Mrs. Betty Bowers: Trump resorts to extortion in hopes of keeping some of his other crimes hidden

Bowers cuts to the chase, as always.

Mob boss Donald Trump resorts to the crime of extortion in hopes of keeping some of his other crimes hidden from the public. This is evidence known as #ConsciousnessOfGuilt in criminal cases.

who styles himself "CEO of World Independent News"; but there doesn't appear to be a functioning website for that. He's also deleted his tweet. He's one of the "Epstein is important" MAGAs, but he is basically racist, and I wouldn't trust him with anything. Here's the text of a tweet of his from March:

"When White people are no longer the majority, they will be mercilessly punished for their perceived historical & ancestral debt.

It’s happening in South Africa, it’s happening in Europe, and it can happen here too.

Stop feeling guilty, it’s okay to be White."

Extortion is this motherfucker's M.O. His first impeachment was about trying to extort Pres. Zelensky and Ukraine. The only difference here is that the media is on the receiving end this time.
