BREAKING NEWS: Early signs suggest that Trump’s Monday night bond filing *may* have again misled the court. It says Hankey now has a security interest of $175M in “DJT Trust”—but Hankey’s Axos Bank *already* has a $100M interest in DJT Trust. Is Trump double-dipping? @KatiePhang

1/ Some wondered why Trump went to Hankey’s Knight rather than Hankey’s Axos. It certainly *could* be to swindle the court into thinking him having $175M secured with Hankey is sufficient, when it fact he likely needs at least *$275M* in that Trust to not be misleading the court.

2/ And this is early research—Axos has lent to Trump multiple times, so we’ve no idea how many times he’s used DJT Trust as liquid collateral (including any double-dipping). We *do* know Trump has Bud Light stock in the Trust, which is why he now opposes his MAGAs’ boycott of it.

Everyone knows the criminal trial on 34 felonies Trump begins on Monday is about him committing serious crimes to try to steal the 2016 presidential election, right? I mean, we’re clear on it having nothing to do with his family or propriety, only lying to American voters, right?

This is a man who committed felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony after felony—et al.—just to ensure his 2016 presidential campaign wouldn’t die a gruesome death, which it *would’ve* had he not committed those 34 crimes.

I’m not saying this because I used to be a federal criminal investigator and a criminal defense attorney. Anyone who isn’t a child fully understands that this case isn’t about sex, hush money, or business records.

It’s a case about the successful theft of the 2016 U.S. election.

I feel like you could read and watch CNN all day and have no idea that the fully and carefully telegraphed offensive Iran orchestrated yesterday—which it knew would do no damage, and which didn’t—was a response to Israel unilaterally attacking Iranian assets in Syria days ago.

Iran’s a state-sponsor of terror and I have no respect for that regime whatsoever—but it’s journalistic malpractice for CNN to be turning to Bolton and Petraeus to try to lie America into another war in the Middle East by pretending Iran’s offensive was unprovoked and a surprise.

This was exactly the same sort of deliberately ineffectual strike that Iran used to respond the *last* time Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, working in clandestine collusion with one another, assassinated Iranian leaders in violation of international law in January of 2020.

Joe Biden is trying to be POTUS while also fighting off Donald Trump’s shadow administration, Steve Bannon’s insurrection plotting, the fascist “Project 2025,” the Trump-Netanyahu-MBS-MBZ-Putin collusion axis, and—not for nothing—trying to rescue us all from the sh*t Trump broke.

No President of the United States has had to deal with this many domestic threats since Lincoln. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Great Redoubters, a resurgent KKK, Stop the Steal remnants, Leonard Leo, a corrupt SCOTUS, election interference by Trump’s allies...

...in China, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, a fake impeachment inquiry, Bannon and Project 2025, Elon’s sprawling disinformation machine here on Twitter, Newsmax, OANN, RSBN... every day this good man swims against a towering tide, and I think people don’t realize it.

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: In Criminal Violation of Logan Act, Former President Donald Trump Attempts to Supercede Authority of U.S. President Joe Biden and Threaten Iran’s President Directly

NOTE: Under then-President Trump, America was seconds from a full-blown war with Iran in early 2020 after Trump assassinated an Iranian general, lied about what he had done and why, and then said the hundreds of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) U.S. soldiers suffered following Iran’s retaliation for the assassination were mere “headaches.” When Trump says that Iran would not attack America were he president, he is clawing open the mouths of hundreds of still-injured U.S. service-members and spitting inside them, pretending that their serious injuries never occurred on his watch or even occurred at all.

The Qasem Soleimani assassination was conducted as part of Trump collusion with Benjamin Netanyahu—Trump consulted closely with the Israelis in planning the assassination—which collusion was repeated recently when Netanyahu again assassinated Iranian leaders unilaterally, this time in Syria and at a time when President Biden was telling him to restrain himself and Donald Trump was publicly and privately sending the opposite message.

The goal of both Netanyahu and Trump is to drag America into a regional war that President Biden will be blamed for so that Trump can win in November. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu care how many dead American soldiers this plan results in, or how many dead Gazan children, or how many dead Iranian civilians. The public performance by Donald Trump in the image below, which is a federal criminal act, is part of a long-running charade to obscure the fact that he and his friend Netanyahu are marching America to war and that the Abraham Accords the two men signed with their co-conspirators MBS (Saudi Arabia) and MBZ (United Arab Emirates) deliberately excluded the Palestinians precisely so that the current war in Gaza would happen. The New York Times has already reported that Netanyahu was secretly funding Hamas through Qatar prior to October 7th despite being aware that a massive attack on Israel by Hamas was coming.

The current war in the Middle East was designed by Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and two Muslim autocrats (MBS and MBZ) who traded Gaza for Israeli surveillance equipment that would allow them to further repress their people. Feel free to read the second and third national-bestselling books in the Proof Trilogy for the sourcing on all of this.

(MORE) For those wondering, Trump posted the image at issue an hour ago on Truth Social. That he posted an *image* of a prior threat he’d made rather than writing the threat afresh is a sign of his “consciousness of guilt”; he worried he might be violating the Logan Act.

He was.

(MORE) And yes, there’s every reason for the FBI to investigate whether Trump’s home-state senator posted that image *exclusively* so that Trump could then repost it.

These are federal crimes that could lead America into a *hot war*.

The FBI must start investigating right now.

I’m aware of what’s happening in Israel, which is awful. It’s also what Trump pal Netanyahu wanted when he bombed Iranian property in Syria. I pray no civilians will be harmed as a result of Netanyahu’s bloodlust, which is aimed at keeping him out of prison on corruption charges.

It *is* reasonable to ask whether the Iranian counterattack tonight is proportional. It may not be. But it is *not* right to say Iran is the initial aggressor when we know it was Netanyahu (and U.S. intelligence has confirmed Iran did not assist in the Hamas attack on October 7).

I hope and pray the U.S. and Israel shoot down these drones and missiles and no more are launched. I also pray—but hold out little hope for—that the genocidal, war-and-regular criminal Netanyahu *won’t* use this counterattack as an excuse to escalate. He is a dangerous monster.
