So @MichaelRCaputo is considering a run for Chris Collins’ congressional seat.
.@MichaelRCaputo lives in the western NY district that helped determine the outcome of the GOV primary in 2010. Caputo was Carl Paladino’s spokesman in that race.
Caputo led a Trump draft effort for governor in 2013. Then he was the top NY official in the state primary in the April 2016 presidential race. He then went to work for the campaign.

Many roads of Donald Trump's political life and current environment lead back to the 2010 gubernatorial primary between Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino in NY. It was the year Ed Cox first was chairman, the year the RNC wanted to freeze out NY from victory fund programs ...
...because they didn't think they could trust Cox with the money. Cox that year tried recruiting a Democrat from Long Island, Steve Levy, to run for governor as a Republican. at the same time Cox's son was running in a GOP primary for the Zeldin seat in Suffolk Cty, LI...
...At the time Cox was trying to recruit Levy, the RGA had a fresh-faced exec director named Nick Ayers, who said favorable things about Levy despite him being a Dem. Both Levy and Chris Cox had a strategist in common. His name was @jwgop.

One of the more surprising aspects of what was a fairly predictable presidency based on his campaign has been how infrequently Trump has returned to NYC, which aides had believed he would do often. He’s told people he doesn’t like the impact on businesses near Trump Tower...
...and after looking at the miles of shuttered streets and highway in Manhattan during rush hour it is easier to understand why he isnt here often.
Surprising lack of angry signs from resigned-looking New Yorkers lingering by the metal fences blocking off streets. “Dump Trump” was it for several blocks.

On the SCHIFF letter probing whether Trump lawyers were involved in COHEN false statement to congress, a person familiar with the discussions when Cohen testified before congress earlier this year said that LANNY Davis, Cohen's lawyer, sent text messages to Abbe Lowell ...
... when Cohen was testifying publicly, in which Davis told Lowell that Lowell was not who Cohen was referring to as trying to advance false statements. In the messages, Davis told Lowell that he would make that clear to House officials, the person said....
...Davis confirmed sending Lowell, who reps Ivanka Trump, the messages, but said Lowell had made other suggested changes to Cohen's 2017 statement that were not incorporated into the final version. Davis said he thought Lowell believed the changes were truthful, but they weren't.

The Senate was never representative. Back when it was created, Senators were elected by state legislators - a club of notables got together to pick somebody to represent state legislature's interests in Congress. Senators weren't representing millions of people as they do today.
2. Even the House of Representatives was far more personal - from 1789 until 1833, the average Congressman never represented more than 60,000 people. Today, there are more than 730,000 US residents per member of Congress, thanks to a 1913 law that fixed the House number at 435.
3. The House was supposed to be the peoples' house, representative not just in ideas but in actual personhood. The notion that one person can represent the interests of three quarters of a million people is ludicrous - why so many today feel disconnected from their rep's actions.

so Collins and his congressional pall have been using their positions on the committees and boards to make millions. Surprised? Evidentally there’s no rule against it. That’s about to change, but in the meantime...
Mr. Collins may have been the largest investor in health companies on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, but one-third of its members also bought and sold biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device stocks.

@USRepLong @RepLarryBucshon and @RepMullin all of whom served with Collins on the panel’s health subcommittee each invested in Innate. The subcommittee weighed in on topics ranging from the Food and Drug Administration’s authority over speeding up approval of new drugs to the ACA

Let’s take a closer look at the Trump Transition Team. As per usual, Trump has surrounded himself with grifters, scumbags, con-men, and traitors.

[THREAD]
1/ The chair of the TTT? Mike Pence. The @VP has lived in the shadows for most of the last two years, emerging only to protest at NFL games or to promote zany space stuff. But make no mistake: Manafort’s Chosen One (and thus Putin’s) was IN CHARGE OF THE TRANSITION.
2/ Let me reiterate: Putin chose Manafort, who chose Pence, who chose EVERYONE, in theory, as the head of the Trump Transition Team.

ANYTHING criminal that happened at that time lands right in his lap.

The buck stops with Pence.
