I THINK TRUMP BELIEVES DE OLIVEIRA IS ABOUT TO FLIP - 7.31.23 31.07.2023

EPISODE 257: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's just guess but I think Trump is TERRIFIED that his “Property Manager” Carlos De Oliveira is about to flip. Trump freaked out again last night about Jack Smith and the documents and Hilary emails and Biden documents and the Special Counsel covering the Biden documents review – and without provocation from any known dev...

"THE BOSS WANTED THE SERVER DELETED" - 7.28.23 28.07.2023

EPISODE 256: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: “The boss wanted the server deleted.” WHY would you try to destroy the security video if you didn’t do anything wrong? WHY would you try to destroy the security video if it didn’t PROVE you broke the law? WHY would you move the documents after the government said don’t move the documents, and WHY would you move the documen...

WHAT HELL WOULD GOP HAVE CAUSED HAD THAT BEEN BIDEN? 7.27.23 27.07.2023

EPISODE 255: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: What if that had been Joe Biden and not Mitch McConnell? What if that had been JOE BIDEN stopping mid-sentence, going glassy eyed and catatonic for 30 seconds, having to be led away by his colleagues, returning only to mumble his insistence he was fine - and a bad joke? What kind of Hell would the Republicans have unleashe...

WHY DID TRUMP WRITE: THEY "ARE NOW INDICTING ME"? 7.26.23 26.07.2023

EPISODE 254: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: There are no signs that the Jack Smith Grand Jury actually did indict Donald Trump yesterday in Washington. So why and how - just minutes after the Grand Jurors went home for the day - did Trump write and post: They "Are now indicting me"? Does Trump know something we don't? Or is it just that if you send out 60 social med...

NEW TRUMP INDICTMENTS COULD COME TODAY (OR NOT!) 7.25.23 25.07.2023

EPISODE 253: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump may be indicted for the January 6th attemped coup – today. Or, not! But clearly as of 1 PM eastern at the Prettyman Courthouse in DC, the window TO indict is open for the first time on this 10th day since Trump received Jack Smith’s 2nd Target Letter. The window from Target Letter to indictment last time might have b...

JACK SMITH IS ON THE CLOCK - 7.21.23 21.07.2023

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN: EPISODE 252 A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT:  As they say at the big sports DRAFTS: Jack Smith, you are ON the clock. As soon as midnight passed on the east coast, the Special Counsel’s window of warning to the recipient of the Target Letter closed. Donald Trump has had his chance to testify to the Grand Jury or demand that evidence be submitted to the Grand Jury or...

SMITH POISED TO INDICT TRUMP FOR...RIGGING THE ELECTION! 7.20.23 20.07.2023

EPISODE 251: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: The same-day reporting on what was in Jack Smith's 2nd Target Letter to Trump was incomplete (possibly because Trump was the direct or indirect source and he only skimmed the letter and saw only the Statute Heading not the statute itself). If the Letter is any guide, The Special Counsel's centerpiece to the January 6th pro...

TRUMP INDICTMENTS TO CENTER ON PENCE, FAKE ELECTORS - 7.19.23 19.07.2023

EPISODE 250: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: We now have more Trump Trials than court schedule time FOR Trump Trials. Well - this is what we wished for! The SECOND federal set of indictments of The Defendant could be handed up as early as Thursday though Friday is likelier still and the likeliest is Trump being notified Thursday or Friday and then announcing it and w...

JUDGE CANNON WILL NOW DECIDE WHETHER WE LIVE OR DIE - 7.18.23 18.07.2023

EPISODE 248: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Judge Aileen Mercedes Cannon will now begin to decide whether we all live or die. This, sadly, is not hyperbole. A federal judge who has presided over a total of four trials for a total of fourteen days will today make the first of a series of decisions that will ultimately end with whether we all live or die. The forest r...

BULLETIN: TRUMP FACES DOZENS MORE CHARGES; "SPRAWLING CASE" - 7.18.23 18.07.2023

EPISODE 249: BULLETIN  COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:41) BULLETIN: The SECOND set of Trump Indictments by Special Counsel Jack Smith which will come as early as Thursday in Washington – the second in as many months -- may make the first ones look like a small stack of parking tickets. As news has broken this morning and this afternoon we are seeing the outline of a HUGE number of count...

WAS TRUMP TOLD HE'LL BE PROSECUTED FOR INSURRECTION? 7.17.23 17.07.2023

EPISODE 247: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Why did Trump imply he was quote “being charged under the Insurrection Act?” Why did Trump put that out THOSE words – “Insurrection Act” on his social media propaganda site and then delete the post within half an hour and replace “Insurrection Act” with “Espionage Act”? Is there a chance somebody has told him that he may a...

HAVE LUFT AND COMER "JEOPARDIZED HOMELAND SECURITY TO HELP TRUMP" - 7.14.23 14.07.2023

EPISODE 246: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT:  As a Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz asked the trillion-dollar question – whether James Comer and the House Oversight Committee and their indicted fugitive Chinese Agent witness have quote “jeopardized Homeland Security in their search to help Donald Trump” – Comer and Nancy Mace and Speaker McCarthy and all the ot...

EPISODE 245: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Groups of Congressional Democrats have now separately called for investigations of Gal Luft and his influence on Congressional Republicans, investigations by the House Armed Services Committee, by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, by the House Select Committee on China, and by the House Oversight Committee. investigatio...

