NEW: Texts from Volker, Taylor, Sondland, and others re Trump and Ukraine: bit.ly/2VfZ9h4

"Heard from WH–assuming Pres Z convinces Trump he will investigate..."what happened" in 2016, we will nail down a date for DC visit."

"Potus really wants the deliverable."

9/1
 TAYLOR: Are we now saying that security aid and WH meetings are conditioned on investigations?
SONDLAND: Call me

9/8
 TAYLOR: The nightmare is they give the [public statement drafted Giuliani/others] and don't get US security aid. The Russians love it.

When people asked why Gordon Sondland, who had no qualifications as a diplomat beyond the $1M he’d given to Trump’s inaugural, was charge of Ukraine relations, he answered with two words:

“The president.

@gregpmiller @PaulSonne @GregJaffe @michaelbirnbaum This is a long piece bit so worth the read. Gordon Sondland is real piece of work – in the worst way possible.
@gregpmiller @PaulSonne @GregJaffe @michaelbirnbaum On July 21, Taylor voiced concerns about Ukraine being treated as a pawn in US “reelection politics.”

Sondland said that Taylor was failing to recognize how bending to Trump’s demands was the only path to improving the countries’ fraught relationship. Wow.

NEW: Weeks before the complaint became public, CIA's top lawyer made criminal referral to DOJ on the whistleblower's allegations about Trump's abuse of power, raising questions about why DOJ didn't open an inquiry.
by @KenDilanianNBC @JuliaEAinsley #Maddow nbcnews.to/2Io2o0A
@KenDilanianNBC @JuliaEAinsley The move by CIA's general counsel, a Trump appointee, meant she and other senior officials concluded a potential crime had been committed by Trump, raising questions about why DOJ closed the case without conducting an investigation.

Because, Barr.
#Maddow
@KenDilanianNBC @JuliaEAinsley NSC lawyers [whose chief legal adviser is John Eisenberg] directed WH officials to move Trump's Ukraine call transcript to the high security server.

It was also Eisenberg who alerted the DOJ about the whistleblower complaint [in which he was implicated].

NEW!! GOP Sen Ron Johnson said Trump ambassador Gordon Sondland told him in Aug that the status of the aid to Ukraine was tied to Trump's desire to have Kyiv investigate matters related to the 2016 US elections.
by @rebeccaballhaus @siobhanehughes #Maddow wsj.com/articles/trump…
@rebeccaballhaus @siobhanehughes 9 days later, Sondland denies any quid pro quo.

Taylor: “It’s crazy to withhold security aid for help with a political campaign.”

Sondland: “[Trump] has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind. … I suggest we stop the back and forth by text."

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house

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

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
