Steven Calk, the founder and CEO of Federal Savings Bank of Chicago and ex-economic advisor to the Trump campaign, has been indicted for soliciting a senior admin position in return for approving $16M loans to Manafort.

Story soon @CourthouseNews.

DOJ: justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/b…
Notable: Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, appointed by Trump, appears to have recused himself from the case.

This is from Audrey Strauss, who-as I note in this profile-started out her prosecutorial career on the team that beat Roy Cohn in court. courthousenews.com/lawyer-who-bes…
Typo at the top of the thread: That should be *Stephen.

Wrinkle: The Trump campaign wants to sanction the DNC for its RICO suit accusing them of conspiring with Russia--because Mueller stopped short of that finding.

Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/6130…

DNC warns "wholly groundless" gambit will backfire.

Story soon @CourthouseNews.
The motion is a response to the DNC's racketeering lawsuit filed in April 2018. @CourthouseNews coverage of its filing:

courthousenews.com/dnc-suit-accus…

DNC's attorney Joseph Sellers warns Trump Campaign's sanctions motion might itself by sanctionable.

Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/6130…
To be more precise, the Trump campaign wants to sanction the DNC for *continuing to pursue* its RICO claims post-Mueller report.

Look for the story soon.

Listen to @OnTheMedia's recent episode "Climate Obscura," with incisive reporting by @KateAronoff on the Trump White House's suppression of climate warnings and @JaneMayerNYer on the right's long game.

Plus: Fascinating segment on "anthropocene" epoch.

wnycstudios.org/story/climate-…
That show's sobering final segment delves into the scientific movement to designate a subdivision of geological time acknowledging how profoundly human beings are fundamentally changing the planet.
Climate's partly on my mind today because tomorrow, I'll be reporting from @CFR_org's New York office, where @GovInslee will be delivering an early morning speech on the climate crisis at 7:45 a.m. EST.

More on that soon, for @CourthouseNews.

(FACT) Even after he received his classified August 17, 2016 briefing fully informing him of Russia's crimes against America, Trump directed Paul Manafort to negotiate a "peace deal" (sanctions deal) with Kremlin agents—which Manafort did, and for which he was richly compensated.
(KEY TERMS) Summerbreeze, Spruce Capital, Steve Calk, Alexander Rovt, the Federal Savings Bank of Chicago, the August 2016 Manafort-Barrack "Greek cruise" and payments to Manafort of $3.5 million, then $16 million—while he was in touch with Trump and negotiating Russia sanctions.
(PS) Now we know why Trump told friends in January 2018 that Manafort could bury him if he "flipped": because after Trump knew what the Kremlin was doing, he induced it to keep doing it by having Manafort negotiate sanctions—pre-election—on the campaign's behalf: aiding/abetting.

😎Espionage😎

WikiLeaks Founder JAssange Charged With 18 New Counts including violating the espionage act.

Anyone “publishing” anything on a website does not make one a “Journalist.”

Publishing anything stolen that endangers lives or compromises our NatSec is NOT journalism.

Prosecutors, said the WikiLeaks databases had close to 90,000 Afghanistan war-related significant activity reports, 400,000 Iraq war-related significant activities reports, 800 Guantanamo Bay detainee assessment briefs, and 250,000 State Department cables

This a.m., prosecutors filed a brief arguing that even if the CEO of Federal Savings Bank had personal reasons for approving $16M in loans to Paul Manafort (as the govt has argued) that's not a defense to the charge that Manafort defrauded the bank assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4754…
And we're back at the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, where Paul Manafort's trial is set to resume at 1pm. Known as the "rocket docket," the courthouse has a statue out front that reads, "Justice Delayed Justice Denied" (note the animals...)

Time for Mueller to bring out the big guns.

The whole GOP seems to be going to jail. 🤷‍♀️ (Actually a whole bunch on all sides of the aisle)

The entire Trump era has been a festering pit of barely disguised ongoing corruption. But the whole sordid era has not had a 24-hour period quite like the orgy of criminality which we have just experienced.

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
