melania, the hight cost to taxpayers of any first lady... vs the right wing hatred of Hillary

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/what-melania-trump-makes-money-from-and-how-she-spends-it/ss-AAZEnll?ocid=winp2sv1plus&cvid=f52f728cf95f455185645b90f65fe19f

What Melania Trump makes money from, and how she spends it


Quote:
Luxury spa days
When it comes to relaxation, Melania likes to do it in style. Her go-to getaway location for R&R is the upscale, members-only Trump Spa at Mar-a-Lago (pictured), which offers facilities like massage and pedicure rooms, as well as hair and make-up stations. Melania was reportedly visiting up to twice a day in a bid to unwind during her husband's highly publicized impeachment trial last year.

However, during her term as the First Lady, Melania came under fire when it was revealed that she had spent around $64,000 of taxpayers' money on a spa break to the resort, with the private jet journey alone costing over $16,000 per hour.

Kushner and hunter

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-timeline-of-jared-kushner-s-corruption-is-everything-biographer/ar-AA15a2EY?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=c392aaa3daa945d2a542af0246424f1b

The timeline of Jared Kushner's corruption is everything: biographer


Quote:
ntercept reporter Ryan Grim told MSNBC on Sunday that the one thing he uncovered speaking to the Qataris about Jared Kushner was that if they knew Kushner would guarantee that they were punished by a years-long blockade that they would have bought Kushner's property a lot sooner.

Kushner Companies negotiated a bailout deal for 666 Fifth Avenue with the Qatari sovereign wealth fund. The moment came months after the Qatari government officials were staying in the Trump hotel in Washington on the same date as Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, who had a home in Washington at the time.

The House announced it would approach an investigation into Kushner and the Qatari purchase as well as Kushner's billion-dollar investments he's been able to scoop up from countries he was conducting foreign policy with during his father-in-law's administration. It comes amid the House Republicans pledging that they'll come after President Joe Biden's son, who does not work in the White House and does not conduct foreign policy on behalf of the Biden administration.

Why Millennials Are Using Their Phones To Learn A Language In 3 Weeks?
Speaking to MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan, the biographer of Kushner Inc., explained that the two can't be compared as remotely similar because Kushner is profiting off of his "work" he did at taxpayer expense and the relationships he built at taxpayer expense.

"It's very, very serious that, as you said, it doesn't have the sex appeal of Hunter Biden, and the missing laptop, nude photos," said Vicky Ward. "It does not have that, as you very well demonstrated, it's a complicated story. But that does not mean it isn't a very, very serious investigation. If there were such a conflict of interest, if he did conduct foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly switching sides on that blockade of Qatar by the Saudis, basically to bail out his family business, that is a criminal offense. You know, the optics of all of this were always there. My book, Kushner, Inc., does, as you say, show Kushner's financial problems as this ticking time bomb."

She went on to say that she wrote the chapters in parrel and noted that the bomb was the loan coming due and what Kushner would do now that he was working for the new president, couldn't get a security clearance, and desperately needed to unload the property. All the while, then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was furious that Kushner was conducting foreign policy behind his back.

"He's not just conducting foreign policy because he disagrees with Tillerson," Hasan said. "He's doing it allegedly for financial gain!"

He went on to mention the $2 billion that Kushner scored from the Saudis against the financial advice of all of the Saudi investment fund. The Saudi crown prince himself signed off on handing Kushner the money.

Grim cited previous reports of those looking at Kushner's prospectus of the wealth fund that was sent to Mohammed bin Salman and called it "laughable."

"All it was was a chart of their connections Kushner had made during his White House days," described Grim. "There was no sense of how it was going actually to make any returns. MBS overruled everybody else and just gave them two billion dollars for this fund that he started right after he left.

Hasan said that he's no fan of Hunter Biden and said that he thinks the president's son has profited off of his name, but that he hasn't done anything illegal, while Kushner has.

"When you put hunter Biden in Burisma, Ukraine, next to Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia, and China, and Japan, how do they stack up side by side, political scandal-wise?" Hasan asked.

