FOIA on Comey. “Requests” for financial records from Manafort. NY State and City investigation of Trump properties.

This week is starting off well.

Yea, but what comes after “Requests” as Manafort is a slick operator.

Is ‘listen motherfucker’ next?

Right before subpoena.

Trump: I have issued an EO that makes ACLU a terrorist organization. Patriot Act forbids me to have any transaction with them.

Sometime overnight a brick will be thrown through a window at the ACLU. The attached message will say, “Nice building. Shame if something happened to it.” In Cyrillic lettering.

That would be nice but he’s no chump like the rest of the actors. Manafort’s been in the middle of some high level shit internationally, fronting as Putin’s go between and bag man in the Ukraine’s battle with Putin’s appointed stooges acting as Ukrainian presidents. He must know everything there is to know in Trump’s back story with the Russians.

Good on them. Under normal conditions, at least some of this stuff would (iirc) be exempt or at least delayed because it goes to the heart of executive-branch deliberations. But since the white house has issued multiple contradictory statements about its deliberations even the scope of documents that might be responsive would tell you a lot.

Really bad news for trump would be if the exemption cited is for a confidential source or an ongoing criminal investigation.

Trump’s consigliere is going to have to get a LOT more creative with his non-reply than Trump has been in His replies so far.

I hope I am right when I say:

‘And so it begins…’

Yeah, it’s brick throwing time.

I signed up for a monthly donation the day after the election. I figured they’d be busy.

we in Wisconsin were sure Scott walker would be in prison or at least have to resign after getting caught along with others violating a number of laws. He and the repubs simply legalized some things after the fact and successfully stopped the investigation with help from their hand picked supreme court. Don’t count your chickens before they’re trumped
