1. Campaign rally flop

Invited 2,000

“About 400 or so here” - @JenniferJJacobs

Even Fox News agrees (with a little rounding up?): “about 500” showed up.

2. Covid precaution flop

Looks like they’re packing people closer together for a better photo image.
2. Fox News host:

“They were wearing masks but they were definitely kind of sandwiched in together.”
3. And in terms of the #HatchAct violation:

“This will be a campaign speech. ... No doubt about it. This is the same kind of remark that he would be giving if he were doing this in front of a large audience at a MAGA rally.”

Fox News’ @markpmeredith (correctly describing event)

It’s not clear how Dr. Sean Conley has determined Trump will no longer need to isolate only 10 days after symptom onset.

Looks like the CDC Guidelines say Trump should be in the category that needs to isolate for 20 days after symptom onset.👇

Plus ...

<thread>
2. Fauci on Thursday used a (test-based) approach, in which case, per Fauci:

Trump needs to isolate for 10 days after symptoms RESOLVE (not symptoms onset) and then two negative tests.

Note: based on his coughing on Hannity last night, Trump’s symptoms haven’t resolved yet.
3. Here’s a longer quote from Fauci (via @MarionRenault):

Unprecedented

New England J. of Medicine rebukes Trump

"Our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs"
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
2. "The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000."
3. The USA has "failed at almost every step. We had ample warning....
The United States came into this crisis with enormous advantages. Along with tremendous manufacturing capacity, we have a biomedical research system that is the envy of the world. We have enormous expertise..."

Recall:

“Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk. ‘He’s never cared about us,’ one agent told a confidant.”

2. “Former Secret Service agents said it was unheard of for agents to openly complain about their president but that some currently in the ranks had become convinced during the pandemic that Trump was willing to put his protectors in harm’s way.”

from same Washington Post report
3.
“This administration doesn’t care about the Secret Service,” one current agent relayed in an internal discussion group. “It’s so obvious.”

WaPo:

The CDC "had a contact tracing team ready to go...but had NOT been asked to mobilize."

Dr Conley:

"The White House medical unit, in conjunction with the collaboration with CDC and local state health departments, are conducting all contact tracing per CDC guidelines."
2. WaPo also casts doubt on Dr. Conley's claim that the White House has engaged "local state health departments" in contact tracing.

WaPost: "Officials in Minnesota, Ohio and New Jersey, where Trump held events in recent days, said they haven’t heard from the White House."

Brilliant, clear explainer by leading tax law professor @DanielShaviro

Shaviro explains why Trump's claim that he "loves depreciation" and was "smart" to pay no taxes doesn't make sense.

Trump's massive economic losses (and potential fraud) do.

<thread>

2. On prospect of Trump's impending personal financial crash:

"A danger of simply running out of money soon if there is no turnaround...$421 million in personal liability debts...due soon add to the impression of an approaching risk of financial breakdown."

#TrumpTaxReturns
3.

It’s not just a question of potential FEDERAL tax crimes—for which Trump could be indicted after leaving office.

It’s also a question of NEW YORK financial crimes—which authorities might bring even if Trump were still president.

Shaviro on the NY & NYC crimes element.👇

Important book by Mueller top prosecutor @AWeissmann_

“They were hamstrung by Mueller’s decision not to look into Trump’s financial dealings with Russia, which might have established a source of Russian leverage over Trump.”

Mueller’s decision

<thread>

2. They had the President on obstruction.

Weissmann told his colleague. “When there is insufficient proof of a crime, in volume one, we say it. But when there is sufficient proof, with obstruction, we don’t say it. Who is going to be fooled by that? It’s so obvious.”
3. Note:

Those potential obstruction charges are still lying in wait.

When Trump leaves office, he loses immunity from criminal prosecution.
