BREAKING: Donald Trump gets the worst news to date about Jack Smith's investigation as legal experts announce that the Special Counsel might seize millions of dollars from his presidential campaign — a death knell for his White House run.

This one is just too perfect...

According to NBC News national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi — who was a former top FBI official — the Justice Department might seize huge amounts of money from Trump's campaign because much of it was raised off of fraudulent claims after the 2020 election.

The January 6th Committee revealed that the Trump campaign raked in $250 million in donations after the Capitol insurrection, claiming that the money would go to a legal fund to overturn the 2020 election. That fund was never created and instead the money was funneled to the Save America PAC.

"This isn’t over yet," said Figliuzzi. "When you raise millions based on a fraudulent claim, you’ve committed a crime. And, you just might have to give those millions back."

His remarks come in the wake of a new report from Politico which revealed that at least one of the interviews the Special Counsel conducted recently was "focused on fundraising and spending by Trump’s political action committee."

Bernard Kerk, the former NYPD commissioner who has been a longtime associate of Rudy Giuliani, was interviewed by investigators and "asked multiple questions about the Save America PAC’s enormous fundraising haul in the weeks between Election Day and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol."

NYU Law School professor Andrew Weissmann appears to agree with Figliuzzi. He said that there could be a "criminal case about the Trump PAC and forfeiture allegations/seizures." Better still, the case would not even have to reach all the way up to Trump before Smith would be able to seize assets.

What do you think? Should the Justice Department seize Donald Trump's ill-gotten cash?

BREAKING: Donald Trump is rocked by bombshell news as a former Homeland Security official comes forward to reveal an overlooked part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment so chilling that he says his "blood ran cold."

According to former Army officer Kevin Carroll — the man who served as senior counsel to Trump's Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly — we came dangerously close to Donald Trump using the U.S. military to murder American civilians.

He stated that Trump's advisers "would have put the U.S. military in the position of defying orders or turning their weapons on civilians.”

Carroll said that "as a veteran" he felt his blood run cold when reading two specific passage in Jack Smith's indictment.
In them, Smith details how Trump and his election-denying attorneys meticulously constructed an "autocratic plan to remain in power" aimed at forcing the U.S. military to "choose between subservience to civilian control or refusing to undertake an anti-democratic domestic political role."

Carroll pointed to Trump's Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark remark that they had options to put down any riots that might spring up if Trump illegally remained in power by saying: "That’s why there’s an Insurrection Act."

Just as evil, Trump's outside counsel John Eastman addressed the possible riots by coldly observing that certain points in American history have necessitated violence.

We came VERY close to Trump abusing his powers as commander-in-chief to murder innocent people to keep himself in in the White House. Carroll explained further—

"The armed services were to be told to use force against Americans to keep Trump in office, despite the objective fact, as established in more than 60 judicial proceedings, that Biden won the 2020 election," explained Carroll explains. He added that it could have easily resulted in a "tragic loss of life."

"Generals would be forced to choose whether to abandon an unbroken tradition of American military obedience to civilian control, or turn their guns on civilians to facilitate a losing candidate remaining in the White House beyond Inauguration Day," Carroll added.

Most damningly for Trump, Carroll concluded that the "potential harm" of the then-president's plans to use the military should "should be taken into account in the former president’s sentencing" in his 2020 election criminal case.

Carroll is absolutely right. The fact that we are even debating whether or not Donald Trump — man who tried to destroy our democracy and install himself as king — should go to prison is an indictment of us all.

Trump deserves prison above all else.
