Parnas, Fruman, Perry, Firtash, Putin... all working to get trump to soften stance on VZ, so they could plunder?

VZ’s economy eventually collapses, Rosneft forced to pull out, bunch of gold gets shipped to Iran?

And this op was a part of that, and failed badly?

Just trying to spitball, so many moving parts...

Which conservative groups are pushing Trump to re-open the economy?

That effort is being led by Stephen Moore (Heritage Foundation); Jenny Beth Martin (Tea Party Patriots); Adam Brandon (FreedomWorks); and Lisa Nelson (ALEC/Koch)

washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
“Obviously, the sooner we get the economy going and back up, the better it’s going to be for conservatives and Republicans in this election year,” veteran tea-party organizer Richard Viguerie said in an interview.
If you aren’t familiar with these groups - especially the way the Koch network uses groups like ALEC to influence our government - take a stroll through some of the tweets by @Tentoads4truth

It is good to see USA Today finally give this situation the attention and urgency that it deserves.

Oversight erased, Supreme Court hijacked: Trump turns the presidency into a dictatorship

This op-Ed puts his actions in their broader context

As the article states, Atkinson wasn’t the only IG that Trump removed - nor the only one that he plans to.

He removed the IGs for Intelligence, for the HHS, and the Pentagon.

And he stated very clearly that this was just the beginning, with *seven* IGs on the chopping block.

His war on oversight and checks & balances started 3 years ago when he fired Comey.

Incrementally, from ignoring subpoenas to convincing a cravenly complicit GOP to deny witnesses, he has chiseled away at the concept that he can be held accountable.

Acquittal emboldened him.

How Republicans are capitalizing on a national crisis, taking advantage of public confusion and distraction, to personally benefit, consolidate power, and otherwise benefit Trump, the GOP, and their allies.

If you see other examples, let me know so I can add them.

In Kentucky, the GOP legislature is passing voter ID laws that require photo ID for citizens to vote.

This is being passed *after* the DMV and county clerk offices have been closed, making it impossible to get a state ID.

theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…
William Barr and the DOJ are asking for the ability to halt court proceedings - to eliminate the requirement for a hearing in order to be able to detain people - under broad and vaguely defined circumstances.

This will probably be blocked by the Democratic House. 🤞
