Why is Ivanka Trump -- who has absolutely no background or experience in international affairs and national security matters -- officially representing the United States at the Munich Security Conference to begin with?
This is the general approach you take when you aren't qualified to sit in the chair: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A reminder that Ivanka -- like her older brother and her father -- has trouble with basic math: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Manafort sentencing memo, here: documentcloud.org/documents/5747…
Those Manafort duped, per the sentencing memo, included “Members of Congress, and members of the executive branch of the United States government."
“For over a decade, Manafort repeatedly and brazenly violated the law. His crimes continued up through the time he was first indicted in Oct. 2017 and remarkably went unabated even after indictment.”

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, met last month with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, offering information about possible irregularities within the president’s family business and about a donor to the inaugural committee. nyti.ms/2GEXqNG?smid=n…
“The prosecutors recently sought to interview Trump Organization executives, according to a person briefed on the request, which was previously reported by CNN. The nature of the questions they were seeking to ask was not known.”
To the extent that Cohen brings prosecutors closer to Allen Weisselberg and Jason Greenblatt, it gets even more interesting:

“Rich donors and companies that had assumed Trump had no chance of winning saw the inaugural as a last-chance opportunity to be generous, according to a person familiar with the fundraising effort.” Via ⁦@CalebMelby⁩ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Ticketing procedures for the inaugural were handled by Laurance Gay, who’d previously worked with Manafort and Gates in political consulting. Frank Mermoud, who had Ukrainian business ties and knew Gates, oversaw participation by diplomats.”
“A team reporting to inaugural chairman Thomas Barrack came up with more than 60 questions and answers to circulate among themselves. One question was particularly tricky:

‘What did Rick Gates have to do with PIC?’’ staffers wrote in a late January draft. ‘[Need answer.]’”

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

Collusion is worse than a crime.
To debate whether Trump acted criminally is to miss the greater point: He’s a national security threat

“It’s a crime for a US presidential campaign knowingly to receive or even solicit anything of value from any foreign entity.”
⚖️Justice2⚖️

“It’s a crime for anyone, camp’n or not, to knowingly receive stolen data.”

“receiving stolen data triggers a complex nexus of crimes, both state & fed.”

DonJr, Kush, Manafort & other top 45 aides met with Veselnitskaya RIS spy offering damaging info re HRC.

“CrossfireHurricane began with SIGINT supplied by NSA & allied intelligence services. This happened BEFORE any drunken boasting was tipped off to FBI. Some of this intelligence included suspicious money movements into US political campaigns...”
