Some more good excerpts on Manafort from the big AP story:

 

Simon Maloy

Manafort was apparently bold/stupid enough to embezzle $19 million from a billionaire friend of Vladimir Putin

(really wish we had twitter auto-embeds here)

 

Early in the 2016 presidential campaign, Deripaska's representatives openly accused Manafort of fraud and pledged to recover the money from him. After Trump earned the nomination, Deripaska's representatives said they would no longer discuss the case.

 

Sort of makes more sense why he showed up on Trump's doorstop willing to work for free.

Latinos aren't reporting sexual assault and domestic violence for fear of being deported, LAPD says http://bit.ly/2mQtKPb

Fear of deportation is most likely the reason for the big drop in the number of Latinos reporting sexual assault and domestic violence since the beginning of 2017, the Los Angeles Police Department said at a press conference Tuesday.

 

LAPD chief Charlie Beck said that sexual assault reporting has declined by 25 percent among the city’s Latinos, and domestic violence reporting by 10 percent since the start of the year, compared to the same period in 2016, when Latinos reported 164 sexual assaults and 1,120 domestic violence incidents.

 

No other ethnic groups saw comparable declines.

They're also finding Latino witnesses for prosecutions unwilling to show up to court because ICE is staking out the courthouses, leading to failed or dropped prosecutions. The system works!

A well-oiled political apparatus.

Whatever happened to Trump's secret plan he had to destroy ISIS?

 

If he just would have done that inauguration day, he never would have had to have been embarrassed by his Muslim ban.

 

It's only gonna take 30 days, what's the rush?

ISIS attack in London, this is the moment Trump has been waiting for, I bet he can't wait to get on the Twitter and brag.

One guy getting stabbed is an ISIS attack?

 

So now it looks like people were hit by a car as well.

Update: 4 dead, 20 injured. Not great.

Cyber crime investigations are going to be cut back to help fund Trump's golf weekends in Florida even though he told everyone he wouldn't have enough time to golf. He would be too busy working in the WH.

We are going to spend half a billion dollars because the president and his third wife cant stand each other.

The guy whose kid OD'd and sold everything to follow Trump around and sing Trump songs at all his rallies as abandoned the Donald. Says his support of this Health Care bill is going back on his word.

 

He lied to you sir? That's unusual. Actually, I feel bad for the guy. He obviously loved his son very much, and he is still trying to raise money for rehab programs and such.

Nunes, who has been whining about "illegal leaks" since the start of things and has been trying to make that the center of any Trump/Russia/general corruption-incompetence discussion, held a press conference today to leak a bunch of classified info regarding Trump's team and possibly Trump himself having 'incidental collection' of some of their communications.

 

Nunes also decided that he needed to brief Trump and Co. and hold this press conference before briefing the ranking Democrats on the committee
