1. There are hundreds of individual elections in 2018

The most important one may be this Thursday: the Democratic Primary for Attorney General of New York

The New York AG has extraordinary powers to hold Trump & his associates accountable

Let’s discuss

popular.info/p/this-could-b…
2. There is a provision in NY law that allows the AG to dissolve the Trump organization if it operates outside of its corporate charted — by, for example, participating in criminal activity

Michael Cohen recently implicated the Trump Org in 2 felonies popular.info/p/this-could-b…
3. While anyone who Mueller or other federal prosecutors convict can be pardoned by Trump.

The NY Attorney General can convict the same people and Trump can’t do anything

This could become even more important if Trump ousts Mueller

4. The key to uncovering crime in NY is a thorough investigation of the real estate industry. It’s a Petri dish of fraud, money laundering and corruption

One of the charges against Manafort was laundering money through a Brooklyn brownstone

While there are a couple of strong candidates, and all of them have vowed to take on Trump, @ZephyrTeachout won the @nytimes endorsement because she’s refusing to take $ from the real estate industry

She’s also an expert in public corruption

6. More on the New York Attorney General’s race — and why it’s key to provide a meaningful check on Trump’s power — in my newsletter, Popular Information.

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
