1. This wasn't even major news yesterday but the latest developments in the Stormy Daniels cases would be a DEBILITATING, ALL-CONSUMING SCANDAL in any other administration

popular.info/p/a-debilitati…
2. On April 5, 2018, Trump stood on Air Force One and said he knew NOTHING about the 130K hush money payment to Stormy Daniels

It's worth watching the video again. He pretends to be completely clueless

We now know the truth

popular.info/p/a-debilitati…
3. The truth is, Trump not only knew about the payment, HE WAS PERSONALLY ORCHESTRATING THE EFFORT TO SILENCE DANIELS

This wasn't a white lie. It was a lie to cover up his involvement in an illegal scheme to silence a woman about an affair

popular.info/p/a-debilitati…
4. It gets worse. Trump enlisted THE RESOURCES OF HIS COMPANY, including his son Eric, to execute the scheme.

This could mean big trouble for the Trump Organization

Cohen has already pleaded guilty to a felony for his involvement

5. Under New York law, the Attorney General has the power to seek dissolution of the Trump Organization for involvement in criminal acts.

Eric seems like he's in a legal trouble too.

And yet, it barely registers.

6. Lots more of the latest developments in the Stormy Daniels scandal. Which is a big deal and should be treated as one, in my newsletter.

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

1/ I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. It's hardly news that Trump directed the hush money to Stormy Daniels. Duh. Indeed, although he obviously would've paid her off anyway even if he hadn't been running for POTUS, it's surely reasonable to surmise ...
@just_security
2/ ... that the payment was *higher* because of the election. I doubt Trump realized that was a campaign finance violation, but let's also assume arguendo that he knew or suspected it was illegal and didn't really care--that he was indifferent to what the law prohibited.
3/ No doubt, such indifference to law ain't a good thing in a President. And yes, it would mean Trump is, at least in theory, criminally culpable for soliciting or conspiring to violate the law. OK, but what would follow from that?

Just to state the obvious: This is largest confrontation between #Israel and #Syria since 1973; the first time #Iran and the IRGC themselves launched missiles at #Israel. Expect even more.
With all the targeting in Damascus #Syria, expect #Israel to go after the main IRGC headquarters near the Damascus Airport. Around 1,000 IRGC tend to be stationed there, along with senior leadership.
Suggestion: If you thought what the US did in response to the April CW attack in #Syria was strong, fasten your seat belts.

(thread) New developments in the Stormy Daniels case.

I'll update this thread as new info comes in.

First, the background: Oct. 2016, #MichaelCohen, Trump’s lawyer worked with Stormy Daniel's lawyer #KeithDavidson to arranged for Stormy to sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA).
2/ In Jan 2018, someone leaked the agreement.

Cohen, allegedly using “intimidation and coercive tactics, forced [Stormy] to sign a false statement” denying an affair with Trump. dropbox.com/s/ocvnkwprbs7e…
Presumably Stormy was still represented by Keith Davidson.
3/ Cohen then issued a public statement about the hush agreement, prompting Trump supporters to unleash a torrent of “ridicule and threats” against Stormy—but she defend herself because of the NDA.

(general info about Cohen’s NDA here: )
