@JakeSherman @apalmerdc Trump said he could get the Freedom Caucus to help make Nancy Pelosi the House speaker if she didn't have the necessary support. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
@JakeSherman @apalmerdc “The most conservative members of Congress would do him a favor by voting for Pelosi.”

That's quite the favor.

Why does Michael Cohen need to stay out of prison just to give Congress some records? He can hand them off whenever he wants.
Also, what does Lanny Davis mean by “recently obtained?” Have these documents not been provided to prosecutors, who actually have some sway on Cohen’s prison time?

Justice Department is pushing back on the suggestion that special counsel's office wrote summaries that could be quickly released.
"Every page of the 'confidential report' provided to Attorney General Barr" was marked to say it may contain confidential grand jury information, according to spokeswoman Kerri Kupec
"The Department continues to work with the Special Counsel on appropriate redactions to the report so that it can be released to Congress and the public," she said.

Rep. Collins says Democrats are essentially "asking the attorney general to break the law" by asking for grand jury information.
Collins says there's no reason for a subpoena because Barr has already promised to provide Congress with a version of Mueller's report. "What's the rush? Spring break probably."
Collins compares Democrats to a guy who can't catch anything while fishing. "Instead of catching anything the way he should, he pulls out a piece of dynamite and throws it in the pond."

#Trump-mais il n'est pas le seul (cf. ci-dessous)- démontre aujourd'hui qu'il n'a rien compris au #MeToo, et à ses revendications. Bien sûr, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent de l'accusation mais le président en fait 1 victime, tout en taisant la parole de l'agressée. Frappant. RT+
#LastRT Et quand l'ex-président #Bush, pourtant retiré de la vie publique et très discret, ne sort de son silence que pour défendre #Kavanaugh par principe AVANT MÊME que la victime ait pu s'exprimer, là aussi rien ne change. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
#LastRT Encore 1 fois, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent, il n'y a aucune preuve apportée pour l'instant contre lui. Et l'accusatrice n'a pas encore confirmé qu'elle témoignerait au Sénat. Mais comment s'en étonner si sa parole est tant minorée par avance? politico.com/story/2018/09/…

This Andrew Miller situation is extremely significant. We've only just begun to scratch the surface.

Mueller is on the right track here.

Nov 8, 2016 was the culmination of a long journey for Trump & crew. 2010-2012 was a key time period on this track.
We keep going in circles, finding the same people popping up in shady places. Reunions are a key theme in Trumpland--but maybe no one ever leaves.

#Breaking BADABOUM Pour #Trump, président des #EtatsUnis, l'#UnionEuropeenne est 1 ENNEMI. La #Russie seulement sous certains aspects. Oui, vous vous en foutez à cette heure mais vous avez bien lu... Encore 1 fois, aucun hasard, et 1 projet délibéré de destruction. RT+
2) #Breaking #Trump a été élu président sur 1 projet nationaliste, identitaire et mercantiliste, financé en particulier par le milliardaire Mercer qui soutint aussi le #Brexit. Jusqu'ici, il l'applique à la lettre. Ce n'est pas lui qui est surprenant mais la naïveté des Européens
3) #Breaking Je renvoie à mon #thread d'avant-hier sur la politique extérieure de #Trump: 1 doctrine cohérente pour abattre l'ordre mondial libéral post-1991 que ses partenaires de l'UE ou l'OTAN croient pouvoir réduire aux excentricités du personnage...

Alexander Acosta, Trump's Secretary of Labor, has ties to Charles Koch through
George Mason University School of Law. This is only one of many cabinet positions and heads of agencies that are Koch'd-up in Trump's administration. #UnKochAmerica
checksandbalancesproject.org/koch-strength-…
But do you know what else Acosta is mixed up in?
Jeffrey Epstein's "sweetheart deal" (Trump: "terrific guy") i.e. light sentence he received in a #Florida court battle over allegations that he sexually abused more than 40 minor girls, most of them between the ages of 13-17.

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

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