"There is no comparison," said Ward. "Jared Kushner was the senior official in the White House. Hunter Biden is not in the White House. Jared Kushner was, as you say, running everything, but particularly foreign policy. And that's what makes this really just on a different scale. And to Ryan's point, one of the things that is so interesting about this wrapped-up investigation from Congress, the smoking gun is really the timing of the emails. Jared Kushner was talking, it emerges, in emails that Congress now has, in April 2016 with Brookfield, this firm that has the Qataris so majorly in it. That was long before he went anywhere near the White House. so why did the Qatari, why did Brookfield not want to do that deal then? If it had made great economic sense then, that would've been the moment to do it."

here is another great example of FE

The real reason Kyrsten Sinema left the Democratic Party


Quote:

Alex Wagner points out that despite Senator Kyrsten Sinema's lazy "both sides" explanation for leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, polling suggests that her low popularity with Democratic voters makes her vulnerable to being primaried, a risk she no longer has to be exposed to as an independent.

Respect the base: Sinema's move ignore popularity of her former party's policies


Quote:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, talks with Alex Wagner about her colleagues' continued focus on being productive regardless of Kyrsten Sinema's shifting loyalties, and emphasizes that progressive policies are widely popular are shouldn't be ignored in the effort to expand outreach to independents.

hey right wingers got a liberal equivalency to this right wing hero?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fringe-gop-candidate-and-self-proclaimed-prophet-arrested-for-threatening-to-kill-texas-congressman/ar-AA15ezi3?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=30289fbc6b684c45c64eb2a9c3f837fb

[size=20][b]Fringe GOP candidate and self-proclaimed prophet arrested for threatening to kill Texas congressmanKeith Douglas Casey, of Beaumont, has been charged with making a threat against a U.S. official, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the report said. Casey received 7.9% of the vote in the 2022 Republican primary. He also lost to Weber in 2016 and 2018 by wide margins.

The federal complaint against Casey alleges that in March “be began telling people he’d defeated Weber in the race for the spot — and that he was going to kill him,” the Chronicle reported. Staff members in Weber’s office first reported the matter to federal law enforcement as early as March 29, the report said.

“An office staffer told investigators they had received a call from a constituent at a radio station, who told them Casey called to report a ‘plot’ and said Weber and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had been involved in organized crime and had stolen the election from him,” the complaint stated. It alleged Casey had shown up to the Beaumont radio station in person several times.

IN OTHER NEWS: Jan. 6 committee is racked with 'internal paranoia' and 'bitter disputes': report

And there was this, according to the Chronicle:

“On Aug. 10, Casey allegedly visited the Jefferson County courthouse, where he told health officials he was a prophet and was a ‘servant of the most-high God,’ and had a meeting with the county judge, according to the complaint. Casey allegedly told a deputy he heard voices and that he’d been subject to wiretapping, according to the complaint.”

Weber is no stranger to controversy of his own. He recently was among the leading election deniers in the 2022 midterms. And, as Raw Story reported last year, he has a history of comparing former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Nazis.[/quote]

Davis: Time to correct the record again — Hillary Clinton did not have a single email marked ‘classified’


Quote:
There has been substantial media coverage of President Biden and former Vice President Pence both removing marked classified documents outside the White House after they left the vice presidency (and, in the case of Biden, also including after he was a U.S. senator). Both insist they did so inadvertently. 

Davis: Time to correct the record again — Hillary Clinton did not have a single email marked ‘classified’
Davis: Time to correct the record again — Hillary Clinton did not have a single email marked ‘classified’
© Provided by The Hill
Of course, the word “inadvertent” does not apply to former President Trump’s behavior. As we now know from Mr. Trump’s own admission, he knew documents he took to Mar-a-Lago were classified because, he said, he had the right to declassify them. And unlike Mr. Biden and Mr. Pence, who immediately notified the Department of Justice and the National Archives when they found the documents and have fully cooperated since, Mr. Trump resisted and forced a federal judge to issue a search warrant to retrieve dozens of conspicuously marked classified documents. 

Recently, pro-Trump/MAGA Republicans and even many in the mainstream media have inaccurately reported that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton transferred identifiable classified information in her emails to her private server.

