Cohen just burned Gym Jordan's ass. Oh. My. Lord.

Jordan tries to claim Cohen is mad he didn't get a WH job.

Cohen responds "I can tell you a story about Mr. Trump reaming out Reince Priebus because I turned down a job working with Don McGahn."

Today is (fire emoji)!
Jordan tried to use his first 5-minute block of questioning to paint Cohen as a disgruntled and overlooked former staffer.

Cohen just introduced an entire new line of inquiry for reporters to pursue: Trump tried to bring his fixer into the White House...

Back. Fire. City.
...and Cohen provided multiple corroborating witnesses: Priebus, McGahn, and attorneys he brought in to inform Trump that his joining of the White House staff would sever his attorney-client privilege.

Jordan just had his attempted grenade shoved down his own question-hole.

Not sure if this was obvious or not but Michael Cohen turned over a very short list of documents but there was a subtext.

They were documents showing clear criminality.

Among those documents:

Financial statements from 2012-14 Trump used to seek a loan from Deutsche Bank.

1/
So, to put a very fine point on it:

Michael Cohen turned over to the House evidence he believes nails Trump for clear felonies.

And added subtext though:

A bank doesn’t generally dole out hundreds of millions in loans based solely on a borrower’s say-so.

2/
Deutsche Bank would have been negligent - potentially criminally so - if it hadn’t done its own due diligence on the accuracy of the loan application.

Banks don’t generally need to be prodded to vet applications.

Benign negligence would seem highly unlikely.

As I’ve said endlessly, when Mike Schmidt of the NYT is bylined on a story that includes Don McGahn, it nearly always follows a pattern:

- inculcates Trump in wrong-doing
- distances McGahn from the decision
- positions McGahn as the overruled voice of reason

1/2
I am very much of the belief that McGahn or a proxy is one of Schmidt’s sources for these stories.

I’m also of the beliefs:

1) McGahn is no dummy
2) He has covered his own a** well
3) He has cooperated/is cooperating with Mueller
4) He’ll escape unscathed
5) Trump won’t

2/2
Damnit. That was supposed to be “inculpates” in the first tweet.

Why does stupid ducking autocorrect change correct words to incorrect ones?!$?!$?

Elijah Cummings absolutely explodes about Jim Jordan’s accusation that this was how Dems chose to use their “first hearing”.

Absolutely ERUPTS about how the ACTUAL first hearing he chaired this session was about a woman dying because she couldn’t afford her insulin.

1/2
Punctuates his volcanic evisceration of Jordan without saying his name and with the closing dig:

“We can do more than one thing at a time... and with that, this meeting is adjourned.”

Find the clip. Explosive. Passionate.

The perfect end note to the day.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Mr. @POTUS #Trump the #MendocinoComplexFires now = LARGEST in #California history, yet you haven't shown a modicum of compassion or concern. Rather, you've made bizarrely blamed "bad environmental laws," failure to chop down trees & water dumping.
Let's look at reality:

1.) Western America is historically prone to drought cycles, but the last 20 yrs have broken all records. Groundwater is no longer replenished, and year-2-yr changes are visible from Space. (red = 100% loss of ground H20) [more]

2.) Temperatures are soaring, with mean seasonal heat higher annually. California, to put it in your simple terms @realDonaldTrump , is getting HOTTER.

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
