The State of the Union:
Trump owned the shutdown.
And Pelosi owns Trump.
Actually, Putin owns Trump.
But Pelosi is now living rent-free in Trump's head. It's empty, so plenty of room for her furniture.
I used to be dismissive of declarations that a particular day was a “turning point.”
Not today.
The Mueller appointment, raid of Michael Cohen, and Nov 8th were turning points.
Today is a turning point.

Akhmetshin is a former Soviet spy who lobbies for Russian oligarchs and money launderers against sanctions... who just happens to meet Kushner, Jr, and Manafort in Trump Tower.
Why on earth is a Trump campaign insider paying him big money in 2016-17?
buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/emmalo…
Follow the money. And this could be one of the first money exchanges from the Trump world to Russian agents during the campaign. Could be a significant thread.
More crazy coincidences: Trumpers Lanny and Susie Wiles are linked to Veselnitskaya, too: washingtonpost.com/politics/russi…
3/ Remember this striking photo of Veselnitskaya behind Bill Browder while he testified in Congress in 2016?
Guess how she got that seat with the menacing photo-op view of Browder?

So many uncanny coincidences here: “The lobbyist also received a large payment that bank investigators deemed suspicious from Denis Katsyv, whose company Prevezon
was accused by DOJ of laundering the proceeds of a $230 million Russian tax fraud.” 1/
buzzfeednews.com/article/emmalo…
2/ Re-read my thread on Prevezon and Veselnitskaya’s Jan indictment for obstruction in its laundering case. I explain why the Trump Tower meeting was maybe a quid pro quo on sanctions, following @PaulManafort’s own notes. Akhmetshin payday adds more clues.
3/ “Akhmetshin may have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by failing to register as a foreign lobbyist for the network of clients whose money flowed his way.”
Note how other Russia co-conspirators have now been indicted for FARA felonies. Akhmetshin May be next.

⁦@jentaub⁩ on this episode of ⁦@MuellerSheWrote⁩ says Trump may have been “aiding and abetting” a hacking conspiracy.
The “Russia, if you’re listening” press conference + Stone indictment facts get closer & closer to aiding/abetting/soliciting. itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mue…
2/ I made a similar point on @donlemon @CNN last week. With more facts from newly discovered files, states potentially could charge Stone with soliciting/aiding/abetting hacking, trafficking stolen goods, making charges pardon-proof. Same for Trump: lawandcrime.com/legal-analysis…
3/ Link to video clip here:

Trump’s problem is that instead of writing Art of the Deal he should have read Art of War in which Sun Tzu advises that in battle, always leave your enemy a way out. For 2 years, he and the GOP refused compromise to give Dems an out. The only thing they can expect now is a fight.
IF Trump or the GOP had compromised, they could demand it back. They could at least portray themselves as people willing and capable if it. Instead, at every turn, they went for maximum gain without consideration for tomorrow. Two years of unfettered and uncompromising power.
It’s as if you have an enemy surrounded, but the enemy is still formidable... it wants to escape, but it is capable of fighting. The best idea per Art of War is to leave an escape route. Break the encirclement at some point. Make retreat more attractive than continued hostility.

(1) A #QAnon thread about U.S. Attorney John Huber, and the explosive prosecution effort he is heading, alongside DOJ IG Horowitz: in "Scope & Size" it is said to be the "biggest in history."
#GreatAwakening
(2) I'd like to begin with drop 60, from early November, 2017. Please pay attention to a vital aspect of #TheStorm: its secrecy and the compartmentalization of INTEL. Less than 10 people have the full picture. Much of the action is taking place in the shadows.

#QAnon
(3) This is also valid when it comes to the Judicial front of the operations; to the effort to bring the dangerous enemies to justice.

You mad, bro?

Apparently I am still living rent-free in @davidsirota’s head.

😂
Well, we agree on this, at least, David.
Look, I’m laughing because I can, but what David is doing here is trying to encourage his 118K followers to harass me.

He does the same thing to Neera Tanden and others.

He’s a bully, and, like all bullies, a coward at heart.

And it’s sad because he’s not an unintelligent guy.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
