Extraordinary Relief?

RantWoman is not a lawyer.

RantWoman is not a real estate finance expert.

RantWoman is not a spycraft expert.

RantWoman is also severely allergic to Trump Inevitability Syndrome in the media.

However, RantWoman is willing not only to wade into such realms on social media, but also to grab the story of a serial killer for some metaphors.

Let's get to it.

#DonTheCon, Defendant and EX president T, lifelong tax cheat and business fraudster is in deep doo-doo. He currently owes the state of New York almost half a billion dollars in fines, penalties, and interest. He wants to appeal and the appellate court for good reason requires him on pretty short notice to post bond equivalent to the total amount owed in order even to appeal the judgment. 

This purported billionaire and one of his sons are now on TV pandhandling for $5 and $10 very small dollar donations from hardworking people who pay their taxes, don't stiff their contractors or the jurisdictions where they throw parties.... Big money friends are sitting on their hands and RantWoman is pretty sure the US really, really REALLY does not want ANY presidential candidate reaching out to shady international sources of funding that this civil and criminal defendant has previously traveled with.

So what to do?

RantWoman wants to urge NY Attorney General Tish James to keep the pressure on, not to give an ince about accountability.

Peculiar digression:

Coincidentally, Peter Navarro, that Green Bay Sweep guy who plotted a coup and helped lay the groundwork for #January6 extended "tourism" excursion and single biggest one-day violent crime spree in the US since 9/11. That Peter Navarro just began serving 4 months in federal prison for contempt of Congress.

RantWoman's mind wandered to...the Green River Killer. Do not worry about how RantWoman got there. Just work with it.

Gary Leon Ridgeway, the Green River Killer, after well over a decade of killings in South King County WA, was arrested, jailed and facing the death penalty.  Ultimately, in exchange for then King County prosecutor Dave Reichert taking the death penalty off the table, Ridgeway confessed to 49 murders, remembered the locations of bodies enough to give families peace, and accepted a sentence of life without parole. RantWoman remembers great relief, both that the serial killer had been caught, and, considering plenty of gruesome details in news reports of the time, that the public was spared a trial.

Uhh, #TFG has said a lot of disgusting things to and about women, but he is not known to have murdered anyone. 

Urk. ex-wife #1 did mysteriously fall down some stairs. 

Besides, considering the EX president's habit of waving classified documents around at Mar a Lago like hunting trophies, as well as the Presidential son-in-law's entanglements with the murderous branchof the Saudi royal family, RantWoman is going to go out on a limb and guess there are some "intelligence assets" who met untimely ends as a result of the EX President's behavior. So close enough.

Anyway, #DonTheCon could TRY one more time for a payment plan, a schedule to put money / titles to property in escrow while the appeal is in process. If he wins his appeal, he gets his money back. If not the state is made whole.

Here's what RantWoman wishes Tish James could bring about, ALL of the following conditions.:

--#DonTheCon has a liquidity problem. Interest rates are still high and RantWoman imagines that, even without the firesale angle, it's not necessarily a great time to be trying to sell real estate. So let the judge overseeing his financial affairs keep supervising all his finances and administering sales judiciously with ALL proceeds going toward judgements, not toward the Presidential campaign. Could another layer of monitoring be put in place specifically to forestall campaign finance violations?

Demand a down payment and some other VERY strict conditions:

--#DonTheCon has 3 months to negotiate plea agreements and pleads guilty to at least one felony in every jurisdiction where he is indicted. If Mar a Lago can't happen, hold the line harder about everyone else.

--#DonTheCon drops out of the Presidential race immediately! If he wants to endorse #NikkiHaley and release his delegates to her because she hung in longest and won more votes than any other also ran, that would suit RantWoman fine. If he just wants to release his delegates to vote their conscience based on politicking between now and the convention, RantWoman would be okay with that as a second choice.

--#DonTheCon agrees to at least a year of psychological examinations and debriefing about everything to do with his ballroom full of Presidential records. Honestly, RantWoman hopes that there is someone in the Trump family orbit who loves defendant Trump to impress upon him how badly he embarrasses himself and how useful some mental health support could be. Sleeping more and kicking whatever drug habits are behind his behaviors would also be an awesome idea.

--Consent to house arrest FOR LIFE at one of his properties with court permission anytime he needs to go anywhere, VERY limited guest list and access to social media a privilege that he has to earn and that he can lose for any infraction of court rules.

Is this election interference?

HELL YES.

For one thing, the WHOLE COUNTRY needs an electoral campaign that is not all about corrupt or incompetent federal judges, interpersonal divorce-related soap opera, and candidate tantrums at every turn both live and on social media.

RantWoman would LIKE to hope that there is enough sanity and respect for the Constitution in a major party for people to come together to save the country from this financial and moral disaster of a human being. RantWoman, admittedly, is still trying to work out a respectful strategy for connecting with at least the saner end of Defendant Trump's base, but that can be left for another blog post.

#DonTheCon lost the popular vote twice. He is busy simultaneously hiding under evey corner of a Constitutional umbrella he can find and publicly tearing up the Constitution, not even promising to abide by election results.

So what would be gained from looking to the Green River Killer case for an example?

A whole lot of the internet is chomping at the bit to see the former President on trial and in prison, but unless something even more outrageous that #J6 happens, RantWoman does not see that happening. Someone so clearly struggling mentally should not even try to mix the stress of trials with the canpaign trail. Every other job applicant in the world gets asked the question "when are you available to start work?" #DonTheCon is not going to be available and the sooner the #GOP deals with that the more opportunity there is for real alternative possibilities.

Everyone MUST VOTE and must fight off voter suppression and all barriers to voting. RantWomanalso does not want to hang the fate of democracy solely on what does or does not happen in the courts between now and November 5.  

RantWoman would love to see this career grifter have to survive on his Presidential pension alone. Probably there are plenty of cost-conscious supporters who would be glad to provide coupon clipping tips. RantWoman also assumes that house arrest at one of #DementiaDon 's properties will be more congenial accommodations than, say, supermax in CO.

The country has plenty of concerns that need sober attention! is this idea possible or just a wild flight of fantasy???
