Trump’s U.S. Attorney in Philly issues a stunning attack on DA Larry Krasner after the shooting of six officers yesterday.
He’s also holding a press conference, so expect this to hit the cable news circuit this evening.
He’s already appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to attack Krasner
Blaming a progressive prosecutor for police-community tensions in the City of Brotherly Love seems a bit… ahistoric.

If only there were a way for the federal government to help build trust between local law enforcement and the communities they serve.

At a press conference, U.S. Attorney McSwaine said his office would be looking very closely at Krasner’s office and providing "adult supervision.”

Inmate suicides are almost always preventable, and Epstein attempted last month. Huge failure by the feds here.
“If you run a jail with an appropriate degree of suicide prevention, you get almost zero.” highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/sa…
Suicide has been the no. 1 cause of deaths in jails in every year since 2000. The rate of jail suicides in 2014 — the last year when data was available — was the highest on record. huffpost.com/entry/jail-dea…

NEW: former FBI special agent Peter Strzok has sued the government over his firing. The lawsuit: documentcloud.org/documents/6244…
Strzok’s lawyer: “The lawsuit shows that, in bowing to the president’s desires, FBI leaders trampled Pete’s free speech and due process rights in ways that should be deeply troubling to all in government, and indeed, to all Americans.”
.@petestrzok would like to know what’s up with those New York Field Office leaks.

The FBI Agents Association issued a new statement calling on Congress "to make domestic terrorism a federal crime.” Background: huffpost.com/entry/domestic…
More here: huffpost.com/entry/domestic…
The head of the FBI Agents Association previously offered a few more details on the vision, saying Congress should “make domestic terrorism a crime subject to specific penalties that apply irrespective of the weapon or target involved in the crime.” huffpost.com/entry/domestic…

Stunning diatribe by Philly US Atty vs its DA. "There is a new culture of disrespect for law enforcement in this city, which unfortunately is promoted & championed by DA Larry Krasner and I am fed up with it. It started w/ chants at the DA’s victory party of F*** the police..."
"...and 'no good cops in a racist system.' And now we’ve endured over a year & half of worst kind of slander against law enforcement w/ the DA repeatedly calling police & prosecutors corrupt & racist & recently even referring to them as war criminals and comparing them to Nazis."
"This vile rhetoric puts our police in danger, it disgraces the office of the DA, it harms the good people of this city and it rewards the wicked."

Between this and Trump v Baltimore, sure looks like right is spoiling for a 2020 "law & order" backlash to police reform movement.

#Trump's press conference takeaways.
- Internet and Video Games blamed for mass shooting inspirations
- Promotion of early detection "Red Flag" laws to stop someone before they commit crime
- Asks DOJ to provide recommendations for a bi-partisan solutions to tackle gun access
OP-ED: Unless someone issuse a direct felonious threat you cannot take away their 2nd Amendment. Arresting and striping of rights of someone who is not adjudicated directly mentally ill or has issued a direct threat is orwellian. Furthurmore.....
his internet and video game statments are with some merit but are incredibly mislead. He wants a light "shined" on the dark recesses of the internet and shared concerned over "violent video games". Overall this press conference was concerning for the 2nd amendment's future.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

You know @PhillyMayor .

Violently arresting the spokesperson for the peaceful protest that spurred your recent proclamation on Philly's collaboration with ICE is a bad look.

We see you. We vote.
You had your negotiations. You held your press conference. You stood in front of #Philly and talked about your good conscience.

And when the dust settled and the cameras cleared, you went after them. Vindictively.
You figured you could appease the liberal base and seen on the side of tolerance and reform.

But then you had the Philly police chokeslam a woman who had embarrassed you with her protest

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

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
