The Rules — revealed.

Here are the 12 Rules for Taking Down Trump and defeating him in prosecution or litigation

RULE 1:

Total buy-in from the top leadership — then they need to get out of the way and let the prosecutors work.

RULE 2:
Trump will try to buy the prosecutors or get to their inner circle — freeze him out and never let him co-opt.

RULE 3:
Try to tilt the political incentives in favor of intervention — either marshal public support or convince the elected that holding Trump accountable is good politics.

RULE 4:
Trump will stonewall you — but fight back. And he outsources everything, so track down his vendors and get the documents from them instead.

RULE 5:
Trump constantly screws over his vendors and business partners — these people are all potential allies who can break open your case.

RULE 6:
Play the long game: fight the fight on statutes of limitations.

Trump uses them to evade justice, so do whatever it takes to extend the scope of his liability.

RULE 7:
Trump is incapable of being quiet and will inevitably inculpate himself — so scour every statement of his you can possibly find and use it against him.

RULE 8:
If at all possible, get Trump under oath — and he will hang himself.

RULE 9:
“It has to be perfect” — take the extra effort to make your argument as airtight as possible, and make sure you have a clear story for the media and the public.

RULE 10:
Trump constantly churns through lawyers and often gets them on the cheap — so be ready for the clown show and focus on the court rather than opposing counsel. Focus on the signal, not the noise, and wait for them to make a mistake.

RULE 11:
Trump will lash out at opponents and their lawyers — ignore it, it means you’re on the right track.

RULE 12:
Regardless of what he says, Trump will settle rather than lose a case outright — but stick to your guns and don’t settle too soon or for too little.

A full breakdown of all the rules — and how they apply to every case from January 6 to Trump University to E. Jean Carroll to Mar-a-Lago and even all the cases that never happened because Trump swept them under the rug

Finally finally

If you’ve made it this far — let’s send a message. Let’s work together and get the word out that justice is possible if we CHOOSE to make it happen

And all profits go to nonprofit orgs Movement Voter Project and Protect Democracy

So repost if you can - thanks!
