"...shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation – including unlawful coordination with the Trump campaign, repeated & willful self-dealing...functioning as little more than a checkbook for Trump’s business & political interests."
"Today’s stipulation accomplishes a key piece of the relief sought in our lawsuit...We’ll continue to move our suit forward to ensure the Trump Foundation & directors are held accountable for their clear & repeated violations of the law." -@NewYorkStateAG

Trump attorney Alan Futerfas [who has represented the Bonanno, Colombo, Genovese, & Gambino crime families]: Contrary to NYAG’s statement, the Foundation has been seeking to distribute its remaining assets to worthwhile charitable causes [LOL] since 2016.
I suppose Pam Bondi is one of the Trump Foundation's "worthwhile charitable causes" mob lawyer Alan Futerfas is referring to...
Background THREAD on @NewYorkStateAG's lawsuit against Trump's sham foundation and possible criminal charges which may be facing the foundation and its vile directors: Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka, and Eric.

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

"If things go the way Trump plans...he will be the first big-time developer since Stalin to attach his name to high-rise towers in Moscow." -@MoscowTimes, 1996

Amazing how each of Trump's presidential runs [1988, 2000, 2016] coincided with a proposed Trump Tower Moscow project.

Trump is still talking today about declaring a phony national emergency to fund his border wall, which would take billions of dollars away from our troops and defense priorities AND violate the Constitution.

Feckin' eejit.
Per @BillKristol: Trump declaring a phony national emergency to fund his border wall could provoke a constitutional crisis that would lead to resignations of civilian & military senior officials, if Trump sought to use the military illegally...👇

(Thread) Trump is doing it on purpose.

I wrote about sadopopulism earlier this week ()

@kepashos59 asked “Do you think Trump is purposefully doing this? Or it is it instinctual?”

Answer: I think both.
1/ Yale professor and author of How Fascism Works, @jasonintrator, thinks Trump acts purposefully: “Trump is cynically using a set of fascist tactics to gain and maintain power,” he said.


At the same time, it's easy to see that Trump is a natural.
2/ One fascist tactic is to clear away facts and create myth.

Timothy Snyder, another Yale professor, says Trump “naturally and gracefully inhabits a world of fiction.”

For Trump, there IS no truth. It's all a lie.

Very little of what President Trump is laying out here is true. He operated the Trump Foundation like a grift for three decades and that's why it was dissolved. And there's still a NYS AG lawsuit pending that will adjudicate all of this. The fact pattern: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
The president housed the Trump Foundation in Trump Tower. It had no dedicated office space or staff. It was a mailing address. So of course he took "NO fees, rent, salaries, etc." There were no salaries or rent to pay. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
But no need to believe me. Read @Fahrenthold on the topic: pulitzer.org/winners/david-…

Thread: At what point does a federal agency (finally) suspend (or propose for debarment) the Trump Organization? We first raised this issue between the 2016 election & the 2017 inauguration, in light of the $25m Trump University fraud settlement. govexec.com/excellence/pro…
/2 Worth revisiting the topic, in light of the dissolution of the Trump Charitable Foundation, following allegations of a "a shocking pattern of illegality,... repeated and willful self-dealing...[&] clear and repeated violations of state and federal law." ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
/3 Of course, the Trump University and Trump Foundation are the tip of the iceberg. Of course, many of the other investigations are unrelated to the Trump Organization’s BUSINESS practices, but not necessarily the ownership/leadership of the Trump Org. wired.com/story/mueller-…

Trump is the head of an organized crime family - from the Trump Foundation w a pattern of persistent illegal conduct, occurring over more than a decade, to his sale of a Palm Beach estate worth $41M to a Russian oligarch for $95M & paying off sex partners w the National Enquirer
We let Putin & the GOP put a criminal in charge of the country.

Trump admitted on Fox that he's had "many friends" caught up in criminal activity

Former Trump Organization EVP, Barbara Res, says she heard Trump ask security: “Would you kill for me?”
Trump ruins people for revenge. His lawyers wouldn't meet alone w him. Cohen & @OMAROSA knew to tape.

Here, Trump heard 10 seconds of information about someone & Trump says:

"Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career."

Like a mob boss
