Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Conversely, if you had the mystical power Trump and Giuliani have—by analogy, the power to commit, say, an Armed Robbery and convince federal prosecutors to investigate it as an Embezzlement case—you would never be charged with anything ever. Which is basically Trump’s situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

In any case, the important thing to understand—as this is true in the Giuliani case and has been true in every case so far in which Donald Trump has been investigated by federal prosecutors—is that if *you* did what Trump and Giuliani did in 2019, you would already be in prison. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

It seems to me that the first thing every federal prosecutor does when investigating Trump is take out a loaded pistol, point it downward, and shoot themselves cleanly through the foot. They decide up front that Trump is above the law, and it makes their investigations pointless. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So the Giuliani case was doomed from the start because prosecutors had decided that Donald Trump *could not possibly be seen as a co-defendant*. Once again, Trump is treated better than any American under the law, resulting in his and Giuliani’s Bribery offenses going unpunished. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Remember that the Giuliani investigation began while Trump was president, at a time when Trump *couldn’t*—per DOJ-OLP—be indicted, and when any thought of investigating him had been nixed because it was felt that the proper response to his crimes was impeachment (which happened). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

It’s this apparently deliberate misunderstanding by federal prosecutors that underscores exactly why Giuliani got off: prosecutors *began their case* by taking Trump out of the equation, which made a Bribery investigation impossible. They were left looking at Giuliani for FARA. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

When Giuliani directly and through agents—some clients of his, others fellow Trump lawyers—acts to arrange a quid pro quo for Trump with Kremlin agents, he doesn’t need to get money *out of that deal itself*. His compensation comes from remaining in lucrative proximity to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

When you don’t do that, you end up with a NYT report that is at various points *laugh out loud funny* at how credulously it accepts preposterous self-exculpations from known criminals and thoroughly misunderstands literally everything about the Trump-Giuliani relationship. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

If someone in power wants to make the case that the Bribery statute has been neutered in the political realm by convention, court precedent, and cowardice, fine, make that case—but do so while *underscoring* that *any layperson* would see Trump and Giuliani’s actions as Bribery. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The idea that Trump clearly sought a quid pro quo with agents of the Kremlin to steal the 2020 presidential election but that what was investigated instead was whether Giuliani failed to *register properly* as an agent of the Ukrainian government is so *stupid* it’s almost funny. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I’ve often written that nearly all Trump’s political crimes are Bribery. Yet somehow his crimes are never investigated that way. It’s stunning and inexplicable and seems to be little more than a ploy for prosecutors to throw up their hands and avoid ever holding Trump to account. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

When you investigate Bribery as though what’s at issue is whether Giuliani was *lobbying for a foreign government*—(what?)—you’ve insured that your investigation will go nowhere from the start. All Rudy had to say was that he was working on Trump’s behalf and he was in the clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And despite all the evidence that that Ukrainian criminal worked with other Ukrainian criminals tied to the Kremlin to try to pass fake dirt on Biden to Trump and his lawyer, Manhattan prosecutors inexplicably accepted that criminal’s denial that he ever did so. Just jawdropping. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

That’s right: a Ukrainian criminal linked to the Kremlin and the Russian mafia who was in the midst of lobbying the Trump administration not to extradite him to the United States “accidentally” paid tens of thousands to Trump’s lawyer and Manhattan prosecutors *bought that lie*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The exchange was simple: fake dirt on Biden for legal and political aid to Ukrainian oligarchs tied to the Kremlin and the Russian mafia. Both sides got tangible value and money even changed hands, but Manhattan prosecutors bought the notion that it was—wait for it!—“accidental.” — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

A clear-cut Bribery case investigated, inexplicably, as a FARA case—leading to Giuliani getting off scot-free. We’ve seen this before; the Russia scandal was a Bribery case inexplicably approached as a FARA case, resulting in Trump getting off scot-free. https://t.co/yRRRL5skcQ — PolitiTweet.org

Federal witnesses and whistleblowers must be protected from financial, professional or physical threats resulting from testimony or disclosures. This isn’t about politicians facing consequences for their votes—this is about Trump delivering vengeance for conduct protected by law. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So it’s adorable how major media reports on the Bowers loss as nothing more than Trump flexing his political muscle in a way that makes him look powerful and influential. No. He’s a criminal. Kelli Ward is a criminal. And Bowers was forced out of his job via a criminal scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Bowers was sanctioned by the Arizona Republican Party—which is run by one of Trump’s criminal co-conspirators (a “fake elector”)—explicitly because he honored his oath of office, honored a federal subpoena, and refused to commit crimes for Trump. Kelli Ward should be *indicted*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Americans must understand that when Trumpist Republicans identify someone as a federal witness acting counter to Donald Trump’s wishes, they’ll resort to anything from death threats to bribes to lawsuits to acts of political coercion to discredit, destroy or dissuade the witness. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The Arizona GOP declared Bowers a Republican “not in good standing” prior to his primary, which in past epochs of American history would be considered a criminal attempt to intimidate or bribe a man who remains a federal witness. Instead, DOJ lets Trumpists tamper with witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org
