Not 'new' news, but retrospective comparisons to #TrumpRussia are pretty déjà vu.
In 1987:
Donald Trump, Wharton Dean Donald Palmer and former White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan named in scheme to divert Wharton funds to Contra rebels in Nicaragua. Big scandal then.
1/4
President Ronald Reagan claimed he had no knowledge of their scheme. Wharton secretary acted as link between Wharton Dean, Russell Palmer, and Oliver North.
2/4
 Link to Daily Pennsylvanian full article pdf (from 4/2/1987):
library.upenn.edu/docs/kislak/dp…
Oliver North used money from Donald Trump to buy ammunition given to U.S. enemy as part of Ronald Reagan's Iran-Contra affair.
Oliver North became fall guy. All should have been charged/convicted as well.

So, does this lead Trump to think he can get away with it like Pres. Reagan did? Not so sure. Lessons from 1987 hopefully were learned by prosecutors then & passed forward to people like Robert Mueller today.
Hope Trump charged in #TrumpRussia affair.

Erik Paulsen is known for his "pop-up" sessions.
He suddenly pops up unannounced (or announced online mere minutes before it happens) in grocery store aisle for 10 minutes to talk to people. That's NOT accessible.

➡️That's another way of hiding from constituents.
#PaulsenFail
Erik Paulsen's well-known for not holding town halls.
He hasn't really held town hall in over 7 years...ones he claims to have held recently were limited to hand-picked people, in hand-picked locations, and hand-picked questions.

➡️Those were NOT real town halls.
#PaulsenFail
Erik Paulsen's also well-known for his "empty seat" town halls.
You know, the kind of town halls that his constituents set up and try to get him to come to since he refused to hold any on his own.

➡️That's not being accessible.

Zephyr Teachout is a well-known political activist. She's also Associate Professor of Law at Fordham University and has worked tirelessly against corruption and social injustice.

She is a specialist in antitrust law and corruption, and is the best choice for NY Attorney General.
Zephyr's pretty amazing...I've been watching her for several years.
* Ran against Andrew Cuomo for Gov/got ~35% of vote, pushed him to left.
* Tireless to root out corruption & 1 of first to support "little people."

"Ms. Teachout is, in effect, the godmother of the current moment — the first of the spate of female candidates, campaigning around the country now, to emerge from anonymity and reveal the depths of dissatisfaction with establishment politics."

(1) Here's a list of 8 of 23 amazing, actionable intelligence that the Marines gained from their storming of the CIA headquarters a week ago. Link to the original source will be at the end of this list.

Semper Fi!
(2) ITEM 1: CIA headquarters has been raided, the FBI has been neutralized, and $35 trillion of U.S. Treasury embezzled funds have been recovered. About $100 trillion has been embezzled by the Bushs and the Clintons.
(3) "ITEM 2: President Donald Trump reopened the President John F. Kennedy assassination files and George H.W. Bush was behind it. JFK autopsy photographs were falsified."
