In Oct 2016, FoxNews reporter Diana Falzone had proof of Trump's 2006 affair with Stormy Daniels AND of Trump/Cohen's hush money offer. Fox execs killed her story. “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Trump to win. Let it go.”

Despite the discouragement, Falzone kept investigating, and discovered that the National Enquirer, in partnership with Trump, had made a “catch and kill” deal with Daniels. Fox News execs killed that story too, and in Jan 2017, demoted Falzone.

Right, Trump. You made the decision to end US joint military exercises in Korea when Putin ordered you to during a Jan 2018 phone call. Mattis talked you out of it at the time but then you did it anyway during your first failed summit with Kim in Jun 2018.
Jan 2018: After a phone call with Putting, Trump had an idea about how to counter North Korea's nuclear threat – ending US joint military exercises with South Korea.
Jun 2018: Without discussing it first with DoD or US ally South Korea, Trump announced the end of US joint military exercises in Korea, adopting the propaganda language of North Korea, China, and Russia, by calling them "provocative war games."

THREAD: ----> Read to bottom for Fox's catch-n-kill of the Stormy @StormyDaniels story in Oct. of 2016.

"Good reporting kiddo. But Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go."
Fox was co-founded by Roger Ailes, part of some of the nation's "dirtiest and most divisive" campaigns, including Nixon. Ailes, later fired amid sex harassment claims, joined Trump's debate team.
"The genius was seeing there's an attraction to fear-based, anger-based politics that has to do with class and race. .... Trump and Murdoch also share a transactional approach to politics, devoid of almost any ideology besides self-interest."

1. This is MAJOR for various reasons. The most obvious is that Cohen was very evidently EVEN AFTER THE RAID trying to have God knows what contacts with Keith Davidson, who "represented" various women that were paid off by Trump.
2. There is specific question Cohen asks Davidson about an "Anthony". "Why did Anthony back out on ABC to do the story?". This means 1) Cohen WANTED that story out so presumably this is pro-Trump spin 2) Davidson either represents or works with this "Anthony".
3. So who is this Anthony? First name that comes to mind is Scaramucci but there's no reason why Cohen would contact Davidson to ask about rhymes and reasons for a Scaramucci thing. He'd contact Scaramucci himself.

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
