Former Trump Insiders Predict The Whole Family Is Going Down - Ring of Fire



Three former insiders in the Trump world - Michael Cohen, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, and Jennifer Weisselberg - all predicted this week that the entire family is going down in the investigation taking place in New York. The three told the story of how Allen Weisselberg is connected to everything, and his connections are what tie in all the members of the Trump family to multiple scandals. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

She was able to provide legal documents (from Trump lawyers) for an explosive New York Times exposée right after her uncle became president. And we all know about Trump University, etc. It just boggles the mind that he hasn't faced legal repercussions before. The entire family is averse to paying taxes - Letitia James has an incredible amount to work with and it's long past time the legal system caught up with the entire lot of them.

I would imagine that there would be a massive risk if all of a sudden the prosecutions or arrests were to start to flow. Heavily armed fanatics facing the loss of their king would likely not sit back and it could turn ugly very quickly! If there are prosecutions ahead I think the process will be a long drawn out affair in which revelations are dropped one by one over time. That might help avoid a sudden confrontation. Prosecutions would only come later in that process. We shall see...

I certainly don’t think there’ll be some sudden revelation that will sink him. Maybe death by a thousand cuts. As the legal problems pile up and start causing financial problems his wealthy backers will start abandoning him. The rubes will stick by him to the end but more and more rich and powerful will distance themselves. He’s lost the bully pulpit. I really doubt he’ll ever see prison but I think ultimately he’ll be remembered for what he is. A liar, cheat, and loser. I hope he lives long enough to see that.

Unlike some here, I do think it's at least possible that Chump will be convicted of something or other. It's not impossible that his rat pack of spawn will get swept up in it. If it happens, I won't be surprised.

Either way, I expect things to take a while, and I'm not going to dwell on it or get my hopes up. In the meantime, I will watch with great interest to see what transpires.

I'm listening to Mary Trump's book again (I have it on audio, read by the author, listen to it in my car) and she chronicles all the illegalities that the former guy has perpetrated over the decades. It's amazing that he didn't face charges before, but back then he had "connections" (including banks) and was repeatedly bailed out financially by his father. But this time he stands alone and it's long past time he faced consequences.

The family will end up in the Middle East, and Trump will claim he is the president in exile. That there was a coup in America and they took the election away from him. No extradition in Saudi Arabia
