Since it's Don McGahn day, who is he?

- lawyer for Citizens United, Koch PAC, Congressional Republicans, Jones Day, Trump Campaign

- libertarian who tore up the FEC

- decided Flynn was fine

- his staff gave classified intel to Nunes

motherjones.com/politics/2017/… Another fun fact about Don McGahn.

His lawyer is William Burck who also represents Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon.

Other Burck clients include FIFA and Kim Dotcom.

You know how Trump always pivots to race when he’s trying to change the media focus?

The story of Brookfield/Qatar $2 billion dollar sweetheart bailout deal for Kushner’s 666 5th Avenue property would be the leading scandal in the news today, but “Tweet!”

Background: This deal has been in the works for a long time. It's on, it's off, it never existed, it has nothing to do with Jared's punishment of Qatar, nothing to do with Qatar's purchase of Trump condos. The spin has been top notch. In the end, it's #corruption.

Sometimes it's good to go back and read the original documents. Here's the Steele Dossier. Also good to read the House & Senate Committee transcripts, Simpson's testimony, and maybe most importantly, read Mueller's charging and info docs.

documentcloud.org/documents/3259… Glenn Simpson's testimony transcript.

Rupert Murdoch's is worth around $18 billion & he will become even richer with the sale of the non-FoxNews part of his empire to Disney.

He could have done something good with his fortune. Instead, he turned FOX into a malignant & destructive force. Why?

theguardian.com/us-news/2017/j… In 2005 "Kraft and other executives, including News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch and then Citigroup chief executive and chairman Stanford Weil met Putin in the Kremlin, allegedly to discuss business."

Josh Kushner was brought in on that extremely competitive Instagram Series B round only 72 hours before Facebook bought Instagram.

He doubled his investment in 72 hours.

It almost looks like someone is funneling money to the Kushners.

Yuri Milner?

Who is having a good day today? Someone who wants John Kelly out. Someone who loves that the questions about security clearances aren't about Jared for a minute.

Still there's that constant discomfort. Knowing what you did.

#TrumpCrimeFamily This Rob Porter domestic violence story is keeping uncomfortable topics off the TV.

Like...what exactly IS Jared's involvement in the Bibi Netanyahu corruption case?