DOES THE GOP KNOW WHERE THEIR FUGITIVE GAL LUFT IS? 7.12.23 12.07.2023

EPISODE 244: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Do the Republican leaders know WHERE their fugitive foreign agent Gal Luft is? Does Senator Ron Johnson – demanding immunity for Luft so that this multi-national con-man can testify to the House – know Where Gal Luft is? Does Chairman James Comer – still insisting Luft must testify despite the damning revelation that he ha...

THE ENTIRE GOP HUNTER BIDEN "SCANDAL" CRASHES. IT'S COMEUPPANCE DAY! - 7.11.23 11.07.2023

EPISODE 243: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's COMEUPPANCE DAY!  The ENTIRE Republican Hunter Biden/Jo Biden fairy tale has burst and collapsed to the ground, pinning Jamie Comer and Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham and Fox News under the rubble. And the fascists’ pretend-FBI plant they swear was behind January 6th has decided to sue Fox and maybe Tucker Carlson...

AS 'THREADS' PASSES 100 MILL; MUSK HAS TO ASK FOR A BAILOUT, RIGHT? 7.10.23 10.07.2023

EPISODE 242: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Not even five days since it went live, Zuckerberg's 'Threads' has exceeded the 100,000,000 users mark. And what is Musk doing? Calling him a "cuck" and personally servicing "Libs of TikTok." He's already made a fool of himself threatening to sue Zuckerberg and he HAS sued Twitter's old law firm for accepting the money Twit...

JUDGE DETAINS TRUMP'S OBAMA-HUNTING TERRORIST FOR A WEEK - 7.7.23 07.07.2023

EPISODE 241: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: The judge in the Taylor Taranto case bought prosecutors – and former President Obama – and the COUNTRY – a little more time by NOT ruling yesterday on whether or not Taranto can be held without bail until trial. He ordered prosecution and defense to return to court NEXT WEDNESDAY to continue arguments. That MIGHT be enough...

TRUMP DOXXED OBAMA; TRUMP'S STOCHASTIC TERRORIST WENT TO KILL OBAMA - 7.6.23 06.07.2023

EPISODE 240: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: One of Trump’s stochastic terrorists went to Barack Obama’s house to assassinate him. Anybody else notice this, or was it just me? And that a Washington judge was having a hard time last night finding an excuse to hold him without bail? Hold the WOULD-BE ASSASSIN without bail? And that Trump had doxxed Obama and finally fo...

30 TO 45 MORE TRUMP INDICTMENTS - AND RUDY TOO! 6.30.23 30.06.2023

EPISODE 239: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Jack Smith is reportedly ready to indict Trump on between 30 and 45 MORE counts. And he is preparing to indict several of Trump’s lawyers from the Fake Electors Scheme including (voluntary interview notwithstanding) Rudy Giuliani. And all that is reported by the same British newspaper that correctly nailed the Miami indict...

RUDY OFFERS TO FLIP - 6.29.23 29.06.2023

EPISODE 238: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) Rudy Giuilani has offered to flip. It is almost certainly NOT against Trump and it may even be a finesse play to distract Jack Smith FROM Trump (and from himself). But that "voluntary meeting" with prosecutors we heard about early in the week turns out to have been a "Proffer Offer" in which he essentially auditioned as a witness. The New...

WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO PEOPLE ON THE TRUMP CONFESSION TAPE AND DID THEY FLIP ON HIM? - 6.28.23 28.06.2023

EPISODE 237: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: There arises today the distinct chance that the two Non-Trump-Employees heard on the Trump Confession Recording supplied their copy of the recording to Jack Smith, and that they will testify against him. It may be coincidence but we know this much for sure: days after they were at Bedminster in July, 2021, after a lot of p...

TRUMP CAUGHT ON TAPE NARRATING HIS OWN ESPIONAGE CRIMES - 6.27.23 27.06.2023

EPISODE 236: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Donald Trump will be convicted for criminal violations of The Espionage Act. Because there are smoking guns, and then there are the smoking guns so profound and so productive that they turn the Eastern Seaboard sky orange. And this one is the second kind. CNN GOT the clip of the actual recording of Trump showing off classi...

JACK SMITH NEARS INDICTMENTS ON FAKE ELECTORS - 6.26.23 26.06.2023

EPISODE 235: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT:  While we wait to see if Yevgeny Prigozhin accidentally falls out Vladimir Putin’s window in a month, or Vladimir Putin accidentally falls out Yevgeny Prigozhin’s window in a month, it is clear that Jack Smith is again in the End Game for more Trump Indictments – about Fake Electors – and he and his team are also really sh...

TRUMP IN PANIC; ALITO IN MORE TROUBLE - 6.23.23 23.06.2023

EPISODE 234: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: He’s behaved like a lot of things before but until now Trump has NEVER sounded so desperately scared. “CONGRESS WILL HOPEFULLY NOW LOOK AT THE EVER CONTINUING WITCH HUNTS AND ELECTION INTERFERENCE” it began.“CONGRESS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE POLITICAL WITCH HUNTS,” he begs. All caps. “THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN WIN IS TO CHEAT....

WHY DID ALITO NEED A RULE TO KNOW NOT TO BE A WHORE? - 6.22.23 22.06.2023

EPISODE 233: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: The most influential conservative justice on the Supreme Court accepted a free private jet flight worth $100,000 from a hedge fund manager and then six years later the justice voted in favor of a Supreme Court decision that gave the hedge fund manager’s company $2,400,000,000. Neither all the hand-wringing and self-martyri...
