The more people who turn on TFG and talk, the more people will turn on him and talk

[obamanut2012]

The hardest part is always getting the first Mafia capo to talk. The second hardest is getting the second one to flip. After that, it becomes a trickle. Then a deluge.

We are seeing the trickle start now imo, which is why Trump is getting even more psycho the past week.

And, lower high level folks are talking and turning over info, so many of the even higher level folks aren't needed now as much. The first ones that flip get the best deals...

1. Michael Cohen was one of the first.

Perhaps someone can come up with a chronological list of the early turnovers.

[obamanut2012]

4. Yup, and it took a bit for him to finally do that

But, I give him some props for not only turning, but keeping the screws in.

2. Agreed

I think Pence's staff will be significant. They are pissed at the way TFG treated their boss and are happy to report what they know. Mark Short's testimony should be very important.

[obamanut2012]

5. And, Short is a Bush-era operative

They loathed Trump, and you know Dick Cheney is moving and shaking some things in the background right now, with his daughter doing it in the House.

3. Q: Is it too late for me to turn on John Gotti?

A: Yes. Way too late.

But it's not too late to turn on TFG. Whattya say? Rudy? Ivanka?

[obamanut2012]

6. Rudy is an especial idiot if he isn't talking

[dchill]

8. I think that's a given. But he IS always talking!

[obamanut2012]

10. haahhahahhahaha

[lagomorph777]

9. Rudy is a special kind of idiot.

[obamanut2012]

11. +1!

7. Shit rolls downhill. But the best stuff goes uphill in this particular case.

Getting the lower level people to talk will entrap the higher level ones.

In this case, it is Mike Pence and Ivanka Trump who are the Sammy "the Bull" Gravano who takes down Teflon Donnie and Mark Meadows.

I might be wrong. But then, I have read a lot of Mob non-fiction over the years.

[obamanut2012]

12. Marc Short is doing it, probably with Pence's nod

[dchill]

13. ...on the downlow.

14. Ever turn on a partially frozen garden hose?

It starts as a trickle, but that little bit of water thaws some ice, and the thaw goes faster and faster over the next minute or so.

15. Like holes in a dam.
