The unnamed “Person 2” in the #RogerStone indictment is my friend: comic and journalist #RandyCredico. I’ve been in constant contact with Credico for two years as Stone tried to bully him into perjury. gregpalast.com/roger-stone-in…
Trump stooge Stone is a bucket of pus. And he lied to the House Intelligence Committee, as the indictment states. But, frankly, this is small potatoes, not evidence of collusion with Russia. In fact it's evidence of Stone’s slapstick, self-promoting failed attempts to collude.
What concerns me is that the #RogerStone indictment reveals Mueller’s real targets are what he terms “Organization 1,” @Wikileaks, and #JulianAssange. gregpalast.com/roger-stone-in…

BREAKING: #Illinois Drops #InterstateCrosscheck Voter Purge Program — But Our Lawsuit Continues! gregpalast.com/illinois-drops… #StopTheSteal
The @RevJJackson and I are co-plaintiffs in a lawsuit against #Illinois over the use of #Crosscheck. The action would require the state to reveal the reasons for the removal of each of 550,000 voters purged from the Illinois voter rolls in 2017. gregpalast.com/greg-palast-an…
While I applaud #Illinois dropping this ugly, racist purge program, we will not rest until the thousands of voters wrongly removed have had their rights restored. Support our work by making a tax-deductible donation: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopTheStealA… #StopTheSteal #StopCrossCheck

#BREAKING: NY AG Barbara Underwood secures a stipulation dissolving the Trump Foundation under judicial supervision, w/ AG review to ensure charitable $ goes to reputable orgs. This is a key piece of the relief sought in her June suit.

The AG's suit remains ongoing.
Underwood: "Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality...Trump Foundation functioned as little more than a checkbook to serve Trump's business & political interests."

Ongoing suit still seeks millions in restitution & penalties, bar on Trump & kids serving on boards.
Full details here: ag.ny.gov/press-release/…

#BREAKING: @NewYorkStateAG Underwood just won her suit against the Trump administration for withholding public safety $ in an attempt to punish sanctuary jurisdictions. Statement TK. Here’s AG Underwood’s original suit over these Byrne-JAG grants: ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
Here’s the decision: ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
Statement from AG Underwood:

“As we argued, local law enforcement has the right to decide how to meet their local public safety needs – and the Trump administration simply does not have the right to require state and local police to act as federal immigration agents.“

#BREAKING: @NewYorkStateAG Underwood just filed suit against Exxon for defrauding investors regarding the financial risk posed to the company by climate change regs. An extensive investigation found an alleged fraudulent scheme that reached the highest levels of the company.
@NewYorkStateAG Details: ag.ny.gov/press-release/…

Read the full complaint: ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
Seems like a good time to remind everyone that multiple courts rejected Exxon's attempts to block @NewYorkStateAG's investigation as "political." A federal judge called Exxon's efforts "legal jiu jitsu," "implausible," "a wild stretch of logic," and a "huge waste" of time and $.

#BREAKING Burnaby RCMP have descended on Camp Cloud and begun arresting protesters. Soon after this video was taken police told me and one other member of the media to leave the area and threatened us with arrest. #bcpoli #cdnpoli
Dozens of cops pulled up suddenly shortly after 5 am and began arresting everyone in sight. Two have been taken away on sitting stretchers. Seemingly for resisting arrest. #CampCloud #TransMountain #bcpoli #cdnpoli
A small gathering of supporters is watching on as police clear Camp Cloud. At least four arrests have been made.

#BREAKING : Energy Fuels Inc., the company which encouraged Trump to decrease the size of Bears Ears National Monument, in Utah -- which he did -- has had business dealings with none other than Uranium One & Uranium One profits off of royalties from Energy Fuels! (Thread (1))
As reported today by @eilperin of the @washingtonpost - Energy Fuels "urged the Trump administration to limit the monument to the smallest size needed to protect key objects" and "to make it easier to access the radioactive ore." (2) washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
For all the talk about the bogus Hillary Clinton / Uranium One deal, this could be one of the reasons why Trump has pushed the Uranium One Conspiracy so hard. Energy Fuels, Inc. has had business dealings directly with Uranium One (a company owned partially by Russians) (3)
