A legal team pulled from Fox's green room. By my count, in 2019 Trump sent at least 23 live tweets in response to their collective Fox appearances; 5 each for Ray and Starr and 13 for Dershowitz.
Dershowitz also used the relationship he built with Trump by denouncing the Mueller probe on Fox to successfully appeal to him for a presidential commutation of one of his legal clients. mediamatters.org/donald-trump/t…
"But Trump thinks Dershowitz is magnificent on TV, a White House official told me."

Folks.

1. Fox News, which vetted John Bolton for President Trump, is ready to tear him down in the wake of reports he details a Ukraine quid pro quo in his book.

2. Brian Kilmeade's reaction: "The one thing the president should take from this" is that "he's got to do a better job vetting his staff find out if they actually want to work for him or not, or they actually want to leak out information about him.”
3. But if anyone could be said to have vetted Bolton for a top position in Trump’s administration, it was Fox. Bolton worked there for a decade and Trump hired him because he like his appearances -- a move that won plaudits from the network's pro-Trump personalities.

What would happen if Democrats tried to pocket the GOP position that Trump did nothing wrong?
Like, if a Dem presidential candidate were to say, "The Senate has spoken, Trump's behavior was appropriate, and if I'm elected I'm conditioning aid to Iraq on that country investigating whether Tom Cotton committed war crimes while serving there," how would Republicans respond?
I'm skeptical the reaction would be, "well, presidents have a responsibility to investigate war crimes, I guess this is fine"?

This response from the Post is shameful and incoherent. If the editors feel that a reporter tweeting a well-reported story’s headline with a link is beyond the pale and damages the paper they should get it over with and ban the newsroom from Twitter. google.com/amp/s/www.dail…
Pressing labor issues aside this is basically a press release saying, “we are deeply uninterested in stories about the depredations of powerful and beloved men, it might interfere with the work of our other reporters who cover them, please walk that stuff over to the Times.”
Great piece on this from @ErikWemple, which also establishes that the claim that Post management was concerned that Sonmez had revealed the names of people who’d emailed her doesn't hold up: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

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
