Here's what we now know about this *one* Oval Office meeting that Trump had with Russian officials the day after he fired Comey

-US press was kept out while a Russian photographer was let in
-Trump revealed highly classified info to Russians
-He called Comey a nutjob
-This👇
This is from *one brief* meeting.

Meanwhile, Trump has met privately with Putin at least five times for a total of well over four hours, and we know next to nothing about what they discussed. nytimes.com/2019/01/15/us/…
Donald Trump is a national security threat.

Since Trump's inauguration, Eric and Don Jr have sold off $110 million of the president’s real estate holdings—which their father still profits from—through more than 100 tiny transactions that have mostly flown under the radar.

It can't be said enough that while Trump pushes a conspiracy about Biden corruptly boosting his son's international business, Trump literally has two adult sons who are running an international business that he still visits, promotes and *personally profits from* as president
There are legitimate questions to ask about the way family members of DC royalty profit off their family names, but having Trump be the driver of that discussion—to deflect from his own wrongdoing—is like Bernie Madoff criticizing WeWork's business model

I would just like to casually remind folks that in debating the Constitution, the Founders specifically discussed the possibility that a president might someday misuse the pardon power.

The explicit remedy they discussed for such an occasion was impeachment.
George Mason asked if the president has "the power of granting pardons before indictment, or conviction, may he not stop inquiry and prevent detection?"
James Madison responded, "If the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any Person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him"

One of the most amazing things about the conspiracy theories Trump entertains about his political rivals is how their feasibility requires that the people at the center of them are able to manipulate the U.S. government, allied countries and multi-national orgs in secret.
For example, with Uranium One, Hillary Clinton supposedly secured a unanimous vote from nine U.S. government agencies—without leaving any evidence of her involvement—for a deal that would benefit a Clinton Foundation donor who had sold his shares in the company 3 years earlier
With Ukraine, we're to believe that Joe Biden was secretly able to get the U.S. government, our European allies, and multi-national organizations like the IMF to call for the removal of a prosecutor who wasn't doing enough to fight corruption, to protect his son from...something?

Ratliffe now hammering Mueller on the 'not exonerated' statement on pg2 of Part II of the Mueller Report.

Mueller looks totally lost.
While Ratcliffe made good points, instead of asking Mueller a real question he spent 5 minutes grandstanding and never let Mueller get more than simple one word answer in.

He should have kept eliciting responses from Mueller. The last 3 minutes was just grandstanding.
I love it when someone like Sheila Jackson Lee 'explains' to a career prosecuting official like Mueller what his job is.

Ratcliffe is a former prosecutor himself, so he knew what he was talking about.

Lee is just reading talking points.

Thread: #Trump Meets With Falun Gong Practitioner, Other Survivors of Religious Persecution theepochtimes.com/trump-meets-wi…
A practitioner of the spiritual discipline Falun Gong who was persecuted in China for her faith was among 27 survivors of religious persecution who met with President Donald Trump at the White House on July 17.
Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese meditation practice, has been brutally persecuted by the Chinese communist regime for 20 years. At any given time, hundreds of thousands of adherents are held in prisons, labor camps, and brainwashing centers, where many have been tortured.

Hey remember the story that was reported by multiple news outlets about how both Trump & Sessions were in the Oval Office when news broke that Mueller, who they'd BOTH interviewed for the FBI Director job, had just been appointed Special Counsel?
According to MULTIPLE news reports, the story goes:

Upon hearing this news, TRUMP FLEW INTO A RAGE AND STARTED BERATING JEFF SESSIONS FOR NOT KNOWING/TELLING HIM THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

What's the story about what happened next, anybody remember?
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Here's the Bloomberg article on that volatile Oval Office meeting, where Trump starts SCREAMING at Jeff Sessions.

Oval Office meeting

PELOSI: “You should not have a Trump shutdown.”

TRUMP interrupts: “A what? Did you say — Trump? Oh.” (He smiles)

PELOSI: “…you have the votes. You should pass it.”

TRUMP interrupts: “No we don’t have the votes, Nancy, because in the Senate we need 60.”
PELOSI: The fact is you do not have the votes in the House.

TRUMP: Nancy, I do.

PELOSI: Well, let’s take the vote and we’ll find out.

TRUMP: Nancy. Nancy. We need border security.

PELOSI: Of course we do.

TRUMP: People are pouring into our country, including terrorists.
Pelosi reminds Trump lots of House Republicans just lost their seats. Trump interjects: “We’ve gained in the Senate. Nancy. We’ve gained in the Senate.” Schumer jumps in: “When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana he’s in real trouble.” Trump replies: “I did!”

THREAD: Mueller probing attempts by the UAE to " buy political influence" by directing money to support Trump *during the campaign*‼️ 1/

Mueller probing George Nader (Lebanese-American businessman)👉🏼adviser to the ruler of the UAE, and was frequent visitor to Trump’s WH.🤔

Mueller is probing Nader’s role in WH policymaking & whether UAE had influence on Trump's decision-making.🤨 2/
Mueller's focus on Nader could also prompt an examination of how money from MULTIPLE countries has flowed through and influenced DC during the Trump era.🤨

SO MUCH FOR DRAINING THE SWAMP‼️🤬 3/

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
