An attorney representing the former daughter-in-law of the Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg says she's cooperating with prosecutors conducting an inquiry into Donald Trump's finances and "refuses to be silenced."

Jennifer Weisselberg "is committed to speaking the truth, no matter how difficult that may be," her attorney, Duncan Levin, told Insider in a statement. "She will continue to cooperate fully with the various law-enforcement agencies that are investigating her ex-husband's family and the very powerful interests they represent."

"Jennifer refuses to be silenced any longer by those who are conspiring to prevent her from sharing what she has learned over the past 25 years," Levin added.

That could be very interesting. From the source you've given:
'The story includes an anecdote from Jennifer Weisselberg, who told The New Yorker's Jane Mayer she met Trump at a shiva and he shared photos of naked women at the Jewish mourning ceremony.

'The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is conducting a wide-ranging inquiry into Trump and his company. Court filings suggest prosecutors are focusing on whether they illegally kept two sets of books — one that painted a rosy financial picture to obtain favorable loan terms, another featuring grim data to pay less in taxes.'

Russian interference, voter disenfranchisement, attempts to dismantle the postal vote system... And Trump still lost.

Just how much brass is in her neck?

Seriously, a elected representative complaining that citizens are approaching her to give her things.

She really is a few sandwiches short of a picnic... blowing up over what was obviously a peace offering... But well played by the Guam national guard.

The fact the GOP are seemingly ok with her shows how far they've fallen.

The best bit of that story is that the Guam representative Del. San Nicolas said he was giving the Guardsmen a tour and "spreading good will."

Remember of course Greene was one claimed to have given tours just before the riot

But of course it's all part of her Qanon beliefs, that the elite are out to get her...

It's what this report didn't find, rather than what it did, which is particularly interesting.

I recall a conversation, I think it was in this forum, where several Trump aficionados touted a report released by the Trump-appointed Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe (who had literally no qualification in intelligence matters to speak of before his appointment) in which he postulated that it was China, not Russia, conducting influence and propaganda operations during the 2020 election, with his evidentiary basis for this being an internal audit that found discrepancies in analytical and evaluative process between the China and Russia teams within US intelligence agencies.

This latest DNI report effectively confirms that this was basically an uninformed op-ed by a Trump loyalist.

Trump Tower staff were reportedly vaccinated under a Chicago program intended to immunize communities of color hardest hit by COVID.

The city health department is "looking into" the vaccination event at Trump Tower, saying staff aren't yet eligible.


Trump Tower vaccinated its staff members against coronavirus — and the city’s health department is investigating what happened.

A vaccination provider came to the luxury tower — which serves condo residents and hotel guests — last week to vaccinate staff through an event organized by tower management, multiple sources told Block Club. Hotel and tower residence staff members are not eligible to be vaccinated yet — and while a Trump Tower official said the event was done under the city’s Protect Chicago Plus campaign, Chicago Department of Public Health leaders said they aren’t aware of any such vaccination event happening at the tower.

The Protect Chicago Plus campaign is meant to target residents of 15 community areas on the city’s South and West sides hit hard by COVID-19. The Downtown area, where Trump Tower is located, is not among them.

A Department of Public Health spokesman said they’ve reached out to Trump Tower to find out how the vaccination event occurred.

The vaccination event at the Downtown tower, 401 N. Wabash Ave., comes as many in Chicago who are eligible to be vaccinated and most at risk from COVID-19 are still struggling to find an appointment and get their shots.

“… We’re looking into it,” the spokesman said. ” … I will say the Protect Chicago Plus program is intended for those designated communities, so we will be looking to find out what happened.”

I see no iceberg.
We didn't hit the iceberg.
The iceberg wasn't that big.
We can patch up the dent easily.
The water in the lower decks can be bailed out, let the dancing and cocktails continue.
The lifeboats are there just in case.
We are just doing an audit of the lifeboats.
Yep, lifeboats definitely float.

...talking of mental illness..



"Former President Trump said the 2020 election “should have been overturned,” citing his repeated claims of voter fraud despite a lack of evidence.

"Our Supreme Court and our courts didn’t have the courage to overturn elections that should have been overturned," he told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday evening in a rare media appearance since leaving office in January. "You’re talking about decisive amounts, hundreds of thousands and even millions of votes."

Trump: Supreme Court should be 'ashamed' for not reversing Biden win

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/543543-trump-sup...

Also, covering for cronies ?

"Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D- R.I.) is alleging that the FBI’s background investigation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was fake.

Whitehouse, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last Thursday asking him to conduct “proper oversight” into the bureau’s 2018 probe into sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.

Whitehouse said the investigation “appears to have been a politically-constrained [one] and perhaps fake.”

Spotted this last week. We know the FBI were given a very limited scope by Barr, which meant they weren't allowed to interview witnesses to his behaviour, the same witnesses the GOP didn't allow to the confirmation hearing. Also Kavanaugh perjured himself during those hearings, so there's every chance of this being pushed further.

Donald Trump attended a wedding a few years before he became president. At that wedding he was speaking to a man and said "Between my brains and your good looks we could fk any girl in this room". Donald's wife, Melanie, was in attendance that night and the man Donald was talking to was the groom.

Donald is a close friend of the bride hence the invite and hosting at Mar-a-Largo. There is no evidence to substantiate the story other than it coming from the groom. Apparently, it was just accepted as typical Trump behaviour.

Based on what we've seen over the last 5 years, isn't it EXACTLY typical Trump behaviour?

The fact is that many people in the US don't consider it revolting or boorish. i think a lot of people think that the President should have certain standards of dignity, behaviour, and class. For 74m US voters it's not a particularly important issue

Yes, that was my point. Comments made at the wedding and with Billy Bush are just the norm for Trump. Somehow, it makes him stronger.
