‼️As the Federal Reserve Chair & Steven Mnuchin scrambled to bail out markets at the start of the pandemic, top Trump officials were in near-constant contact with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink—the world’s largest asset manager whose firm stood to benefit.🤬

nytimes.com/2021/06/24/bus…
In the weekend before Fed unveiled their bailout package on March 23—including its 1st-ever program to buy corporate bonds—Mnuchin spoke to Fink 5 times *more than anyone other than the Fed chair, whom he spoke with 9 times.

TOTAL #corruption.🤬
Fink joined Mnuchin, Powell and WH Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow for a brief call at 7:25pm the evening before the Fed’s big announcement, based on Mnuchin’s calendars.

How many billions did Fink make from insider information?🤬

#corruption
👇🏼In the weekend prior to the Fed’s announcement of the Wall Street bailout package, Mnuchin spoke to Fink even more than Trump or @GOP Sen. @MikeCrapo, the then-chair of the @SenateFinance Committee.
#BlackRock is “about as close to a government arm as you can be, without being the Federal Reserve” and would have benefited through “tons of information, tons of secondary financial benefits.”

And Mnuchin gave his cronies insider knowledge of the Fed’s Wall Street bailout.🤬

‼️Erik Prince recruited a former British spy to train conservatives in espionage who were sent to gather dirt & sabotage the reputations of people/organizations considered threats to Trump’s far-right agenda.

Bankrolled by @GORETEXna heiress Susan Gore.🤬
nytimes.com/2021/06/25/us/…
The shady operatives concocted fake cover stories and made large campaign donations to gain entrée to Democratic events, such as the Las Vegas presidential debate and a DC fund-raiser attended by Democratic lawmakers.

I’ve been in politics a long time—this is over the top stuff.
One operative got a job working for a consortium of wealthy liberal donors in the Wyoming Investor Network (WIN) that had decided to back some moderate @GOP, giving her access to inside info.

“It’s the entire strategy. Where the money is going. What we’re doing long term.”🤬

Sicknick’s partner: “To know that some members of Congress—along w/Trump who Brian & I once supported but who can only now be viewed as the mastermind of that horrible attack—are not acknowledging Brian's heroism that day is unforgivable & un-American.”
cnn.com/2021/06/23/opi…
“Only a handful of @SenateGOP showed that they possessed the moral compass to do the right thing by voting yes (on the #January6thCommission), putting America first, and showing warmth and compassion for the officers (as well as their families) who protect them daily.”
“By denying or downplaying the viciousness and trauma that occurred on January 6, (@GOP) members of Congress & the people who continue echoing their false narrative are engaging in a specific kind of psychological harm…known as ‘secondary wounding.’"

‼️William Braddock—a @GOP candidate running the seat being vacated by Rep. @CharlieCrist’s—was secretly recorded **threatening to send “a #Russian and Ukrainian hit squad”** to his Republican primary opponent, Anna Paulina Luna, to make her “disappear.”

politico.com/news/2021/06/1…
Braddock: “I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the USA…But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f---ing speed bump in the road. She's a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”😳
Braddock: “I have access to a hit squad, too, Ukrainians and Russians…don't get caught out in public supporting Luna…Luna’s gonna go down and I hope it's by herself.”

He also made claims about getting $$ from fellow Freemasons or by importing millions from Malta & Gibraltar.🧐

🔥The Manhattan DA’s office appears to have entered the final stages of a CRIMINAL tax investigation into Trump’s long-time CFO Allen Weisselberg, who could face charges this summer.

Weisselberg knows Trump's financial dirt. If he rolls, Trump is TOAST.😎
nytimes.com/2021/06/15/nyr…
A grand jury has been hearing evidence about Weisselberg, who is facing major scrutiny, as prosecutors are trying to flip him to get his cooperation with a broad investigation into Trump and Trump Org.

And prosecutors have Weisselberg’s personal #TaxReturns.🧐

#TrumpCrimeFamily
The probe of Weisselberg focuses partly on whether he failed to pay taxes on valuable TAXABLE benefits that Trump gave him & his family: apartments, leased cars, tens of thousands of dollars in private school tuition for at least 1 of his grandchildren.

#SHOCKER (not): before Trump announced that Bill Barr would step down as AG, Trump began pressuring Barr’s eventual replacement to have the @TheJusticeDept take up his FALSE claims of election “fraud.”

TOTAL #corruption. ARREST AND PROSECUTE TRUMP NOW.🤬

nytimes.com/2021/06/15/us/…
Trump’s emails (via his assistant) to incoming AG Jeffrey Rosen show how Trump corruptly pressured Rosen to put DOJ’s power behind bogus lawsuits that had *already failed* to try to prove his false claims that extensive voter fraud had affected the election results.🤬
Time and time again, Trump flouted an established anticorruption norm that DOJ acts independently of the WH on criminal investigations or law enforcement actions.

Instead, Trump used and abused DOJ for his own gain, whether politically or to protect him and his cronies.🤬

‼️Trump’s lies that the vote was “rigged” sparked a campaign to terrorize election officials—especially @GOP in #Georgia who refuted Trump’s lies—with threats of hanging, firing squads, torture and bomb blasts.

THIS IS NOT AMERICAN.🤬

#TrumpInsurrection

Tricia Raffensperger—wife of @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger—received multiple threatening texts:

“You and your family will be killed very slowly.”
“We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”
“Somebody in your family is going to have a very unfortunate incident.”
In November, the Raffenspergers went into hiding for nearly a week after intruders broke into the home of their widowed daughter-in-law. That night, Oath Keepers—a RW terrorist group that supports Trump’s bid to overturn the election—were found outside the Raffenspergers’ home.🤬
