state attorneys general to prosecute him in court. The bill is called the “Stop Political Prosecutions Act,” and would shield all former presidents from all non-federal prosecutions by allowing a president to move local and state cases to federal court.


Donny is counting on being re-elected stealing the next election and using the powers of the presidency to make all federal prosecutions of him go fuckity-bye.



just one phone call from Donny to Attorney General Stephen Miller, and that pesky classified documents trial being presided over by future Supreme Court Justice Aileen Cannon will go straight into the permanent shitcan. and Jack Smith can kiss his DC insurrection case goodbye.

Great rant by Tiedrich today. These Repukes want to pass a law to make Chump untouchable by any prosecutors (state or federal), whether he's in the White House or out. No ... this can never happen!

Hindenburg made illicit property purchases. (Got that from George Seldes.)

No kompromat required, although there are a few individuals that have done suspicious 180s.

Trump just tapped into their corruption and helped accelerate it a bit.

Bribes, threats, promises.

Also some of the GOP are not really defending Trump. They are defending themselves
because they are guilty of numerous crimes and need Trump's protection.

What would get him so upset he would do that? There were rumors at the time some of tfg’s staff was requesting a lot of files. Did they find anything on him? Nunez was about ready to explode the next day.

I wouldn’t doubt if stuff had been coped at that time and he may still have it. Along with any dirt from Russia.

... and turned it over to Putin. Could that be true? I don't know. Maybe Epstein used the kompromat himself and collected his own blackmail. It would explain his wealth that Uncle Sam couldn't trace or collect taxes on.

Two days after Epstein died under questionable circumstances, FBI agents inspected his island house in the Virgin Islands. If they found something, we'll probably never know. (Bill Barr was not in charge of the raid BTW.)

They get in line.

Add to that the Moscow July 4 trip.
TFG has been laundering Russian money for decades, so the Russian mob, often exKGB, likely had dirt on lots of Congress critters with their hands in the cookie jar or with lifestyle choices that are antithetical to their political stance.
