House Committees formally move to intervene in the Trump v. Deutsche matter.

Doc here, @CourthouseNews: documentcloud.org/documents/5987…
Friday news dump in the Deutsche subpoena case.

In short:

* House Committees seek to intervene in the case, in essence, to be heard in court. (Remember, Trump sued Deutsche and Capital One, not Congress here.)

* Team Trump filed memo of law seeking a preliminary injunction.
In their written arguments, Trump's legal team calls the subpoenas a "transparent attempt to 'expose' Plaintiffs’ finances 'for the sake of exposure'" -- citing time frame of requests.

ICYMI, I broke down the scope earlier. courthousenews.com/deutsche-bank-…

Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/5987…
One reason for the length, as I explained in my article, is that the LLC that Trump used for the Trump Moscow negotiations was registered in 2008, and other Trump entities founded earlier are crucial to finding out the scope of his foreign cash.
What exactly are House Democrats looking into in their Deutsche and Capital One subpoenas?

This paragraph of their new letter, and what a paragraph it is, lays it out.

Story coming up soon on @CourthouseNews.
“Only the Committees can adequately defend their own interests in this action.”

— House Democrats, asking a federal judge for permission to intervene in Trump v. Deutsche.

Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio estimated Trump would owe $2.1M/year if his buildings didn't get greener by 2030.

Using #NYCOpenData on CO2 emissions for 2016, I started mapping Manhattan buildings that produced >5K metric tons that year. Work-in-progress. public.tableau.com/views/NYCbuild…
Note: I chose to filter for >5K metric tons because at least three Trump buildings fit that description in 2016.

Trump Towers: 5,780 MT CO2
Trump Building: 6,096
Trump International Hotel & Tower: 5,188

Data comes from here: data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/En…
There may be a more effective way to map this, and actual data journalists might want to present other perspectives on the information. Advice welcome.

This chart, however, helps visualize where some of the biggest reported CO2-emitters stand in Manhattan (borough filter).

“One billion is a number that changes things,” the plaintiff's attorney told the jury in the Monsanto Roundup case.

Now a jury said that number--twice.

.@NYCMayor Bill de Blasio threatens $2.1 million/year fines starting in 2030 if Trump doesn't make his mirrored glass towers green.

"President Trump – you’re on notice," de Blasio said in a statement. "Your polluting buildings are part of the problem."

Press release breakdown.
Quick write-up by me @CourthouseNews on de Blasio's shot across the bow to the Trump Organization, warning of rolling $2.1M fines for non-compliance with New York's Green New Deal mandates taking effect soon, with a 2030 emissions goals. courthousenews.com/get-those-glas…
New York City's OpenData initiative includes this spreadsheet on "Data and metrics on water and energy consumption in buildings over 50,000" square feet.

As my story details, some Trump properties on that data set. data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/En…

@CourthouseNews @KlasfeldReports The lawsuit itself says Sater was also planning to launder money through the Trump SoHo project.:
@CourthouseNews @KlasfeldReports According to the lawsuit, more than $3 million in stolen funds were laundered through the Trump SoHo project. (See paragraphs 148-161.)

@CourthouseNews @KlasfeldReports In the context of this lawsuit, it's worth rereading some of @adamdavidson's excellent reporting from 2017, which unpacks a lot of this story:

2. One of the contractors was deemed by the Army Corps of Engineers too risky to do future business with, according to public records, a whistleblower lawsuit and FOIA filed by the Project on Government Oversight

“[W]oman..says #Trump took her virginity in 1994 when she was only 13 & being held by #Epstein as a [sex] slave”

“[L]awsuit..was dismissed over technical filing errors”

@davidpmikkelson @snopes - got more about this (see top link to @snopes article) yet?
“A judge recommended..that ‘Katie Johnson’ should have to pay her own attorneys’ fees and court costs related to the $100 million lawsuit she brought against #Trump and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey #Epstein over alleged sexual assault charges.”
snopes.com/news/2016/06/2…
So: Case dismissed on irrelevant technicality; victim threatened w/financial ruin if doesn’t let it go; ‘problem’ solved.

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.
