The GOP is trying to figure out who they can trust complete with invocations of George Soros. Maximum disinformation is coming with an impending indictment. You might not even trust your kids as Trump recently worried as much as he can about family farms.

It's nearly impossible to summarize all of Trump's complaining and ranting over the past few days. But it all pretty much touches on those beats listed above. He's repeatedly attacking Bragg; he's bringing up Soros; and he's saying he did nothing wrong. Hilariously, he's posting(Opens in a new tab) screenshots of tweets on his own competing site. mashable.com/...

x It's not up to House Republicans to review Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's conduct. It's up to Manhattan voters. If Trump is indicted, a jury will decide whether there's sufficient evidence to convict.
The GOP continues to undercut our democratic institutions to serve Trump. — Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) March 20, 2023
x BREAKING: Those same Trump allies will try to suggest Alvin Bragg is soft on [other] crime, and almost no reporters will ask why those Trump allies' own cities have higher crime rates. — emptywheel (@emptywheel) March 20, 2023
x Gov. Ron DeSantis:
"I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of affair — I just, I can't speak to that."

"So DeSantis thinks that Dems weaponizing the law to indict President Trump is a "manufactured circus" & isn't a 'real issue,'" tweeted Don Jr., calling the DeSantis' response "pure weakness." "Now we know why he was silent all weekend," Jr. added, "He's totally owned by Karl Rove, Paul Ryan & his billionaire donors. 100% Controlled Opposition." www.dailykos.com/...
bizarre new campaign video in which he told American farmers that it was okay to not love their children. At the start of the video, Trump boasted about his administration's actions on behalf of American farmers that included "saving" ethanol and eliminating the inheritance tax for family farms. He then told the farmers that eliminating the inheritance tax would allow them to leave their farms to their children tax free. "I got rid of the death tax on farms so that when you do pass away, on the assumption that you love your children, you can leave it to them and they won't have to pay tax," he said. "But if you don't love your children so much, and there are some people that don't, and maybe deservedly so, it won't matter, because frankly you won't have to leave them anything." www.msn.com/…

x “This is a huge development.” Final preparations being made to arrest Donald Trump next week. Trump will “be fingerprinted and processed like every other defendant”. The Secret Service will make the decision whether to handcuff the former president or not. (Video: Fox News) pic.twitter.com/u36MW0680U — Mike Sington (@MikeSington) March 17, 2023
x Asked about a Trump indictment, Ron DeSantis served up sloppy word salad, ham-handedly elevating the hush money payments while robotically repeating the word "Soros" as many times as he could. It's notable that this came after Trumpworld boxed him in:

x Kevin McCarthy: Trump doesn't believe MAGA should protest any indictment
Trump, only hours later: BE READY, THE COMMUNISTS ARE COMING FOR MAGA!!!

x Kevin McCarthy has been forced into the ludicrous position of calling on MAGA to be calm while agreeing Trump's the victim of a witch hunt.
At this point Rs are required to cast any/all law enforcement activity involving Trump as inherently illegitimate.

x Kimberly Wehle's "The Trump Investigation You Probably Haven’t Heard About" talks about a 6th, little heard of Trump investigation. It involves conduct since Trump left office and launched his own social media platform, Truth Social.
https://t.co/pUXl9oPgjl via @BulwarkOnline — Silvija V. stands w/Ukraine 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🌻 (@SVecrumba) March 20, 2023 There’s a sixth—this one involves both DOJ and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it implicates conduct since Trump left office and after he was expelled from Twitter and launched his own social media platform, Truth Social. The matter involves a so-called “blank check company” called Digital World Acquisition. Blank check companies have no established business plan but gather funds and sell shares to investors with the intention of merging with or acquiring another company in the future. The investors have no idea what they will ultimately be investing in. Under SEC rules, after an initial public offering (IPO), a blank check company’s funds must be deposited in escrow prior to a transaction and held there until shareholders officially approve a merger. As of 2020, a particular form of blank check company known as “special purpose acquisition companies,” or “SPACs,” made up 50 percent of the market for IPOs. This figure represents a huge spike prompted by the SEC’s temporary inability to approve traditional IPOs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump took advantage of it to launch Truth Social. www.thebulwark.com/...
x After TFG's "truth social" rant Santilli responded on his show by calling for Trump's supporters in the military to rise up and round up Obama and his former administration officials and shoot them against a "concrete wall."
