Rudy’s friend Pavel Fuchs 'made threat' after Trump inauguration aljazeera.com/news/2019/01/o…

Pavel Fuchs, a Ukrainian oligarch who negotiated with Trump and reportedly works with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, stands accused of making a threat of violence against a US-based businessman involved in selling him “bad” inauguration seats

Fuchs was furious that two tickets he purchased for $200,000 left him and a Ukrainian member of parliament with bad seats, according to two well-placed sources speaking to Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit, a Ukrainian newspaper editor and other journalists.

Um not legal?

Corsi says Mueller has summoned his stepson to testify before grand jury - The Washington Post apple.news/AhrkuYA8zTWq5V…

Corsi said that Mueller’s investigators appeared focused on text messages he and Stettner exchanged in which Stettner said that a computer that had sat on Corsi’s desk had been “scrubbed,” an apparent reference to the deletion of messages

The subpoena to Stettner indicates that a grand jury that’s hearing evidence in the special counsel investigation is apparently scheduled to convene with new witnesses for the first time in several weeks.

Trump’s inaugural fund spent lavishly at his DC hotel, new docs show - ABC News - via @ABC abcn.ws/2SPQEqR

in some instances, directed to pay Trump’s political advisers. That included nearly $2.7 million to the company of Brad Parscale, who handled digital operations for the inaugural. A separate company, Fortalice Solutions LLC, which specializes in cyber protection, was paid $450k

The tax filing showed that the committee spent $104 million of the $107 million it raised. By way of comparison, for the 2009 inauguration, then-president elect Barack Obama’s team raised roughly $53.2 million and reported spending about $51 million.

Trump Russia: transcripts detail how FBI debated if DONALD was 'following directions' - CNNPolitics cnn.com/2019/01/14/pol…

In the chaotic aftermath following Comey's firing, a half-dozen senior FBI officials huddled to set in motion the momentous move to open an investigation into President Donald Trump that included trying to understand why he was acting in ways that seemed to benefit Russia.

They debated a range of possibilities, according to portions of transcripts of two FBI officials' closed-door congressional interviews obtained by CNN.

On one end was the idea that Trump fired Comey at the behest of Russia.

Kremlin has long denied that it had anything to do with the infiltration of the NRA and the broader American conservative movement. A U.S. intelligence report reviewed by The Daily Beast tells a different story.
thedailybeast.com/kremlin-blesse…

Torshin, the Russian central bank official who spent years aggressively courting NRA leaders, briefed the Kremlin on his efforts and recommended they participate, according to the report.

Its existence and contents have not previously been reported

While there has been speculation that Torshin &?Butina had the Kremlin’s blessing to woo the NRA—& fed prosecutors have vaguely said she acted “on behalf of the Russian federation”—no one in the WH or the USIC has publicly stated as much.

Oops
F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia nyti.ms/2RH4nD4

law enforcement officials became so concerned by Trump's behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests

Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether Trump’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security.

Agents also sought to determine whether he was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.

Donald is terrified of the far-right echo chamber washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…

The government isn’t shut down because of Donald’s unbelievable cluelessness as a dealmaker.

It’s shut down because of his many fears.

Donald is afraid of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Matt Drudge, Laura Ingraham and the rest of the far-right echo chamber. (He sees Sean Hannity as more of a house pet.)

Steve Wynn, was embroiled in litigation involving Obama-era rules governing how companies could distribute tips gathered by their employees. Months after the meeting request, the Trump administration revised those rules to make them far friendlier to employers.

@weareoversight

It is unclear why the White House made the request for the meeting with acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall, which was uncovered in a FOIA discovery by the group @weareoversight and has not been previously reported.

Top Trump Backer Financed Supreme Court Confirmation Fights Through Shadowy Network thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back… via @thedailybeast

A top conservative (and shady AF) judicial assho...er “activist” used a sprawling web of interconnected groups to not only help fund DONALD’S INAUGURATION but to help pave the way for the CONFIRMATION of his SCOTUS nominees.

Previously unreported documents obtained by The Daily Beast provide the first glimpse into the finances of a key node in that network, traced to Federalist Society president Leonard Leo, a major player in Washington’s wars over the makeup of the federal judiciary.

Russian state television and government officials appear to be deeply concerned about the information Butina has provided to U.S. authorities.

Russian state media seems to be preparing the public for upcoming revelations of a sexual nature, openly comparing Butina with Anna Chapman, who was arrested along with nine other agents in 2010, all of whom were exchanged for 4 spies held by Moscow. (Among them, Sergei Skripal)

Hackers have published cellphone numbers, cc data and private comms of nearly every German political party, last month that reportedly also affected German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the only main party spared n.pr/2VuV884

In the days before Christmas, hackers quietly posted online the data of some of Germany's most powerful leaders "in a kind of Advent calendar,"

Some of the stolen information was years old, and it seems the data dump does not include any political bombshells. Instead, it seems intended to embarrass officials — and inflict personal damage by exposing private chats and financial details.

Happy Ewe Deer from Lulu & Rokeenie.
Looking forward to better days.

Due to🎄& life poop, I embraced my inner Libra & took a semi tweet-of-absence.

I now have no clue what’s going on anywhere - I took a break from tv for a few wks too - but I do recommend extended BloodPressureBreaks.

I’m grateful for you all
Happy New Year.
Let’s kick ass.

This is what I’ve been keeping busy with. (Ongoing and not anywhere near completion) I’ve been documenting events, tweets, tragedies, and other important dates.

The numbers in red are how many entries each year so far.

Will share some soon.
