They did *not* say if they’re investigating any of the dozens of other reports we obtained.

NEW: @KatyTurNBC and I headed to South Florida and grabbed binoculars for a close-up look at Mar-a-Lago and Trump's other conflicts of interest.

Sunday 9ET on @MSNBC we'll show you how he's profiting off the presidency.

Here's a preview. Tune in and set your DVR. #AmericanSwamp
@KatyTurNBC @MSNBC We also went to Trump's D.C. hotel for some coffee and potato chips to see what all the fuss is about, and why foreign (and domestic) governments are shacking up there.

@KatyTurNBC filmed this on her iPhone. #AmericanSwamp
@KatyTurNBC @MSNBC As @RepCummings was preparing to investigate Trump, @KatyTurNBC and I visited him. Even before the racist tweets, he was ready.

"My job as a member of Congress it to be a check on the executive branch. You can call me whatever you want. This is me doing my job." #AmericanSwamp

NEW: Federal funds for child migrants’ lifeline in detention — free legal services — running out.

No money available for two new temporary shelters on military bases.

No funds for an Arizona shelter for 50 kids ages 0-5.

Details, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
“[C]hildren arrive often having survived unspeakable trauma, and to contemplate sending these vulnerable children into court alone, without access to a lawyer who can make sure they understand what is happening and protect their rights, is unconscionable,” @L_Toczylowski said.
Can’t overstate how important free legal services for child migrants are.

Without them, risk of deportation back to dangerous conditions they fled skyrockets — it’s starting to happen.

If Congress doesn’t agree to funding deal soon, will get far worse. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

EXCLUSIVE: Botched reunifications left separated kids in vans overnight, one for 39 hours.

E-mail: "There has to be a better process. I hope... there can be adjustments so that we don't put tender age kids in this position."

More on @chrislhayes. #inners nbcnews.to/2JUhLA9
@chrislhayes NEW: As we asked "where are the children?" at least 37 were eating and sleeping overnight in vans parked outside an adult detention center, some two nights, because ICE wasn't ready to reunite them. More: nbcnews.to/2JUhLA9 @allinwithchris @JuliaEAinsley @chrislhayes #inners
Hard to believe what’s in this e-mail, but it really does say 37 “tender age” separated migrant kids waited on vans for hours overnight when they were supposed to be in the arms of their parents.

🌀Insanity🌀

DOJ IG Is Preparing to Deliver Verdict on the Russia Inv’n

Steele interviewed by IG & found Steels Dossier CREDIBLE.

So much so THEY WILL EXTEND HIS INV’N.

This is HUGE and blows GOP talking points outta the water.

BTW Steele did the FiFA Inv’n —it’s connected.
🌀Insanity2🌀

Why Steele chose RU mob expert Bruce Ohr as FBI liaison:

Finally, the FBI agent spoke. No deal, he said;

Mogilevich must surrender.

BRUCE OHR said little, but his unwillingness to negotiate was signal enough:

The DOJ would not compromise with the Russian mafia.
🌀Insanity3🌀

Epstein: “bounty hunter,” recovering lost or stolen money for the gov’t or the wealthy.

“Mogilevich↔️Robert Maxwell↔️Ghislaine Maxwell↔️Epstein↔️Bear Sterns↔️Felix Sater”

“Epstein ➡ Leon Black ➡ Apollo Global Mgmt ➡ CIM ➡ Macklowe ➡ TrumpSoho ➡ Sater/Arif”

#BREAKING: California professor, writer of confidential Brett #Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about allegation of traumatic sexual assault. “I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” she describes how he forced himself on her, pinned her, shut her mouth washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Anita Hill's sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas was ignored. Now we're at a new low. Republicans want to rush through a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of attempted rape…to gut a woman's right to abortion. We are not free if we can't make decisions about our bodies. #Kavanaugh
I'd like to say, couldn't the Republicans find someone better than Brett Kavanaugh for SCOTUS?? Then again, look who they nominated for POTUS. If Collins & Murkowski vote to confirm a credibly accused rapist, GOP moral decay is irreversible. And unforgivable in November & beyond.
