"The sitting president of the United States financed an illegal cover-up from inside the White House…The president hosted a foreign leader in the Oval Office, then wrote a check. He haggled over legislation, then wrote a check. He traveled abroad, then wrote a check." So damning
This really shows the absurdity of DOJ policy NOT to indict a sitting president. The greater the evidence of criminality, the greater incentive a criminal POTUS has to stay in office. Trump may seek a 2d term as a result. Why EVER leave if being POTUS prevents legal exposure?!
🤯Trump paid #MichaelCohen $420,000—monthly checks—throughout 2017—signed by Jr, Weisselberg, sitting POTUS
+$130,000 to reimburse payment to keep Stormy silent
+$50,000 to manipulate online polls to inflate Trump’s business reputation
+$180,000 for Cohen's taxes
+$60,000 #bonus
🔥@NicolleDWallace: Trump played POTUS by day, wrote checks in spare time. Not even the top story! Because today #MichaelCohen gave Congress docs w/ EDITS—by Trump lawyer Sekulow—to false testimony about Trump pursuing Moscow Tower while running for POTUS.
🔥NEW: #Giuliani sent 2 lawyers to #MichaelCohen after FBI raid “to keep him in the tent”—urging Cohen to stay in joint defense agreement and remain loyal to Trump. They also offered Plan B: They’d join his legal team and ACT AS CONDUIT TO TRUMP’S LAWYERS abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-cla…
🔥 #Giuliani claims privilege. Investigators tho are looking into whether communications from these 2 lawyers reportedly sent by Giuliani to #MichaelCohen were intended to influence Cohen—a potential witness against Trump—or to implicitly dangle a potential presidential #pardon.
😂 This is kinda everything: #Giuliani’s 2 lawyers sent to #MichaelCohen— to “urge” loyalty to Trump—recorded their communications & contacts on their billable hours! Giving SDNY (& Mueller?) a nice roadmap to follow a conspiracy to aid and abet POTUS’ #AbuseOfPower. Allegedly😁
#Giuliani Says Lawyers "Sought" Trump Pardons for Their Clients, confirming Cohen's account of pardon discussions. (Rudy wouldn't admit it if it was Trump's idea b/c dangling a pardon would be yet more abuse of power & obstruction of justice by this POTUS) nytimes.com/2019/03/06/us/…

Trump Campaign Manager Paul #Manafort arrived in Judge Ellis’ courtroom in Eastern District of Virginia in a green jumpsuit, walking with a cane. He will be sentenced in a few minutes on 8 counts of financial crimes. He also awaits sentencing in DC by Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
The guy who promised the best people and "extreme vetting"—didn't even google Paul #Manafort?? Remember that when Trump apologists say he didn't know about Manafort's years of dirty work for world tyrants. I've always felt Trump hired him BECAUSE of his work for Putin & Russians.

🚨>> U.S. CANCELS Award to Star Journalist Fighting Russian Disinformation…Because She Criticized Trump – @ForeignPolicy @JessikkaAro foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/07/u-s…
@ForeignPolicy @JessikkaAro #FF @JessikkaAro. Her important work on #Russia #Propaganda #Extremism #InformationWarfare made her a target for brutal Kremlin trolls' disinformation campaign. She won "Women of Courage" Award—which State Dept rescinded bc she criticized Trump on twitter‼️indiegogo.com/projects/vladi…
@ForeignPolicy @JessikkaAro Every day Trump is POTUS is a day our most fundamental freedoms erode. 'POTUS Trump' is an oxymoron b/c autocrats are incompatible w/ democracy! In myriad ways—from overt sycophancy to chill of self-censorship—Americans bend to authoritarianism. Latest entry in US #HallofShame ⬇️

>> Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross acted in “bad faith,” broke several laws and violated the constitutional underpinning of representative democracy when he added a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a federal judge rules - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Judge: Ross engaged in “cynical search" to justify adding citizenship Q to census—fully aware it would produce an undercount & reduce representation in Congress—and thus in electoral college that decides the presidency—of states w/ significant immigrant populations—notably Calif.
SECOND federal judge finds—after a trial—that Wilbur Ross misrepresented to public & Congress his reasons for adding citizenship question to census. Ross claimed he was acting at the request of Justice Dept to enforce Voting Rights Act. “Evidence establishes” that was “a pretext”

This article gives new meaning to Trump signing that reimbursement check to Michael Cohen while holding office as President of the United States. Wowee!
#WednesdayWisdom #deadlinewh nytimes.com/2019/03/05/us/…
2-"WASHINGTON — On a busy day at the White House, President Trump hosted senators to talk about tax cuts, accused a Democratic congresswoman of distorting his condolence call to a soldier’s widow and suffered another court defeat for his travel ban targeting Muslim countries.
3-"And at some point on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017, Mr. Trump took the time to sign a $35,000 check to his lawyer, who had made hush payments to prevent alleged sexual misconduct from being exposed before the 2016 presidential election. It was one of 11 occasions that Mr.

In the Middle of His Official Business, Trump Took the Time to Send Checks to Michael Cohen nyti.ms/2SIi9lb
At the heart of last week’s congressional testimony by Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, was the sensational accusation that the sitting president of the United States financed an illegal cover-up from inside the White House.
The dates on the newly available checks shed light on the parallel lives Mr. Trump was living by this account — at once managing affairs of state while quietly paying the price of keeping his personal secrets out of the public eye.

🌈 🦄 🍭 Live-tweeting Michael Cohen hearing here beginning at 10 a.m., today Feb. 27, 2019
Here we go. Chair @RepCummings gaveled in. Already the shouting begins. The ranking member Mark Meadows is angry that he did not see the written testimony or evidence 24-hours in advance.

Meadows is screaming and saying the hearing cannot go forward. He said witness Michael Cohen held his statement and said "we should not stand for it."

Here is Michael Cohen’s opening statement in full: Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today. I have asked this Committee to ensure that my family be protected from Presidential threats
and that the Committee be sensitive to the questions pertaining to ongoing investigations. Thank you for your help and for your understanding. I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully
and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump. I recognize that some of you may doubt and attack me on my credibility. It is for this reason that I have incorporated into this opening statement documents that are irrefutable

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
