Good call: Dems going after McGahn. The House Judiciary Dems asked Mueller 6 times about Trump ordering McG to fire him. Everyone knows the 7th time is the charm.
Game. Changer.
B/c McGahn fired RMIII. No?
Too bad there aren't any subpoena-worthy documents. Like NY taxes... 1/
2/ Like the Seinfeld "Spongeworthy" episode, some people (or things) are subpoena-worthy. Some are not.
When Nixon wanted Cox fired, he found someone to do it (SG Bork) and got it done.
As I said on @realTrumpcast, if Trump really wanted Mueller fired, he could have. He didn't.
@realTrumpcast 3/ Meanwhile...
"Dems haven’t even asked for the president’s NY tax returns, which in July passed a law that would allow 3 committees to request them."
Trump is lucky to have these House Dems, like he was lucky to have @CyVance. And Eric Schneiderman...

This is not “hardball.”
This is anti-democratic beanball to exploit 9/11 so egregiously and dishonestly.
And I’ve documented how these GOP beanball tactics didn’t start with Trump. They paved the way to Trump. 1/
2/ Dems went to 9/11 memorial this AM.
@GOP promised no legislative votes until 1 pm.
@ncGOP lied and apparently waited until after yesterday’s special election to dodge voter backlash.
There is legitimate question if legislation passed by deceit is valid.
@GOP @NCGOP 3/ Here's my piece on David Pozen & Joey Fishkin, "Asymmetric Constitutional Beanball."
"I suggest a different baseball metaphor for such tactics: beanball, pitches meant to injure and knock out the opposing player, against the basic rules of the game."

"There isn't much of a track record of Russians assassinating former spies." Yes, @KenDilanianNBC actually said this in his own defense. Dumbfounding. He and NBC owe some better answers for endangering an asset for no apparent journalistic purpose. He certainly didn't offer one.
@KenDilanianNBC *former asset.
This segment reflects terribly on Brian Williams, too. When @KenDilanianNBC says "There isn't much of a track record of Russians assassinating former spies," what journalist - or sentient being - doesn't ask, "You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking."
@KenDilanianNBC In the clip, Ken suggested the Russians already knew, but to his credit, he also acknowledged his story put the former asset into the spotlight, thus increased the danger as a bad precedent of impunity.
But even worse, he still offered no justification for increasing this risk.

Manafort's lawyers are right.
@cyvance made a clear double jeopardy error and has dodged answering for it...
But what about valid state tax fraud charges?
Where are the prosecutors in CA and IL on new bank fraud?
@CyVance 2/ Some background on why @CyVanceforDA charges are double jeopardy on 11 or 12 of the 16 counts:
slate.com/news-and-polit…
@CyVance @CyVanceforDA 3/ And here I discuss the valid state charges that still could be brought in NY, VA, CA, and IL against Manafort.
Ironically, the lone hold-out #MAGA juror in August left more of these charges available by hanging the jury:

#Mueller's already dealt fatal blows to Trump & GOP propagandists. He said 1) he didn’t indict b/c of OLC memo, 2) "no collusion no obstruction, total exoneration" is false, & 3) he won't address "origins" of the probe or Steele dossier b/c they’re under review. #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary 🤯🙄A Republican Sensenbrenner actually asked #Mueller this question: If you knew from the outset that your office wasn't going to indict the president (b/c OLC guideline prevented it), why even investigate him?
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary #Mueller is calm but not exactly poker-faced. He just gave a disgusted sneer at crazy Louis Gohmert shouting that Trump "wasn't obstructing justice, he was pursuing justice because he's INNOCENT"! Even the gallery laughed. #MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing

“Trump said on Sunday that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, should not testify before Congress, setting up another confrontation with Democrats over presidential authority and the separation of powers.” ⁦@nytimes⁩ nytimes.com/2019/05/05/us/…
⏰ FEAR? How are the @TheJusticeDept & @FBI dealing with all this? Everyone “just following orders"? Going along to get along? Is their allegiance to Trump, the @GOP, some ideology, or to the constitution? Are they powerless? Looking for excuses & pretexts to hide in the shadows?
“Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society & of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.” - WikiPedia @Wikipedia

#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.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

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
