The finger-pointing among Donald Trump’s inner circle has begun.
And as his four criminal cases march toward trials, some of his aides, allies and co-defendants are pointing at the former president.
In court documents and hearings, lawyers for people in Trump’s orbit — both high-level advisers and lesser known associates — are starting to reveal glimmers of a tried-and-true strategy in cases with many defendants: Portray yourself as a hapless pawn while piling blame on the apparent kingpin.
“History has shown the 18 co-defendants that Donald doesn’t care about anyone but himself,” said Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, referring to the 18 people charged alongside Trump in the Georgia election racketeering case.
Their claims to their base that “if they are able to do this to us, they could do it to you” should be the wake up call that snaps the MAGA cult out of its blind devotion.
How the average MAGA cultist can look at Trump et al and feel that they are part of the same group is mind boggling.
they are loss invested. they havd put so much time into it stopping now would only mean all of it was a waste.mental gymnastics aside at that point it would feel like it costs less to contine to the very bottom then stop and turn around… you know just incase everything starts going your way again… theres always a chance if you let it fester. best to smother it like a fire. never leave a little burning.
MAGAts are all “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, and thus part of the in-group (as soon as they get their millions)

First one then the other.
After they catch up on their payday loans.
If they are able to expose my scams they might be willing to expose your scams too!
