It's really, really worth understanding how remarkable it was that Trump reiterated his Ukraine-DNC server conspiracy theory on Fox News this morning. wapo.st/37y83fE
Republicans have spent two months trying to wave this away. Nunes has spent two solid weeks anxiously reframing this, even in the face of Fiona Hill pointing out that its ridiculous.

But here comes Trump, Kool-Aid-Man-ing the idea back onto TV. wapo.st/37y83fE
And it's just the most nonsensical, desperate theory, which is almost a tertiary point here.

Where's the quid pro quo?

Well, on July 10, EU Amb. Sondland told Ukrainians that there had to be investigations before a meeting, repeating that in another meeting right afterward. That's been confirmed by Lt. Col. Vindman and Fiona Hill. washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/… 1/7
On July 25, right before the Trump-Zelensky call, special envoy Kurt Volker texted Zelensky aide Andrey Yermak to say that a meeting would happen "assuming" there were investigations. 2/7
On Aug. 10, Yermak texted Volker to clarify that he wanted a meeting set *before* Ukraine announced new investigations. 3/7

Found the footage from 1985 where Alexander Vindman and his brother are used as explicit examples of immigrant embodying the ideals of the Statue of Liberty. wapo.st/31RRp6B
Vindman is exactly the kind of immigrant Trump claims to want to see — up until he criticizes Trump. wapo.st/31RRp6B
The twins answer at the same time — they came from Russia, from Ukraine. Then "our mother died, so we went to Italy. And then we came here."

The idea that Ukraine aid was halted in order to pressure the country to aid the Russia probe probe makes no sense in a truly remarkable number of ways. washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Remember when people said "Hey, Zelensky mentions aid and Trump replied, 'I need a favor though, look into this server thing'" and Trump allies were like "no no that's not quid pro quo, you're reaching"?

That trade-off is exactly what Mulvaney said today. washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
(Now with the link to the correct story.)

Hier et avant-hier, le président #Trump, ainsi que ses soutiens, laissaient entendre que le #FBI avait infiltré 1 taupe pour espionner sa campagne 2016. Cette accusation était gravissime, il y a eu du nouveau dans la nuit...#thread #breaking
2) Le #breaking badaboum du @washingtonpost (donc du sûr) cette nuit: le #FBI a déployé 1 informateur habituel- prof de fac à la retraite- auprès de 3 conseillers de la campagne #Trump déjà soupçonnés de liens avec la #Russie, ET NON DANS la campagne. washingtonpost.com/politics/secre…
3) La chronologie est essentielle pour bien comprendre le déploiement de l'informateur: il ressortait, même de documents pro #Trump comme le mémo #Nunes, que le #FBI commença son enquête sur de possibles liens entre la campagne et la #Russie début juillet 2016...

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
