Trump went on another grievance tear at the GOP Donor Retreat
Saying Zuckerberg was inv in stealing the election
-$500M was spent on a 'lock box' for 'marked' votes
And calling McConnell a stone cold loser & dumb son of a bitch
Guess it's not going well... nytimes.com/2021/04/10/us/…
2-"As donors and G.O.P. leaders looked on Saturday night, Mr. Trump quickly cast aside his prepared remarks and returned to his false claims that the election was stolen from him.
3-"He referenced “Zuckerberg” and $500 million spent on a “lockbox” from which, he said, every vote was marked, according to remarks described by an attendee. “Biden. Saintly Joe Biden,” he said.
4-"Trump praised loyalists like Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows, his former chief of staff, while lashing his enemies — among them Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker; former President Barack Obama, whom he called “Barack Hussein Obama”;
5-"Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser; and Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, whom he berated anew for not helping overturn Mr. Biden’s win in the state.
6-"He saved much of his vitriol for Senator Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, calling him a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “stone cold loser,’’ according to the attendee. A “real leader,” he said, would never have accepted the results of that election.
7-"Late in his remarks, Trump praised the crowd that attended his rally on 1/6, admiring how large it was, ..Trump added that he wasn’t “talking about the people that went to the Capitol,” though hundreds of the rally attendees left the rally at the Ellipse to go to the Capitol"

It's going to be really interesting to find out why Trump Org paid Trump's CFO's son Barry Weisselberg $200K/yr & $40K bonuses & kid's tuition/camp fees ($148K) & 2 free apartments
-to manage a public skating rink
Just saying... washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2-"Donald Trump's company paid a skating rink manager more than $200,000 in annual salary, $40,000 yearly bonuses and provided free company-owned apartments for his family, according to testimony of the employee, Barry Weisselberg, and his financial documents.
3-".. At the time of the deposition, Allen Weisselberg paid for a variety of his son’s other expenses, the documents show, including $7,900 in monthly rent for a non-Trump-owned apartment where the couple later lived, $546 a month for a leased Range Rover Velar SUV
Per WaPo today:
Congress investigation shows that in addition to CDC ofcls 'celebrating' their efforts to change CDC Covid reports, Trump appointees at DHS tried to 'blunt' scientific findings they thought were unfavorable to Trump washingtonpost.com/health/2021/04…
2-"Trump appointees in the Department of Health and Human Services last year privately touted their efforts to block or alter scientists’ reports on the coronavirus to more closely align with then-President Donald Trump’s more optimistic messages about the outbreak
3-"according to newly released documents from congressional investigators. The documents provide further insight into how senior Trump officials approached last year’s explosion of coronavirus cases in the United States.
Hmmm:
This morning Manhattan DA investigators seized financial records from the apartment of Jennifer Weisselberg
Incl her ex-husband's bank accounts & credit cards & his statements of net worth & tax filings rel to Trump Org & Wollman Rink washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2-"'My knowledge of the documents and my voice connect the flow of money from various banks and from personal finances that bleed directly into the Trump Organization,' she said in an interview Thursday.
3-"Investigators, she added, now have her ex-husband’s 2019 and 2020 statements of net worth, his tax returns and copies of Wollman Rink checks from private events that she claims were deposited incorrectly.
And..
Oh my GOD:
Ben Carson is launching an org called 'Little Patriots'
"'It will be something like the Boy Scouts..But heavily exposed to the real history of America'”
And you know it'll be a FOR-profit org, right?!
Just what America's kids need... washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/form…
2-Carson wants to HEAL THE COUNTRY
From what, his actions w/ Trump?
"For the most part, Carson’s newly created American Cornerstone Institute will allow the good doctor to travel the country, in an effort to heal the nation with roundtable discussions about conservative values.
3-"But one thing he’s particularly excited about is using the think tank to launch a program he’s calling Little Patriots. “You probably notice when ISIS goes into a place, they destroy the history; they destroy the monuments..History is what gives you identity.”
NYT:
"..$3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days..what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign {&WinRed].."
Trump's fraud is beginning to be exposed
And it's BAD
2-"Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out. As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed.
3-"It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a “money bomb,” that doubled a person’s contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language.
NY State prosecutors investigating Trump have now subpoenaed the personal bank records of Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg & are 'questioning' gifts he & his family rec'd from Trump
AND: "Separately, the prosecutors are also seeking a new round of internal documents from the Trump Organization, including general ledgers from several of its more than two dozen properties that the company did not turn over last year
"according to the people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details. The ledgers offer a line-by-line breakdown of each property’s financial situation, including daily receipts, checks and revenues.
