Confusion is Trump's goal. As is undermining confidence in institutions like the Mueller investigation, the press, the FBI, and the entire government. Trust only Trump, and only what he says now, not yesterday.
One day the Mueller report exonerates him, the next it's a partisan attack job. One day he has nothing to hide, the next he's suing everyone to keep info hidden.
Trump doesn't care about blatant contradictions as long as everyone is looking at him for whatever he says the truth is today. Commands all the attention.
For fellow Game if Thrones fans, while Trump has been said to have small hands, he's more Littlefinger: "Chaos is a ladder." Institutions need order; he exploits its absence.

Indeed. I’ll take Americans’ complains more seriously when they stop literally lining up to pay $1000 to put surveillance devices in their pockets and opting in to FB, facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, etc.
People mostly know what they’re getting into but they do it anyway because they want the convenience. Data is still abused and privacy violated, but most of it is willingly exchanged for services.
It’s a lot like diet. People know that fast food and candy are bad for them, but they still eat a lot anyway. (Cigarettes, too.) Digital devices and social media are even more addicting, so both individual willpower and regulation are needed.

Bingo. Trump hopes that pursuing justice will be too slow and too politically unpopular among the Democrats. He’ll keep doing it until they call his bluff.
As I wrote about Putin many times, Trump’s not a chess player, he’s a poker player. He has a lousy hand, but wins when his feeble opponents fold. It doesn’t take much skill, only a sense of impunity.
And the more Trump’s opponents fold, the stronger his sense of impunity will get and his transgressions will grow. His supporters will also be emboldened if he seems immune to justice.

Trump & Putin will keep trying to make public the unacceptable relationship they already have in private. Summits and lifting/evading sanctions, & ignoring Putin's attacks on the US.
Putin might give up his support of Maduro in exchange for the US abandoning Ukraine. It fits the “spheres of influence” philosophy he promotes against universal values, human rights, and self-determination.
But why should Putin give up anything if Trump keeps giving him everything anyway? One reason is to give Trump something he can call a foreign policy win to help his reelection, especially after the continued North Korea humiliation.

#Mueller did not recommend indicting @realDonaldTrump for #obstruction of justice--there was no crime
It's another #Weissmann-crafted narrative
He makes up crimes-Just ask four Merrill Lynch executives who spent a year in prison on indictment of conduct that was NOT criminal
See the excellent thread by @JohnWHuber for a full explanation of the
#ObstructionOfJustice allegations and "crime" alleged by
#Weissmann
#WeissmannReport
He has destroyed countless lives on false charges
LicensedtoLie.com
The #obstruction statute DOES NOT EVEN APPLY to an #FBI investigation!

The only two courts that have addressed this issue have decided squarely AGAINST #Weissmann's bogus theory.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Le tweet de la nuit US par #Trump: l'enquête #Mueller,dont son avocat a demandé l'arrêt, n'aurait jamais dû exister en 1er lieu. Et le président de reprendre l' idée démentie même par le rapport républicain Nunes d'1 enquête basée sur le rapport de renseignement privé Steele...RT
2) Pourquoi cette nouvelle saillie nocturne de #Trump? Sans doute parce que #Mueller non content d'assigner ses documents d'affaire avec la #Russie a envoyé les questions qu'il souhaiterait poser au président...L'intrigue se resserre...thehill.com/homenews/admin…
3)#Breaking Et dès ce dimanche matin, #Trump repasse en boucle contre l'enquête #Mueller...1 cap est franchi: comme expliqué hier(cf. #thread épinglé),il tient son argument. S'il y a complot de #McCabe et #Comey contre lui, le procureur est leur complice...

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
