Lock him up!

President Trump showed his true colors when he used the term “rat” when talking about Michael Cohen. A “rat” is what a mob boss calls a person who exposes evidence of various crimes.

Craig Unger’s July 13, 2017, article in the New Republic (“Trump’s Russian Laundromat”) shows how the Trump Tower and other luxury high-rises were used to clean dirty money, run an international crime syndicate, and propel a failed real estate developer with four Chapter 11 bankruptcies into the White House.

There are dark clouds on the horizon for Trump. The Wired magazine Dec. 17 article outlined “A Complete Guide to All 17 (Known) Trump and Russia Investigations.”

A suit filed in Manhattan federal court alleges that Trump misled salespeople who lost money in the ACN multilevel marketing company. Trump and his family members are accused of misleading and deceptive business practices. The suit asks for triple damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

Pence pardoning Trump for federal crimes won’t protect him from criminal charges in the state of New York. Picture Trump in an orange jumpsuit at the New York version of Club Fed. Lock him up!
