This is going to get so much worse for Trump. Cohen has more to say. Manafort's 2nd trial closely tied to campaign and Trump. Flynn sentencing delay suggests he's still talking.
For those still defending Trump, I'm reminded of an old disaster management saying:

"When the waters recede, run for the hills." 2/
It's a warning to those living in coastal areas that a tsunami is coming. The waters are not going quietly away, they are receding to gather strength. 3/

A little history. This misuse of data is not just lies. Coming from the Department of Homeland Security, they undermine any notion that that Department would give valid information in a real crisis, leading to distrust of local,state and fed govt efforts.1/
After 9/11, federal gov. reformed dramatically including creating @DHSgov. Lots of errors in that process, but a guiding principal is that DHS would manage the complicated interagency and intergovernmental (local, state, tribal, territorial) in a crisis. HSPD-5 was born. 2/
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 is (for those of us in the field) our mandate during a crisis. It provides an incident command framework to help guide planning across a complicated homeland enterprise (other agencies, state/local, private sector, international). 3/

Stories this weekend lead to unmistakeable conclusion that Kushner is compromised (debt) and immoral ("weather the storm" re Saudis), but also that he's in deep trouble. Both IC and LE communities are making that clear.
Kushner is going to have one hell of a week. #No1inlaw 1/
Look at all the forces in Saudi story against him. Members of intelligence. John Kelly who Kushner hated b/c he wanted to curb Kushners abuse of process & potential to be manipulated. And of course anti MBS forces in Saudi who see alliance as careless princes playing games. 2/
Here is story. nytimes.com/2018/12/08/wor… 3/

Some history on our homeland security, borders and threats because this below is important point. Border closings have occurred in past. But even Pres Bush in the weeks after the real threat of 9/11 knew the impact of border closures. 1/
This story takes place in the Oval Office in early October 2001. Airports are open but the backlog at land border crossings with Mexico and Canada are extreme, impacting commerce particularly. Produce going bad. Auto parts delayed. All countries harmed. Etc etc. 2/
Bush calls Tom Ridge into his office. Ridge had just resigned as Gov of Pennsylvania and was the first homeland security advisor. There is no DHS at this time. Remember 3000 Americans are dead from attack by foreign terrorists. . 3/

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

#Manafort's Virginia trial begins today—1st of 2 for Trump's Campaign Manager whose shady work for pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine were well known. Mueller team will tell this story thru 18 counts of financial crimes. They'll likely also establish debt/cash flow problems by 2016.
#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9
#Manafort Trial: Mueller Team Opening Statement Paints Manafort as "shrewd liar," rich cheat & thief who acted above the law. Mind-blowing resemblance betw Manafort & disgraced patron Yanukovych, who also happens to be on trial now—for treason in Ukraine. cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
