Here's another Trump abuse of power that should alarm you. Trump will likely pervert classification authority to keep info buried that would undercut his campaign claims and inform voters about Russian interference. I talked to @ChrisMurphyCT about this:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@ChrisMurphyCT “It is possible the president will be able to keep classified all the information the US gathers about Russian attempts to support his election. That’s the nightmare scenario.”

A bracing @ChrisMurphyCT interview about another Trumpian abuse of power:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@ChrisMurphyCT This is the next frontier in Trump's lawlessness.

@ChrisMurphyCT has asked GAO to systematically review Trump's abuse of the classification process to bury unflattering information.

Trump has *already* abused this power. It will get worse. Here's how.

In a stunning development, former Justice Department inspector general @mrbromwich has called on insiders to report political manipulation. I just had a long talk with Bromwich. It's hair-raising stuff. He sees an "existential threat." Our interview:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@mrbromwich Here are some highlights from my interview with former Justice Department inspector general @mrbromwich.

Alarmingly, Bromwich notes that Trump is carrying out his corrupt directives to William Barr *in public,* that is, right out here on Twitter:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@mrbromwich Former DOJ IG inspector @mrbromwich also tells me this moment is an "existential threat" to our institutions.

And he calls on DOJ insiders to step forward and report what they see. Bromwich thinks investigations of Trump's foes are a very real danger:

Need a 2020 message? Trump wants to gut health care for millions -- while demanding billions for the useless, hateful wall he vowed to make Mexico pay for.

Trump's proposed hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts are a big liability. Act like it, Dems.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Defending Medicaid from Trump can unify Dems. It can bridge the gap between the young, nonwhite and/or urban voters in the base and the suburban whites Ds hope to keep in their anti-Trump coalition through 2020.

Medicaid won for Ds in the suburbs in 2019:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Hard to overstate how huge a betrayal Trump's efforts to gut Medicaid have been.

Protecting people's health care, and refusing to cut entitlements, were central to Trump's claim that his economic nationalism was a break from conventional GOP economics.

The savaging of @MittRomney is about signaling to Republicans what they'll face if they get queasy about *future* revelations. We're now learning the NSA withheld crucial info about Ukraine -- info that will likely come out. I have more on that here: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@MittRomney A few points in this piece.

I urge you to watch the whole video Trump tweeted attacking Romney.

The message: Trump is a winner.

Romney lost -- to Obama.

The idea that the Obama presidency represented national humiliation figures heavily in Trumpism:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@MittRomney Another key point:

@RepAdamSchiff told @Maddow the NSA withheld crucial info from the House that was relevant to the Senate trial.

A former NSC official tells me this info was likely intercepted comms among Ukrainian officials about Trump's shakedown:

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Here’s how #Trump has achieved #Russia’s policy goals. It’s not just Syria. Trump’s most inexplicable or controversial foreign policy moves begin to make sense when viewed as Trump capitulating to Russian policy objectives thinkprogress.org/trump-achieve-… via @thinkprogress
Ann Coulter's right. Trump IS gutless. But not for capitulating to Dems on a wall. He's capitulating to PUTIN & RUSSIA's goals: Driving out Mattis, weakening NATO, ignoring Russia's stunning aggression in Ukraine, defending Putin, relaxing sanctions, undermining democracy etc etc
Now Trump drives Mattis out by Jan 1. This isn't normal b/c Trump is hostile to America. He aids our enemies. As I've said like a broken record, Trump is Putin's dream and America's nightmare. Bitter truth is, Republicans are OK with a Kremlin stooge president. Suicidal insanity.

#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.

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
