Thats because he doesn't have any kompromat on Pence? Knows he has something over trump?

Or is it he refuses to talk to customer service and wants to speak to the manager?

Erdogan owns Trump.
MBS owns Trump.
Putin owns Trump.

Seems the best person if you want a corrupt investigation...


The Ukrainian prosecutor Kostiantyn H. Kulyk that compiled a seven-page dossier in English that accused the son of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. of corruption, has been indicted three times on corruption charges and accused of bringing politically motivated criminal cases against his opponents.

Also In a Ukrainian security clearance form, Mr. Kulyk admitted having ties to a warlord in eastern Ukraine accused of working for the Russian intelligence services.

Trump’s “internal review” is nothing more than an illegal attempt to unmask the whistleblower, he wants a scapegoat.

Propublica have found a way to get some of trumps tax returns and compared them to Trump loan documents. They don't match.

It seems the family trump have been committing tax fraud and/or bank fraud while he was president, telling loan companies he was making much more money that he really was...

Manafort and Cohen were put in jail for that...

The same old conundrum that every self-employed person faces: maximise profits to get a mortgage, minimise them for tax assessment. Somewhere, there's an accountancy firm calling Dial-A-Shredder.

From the article

There can be legitimate reasons for numbers to diverge between tax and loan documents, the experts noted, but some of the gaps seemed to have no reasonable justification. “It really feels like there’s two sets of books — it feels like a set of books for the tax guy and a set for the lender,”

To be fair, an old bike shop I used to use had a similar set up.

“Yes sir, we have two receipt books. One for you and your insurer, and another for your wife...”

And they did!

trumps comments.

"It's not our problem," Trump says in Oval Office of Turkey's invasion into Syria. He adds that the Kurds are "not angels." Also, he says this: "They've got a lot of sand over there.... There's a lot of sand they can play with."

Trump Org didn’t *just* keep separate books to hide tax liabilities, it *appealed* its tax bill every year with fake numbers, which not only was a crime but *created an accessible public record* of the fraud

Of course, trump was trying to dissolve the CFPB, the branch of the government that regulates lending fraud.

GRAHAM just now reacting to this: “If the President did say that Turkey’s invasion is no concern to us I find that to be an outstanding—an astonishing statement which I completely and totally reject.“

“If you’re not concerned about Turkey going into Syria why did you sanction Turkey?”

Another one of Trumps attempt at self-aggrandisement, this time using the family of Harry Dunn has failed.

Unknown to them, he had Anne Saccoolas stashed in the room next door to where he was holding an informal meeting with the Dunns, and a number of photographers lined up, but the Dunns refused to meet her under those circumstances.

You can imagine what the press releases would have said, but subtext is "don't look over there at my fk up in Syria, look at shiny jangly keys over here"
I guarantee he’ll end up slagging the Dunns now they haven’t played along with the stunt.
Well predicted. Trump has just held a Press Conference in the Oval Office and, if possible, appeared more out of it and incomprehensible than ever, word salad in overtime and sniffing uncontrollably.

He claims that the Dunns had agreed to meet Saccoolas at the W.H. but they had then changed their minds when the meeting was under way - Trump's explanation being that 'perhaps they had lawyers involved by that time".

Incidentally the Trump accident report states that the driver "made a left" rather than "made a right" turn, my understanding is that this was a technique perfected by Mexican human traffickers..

Another comment from that press conference:

Trump: PKK is ‘worse than Isis’

Donald Trump is speaking at a press conference at the White House now with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
In remarks, Trump defended his decision to pull troops from northern Syria saying that the Kurdish PPK, which had been receiving US support, is “worse at terror and more of a terrorist threat, in many ways, than Isis”.

So now they are suddenly worse than ISIS......
