Last, really for government’s “victims”? Or more as slush fund/payroll set-up for Trump election disruption thugs in November?

Fourth, small matter, but this should be the end of OLC, corrupted beyond repair—such obvious error and BS.

Third, really bad dirty tricks on the federal court (now under court inquiry, nyuk, nyuk). Also all slush fund payments are stayed.

Second, what independent review? Everyone involved is a creepy Trump insider — few more so than Blanche and Epshteyn.

So many stinking problems here. 🧵 First, what harm? Every president releases tax returns (except crooked Trump, but he said he would). https://t.co/JBCXE01KmY

And Trump’s sick mind would rather destroy Republicans than fail alone. https://t.co/sjJPkao2cC

If you’re interested, here is the judge’s actual order requiring a response from the Trump lawyers. It’s terse and calm, but it’s telling.  Should send a shiver down their spines . . . that is, i...

It looks like the judge in the case agreed there was a real prospect of fraud on the court, and a proper inquiry into the crooked slush fund will begin! Bring it on. Good news.

Hopefully this puts an end to Trump’s corrupt ‘mob bust-out gone wrong’ at the Kennedy Center. Now questions of defalcation and misprision arise for the board members who participated in this scheme.

As we’ve said all along, the law names the Kennedy Center after President Kennedy and requires the Board to follow proper procedures—including allowing all Board members to vote—before undertaking ...

So watch and (fingers crossed 🤞🤞😊) enjoy as the crooked MAGA DOJ and Trump’s sketchy lawyers have to explain themselves in court about why their settlement-that’s-called-a-settlement-but-wasn’t-dis...

One inquiry worth pursuing: was this fund set up as a vehicle to pay a Trump political militia to meddle in November’s elections with intimidation, harassment or even violence against voters at pol...

The pleading requests that the court, via either of two possible channels, reopen the case under its general authority to protect the judicial system from deliberate fraud on the court or wrongful ...

The corrupt slush fund scheme was for sure a “settlement”; that’s on the title of the slush fund document, and they even used the caption, title, court and case number of the case from which they ...

That’s multiply stinky: from the failure of candor to the court; from dodging the court’s announced “case or controversy” inquiry; and from ducking the court’s powers of approval or disapproval of ...

Short version: when the court started looking at whether this was a sham “case or controversy” with Trump on both sides, the Trump lawyers (on one side) withdrew their complaint and “settled” with ...

If you hate Trump’s wildly corrupt $1.8 billion “cop-beaters’ slush fund” as much as I do, you’ll enjoy reading this pleading by outraged retired federal judges calling out the “deceit” and “fraud ...

The Post editorial page has become a creepy sibling to the WSJ’s Polluter Page, when it should fly the moral standard of the paper.

A fading and degraded Washington Post is not an outcome justifiable by financial concerns, particularly not from owners with uncountable wealth.

Are financials a metric? Of course. But other metrics also matter in a democracy that counts on a fearless and independent Fourth Estate.
