1. During a July 18 teleconference, a top @Deloitte executive assured staff concerned about the company's work w/ICE and CBP that the firm did not do any work on the physical border wall

I've learned from @Deloitte sources and emails that this isn't true popular.info/p/the-truth-ab…
@Deloitte 2. In January 2019, @Deloitte staff helped prepare a high-profile presentation for the White House advocating for increased funding for a physical border wall.

3. "Our Deloitte team put together the stats and briefing material for the White House presentation on border security," a Deloitte staffer emailed colleagues

The presentation, which the White House made public, made a flawed & misleading case for a wall

I went through the Twitter accounts of every Republican member of Congress and created a comprehensive list of every Republican member who has condemned Trump's blatantly racist attack on their colleague, Elijah Cummings
Recall that Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed promising he would stand up to Trump's racism. Guess he's busy today.

Since you are here check out my newsletter.

It's like my Twitter only with full sentences, original research and reporting.

Keep in mind that the last time Trump targeted members of Congress with a racist attack (10 days ago) most Republicans DEFENDED him. The official GOP line was that Trump wasn't being racist and, in fact, the people who he was targeting were the real racists.

1. I'm very skeptical of these latest nods toward impeachment by Nadler.

Let me explain.

washingtonpost.com/politics/nadle…
2. Nadler says he's going to sue to compel McGahn and potentially others to testify. He also wants the grand jury information.

The premise to all of this is that there is not currently enough information to justify impeachment.
3. I think that's wrong but there is a bigger problem.

TIME.

Time is not on the Democrats' side.

There are 15 months until the next election.

Now we are setting up a process of lengthy litigation to see if we can get some witnesses before impeachment can be considered.

While President Donald Trump is producing tremendous results for the United States economy, some left-wing analysts expect him to actually lose the 2020 election.
According to polls by liberal media outlets CNN and Morning Consult/Politico, former Vice President Joe Biden is comfortably ahead of the President in a hypothetical 2020 presidential match-up.

Trump Fundraising Emails
@TrumpEmail
THREAD: I’ve put together a mini Midterms version of the Trump Fundraging analysis, focused mainly on the last few days before Election Day (Oct 29-Nov 6). Please RT!

#Trump #TrumpEmails #Midterms #2018Midterms #2018MidtermElections
From October 29th through November 6th, I got 27 total emails. That’s exactly 3/per day, WAY above the 0.896/day average throughout all of 2018.

I chose Oct 29th for this thread because that’s when they really started picking up.
“Donald J. Trump” dominated the From field most of Oct. In the week before the midterms, they switched to a big mix of surrogates: Donald Trump Jr. (1st email of 2018), Eric Trump (8th), Melania Trump (5th), Lara Trump (23rd), Newt Gingrich (12th), & Brad Parscale (12th).

(1) My new #Kavanaugh thread, starting 9/28/18.

Long 9/22/18 thread:

Short 7/9/18 thread:

🦅"What is right will eventually triumph" -Reagan🇺🇸

#WomenForKavanaugh #WomenForTrump #VoteGOP #WalkAway
(2) So things have been clear as mud for a few hours. I will attempt to explain what I think is happening. I am not worried about eventually winning this thing. Not at all.

(3) The FBI is merely updating the file. It is not investigating a crime, bc no one has provided a date, time, place, or ANY substantiating or corroborating evidence. We already know that Ford's 4 supposed witnesses deny her *claims*.

Please remember: A claim is just a claim.

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
