You probably already know Trump is profiting off his presidency.

What you might not know—because it’s never been reported in one place—is how every corner of Trump’s administration has enabled it.

We found 19 policies. Seriously, read them all:

FBI scrapped HQ relocation in favor of renovation, potentially blocking hotel competition.

WH announced troop withdrawal in Syria, benefiting Turkey, where there’s a Trump branded property.

Tax cuts in 2017 offered tax deductions favorable to real estate developers.
Obviously, Trump tried to host the G-7 at his resort.

Trump earned about $20 million from sale of a property approved by HUD.

A clean water rule rollback was favorable for golf courses. Trump owns 12.

Trump imposed European wine tariffs, and profits from an American vineyard.

Lev Parnas made a six-figure donation to a Trump connected super PAC.

John Bolton worked in Trump’s White House until September.

These are the people that released of hours of audio, thousands of documents, and an eyewitness account of President Trump’s abuse of power.
That the president's allies came forward with new evidence should be a wake up call for every senator.

There’s still time for them to decide to do their constitutional duty and hold Trump to account. Contact your senators before it’s too late:

More audio is still dropping. Senators should think twice before telling the public that no matter what is to come, they will side with Trump.

Last week, we reported that the Senate called new witnesses in every impeachment trial in the last century. Well, we went to the Library of Congress to see records not available online.

It turns out the precedent goes back to America’s first completed impeachment trial in 1804.
In the 1800s, summoning impeachment witnesses was not an easy task: contacting witnesses involved handwritten letters and traveling to the trial meant riding there on horseback. Some witnesses even died before they could testify.
Nevertheless, in Judge Pickering’s 1804 trial, the Senate brought in four new witnesses who did not testify in the House.

In 1805 during Justice Chase’s trial, 50 new witnesses testified.

Yet in 2020, calling even John Bolton seems to be beyond some senators.

.@RepAdamSchiff outlines the reason for today: "The question before us is not whether Donald Trump could recall an American ambassador with a stellar reputation for fighting corruption in Ukraine, but why would he want to? Why did Rudy Giuliani want her gone? And why did Trump?"
@RepAdamSchiff .@RepAdamSchiff explains the connection between today's hearing and Wednesday's: Giuliani's effort to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Trump's political opponents.

HELLO?

HELLO??

H-E-L-L-O???

One of the jurors on the Roger Stone show trial is the wife of an official who still works at the DOJ division that took down Stone!

The Oabama-appointed judge Amy Jackson says this is ok!
There are people who think that they are making the world a better place by prosecuting Roger Stone for 1) maybe lying to Congress; a thing that people are rarely prosecuted for; 2) lying about a none illegal events 3) at a time when the bais for the investigation was a hoax.
Jury says Stone is guilty on all counts of lying to Congress and on "witness intimidation" in a case that when the focus was on Stone, it was known that there was no there there (no collusion), and even if it were, it is not illegal including when using low bar of "conspiracy."

Since @JohnBrennan has SOOO much to say about OUR President...time to break down some facts about him. Spoiler alert: He's as corrupt as they come. Also a verified LIAR.

[2015] CIA Director @JohnBrennan lied when he denied ordering agency employees to search Senate comps to trace a leak. Frustrated w his unwillingness to admit the obvious, 3 Senate Dems called on Brennan to admit that his agency crossed the line. dailydot.com/layer8/senate-…
[2014] The scandal stirred fresh doubts abt John Brennan’s ability to lead the CIA & could make it difficult for the agency to push back on the findings of a Senate report on Bush-era “enhanced interrogation” techniques that might be released this mothehill.com/policy/technol…FYKg
