#MOG
As Forbes reported in February, Trump International hotel in DC raised its rates to 180% of the normal seasonal charge for 3 and 4 March

That was a date upon which some adherents to the #QAnon conspiracy movement believed would see Trump once again sworn in as president

#MOG
MPD’s intelligence division confirmed with Trump Hotel management that they raised their rates as a security tactic to prevent protesters from booking rooms at their hotel should anyone travel to DC

Did Ivanka Trump accidentally on purpose commit perjury?

It sure looks like it!

#Ivanka spent five hours giving sworn deposition to lawyers from the DC DA’s office. Now, her testimony has been released and it sure looks like she lied under oath.

#MOG
queerty.com/ivanka-trump-a…
During her deposition, Ivanka was asked about Allen #Weisselberg, her father’s longtime colleague who she has known literally her entire life and who Melania Trump‘s former BFF/senior advisor says was deeply involved in the Presidential Inauguration Committee.

The “Gosh, I really don’t know him…” line is one Donald Trump frequently uses whenever he’s asked about a member from his inner circle after they’ve become ensnared in controversy–from Paul Manafort to Prince Andrew to Vladimir Putin.

'Kremlin Cruz' slammed for his ignorance about Russia after the Texan's latest tantrum

He complained about being labeled #KremlinCruz by MSNBC's Williams for sharing Russian propaganda

Trump’s Former White House Counsel Will Testify Before Congress. What Now?

It is valuable for Congress to vindicate the principle that a subpoena to a White House official has to be honored.

#Mueller’s STAR WITNESS… 2 yrs ago

The special counsel’s office relied heavily on his testimony to understand Trump’s efforts to obstruct the inquiry, to the point where the office began relaying essentially real-time requests for information to #McGahn about Trump’s actions
Episodes of obstruction

Two episodes in which #McGahn’s testimony featured prominently stood out in bright red: Trump’s demand that McGahn fire Mueller outright and, when that failed, his demand that McGahn create a false record to cover up the facts of that first meeting

THE FILIBUSTER MUST GO

Restore majority rule to save our democracy

Majority rule no longer exists in the #US Senate. Over decades, a procedure that was created to preserve majority rule has been manipulated and exploited to undermine it

#MOG citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
If 41 Senators agree to block a bill, they can—even if the other 59 Senators support it. The procedure that has upended majority rule in the Senate is called the filibuster, and there are five reasons why it must go:

#MOG
1. The filibuster undermines majority rule, the founding principle of our democracy

A minority of Senators has power to block all legislation, it is fundamentally undemocratic

2. The legislative gridlock created by the filibuster upsets the Constitution’s balance of powers.

Trump’s ‘Fringe Benefits’ for Employees Are Under Scrutiny

The investigation into the former president has led prosecutors to subpoena records from a New York City private school.

#MOG
nytimes.com/2021/05/13/nyr…
Prosecutors’ interest in any fringe benefits Trump provided to his employees is not limited to #Weisselberg.

The investigators, working for the Manhattan DA Vance, have also asked the #TrumpOrganization to turn over documents provided to other employees
The subpoena to Columbia Grammar, in addition to seeking information about the Weisselbergs, also referenced tuition payments for Mr. Trump’s teenage son, Barron, who attended the school until he finished the fifth grade.
