DOT went to great lengths in FOIA response to cover up any evidence that Elaine Chao's staff was communicating with FOREMOST [Chao's family shipping company that does business in China] while they worked to prepare for her trip to China.

Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in criminal case involving his hush payments to women he slept with right after his 3rd wife gave birth to his 5th child. He, Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric are under investigation for fraud and tax evasion.

So no, they are not like the Kennedys.
LOL. @nytimes just deleted this tweet after getting ratio'ed to hell.

Obstruction in plain sight: White House directs former WH Comms Director, Hope Hicks, and former WH counsel chief of staff, Annie Donaldson, to withhold WH documents from Congress.

Per @mkraju, Hope Hicks could still be forced to testify about her time on the campaign.
Per @mkraju: @RepJerryNadler said this morning that Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson would likely be held in contempt if the do not comply with their subpoenas.
NEW: Former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, once a very close aide to Trump, has agreed to turn over documents related to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign to congressional investigators, per @RepJerryNadler.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who's serving a federal prison sentence, will be sent to Rikers Island this week, and likely put in solitary confinement, while facing state fraud charges brought by Manhattan DA Cy Vance.
by @WRashbaum #Maddow nyti.ms/2WeyvE7
ICYMI: On March 13, a Manhattan grand jury handed up an indictment charging Paul Manafort with 16 state felonies in case brought by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance to ensure Manafort would still face prison if Trump pardoned him for his federal crimes.

Here is what the DOT staff was assigned by Cabinet member to do
The agency also put a chunk of work in to prepare special luggage tags for the folks going on this trip, or at least who planned to make the trip

Welcome to 2019 where the investment thesis of the year is, wait for it:

Kicking 🥫🏃‍♂️ the can down the road:

a) Trade-war deadline, extended, again;
b) Brexit, likely extended (deadline of Article 50 extended);
c) Fed rate hikes, extended;
d) China deleveraging, extended;

👌
Word of the year: EXTENDED 🤑
Things not looking good! (Ramble on China debt, UK crashing out of the European Union, slow growth in the Euro-zone, Japan & increasingly Asia, weak growth in EM, rising geopolitical tensions, the US paralysis on policy to fix basic issues)

Dude, haven't u heard of extension?👌

#FOIA response or awful Christmas sweater?
(It's a trick question, because the answer doesn't matter. Either would contribute equally to your understanding of what the government is doing.)
Trying to decide whether this is a better or worse #FOIA metaphor than the fact that an agency just mailed me a blank DVD.
