Let’s take a wee look at trump’s inauguration fund shall we? You may have recently heard Jr and Ivanka have been deposed. But this could go way further than the kids. 🧵👇🏻

nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
This started in December of 2018. Two things that stick out to me in the above article is the information came from Michael Cohen just prior to his imprisonment, and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. You remember her...she was friends with Melania.
This is an excerpt from the article 2 tweets above. It is of the chairman of trump’s inaugural fund talking about the ‘cherished American tradition of a peaceful transfer of power’. Wow! Just...wow!
So, we have Michael Cohen and Stephanie Wolkoff provided information for the investigators and the chairman of the fund gaslighting us about ‘American Traditions’ his ‘friend’ (trump) completely ignored. Now, who is that chairman? You’re going to know him...but I’ll 📌for now.
I know, it’s an in thread tease. Shameless. But when working RICO cases, start with those lower than the boss. You may remember the Vice-Chairman of the trump inaugural fund was a guy named Elliot Broidy. If his name sounds familiar you may remember him from such scandals as
Broidy plead guilty. Did he do so in exchange for his testimony? Testimony potentially about the inauguration fund? Or could it be testimony about his dealings with Rick Gates? Or both? We remember Rick Gates right? Paul Manafort’s partner? businessinsider.com/financial-ties…
Which brings us to the 📌 Tom Barrack, Chairman of the Inauguration Fund. Tom Barrack is the ‘long time friend’ of donald Trump as described in almost everything you read about him. But let’s be honest, we all know donald does not have friends. So who is Tom Barrack?
Well, from the last article, we know he had a hand in hiring Paul Manafort for no pay to run trumps campaign for some reason. We know, he can gaslight with the best of them (remember the peaceful transition of power comment), and we know he is in proximity to a lot of money.
The Broidy scheme was worth billions and had money across the globe. Barrack was the chair, Broidy his number 2. Barrack is also a real estate investor. He was head of Colony Capital, an investment firm.
Barrack also helped trump to purchase the Old Post Office that became the Trump Hotel in DC. chicagotribune.com/business/ct-tr…
But all of this pales in comparison to the information that was brought forward in this astounding and exquisite piece of journalism👇🏻
Crazy, right? Did you hear all of that!? Anyway, here is a letter requesting Barrack’s firing or resignation.

blackwellscap.com/pressrelease/b…
If you didn’t read the letter, here is an important piece. Did Tom Barrack ‘transfer nuclear technologies to Saudi Arabia’? In his role as Inauguration Fund Chairman??? 👀👇🏻
Because that’s Michael Flynn’s job! pbs.org/newshour/polit…
I don’t have to remind you who Michael Flynn is do I?
I wouldn’t want you to be confused by Michael Flynn’s brother Charles. You don’t need a refresher on him right?
The investigation into the Inauguration Fund may require more attention than it’s been getting. This looks like more than pay to play.

Here is the thing about the Tucker Carlson types. It is easy to simply dismiss something due to ‘lack of evidence’. This is a semantics tool. ‘Evidence’ is something that can be used in court of law. Tucker argues in the court of public opinion. A wee 🧵👇🏻
You see, in a court of law, there are procedures. Protections. 4th amendment, 5th amendment, 6th amendment. Lots of amendments to protect people from, well people like Tucker in a court room. But Tucker isn’t in a court room.
We saw this during the first impeachment trial as well. Doug Collins, Jim Jordan. It is easy to cherry pick facts. Facts can serve your purpose. If your purpose is to call election interference a hoax, you can say, there is no ‘evidence’ to back it up. Why?

What is telling about the Senate Intelligence Hearing this morning is how Marco Rubio, it’s new Ranking Member, references Russia but goes hard on the ‘Chinese Communist Party’. This is branding folks. He is seeding the altnews-o-sphere with this easy to repeat language.
Remember when China was just China? He is working to normalize the use of the phrase ‘Chinese Communist Party’ because it will have an immediate negative connotation for those in his bubble. This would be as if we began to refer to his party as the Republican Fascist Party.
He is trying to create a boogeyman by being concerned about the future while paying no attention to the present. By diminishing the role of Russia, and placing the focus on ‘CCP’, he provides cover for what he knows is happening right now.

Louis DeJoy is testifying this morning. Someone should ask him why these areas had such reduced levels of mail delivery during the period leading up to the election. Check out Alabama.🧵👇🏻 Image
Here’s a bit more on Alabama, if you’re interested.
And then there is this. Another way to say ‘Misrepresented’ is perjured.

During impeachment, it’s important to understand who the House Managers are. They are the ones to present the case to convince the Senate that trump should never again hold office. So let’s look at team democracy’s starting lineup and why it’s them.

🗣Get your program here🧵👇🏻
Our lead House Manager is @RepRaskin. Jamie Raskin is a constitutional scholar. A professor. He knows our Constitution so well, he knows it’s strengths and weaknesses. He has a bill to strengthen our 25th Amendment by allowing professionals to evaluate fitness of president.
So why is it important to have a Constitutional scholar as a prosecutor in the case against trump? Because the Republicans in the Senate aren’t even convinced the trial of the twice impeached president is even legal. They first have to be convinced the trial can even happen.

So, I was doing some research for something (I thought was unrelated 📌)and came across this...You guys remember Don McGahn right? White House Counsel for trump during the period he tried to have Attorney General Sessions fired for recusing during the Mueller investigation? 🧵👇🏻
This is a 2016 Forbes article wherein they question Don McGahn’s appointment as White House counsel. At the time they were worried about conflicts of interest. They used the word ‘consigliere’. 🐴🤔

forbes.com/sites/charlest…
Well here is not necessarily a conflict of interest so much as a pattern of ‘keeping it in the family’. DYK that the uncle of former WH Counsel Don McGahn was Patrick McGahn and he was trump’s lawyer in 1992 during an investigation by the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement?

Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin used information from those in the treasury statement you just read.
This is the second portion of the above thread regarding Senator Ron Johnsons ‘investigation’. As a result of Johnson’s spreading of disinformation, he blamed Senator Peters for entering it into the record.
