.@parscale isn't in a psych ward because of the current @nytimes
story.

He's in a psych ward because he knows the next two stories that are coming.

Save this tweet.

Cult45 humiliation and that of their false prophet. So delicious!

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. now THAT is a tease!

[mucifer]

2. Don Winslow is interesting. When he tweets he sounds like a bully. When he is interviewed he

seems like a quiet intellect. He does a lot of intense research for his crime novels. I wonder if his tweets are more psychological button pushing done very purposefully.

Either way, here's hoping more comes out to go after parscale and trump and all the cronies.

[Maven]

33. At this point, I put him in the Eric Garland category

Lots of talk about secret sources and threats to Trumpers about damaging information that never seems to materialize.

People want so much to believe that there are connected individuals who will bring down the hammer on Trump. So far, he has yet to actually deliver anything meaningful.

[mucifer]

35. You are probably right. His books are good and he makes good pro dem ads. But, his tweets, I agree

with you.

[BComplex]

55. I don't know. I think this tax story was one that Don Winslow knew was coming down the pike.

I don't think his teases come without the goods eventually showing up.

[Pacifist Patriot]

56. That's the thing, isn't it?

Just about anyone today could tease about a coming Trump-related scandal without providing any details, and they are almost guaranteed to be proved right within a week.

[Upthevibe]

58. Maven....

I've asked this question about Don Winslow before. He posted a tweet months ago about Lindsey Graham that was like this...It insinuated that he add something on Graham months and months ago and nothing.

I found it frustrating. Having said that, I love his videos and I definitely think he's done more good than harm....

[Maven]

60. Yes, he threatened to release the goods on Graham

Something about Graham staying in a hotel in Russia. Nothing has come of it since.

The teaser posts are a way to get followers and likes but they are ultimately just a tease. People want to believe that justice is coming to horrible people like Graham and so naturally they tune in when someone with an existing platform -- like a published author -- claims to have insider knowledge. It almost always turns out to be nothing because those with actual insider knowledge are either keeping it quiet or saving it for a book deal.

[ecstatic]

43. Interesting. I've never seen an interview of him

but his tweets and anti-trump ads are extremely tough!

[mucifer]

45. Here he is interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning:

[Delphinus]

46. I'll

check this out tomorrow - thank you!

[ecstatic]

47. Thanks. I had a completely different

idea of him based on his tweets and Twitter pic.

I'm going to check out his books when time permits. I love that he puts so much time and research into the subjects he writes about.

[JI7]

3. Isn't he there because he was abusive to his wife and threatened her ?

[PTWB]

7. No, that would put him in jail.

The psych ward is because he is reportedly suicidal.

The rumors are he has been laundering / embezzling money from and for the Trump campaign.

[brewens]

9. That would put him in line for some Putin punch I believe. His guys could probably take someone

out and be helped out of the country by Barr.

[Dream Girl]

23. Is that why the campaign "ran out of money"?

[wnylib]

42. I'm thinking more likely how the campaign

got money in the first place, and then funneled it to Donny.

[lindysalsagal]

51. Might very likely be in the "kids" pockets, now, and he put it there.

[blm]

15. Not necessarily disconnected.

Not unusual for someone losing their grip to lash out at those close by.

[rzemanfl]

4. The first one was the British Channel 4 report today. n/t

[Whiskeytide]

11. Are you talking about Tя☭mp's plan ...

... to prevent black votes? I cant get that story/video to load. What was it?

[rzemanfl]

13. Yes. Voter data on 200 million Americans, a plan to deter 3.5 million black voters from voting that

was very successful. Find a link to the video that works. It is an important story and will continue tomorrow at around 4:00 p.m. ET.

[rzemanfl]

14. There is a working link below. n/t

[Whiskeytide]

50. Thanks. A must see. I'm struck ...

... by how the voters (or non-voters) they looked up still, after it was explained to them, mostly refused to even consider the possibility that they had been manipulated/influenced.

This is going to be a long fight.

[rzemanfl]

53. There will be more tomorrow. The show airs at 4 p.m. Eastern.

Can't be streamed here without VPN trickery. Should be a video on DU before 5.

[phylny]

16. What was it? Thanks! n/t

[Baclava]

5. Money laundering? Indictment? Those stories? lol

[tenderfoot]

6. And then there's this

[tinrobot]

22. Parscale was definitely involved in that one.

I could see why he might get triggered.

[tanyev]

8. Oh?

[LuvLoogie]

10. There will be a story showing he skimmed money into his own businesses...

money that was supposed to be paid to the Russian Mob. They won't like that.

