Unless I missed it, I don't see Ivanka listed? Is she covered by some of the organisation/company letters?

Possibly relevant:



Maybe Nunes, Gorka, others to add to the list?

Great, thanks

The investigations will go deeper & deeper ,uncovering crimes upon crimes upon crimes upon crimes, like an onion.Getting POTUS to trial may be a never ending task, especially when prosecutors will have to explain the enormously complex & linked crimes in words of less than 1 syllable to a jury. Remember that woman who refused to convict one of his lackeys as "Trump can do no wrong"? How many of those idiots do you end up with on a jury?

And none of it will make any difference to his core support. "Fake nooz" (God I wish he would pronounce it properly, but with that strange beak of a mouth it may be tricky), "Witch hunt", "failing New York Times"....they lap it up.

Absolutely,Mueller's report wont be touched by 30%+ of the US


OT:I got an offer of this in my inbox today

[Lazermilk]

The latest ‘Last week tonight’ is another good one, couple of sections linked to trump are amusing, the ‘countries you have never heard of’ and the deal trump did about helping pay for automating factory jobs, which seems at odds with his promises...

On the list of names, no 72 Thomas Barrack, interesting chap. The LA Times have a writeup on him from last year: https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-b...

The reason I mention him is that this article turned up on my news feed: https://www.albawaba.com/news/trump%E2%80%99s-man-.... This source paints Barrack as a fixer or go-between for the Saudi royals and the Trumps then touches on the Saudi/USA nuclear deal, framing it as a money making scam for Flynn, Kushner, et al. (Note on the source, I'm not overly familiar with Al Bawaba other than knowing it's a Jordanian outfit but they are established, I've generally thought of them as being red top Express/Mirror level.)

Of note is that the USA has very tight controls on exporting nuclear technology requiring congressional approval which has been neither sought nor obtained. Despite this Saudi has sought nuclear tech from America and clan Trump provided it in the only way they know how, ignore all the rules and maximize personal profit. If I was a betting man I'd say Mueller's super secret court thingy has something to do with this deal.

They are now going after trumps tax returns, his money, crossing trumps red line. It was always about money for trump, always has been. He has to be the richest, the most successful, putting on the appearance even if he isn't. This will be the easiest way to charge him, because he'll have years of crime here, with Cohen and trump org CFO turning witness, they'll be a huge amount for them to get through,

Whoops Roger...
Robert Mueller's office has notified Judge Amy Berman Jackson about an Instagram post from Roger Stone that could be in violation of Judge Jackson's strict gag order on Stone

The Wall Street journal are reporting that one of trumps lawyers discussed pardons with Cohen after the FBI raid and later Giuliani kept the option on the table.

Bad news for trump, Giuliani etc. Cohen said he wouldn't discuss his last call with trump but you can bet he taped it. Giuliani is another looking at obstruction of justice.

Edit: is this the SDNY investigation Cohen wouldn't talk about, investigating Giuliani?

Trumps been tweeting again. On a day there are reports that Fox News conspired with trump to help him get elected, he's retweeting Fox News, complaining about the investigation into his crimes...

I mean the obvious answer if they are as innocent as they proclaim would be:
"We welcome the investigation and look forward to cooperating with the investigators because we are confident that they will find no wrongdoing."

Can't see that happening so far. Trump attacks media, Bezos especially, the Dems, Mueller, everyone in fact

trump says he's negotiating a trade deal with China


So it's kinda handy then that China has just granted preliminary approval for 38 trademarks linked to Donald Trump, documents on China’s state trademark office show, giving the U.S. President and his family protection were they to develop the “Trump” brand in the market.

Of course, any Republicans compianing about the committees request for documents should just remember that this is what they themselves promised if Clinton won, back in Oct 2016.

Cohens released a new cheque, further backing up his claims of reimbursement from trump
