From Otisville, @MichaelCohen212 sends a statement responding to Trump lawyer @JaySekulow over the closing of the SDNY campaign finance probe: "Mr. Sekulow's statement is completely distorted and dishonest...." 1/
"....As I stated during my open testimony, I and members of The Trump Organization were directed by Mr. Trump to handle the Stormy Daniel's matter; including making the hush money payment. ..." 2
"....The conclusion of the investigation exonerating the Trump Organization's role should be of great concern to the American people and investigated by Congress and The Department of Justice." 3

In response to this --- > ....
.... Ron Lauder weighs in through an aide: "Jason Greenblatt and the entire Trump administration have been steadfast supporters of the State of Israel, and their constant travels across the Middle East demonstrate their commitment to bringing a lasting peace to the region...1"
".... The remarks from Jason and the administration reflect hard truths, which are essential to building peace. Any statement to the contrary by organizations like J-Street are simply partisan politics." 2

Trump holding a fundraiser in Bedminster on Friday, per people familiar with the plans.
And then there's an event being prepared for the Hamptons in August.
There remains a lot of consternation among people in the Trump orbit about getting enough lead time to properly raise money. The president’s calendar is now controlled by Emma Doyle, Mulvaney’s deputy.

NEW: The 150 casualty number did not come from a general as the president told NBC, but came from Pentagon lawyers drafting a worst-case scenario figure hours after an earlier briefing of POTUS. The 150 figure was not cleared w Shanahan nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
The number was given to WHCO Cipollone, and White House lawyers passed it on to POTUS. That figure helped compel the president to call off the strike at the last minute nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
Throughout Friday, several senior admin officials said that a 150 number came in late but they didn't know why it wasn't shared earlier. Hard to overstate how little the White House has wanted to engage on what happened with a potential mil strike nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…

#Trump's bigotry over the past 46 years, including this response during a deposition over discriminating against Black home-seekers: “You know, you don’t want to live with them either.” theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
#Trump ordered Braille not be placed near elevators in Trump Tower, in violation of the law. "No blind people," Trump declared, "are going to live in this building."

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

A few things to remember about #MichaelCohen:
1. He has been represented by #Clinton operative Lanny Davis
2. Not even #Cohen is guilty of the #campaign #finance violations he pleaded guilty to in SD NY--they are not crimes. Prosecutors made them up. @realDonaldTrump
@POTUS
2/ They are absolutely unprecedented -- obviously added for partisan political purposes to smear @realDonaldTrump
3. Cohen is all about Cohen.
4. There are no campaign finance violations here! It's bogus.
@WhiteHouse
@PressSec
3/ 5. #Cohen admitted there is no evidence of collusion.
6. Trump told #Cohen to tell the truth
7. #MichaelCohen was never in Prague so #SteeleDossier is false on that point too
8. There are no tapes for which #Trump could be blackmailed

😳Meanwhile😲Florida Republican representative @MattGaetz prepares for tomorrow's Michael Cohen Congressional testimony by openly threatening the witness.

Pro-Trump propagandists treat public hearings like another FoxNews show. Just another opportunity to spin, distort, smear💩
Think how desperate Trump propagandists like Florida congressman Matt Gaetz must be to be tweeting out textbook obstruction of justice threats to witness Michael Cohen. It's as if Republicans know their power in Congress and the White House is illegitimate and about to be exposed
lol Like most propagandists, Matt Gaetz uses the First Amendment to license abuse of power. I don't think courts see obstruction of justice & witness tampering as just "marketplace of ideas." Lawyers get disbarred for threats like his to Michael Cohen. And from a congressman‼️

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.
