1. What’s next for the most powerful unindicted co-conspirator in the world?

All eyes are on Mueller but the real action may be with the Attorney General of New York

Let's discuss.

popular.info/p/whats-next-f…
2. There was a key aspect to Michael Cohen's plea that hasn't gotten a ton of attention.

He says he was reimbursed for his illegal campaign contributions by the TRUMP ORGANIZATION

Trump's business is implicated in the illegal scheme

popular.info/p/whats-next-f…
3. New York law has a procedure that allows the Attorney General to bring an action to DISSOLVE a business which operates outside its corporate charter

Breaking the law qualifies

The New York AG already has an ongoing criminal investigation into Trump

popular.info/p/whats-next-f…
4. It just so happens that there is a candidate for the next New York Attorney General, Zephyr Teachout, who is an expert in public corruption and has promised to aggressively investigate Trump

popular.info/p/whats-next-f…
5. So Mueller can produce a report laying out grounds for impeachment (which Congress could ignore)

Or charge people Trump cares about w/serious crimes (who Trump could pardon)

The New York AG could hit Trump where it hurts and he's powerless to stop it

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

🌎Donald Trump—🌪️Roger Stone—🔥Paul Manafort—🌬️Roy Cohn

📃Part Two

🕵️‍♂️2008: Eliot Spitzer🕵️‍♂️

villagevoice.com/2010/10/05/eli…
🔍Months before the scandal became public, Roger Stone tipped the FBI in a letter (written by Stone’s attorney Paul Rolf Jensen) that then New York Governor and former Attorney General of New York Eliot Spitzer had a “thing” for prostitutes.
🔍In March of 2008, details of the scandal came out—complete with Stone’s intimate details that Spitzer wore black dress socks while having sex.

🧚‍♂️The myth of the black sox appeared to be invented by Roger Stone.

😬Meanwhile, Spitzer was forced to resign in disgrace.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

We must demand @SenateDems, @SenSchumer use #NoQuorum to delay #SCOTUS confirm. hearings.
Why?
> @WhiteHouse is witholding 100K pages on Kavanaugh's time in Bush WH. What are they hiding?
> New guilty plea in #Mueller probe 8/31. We must block confirmation b4 probe is complete.
How to fight this...
1. Call AND write yr senators every day, whether Republicans or Dems. Ask others to do the same. Demand there be no confirmation hearings before we see where the criminal probe of @realdonaldtrump leads.

call 202-224-3121 or text resist to 50409 - it's easy
2. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper voicing your opposition to Kavanaugh and explain your reasons why,
incl the new information about indictments in the ongoing criminal probe
AND
the failure to release pertinent Kavanaugh files

Great story on what's happening with Allen Weisselberg, Trump Org CFO and his immunity. #FridayFeeling

2/"Last month, the New York State Attorney General, Barbara Underwood, sued the Trump Foundation. Weisselberg had been deposed and showed a surprising willingness to give answers that put the President in an unflattering light. In January, 2016, during Trump’s Presidential
