Inside the @FBI file on Trump Org: An odd 1997 news clip abt a fundraiser Trump hosted for then-District Atty @JudgeJeanine at a Trump property. Story says Trump may have violated campaign finance laws by charging Pirro below market for the space. Pg 108: vault.fbi.gov/trump-organiza…
Pirro's husband was Trump's lawyer at the time, and Pirro's campaign only had to pay $250 to rent the huge mansion, Seven Springs. Story suggests that the difference between market rate and what Pirro was charged amount to an unreported campaign contribution from Trump to Pirro.
Here's the clip. Right before it are several pages that appear to be entirely redacted.
Fast forward 22 years, and just nine days ago Trump was using his presidential platform to defend Pirro after she was suspended from Fox News over her anti-Muslim commentary.

Trump's pivot to healthcare took a backseat to practically every other topic Trump addressed tonight at his first post-Mueller campaign rally. cnb.cx/2JNbF5C
Hours before the rally, Trump had tweeted that his party would become "the Party of Great HealthCare." But already on Thursday, it was evident that replacing Obamacare has not yet managed to captivate Trump or his core supporters.
Trump only spent about four minutes of his 80-plus-minute rally on the subject of healthcare. And even then, the crowd was more enthusiastic about booing the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. — than it was about applauding Trump's pledge to protect pre-existing conditions.

Prosecutor just reminded ABJ that Manafort made "false statements to the FBI and false statements to the grand jury repeatedly."

This was one of the strangest things about the $125,000 payment I dug into: Each of Manafort's 3 lies about the $$ was totally new. 1/
They weren't a story that kept changing, they were totally unrelated stories, and he seemed unaware that each new one made his last statement completely false, not just a little false. 2/
Story #1. The money came from Gay, repayment of a debt that Gay owed Manafort. This was false because the money didn't come from Gay, it came from Fabrizio's ad buying firm, whose name never surfaced in this version of the story. 3/

NEW: My investigation into the $125,000 paid to Manafort's lawyers that Manafort allegedly lied about. Until now, source of $$ had been identified only as Firm A.

We report Firm A is Va. based Multi Media Services Corp, owned by GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio cnbc.com/2019/03/10/pau…
Fabrizio's ad buying firm, MMSC, was paid $19 million plus by the top Trump Super PAC, Rebuilding America Now. Look at this unredacted account name on the transfer record of the $125,000 payment. "MMSC Secondary - 7107 - Checking." That MMSC would be Multi Media Services Corp.
Tony Fabrizio's dual role as: a) the owner of MMSC, which was the biggest vendor by far to the top pro-Trump super PAC, Rebuilding America Now, and b) his job as the Trump campaign's lead pollster, has not been reported until now.

A few things to remember about #MichaelCohen:
1. He has been represented by #Clinton operative Lanny Davis
2. Not even #Cohen is guilty of the #campaign #finance violations he pleaded guilty to in SD NY--they are not crimes. Prosecutors made them up. @realDonaldTrump
@POTUS
2/ They are absolutely unprecedented -- obviously added for partisan political purposes to smear @realDonaldTrump
3. Cohen is all about Cohen.
4. There are no campaign finance violations here! It's bogus.
@WhiteHouse
@PressSec
3/ 5. #Cohen admitted there is no evidence of collusion.
6. Trump told #Cohen to tell the truth
7. #MichaelCohen was never in Prague so #SteeleDossier is false on that point too
8. There are no tapes for which #Trump could be blackmailed
#Dimms have 00

1. The unrelenting chaos that President Trump creates can sometimes obscure the big picture. But the big picture is simple: The United States has never had a president as demonstrably unfit for the office. nytimes.com/2019/01/05/opi…
2. Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors can be separated into four categories. And this list is conservative. It does not include the possibility that his campaign coordinated strategy with Russia, nor his lazy approach to the job, like his refusal to read briefing books.
3. This list instead focuses on demonstrable ways that Trump has broken the law or violated his oath.

ONE: Trump has used the presidency for personal enrichment.
TWO: He has violated campaign finance law.
THREE: He has obstructed justice.
FOUR: He has subverted democracy.

@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This President is the most divisive president in the History of the republic. #TRUMP has publicly stated that he enjoys the chaos and conflict he causes in his administration, the Congress, and in the coutry. He stated that turnover, resignations, and turmoil gives him pleasure
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This proves his psychopathic mental illness and is dangerous and destructive to a democratic republic whose strength is in its UNITY and the RULE OF LAW that protects the least of us through equal treatment under the law. Our president routinely attacks BOTH, as AGENT OF RUSSIA!
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #POTUS has laundered money for #Russia for DECADES. It is the ONLY reason he was able to come back from multiple bankruptcys. He is on Russia's pocket, and they KNOW it. It is why he is fearful that he will be poisoned. He should have learned the moral of his #snake allegory.

Wake up @JeffSessions

FEC Records Indicate @HillaryCampaign Illegally Laundered $84 Million thefederalist.com/2018/04/24/bom…
The press continues to feed the dying Russia collusion conspiracy theory, spending Friday’s news cycle regurgitating Democrat talking points from the just-filed Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act lawsuit against the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks, and Russia.
Yet the mainstream media took no notice of last week’s federal court filing that exposes an $84 million money-laundering conspiracy the @DNC and the @HillaryClinton campaign executed during the 2016 presidential election in violation of federal campaign-finance law.

<THREAD> This scoop by @KatyTurNBC and @carolelee puts the nail in the coffin of arguments that Mueller is not digging deep into potential Trump-Russia collusion and is focused on obstruction and process crimes. 1/
Mueller's questions of witnesses described in the Tur-Lee NBC story closely tracks the crimes under campaign finance law outlined by former White House Counsel Bob Bauer:

The @KatyTurNBC @carolelee report also has a lot on Roger Stone. As I said back in September, I would not want to be Stone's defense attorney given the Timeline of his statements and known interactions with Guccifer 2.0 and Wikileaks:
