The media will tell people that The Boston Globe was sold by The New York Times for $70 million, which was a loss, because The New York Times bought it for $1.1 billion.

John W. Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club, bought the newspaper.
Funnily enough, it turns out that NEWSWEEK sold for $1 in 2010 to Sidney Harman.

Newsweek was sold by The Washington Post for $1 to Sidney Harman and Harman Media.

I personally think Trump is mixing these examples up.

On December 31, 2018, Josh Gerstein at Politico published the article "Suspect's Twitter messages played role in NSA hacking-tools leak probe".

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
"Messages that the former NSA computer security specialist, Hal Martin, sent via Twitter appear to have led to an FBI raid on his Maryland home and to his arrest on charges of retaining a vast trove of classified information there without permission."

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
For reference, Harold T. Martin III was arrested on August 27, 2016 after the Shadow Brokers initiated a hunt within the National Security Agency, where they found 16 years worth of classified information.

Since @jimsciutto doesn't understand that Christopher Steele was hired in June 2016 and the contract between Fusion GPS and Free Beacon ended before then, and that the first memo was written for June 20, 2016, I will explain it:

Christopher Steele was hired to write the dossier.
The fact that @CNN and @jimsciutto keep saying that Republicans funded the dossier would join with @Comey's idea that Republicans funded the dossier, which is completely incorrect.
You know, it's not the first time @jimsciutto has claimed that parts of the dossier have been verified. This was back in February 2017 though. I wonder who his source is?

"The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI's Cyber Division and its Washington Field Office, the DOJ's National Security Division, and US Attorney's Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation..."
"... but the FBI never requested access to the DNC's computer servers", Eric Walker, the DNC's deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email.

Quote is from Ali Watkins' BuzzFeed News article from January 4, 2017, "The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers".

💰TaxFraud💰

NYS Tax Dept reviewing fraud allegations involving Trump

The Trumps’ tax maneuvers show a pattern of deception.

Trump by age 3, earned $200k a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. In his 40s & 50s, he rec’d +$5M a year.
💰TaxFraud2💰

That ‘small loan’ of $1 million was actually at least $60.7 million — much of it never repaid

Fred Trump wove a safety net that rescued his son from one bad bet after another

The Trumps turned an $11 million loan debt into a legally questionable tax write-off
💰TaxFraud3💰

Father and son set out to create the myth of a self-made billionaire

Trump tried to change his ailing father’s will, setting off a family reckoning

The Trump parents dodged hundreds of millions in gift taxes by grossly undervaluing the assets they would pass on

In just fifteen minutes a full day of #techhearings begins. This morning Jack Dorsey, Sheryl Sandberg, and an empty chair (representing Google) will testify before the Senate Intel Committee. Later today Jack Dorsey will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
I'll be live-tweeting both #techhearings today. If you'd like to follow along here are some handy resources to help you get the most out of them, starting with the post I wrote previewing today's hearings for @mmfa. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/09/0…
This morning's #techhearing is on social media companies' responses to foreign influence operations. Expect it to be a more subdued affair with less partisan theater and more on-topic questions. @MarkWarner & @SenatorBurr tend to keep things on track & nonpartisan.

#QAnon #JaredCohen led Google in donating $3 million to create a database system to connect 65 independent hotlines used to report human trafficking.
#QAnon #Clinton #IranIsNext "Clinton protected Cohen" when Obama asked why he wasn't fired? Who is the good guy in this?
Well.....not sure these are two I would want supporting me:
"Cohen and Schmidt’s book, The New Digital Age, appeared in 2013, with glowing blurbs from Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright. "

Clearly horrific sexual abuse is NOT equitable to methane poisoning, or the cascading crises arising from accelerating global climate change. My goal is to point out, @GlobeNewsEd & @billmckibben, a pattern of dysfunctional dismissal behavior by #BostonGlobe in service to POWER.
1. The problem being belittled by @BostonGlobe went on & was ignored for a very looooong time.
2. Those people attempting to call attention to the severe ethical problem were sneered at, considered annoying, dismissed as "hysterical" crazies by the "professionals" at @BostonGlobe
3. The entity being questioned is deeply entrenched within multiple echelons & sectors of institutional power: legal, cultural, political, economic, religious ("we have a right & obligation to maintain our blowdriers, toaster ovens, Galaxy C-5s ... ")
