'Revocable Trust' is my new favourite oxymoron.

Some of the names are interesting.
Seth Abramson is running through them, but there's no stone being left unturned
https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1102642918...

1. 58 RHONA GRAFF. Trump's secretary for years, Graff has inexplicably evaded investigators' attention until now—despite the fact that she was the gatekeeper for much of the information that flowed to Trump pre-election, including outreach from Kremlin agents the Agalarovs.

1. 47: MATTHEW CALAMARI. A Trump bodyguard who became an Executive VP and COO at the Trump Organization, Calamari accompanied Trump to Moscow in 1996—a trip during which Congressional investigators appear to believe the Kremlin collected blackmail on Trump from wild parties.

Donald Trump’s personal secretary Rhona Graff has been in Trump world thirty years. She’s seen it all and probably has participated in more crimes as an accessory than we can name and has the title Senior Vice President of the Trump Organization.
She can’t fall on the excuse that she was just an underling following orders. She’s got real involvement and will probably be chaqrged unless she flips.

Same with Hope Hicks, was trumps gateway during campaign, transition, election etc
trump doesn't do email so she handled all that for him, even offering to delete emails about trump tower meeting

Not sure

An attorney for Michael Cohen, Michael Monico, revealed a new check allegedly given to Cohen from President Trump for a hush-money payment on live TV Monday night. Monico told MSNBC's Ari Melber that the check, which he said was not submitted to Congress as evidence because it was only recently found, was from Feb. 2017 and came after a White House meeting Cohen had with Trump. At the meeting, Monico claims Trump told Cohen that two checks of $35,000 would be forthcoming.

Trump will claim he had no knowledge as he didn't sign it.

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.

You mean that Clan Shambles Trump possibly did what they've always claimed Clinton did with Uranium One and sold State info/goods for personal gain?

I'm not surprised

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.

A man whose careless with a bone saw should be trusted with nuclear tech?

Interesting thing about Barrack also was that in 2016 he made a disaterous business deal that saw him almost lose everything so went looking for ways to make money. Handy timing eh.

Federal prosecutors have requested records related to a $285 million loan that Deutsche Bank gave Jared Kushner's family real estate company one month before Election Day, the company confirmed this week.

Swamp news.

T-Mobile says that it has spent $195,000 at Trump's hotel since announcing its Sprint merger that needed federal approval. Before the merger, execs had spent just two nights at Trump's hotel. Since then, T-Mobile execs have spent at least 52 nights.

Jerome Corsi and InfoWars retract and apologise for spreading the Seth Rich DNC murder conspiracy theory:
"Dr. Corsi acknowledges that his allegations were not based upon any independent factual knowledge."

Despite the apology, however, at least three other Corsi posts making the same conspiratorial claims about Seth Rich’s murder remain on the InfoWars website.

The family instigated defamation litigation must be getting close... either that or those letters yesterday included Corsi...

He's doubled down on birthism though

Every time I see a Trump tweet screenshot, I have to head to twitter to check that it is genuine.

Is he any more worried now than at any point in the last 6 months? Its not a case of "if" he is guilty, it is more a case of will his guilt be sufficient to boot him out of the job, or massively reduce his chances of a second term? I'm doubtful that he will be impeached, as much as I would love to see him squirm under impeachment hearings, I just feel as though they'll try to come up with a better way out for Trump.

Powerful stuff! I wonder what the Republican Party is thinking now?

The Dems have enough here to continue with a steady drip of bad news and ongoing investigations all the way to the next election...

The worrying thing is that his base really do not seem to care in the slightest. He can't do wrong in their eyes.

But surely the rest of the GOP realise that in either supporting Trump or at least keeping quiet, they're doing massive damage to their party? Or maybe they truly do not care either?
