David Boies who now represents 7 clients against Jeffrey Epstein previously represented Harvey Weinstein (& hired Black Cube to discredit Weinstein's accusers), and along with partners at his law firm contributed over $180K in the past decade to support the career of Cy Vance 🤔
It's so disheartening to see the fates of these women continue to fall into the hands of the same circle of powerful men
Source for the $180K donations from Boies/partner to Vance (link in tweet below)

Federal grand jury probing GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy - examining whether he used his position as vice chair of Trump’s inaugural committee to drum up business deals with foreign leaders, by @JimMustian @desmondbutler HT @ThomasS4217
apnews.com/5e69440f450243…
Brooklyn prosecutors subpoenaed Inaugural Cmte for info on 20 people/businesses linked to Broidy & appears to be investigating violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Broidy inquiry appears distinct from Manhattan inquiry of foreign $ to Inaugural Cmte
apnews.com/5e69440f450243…
The Brooklyn probe of Broidy followed a request last year by @SenWarren & @SenBlumenthal that Justice Department investigate whether Broidy used access to Trump to entice foreign officials who could advance his business interests

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

In one message to Mr. Nader in March 2017, Mr. Broidy referred to Secure America Now, an advocacy organization that he suggested had campaigned against Ms. Patterson, as “one of the groups I am working with.”

John Bolton is a member of the advisory board for Secure America Now.

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
