Deutsche Bank loaned a cumulative total of around $2.5B to Trump over the past two decades, & the bank continued writing him nine-figure checks even after he defaulted on a $640M obligation & sued the bank, blaming it for his failure to pay back the debt. propublica.org/article/trump-…
The committees want to determine “the volume of illicit funds that may have flowed through the bank, and whether any touched the accounts held there by Trump, his family, or business.” Links to Russia will get a particularly close look.
propublica.org/article/trump-…
“The Committee is examining whether Trump’s foreign business deals and financial ties were part of the Russian government’s efforts to entangle business and political leaders in corrupt activity or otherwise obtain leverage over them,” the filing stated.

🇺🇸Memorial Day🇺🇸

PBO:”On Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave everything for something greater than themselves.”

“It's up to us to not simply reflect on their sacrifice but to honor it with service of our own—and by living out the values they fought for.”
🇺🇸MD🇺🇸

CC:”1.1M+ Americans have died in the defense of the Republic. Honor their sacrifice by rededicating yourself to the cause they gave their lives to advance.

It’s our turn to shepherd the Republic’s march Forward our founding ideals. & to get there, we must work together.”
🇺🇸MemorialDay3🇺🇸

Clapper:

📌”Of course the Russian efforts affected the outcome of the 2016 election.”

📌”To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense, and credulity to the breaking point.”

📌”Less than eighty thousand votes in three key states swung the election.”

Former intel chief’s argument that Putin did indeed sway the 2016 vote

James Clapper memoir: “Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence.”

The book begins and ends with a brutal appraisal of Trump & the Russian plot to put him in power.
washingtonpost.com/outlook/former…
📌All the intelligence at Clapper’s disposal suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent, had made that possible.

Clapper, old Cold Warrior that he was, saw his world turned upside down.
washingtonpost.com/outlook/former…
Suddenly truth, as Clapper understood the term, was out; “alternative facts” were in; and America’s old enemy had a far too cozy relationship with its new commander in chief.

Trump is about to make his case for a border wall.

We could be fact-checking his speech, but we want to try something different. Rather than responding to a crisis of his administration's own making, here’s the reality at the border:
Homeland Security statistics show a steady decline in border apprehensions over the past two decades.

buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
Just 6 people detained at the border in the first half of 2018 were on a government watch list.
buzzfeednews.com/article/talala…

A 2016 State Department report said there's no info suggesting the border is being used by terrorists to enter the US.

1/8 TRUTH MATTERS ⚖️

• A conspiracy theory was tweeted by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on Oct 18

• Gaetz claimed that a video showed men in Honduras handing out money to persuade women and children to join a migrant caravan

• "Soros? US-backed NGOs?" he asked rhetorically
2/8 One of the first people to shoot holes in the Gaetz conspiracy was @travis_view in this thread

3/8 More details were added by Guatemalan journalist @luisassardo as collated in this article by @jscros for @splinter_news

Over the past two decades, as the United States has been focused on the Middle East, the balance of power in East Asia has swung wildly in an unfavorable and dangerous direction. Here's what the region looked like in 1999.
Flash forward to today, and things start to get dicey. Sure, the US forces depicted are only those actually in the region. We have reinforcements! But they are thousands of miles and many days away.
Here's the real ballgame: between now and 2025, under current trends, PLA capability may stretch to the second island chain. Are we comfortable our forward deployed forces can deter aggression? Would China really try something?
