Good morning. I was expecting to see a filing from Paul Manafort's attys in DC last night. Recall the court set a deadline for defense attys to respond to claims by prosecutors that he breached his plea deal by lying. Nothing was filed. But last week, over in Va...
The presentence investigation report for Manafort was filed. Under seal. Which was expected as things are sorted out in DC. Manafort's team missing the deadline to respond in DC last night could be a sign of further negotiations going on..
under seal or it could be as simple as missing the deadline. (it happens). Perhaps we will see that DC filing come in today.
The snapshots below show the latest activity in USDC EDVA (where Manafort stood trial last year) and what comes up for the PSIR entry.
Note: Manafort is scheduled to be sentenced in Va in early Feb.

At the Richmond Hwy pop up, the line of federal employees picking up food this morning was more than 30 people deep and more were coming and going as I shopped.

This is not American greatness.

I would hate to burst anyone's bubble but the likelihood that *all* of those standing in line for food were only Democrats? Very low. So miss me with those patently ridiculous, ignorant statements. Your fellow *Americans* are now lining up for food assistance due to the shutdown.
History will not look kindly on this. And voters who had to hold their child's hand in a parking lot while they waited for food before a snowstorm? They will remember this.
I have lived with food insecurity. I remember every day.

I also want to address some nuance behind POTUS claims about the southern border being a massive pipeline for drugs.
1/4
“Our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs, including meth, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl. Every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90 percent of which floods across from our southern border,” Trump said.
2/4
The flow percentage is largely correct. But note this: last month, the bipartisan Congressional Research Service noted in its own updated study on heroin trafficking, drug traffickers transport the majority of their goods in trucks and cars thru legal ports of entry.

Trump notes the wall and the $5.7B for funding is what "our professionals want and need." This does not take into account those individuals who don't want the border. You know, non-professionals. Where is mention of their representation?
1/3
Well, a survey that was conducted only today found that 72 percent of those surveyed preferred the use of programs like E-Verify to help employers determine whether staff are working in the U.S. legally over more $$ for a border wall.

Good morning :)
I've been writing a psychological thriller, and I was talking to a friend last night about crime story engines. So here's a thread of tips on writing crime thrillers.
I found a couple of useful articles about it. Many of these tips are condensed from this excellent article by @HunterEmkay :

And a crime thriller is not like a conventional Hero's Journey arc. If you'd like some direction on that, you could check out this plotting diagram by @MattReesAuthor :

Manafort flipped. This is the "statement of the offenses" in which Manafort confesses to doing the crimes...

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
This first count #Manafort admits to is violation of 18 USC § 371, "Conspiracy Against the United States."

What does that mean? He conspired to commit a crime against the US or to defraud the US:
A conspiracy, definitionally, requires more than one conspirator. Who did Manafort conspire with? The first paragraph dealing with Count 1 names Richard Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik "and others"

Paul Manafort was a "sex addict" who made his wife have sex with other men while he watched. His daughters were not please, his wife hated it.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
