BREAKING NEWS: House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Former Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski As Part of Its Impeachment Inquiry, Doing So on the Same Day Trump Is In New Hampshire and Possibly Planning to Endorse a Lewandowski Bid for the United States Senate
1/ The House Judiciary Committee has also subpoenaed RICK DEARBORN to testimony before Congress; those who have followed the Trump-Russia case will tell you that the Dearborn subpoena is quite possibly more significant than the Lewandowski subpoena. Dearborn has a story to tell.
2/ CNN reports that Trump may be planning to assert "executive privilege" to stop Lewandowski from testifying, a *historic* attempt to hide from Congress what Trump was doing during the campaign, given that Lewandowski *has never worked for Trump as part of the executive branch*.

Here's the top deck at Trump's Thursday rally in Manchester, NH. It's almost empty. Trump claimed that not only was the arena full, but *48,000* people—what you're seeing is about 8,500 to 9,500—had wanted to come see him. He also falsely said dozens waited *60 hours* to get in.
PS/ Note also—all for accuracy's sake—that 60% of the floor seating is taken up by journalists, and that there are scattered empty seats even in the lower deck (suggesting that those on the floor might have been able to fit in those seats or in the lowest rows of the upper deck).
MEDIA/ Note that I harp on this for a reason: Trump is in *deep* trouble in New Hampshire, where he's underwater (-26) in popularity *and* couldn't draw a crowd bigger than this one—and many of those media interviewed were out-of-staters from Massachusetts.

He should be worried.

This is so sad.

Look, *every* POTUS draws crowds. As a candidate, Trump *also* drew crowds, in fact crowds almost three-quarters the size of Sanders'.

I've been in this arena 30+ times. This video was taken in a way that hides the *entire* (largely empty) upper deck.

Grow up.
1/ What's so sad about MAGA cultists is that if they wanted to they could tweet and speak just like normal folks. Trump draws big crowds, like any president. All normal folks want him to do is *stop lying about his crowds*. If you can't get on board with *that*, you're a cultist.
2/ I (and most Trump critics) are reasonable folks. Say he drew a big crowd, we'll say OK. Show us a picture of 10 people who lined up 36 hours early, we'll say OK. Say that 48,000 wanted to get in and dozens were lined up 60 hours in advance, we'll *rightly* call you/him a liar.

Question for @NatashaBertrand, who retweeted this: doesn't this mean Rusal America was formed in April 2016, but no Kentucky filing was made until August 2018? As the Rusal sanctions weren't in place until April 2018, are we certain there's anything suspicious about this at all?
@NatashaBertrand 1/ In WA, the incorporation date is listed as February '18. What Scott posted may just mean Rusal America was unofficially formed in 2016 but not incorporated until later. It formed soon after Manafort joined Trump's campaign, but not sure that means much. opengovwa.com/corporation/60…
@NatashaBertrand 2/ Update: Scott says they incorporated in Delaware in 1999. So without more information on what precisely was "formed" in April 2016 (and where) I'm not sure an August 2018 filing in Kentucky, as Rusal and the feds were negotiating the dropping of sanctions on Rusal, means much.

🚨Trump White House just asserted executive privilege over the #MuellerReport. Just as House Judiciary is about to vote to hold Attorney General Barr in #contempt for refusing to provide the full report. Roy Cohn Barr threatened he would tell WH to do this. Absurd and abusive.
Louis Gohmert has said “coup” twice already, pushing the absurd and desperate propaganda that the Russia investigation was a “failed coup” to “set up” a legitimate POTUS. (Did Putin give Trump+/his propagandists that idea? It’s a favorite Kremlin trope!) #BarrContemptHearing
Sad Twilight Zone: Democrats are talking about the constitution, rule of law, defending our institutions. Republicans spew propaganda buzzwords—“liberal media overlords” “kangaroo court” “coup” “spying” “Strzok.” Can’t even defend Barr. #Obstruction #BarrContemptHearing

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
