NEW: Michael Cohen made a previously unreported $50,000 payment to a mysterious tech company to help Trump's 2016 presidential campaign cnb.cx/2MMmHrQ
Here's the prosecutor's document, where the payment is described on page 16: documentcloud.org/documents/4779…
This is almost certainly not Cambridge Analytica, a company that was paid on the books by the Trump campaign. This is money Cohen spent, that was never reported as a campaign expense, and that Trump Org reimbursed.

My favorite Mattis story: Christmas Day 1998. Brigadier General Mattis learned that a young Marine on watch duty that day had a wife and little kids. So Mattis volunteered to take his place, and spent the day manning a guard gate at Quantico so the Marine could be w his family.
Asked what he was doing, Mattis said “I looked at the duty roster for today and a young major had it who is married and had a family; I’m a bachelor, I thought why should the major miss out on the fun of having Christmas with his family, and so I took the duty for him.”

Whoa. Michael Avenatti's client, Julie Swetnik, alleges in a sworn statement that she saw Kavanaugh waiting in a line outside a bedroom for his turn to gang rape a young women, and that Swetnik was drugged and gang raped at a party Kavanaugh attended.
More: "I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be “gang raped” in a side room or bedroom by a “train” of numerous boys."
BRK: Potentially the most damning line of the entire affidavit: "have firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting their “turn” with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh."

Mike Pence just publicly congratulated Martha McSally for winning the #AZSen GOP primary.

None of the ballot counts have been announced in that race.

Pence deleted the tweet, but here it is. NYT live results showed 0% of AZ precincts reporting when he sent it.
McSally held the lead from day 1, so this was a safe tweet for Pence's team to prepare. But to prematurely fire it off to more than 3 million followers, in a year when election integrity is front-and-center, was a pretty significant mistake. Not a conspiracy, mind you. A mistake.
PS- The app I use for Twitter, called Tweeten, does not show any verification check marks on opened tweets (Ex: The WaPo tweet below). McSally congrats came from Pence's campaign account, which has 3.32 million followers.

🔥WHOA🔥

THREAD: Michael Cohen made a previously unreported $50,000 payment to an unknown tech company to help Trump's 2016 campaign.🤨

Was this $50,000 used to make "deniable cash payments" to hackers, as reported in the #SteeleDossier⁉️ 1/

cnbc.com/2018/08/22/mic…
Buried in Cohen's legal documents, prosecutors say Cohen paid $50,000 for work "solicited from a technology company during and in connection with the campaign."🔥

The campaign *never reported* the $50,000 expense, and Cohen was reimbursed by Trump Org.🤨

Both = ILLEGAL‼️2/
WHO the tech company is & WHAT they did are not provided.🤔

Cohen had bank records for other expenses, but only provided a HANDWRITTEN sum for the $50,000, suggesting that the money may not have been paid out via "traditional" financial channels (meaning: CASH pay-offs).🙄 3/

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
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