[blm]

17. Hadn't heard that, but, it fits this group of thugs.

[LuvLoogie]

18. It's just my imagination at this point.

Who do suppose is more brutal? The Russian Mob or the Mexican drug cartels?

[AZ8theist]

25. Absolutely no comparison between those two...

The Russian mob has the power of the government behind it. Mexican cartels do not. They only get help through corruption and bribes.

The Russian government and the Russian mob are virtually one and the same.

[erronis]

28. I think you are making a false distinction. Governments can become mobs and visa-versa.

It's always the rule of the mighty or most feared.

Some governments are nothing more than shells for terrorists. Other governments foment armed posses. Example abound, even in US and recent history.

[AZ8theist]

36. How is this a false distinction?

The Russian mob is controlled and run by Putin.

You're telling me the Mexican drug cartel runs the Mexican government?

[tinrobot]

52. You may be correct. It just dropped that Parscale may have skimmed $170 million

Non-Partisan Watchdog Accuses Trump Campaign Of ‘Laundering’ $170 Million

The Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission Tuesday accusing the Trump campaign of “laundering” $170 million through numerous companies, some with connections to former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.

[LuvLoogie]

54. I think that's an updated story that flew under the radar.

Maybe the actual documents have surfaced or are about to.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

12. He was Baker Acted because he wanted to hurt himself or someone else

In Florida the Baker Act gives you 72 hours in a psych ward for observation and then generally you are released unless you are still exhibiting the same behavior that put you there.

[cwydro]

19. I don't care for the "tease tweets."

They usually come to naught.

[ffr]

30. Or in this case, we know the NYT has more stories on this subject pending

And Don Winslow seems to think he has a good idea as to what's happening. So why not put it out there? Wouldn't you, wouldn't anyone?

[Maven]

38. Yes, and notice he is teasing 'the next two stories' which could mean anything

There are a lot of people who have built a platform on the wishful thinking of people on our side.

[grantcart]

62. Daily Mail and Business Insider published two different stories

Today about Pascale coming under suspicion

Daily Mail says he is under suspicion for taking 25-40 million

Business Insider reporting an internal campaign investigation is looking at massive theft.

[cwydro]

64. I take Daily Mail with a massive grain of salt.

However, I completely think this is true lol!

[grantcart]

65. I understand but they are definitely quicker to break news

[Cha]

20. I love Don Winslow, Author, who has been

Grand in our Fight For Democracy!



Rt!

21. It's Not because of Dems like trump Lied, either.

@realDonaldTrump is a DEADBEAT GRIFTER

26. For embezzling/laundering, Brad would be a piker compared to Ivanka and her two brothers.

[DinahMoeHum]

29. But an embezzler nonetheless, a grifter ripping off a grifter.

Such sweet schadenfreude.

Whoever said there was honor among thieves was also a thief.

[keithbvadu2]

32. Yeah! And the Trumps will be sure to give him full credit/blame.

[Maven]

31. Which are? Winslow has become notorious for posting tweets like this to get likes and followers

Still waiting for him to follow through on any of his threats (beyond posting videos)

[Takket]

37. yeah.......

people who actually know things don't post stuff like this..........

[dhill926]

39. yeah...I've noticed that...

I'm a huge fan of his writing...this stuff, not so much.

[grantcart]

63. Daily Mail and Business Insider ran two different stories about Pascale

under suspicion for massive fraud.

Could be he saw the stories breaking or guessed that something was about to break.

[Lonestarblue]

34. Parscale needs to be interrogated about how they "won" the 2016 election.

Now that Trump has demoted him, he may be willing to confess to whether they stole that election. There were lots of abnormalities in that election. It would be good to know whether they were manufactured or just abnormalities.

[marble falls]

40. Trumps going to deny knowing him. And Guiliani is accusing him of stealing campaign funds.

[justgamma]

41. I just hope

he doesn't get a visit from Barr. People who get a visit from him seem to get dead in a couple of days.

[LudwigPastorius]

44. Speculation, or...

does Winslow have buddies who work for the Times?

If he's got a source, and it turns out there are actually stories being written that are so explosive they'd make Parscale off himself, why are they waiting to publish them?

This is just the fate of our country we're talking about here, not an episode of McGuyver in which he disarms the bomb with one second left.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

48. Remove the Hilleary hat cloud, & Funny how four year old news is new again.

49. OK, you got my attention. Bring it on. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

59. Don Winslow promised fireworks in October

Can't wait.

[mercuryblues]

61. the grift

Parscale and trump's campaign lawyers opened several businesses in Parscale's name. Money was paid to those businesses for campaign work. Money was paid out into trump's KKkids, wives and mistresses. I read somewhere that 40 million is missing IOWs Brad's cut. Nothing will be done about the 100's of millions that went into trump's pocket.
