Once upon the time, the Trump Inaugural had supposedly been externally audited.

apnews.com/0756ba74804448…

We never saw that audit.

Then, the Trump Inaugural had supposedly been *internally and independently* audited.

propublica.org/article/trump-…

We never saw that audit.

Now, news orgs get documents that "account for" all $100+ million of inaugural spending.

nytimes.com/2019/01/14/us/…

Here's my question:

What happened to the supposed audits?

And, while we're on the subject...

3/4
...isn't there reportedly a federal criminal investigation into the Inaugural now?

If so, in theory, it would be a very bad thing for everyone involved if those books turn out to be cooked.

Here's the DOJ press release on the Paul Erickson money laundering and wire fraud indictment. He was indicted yesterday, pleaded not guilty today, and has been released on bond.
1/2
Although prosecutors repeatedly referenced someone who appeared to be Erickson as Maria Butina's alleged co-conspirator, these charges appear on the surface to be wholly unrelated to the Butina case:

justice.gov/usao-sd/pr/sio…
That said... there are references to someone with the initials "M.B." and a payment to American University... so who knows...

(uh... 3/2 i guess?)

Awww, u mad?
Unclassified Director of National Intelligence Report this week says for the first time that China and Russia can cut portions of the US electrical grid or power supply at will.
We interviewed a WSJ energy reporter about it Wed night – which caused RT, Sputnik, and Wikileaks to all freak out over our coverage.

It’s so weird to see what hits their alarm bells.

"There are few things Putin desires more than the weakening of NATO, the military alliance among the US, Europe and Canada that has deterred Soviet and Russian aggression for 70 years. Last year, Trump suggested a move tantamount to destroying NATO: the withdrawal of the US...
"A move to withdraw from the alliance, in place since 1949, 'would be one of the most damaging things that any president could do to U.S. interests,' said Michèle A. Flournoy, an undersecretary of defense under President Barack Obama..."
“'It would destroy 70-plus years of painstaking work across multiple administrations... to create perhaps the most powerful and advantageous alliance in history,' Ms. Flournoy said. 'And it would be the wildest success that Vladimir Putin could dream of...'

☎️Lorber☎️

DonJr.'s blocked phone calls ahead of the 2016 TT meeting went to longtime Trump fam friends: Brian France & Howard Lorber.

Lorber is one of Trump's BFFs, one of his top advisers, big fundraiser & a long-term partner with Trump in trying to develop a TT in Moscow.
☎️Lorber☎️

📌Lorber’s Vector Group made a "seven-figure" investment in Steven Calk’s bank.

📌Calk’s bank loaned Manafort 16M in mortgage loans.

📌Of course Lorber sued Calk 💰💦

📌Calk and Lorber were both named to Trump’s economic advisory council on Aug. 5, 2016.
☎️Lorber4☎️

Correction: Lorber donated 235k to Trump’s campaign.

Michael Cohen’s brother Bryan works for Douglas Elliman—Lorber is chairman

Barr confirmation vote delayed after Democrats raise Mueller report concerns

Is Steve Schmidt the new Tad Devine [Manafort & Bernie]?

Once upon a time, I was a worship leader at a local church, after having been in music ministry since I was 15. I had helped transform their music ministry with my gifts and time

Then they kicked me out. And that was how I became #Exvangelical. It wasn't originally voluntary.
We had been at this church for 3 years after moving here. We were active, part of a small group we "did life with". 3 kids in the children's ministry. I was the pianist and a vocalist, alternated leading worship with the other leader, a man. We were happy, they were our family.
During a study I was leading in my home, I mentioned that I wasn't complementarian but believed in equality between husband and wife. Our marriage was egalitarian, I gave Bible verses that supported my position. 1 friend apparently felt threatened by this new info.

Once upon a time, there was a prince named Gabriel who lived in a shrinking kingdom. A blight had swept in from the east, withering plants, sickening animals, and fouling the water. It left behind a great waste where nothing would grow and no one could survive.
For years, the king held audience with anyone who claimed to be able to halt the spread of the blight and restore life to the waste, but no one—from farmers with knowledge of the land, to sorcerers with arcane magics—could find a solution.
Rumor held that a powerful faerie had cursed the kingdom over a slight, real or perceived, and that was why no human magic could reverse the devastation. People were forced from their homes. Some fled west, toward the capital at the foot of the mountains, some to other countries.

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
