"The Trump Foundation was a shell corporation that functioned as a checkbook from which Trump Org made payments- using other people's money." Trump gave instructions to his CFO Allen Weisselberg, who then directed Trump Org controller, Jeffrey McConney, to cut a check.

Per @NewYorkStateAG's suit filed in JUN: Trump illegally used the foundation’s charitable assets to pay off legal obligations, promote Trump businesses, purchase personal items, and at Trump’s behest, provide extensive support to his 2016 campaign.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

Trump's biggest weapon is his RHETORIC.
The fevered rallies, capitulation of @SenateGOP, press manipulation, Twitter - ALL rhetoric. There is a machine coordinating the rhetoric across @GOP leadership & media to galvanize his power.
I'm going to tell you how to defeat it. /1
2/ Punch back directly at the semantics & re-orient their meaning. Do this WITHOUT outrage. If you do it from outrage, you will lose. You will.
What do I mean by this?
I'll give you an example with a single word: MOB.
Guess what? That's the word I've been using for nearly 2 yrs.
3/ It has worked unbelievably well to punch a narrative through the noise of Twitter. I am an anonymous account, & I have gone from 0 followers to over 50k because of that one, 3-letter word. Because of it's potency.
MOB
I can & have tied it right to Donald with his own history.

MORE thoughts on the NY A.G.'s suit v. the Trump foundation: Right at the top, she lays the blame on Don Jr, Ivanka, & Eric (and DJT) The papers say they "ignored their responsibilities" including making sure the assets "under their care are not used for personal benefit." 1/
2/ Again naming the adult children, the suit says the foundation acted "in a persistently illegal manner" and accuses all the respondents of "dereliction of duty."
3/ The suit says the foundation was a "shell corporation that functioned as a checkbook" from which the Trump Org made payments, i.e. the walls between the business, the campaign and the fndn were thin to nonexistent

*NEW* @NewYorkStateAG filing: "the Trump Foundation was a shell corporation that functioned as a checkbook," used to benefit Trump's business and political interests.

Here's the full filing, opposing Trump's motion to dismiss AG Underwood's lawsuit: ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
The filing (opposing Trump's motion to dismiss) includes a good rundown of the ways Trump willfully used the foundation to fund his political and business activities - from the Iowa fundraiser, to the infamous $10k Mar-A-Lago painting, and more.
AG Underwood also responds to Trump's claims that he's protected by the Supremacy Clause (spoiler: he's not).
