“...one of his clients was 401 North Wabash Venture, LLC, the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Burke began representing Trump’s 92-story condo and hotel in 2006 and over the past decade he has saved (Trump) $14.1M in property taxes.” politico.com/magazine/story…
“When Burke’s tax objections were denied, he took Trump’s case to court. Burke’s firm filed six lawsuits against the Cook County treasurer, alleging that the Trump Tower’s assessment “is not based upon the fair market value of the property and is excessive, and is illegal...”
“In fact, Burke’s most recent suit was filed on May 31, 2017, four months after Trump was sworn in as president. So far, one suit has been dismissed, while the rest are still pending in Cook County Circuit Court.”

“When Le Pen needed cash for her party, an obscure Russian bank helped. 4 years later, the bank has gone bust...Former Ru military officers are demanding money. And the party’s treasurer sends $165k every few months to a woman in Moscow.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“Instead, the $12.2 million loan dragged her party into the shadowy underworld of Russian cross-border finance, putting it in league with people accused of having ties to Russian organized crime, money laundering and military operations.”
“Schaffhauser, looking for a loan for Le Pen, said he reconnected with Babakov through a mutual contact in the Russian Orthodox Church and arranged a meeting in mid-2014.”

New report on Russian disinformation, prepared for the Senate shows the operation’s scale & sweep washingtonpost.com/technology/201… A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation
used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Trump — & worked even harder to support him while in office.

The report, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the first to study
the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), its chairman, and Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), its ranking Democrat. The bipartisan panel hasn’t said whether it endorses the findings. It plans to release

📌New report on RU disinfo shows the depth & breadth of the operation’s scale and sweep
🚫MobsterPOTUS2🚫

📌The report is the first to analyze the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intel Committee.

📌”What is clear is that all of the RU disinfo/messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party & specifically Donald Trump,”
🚫MobsterPOTUS3🚫

📌Trump is mentioned most in campaigns targeting conservatives & RW voters, where the messaging encouraged these groups to support his campaign.

📌Oppo groups were then provided messaging that sought to confuse, distract & discourage them from voting.”

New report on Russian disinformation, prepared for the Senate, shows the operation’s scale and sweep washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Trump -- and worked even harder to support him while in office.
The research -- by Oxford University’s Computational Propaganda Project and Graphika, a network analysis firm -- offers new details on how Russians working at the Internet Research Agency . . . sliced Americans into key interest groups for the purpose of targeting messages.

The Harris/McCready #NC9 issue may be related to absentee ballots in #BladenCounty, so I thought it may be a good time to revisit the 2016 #Bladen Co. #elections. /THREAD

After the 2016 election, a spate of similarly-worded voter “protests” signed with the names of NC citizens and accusing other North Carolinians of fraud popped up across #NC.

See: facingsouth.org/2017/04/promin….
There was a hotly contested Gov. race, and it seemed unlikely that so many North Carolinians would use the *exact* same language on these forms, so I was concerned & started attending #NCSBOE meetings.

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter

Short thread on importance of even the smallest elections:
BEGIN
1) My small coastal town has 3 seats up for city council next month. #vote
2) Of those running for city council, 5 believe in climate change, 4 don't. All but 2 candidates GOP. 3/5 climate believers here GOP. #vote
3) Last city council election, only 20% registered Dems voted, because they saw majority of candidates were GOP and they dismissed them.
