Donald Trump‘s inner circle doesn’t expect the Supreme Court to go along with his extreme arguments about executive power in the immunity case before the justices. But what the high court does now is almost beside the point: Trump already won.
Three people with direct knowledge of the matter tell Rolling Stone that many of the former president’s lawyers and political advisers have already accepted that the justices will likely rule against him, and reject his claims to expansive presidential immunity in perpetuity. Bringing the case before the court — after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., shut down their arguments on executive power — was a delaying tactic designed to push Trump’s criminal election subversion trial past Election Day this fall. The strategy paid off so much more than MAGAworld anticipated.
“We already pulled off the heist,” says a source close to Trump, noting it doesn’t matter to them what the Supreme Court decides now.
If they even think for a second about trying to organize any kind of violent crime they’ll have FBI informants and surveillance all over their lives faster than they can say January 6th
FBI has been working to disrupt leftist organizing since the 50’s and earlier. If they had been putting that amount of effort into RW projects, there would be none.
Also, to whatever extent, FBI doesn’t need to disrupt leftists. They do that perfectly fine on their own.
Leftists need consensus to start moving, which takes way too long to get going, but once they do move the momentum is unstoppable.
Leftists suffer from the “No True Scotsman” syndrome.