This is false. Indeed, former FBI Director James Comey, not exactly remembered as helpful to Clinton, confirmed this in congressional testimony.  

On July 7, 2016, Comey testified before the House Oversight Committee. He agreed under questioning that the FBI, after reviewing individually the 33,000 Clinton emails in the spring and early summer of 2016, found only three e-mails that had any identifiable classified marking at all. Comey told Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) that only three e-mails contained a lower-case “c” in the middle of a paragraph. (Shortly after the hearing, the actual number was corrected from three to one.) And he stated that even classification experts would not recognize that little “c” as a classified marking.  



Asked Cartwright: “So if Secretary Clinton really were an expert at what’s classified and what’s not classified and were following the [Classified Requirements] manual, the absence of a header would tell her immediately that those three documents were not classified. Am I correct in that?” 

Replied Comey: “That would be a reasonable inference.” 

That’s right: James Comey said under oath that not even one out of 33,000 Hillary Clinton emails would be recognized by a classification expert as classified.     

He made this admission, finally, despite more than a year in 2015-16 of multiple accusations by partisan Republicans about Clinton “mishandling classified information” in her emails, tens of thousands of mainstream media mentions and running cable news chyrons about Clinton “mishandling” classified information in her emails while secretary of State; from when the story broke in the New York Times in March 2015; to Comey’s July 5, 2016,  improper public description of Clinton’s handling of emails as “extremely careless” — which polling data proved substantially politically harmed her;  through Comey’s improper Oct. 28 letter to Congress, 11 days from the presidential election, announcing a “new” “criminal investigation,” in violation of long-standing Department of Justice policies; and, finally, through Comey’s virtual whisper in his Nov. 6, 2016, late Sunday evening letter to Congress, two days before the election, stating, in effect, “Oops — no ’there’ there.”

After all this time and misreporting in the media, once again we need a reminder that, in fact, the FBI found that not one of Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 emails they reviewed contained any recognizable classified information marking.   

It would be nice if members of the mainstream media, who have recently referred to Secretary Hillary Clinton’s emails as including marked classified information, would correct the record and apologize. But don’t hold your breath. 

Lanny Davis served as a special counsel to President Bill Clinton in 1996-98 and on a post-9/11 privacy and civil liberties panel appointed by President George W. Bush. He is a co-founder of the Washington law firm Davis Goldberg Galper PLLC, specializing in legal crisis management in support of litigation and other legal issues and Trident DMG, a public relations and strategic communications firm.  His most recent book, published in 2018, was “The Unmaking of the President 2016 — How FBI Director James Comey Cost Hillary Clinton the Presidency” (Simon & Schuster).

Democratic lawmaker demands Secret Service visitor logs from homes of Trump, Pence


Quote:
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin on Tuesday demanded the Secret Service provide the House Oversight Committee with visitor logs from the homes of former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence as the panel probes the mishandling of classified documents by top government leaders.

Raskin’s request matches that of panel Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who earlier this month demanded information from the Secret Service on visitors to President Biden’s Delaware home following revelations that highly sensitive material from his time as vice president was found in the house and garage.

“Given that the U.S. Secret Service provided protection for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence during the time they stored classified materials at their respective residences, the Committee is seeking information from your agency regarding who had access to former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and former Vice President Pence’s personal residence since leaving office,” Raskin, the ranking member on the Oversight Committee, wrote in the letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.

In the letter, Raskin gives the agency until Feb. 14 to comply with the request to turn over all documents and communications related to visitor information at Pence’s Carmel, Indiana home and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club since Jan. 21, 2021.

ANOTHER Intruder Broke Into Trump's Mar A Lago


Quote:
A man was arrested in early January after managing to sneak into Mar-a-Lago and getting just outside the "family suite" where Donald Trump lives. The man said that he needed to speak to Trump, and was arrested after he refused to leave. There have been multiple people arrested for trespassing on the property in recent years, some with more nefarious intentions than others. But one thing is clear: Security at Mar-a-Lago clearly sucks, as Farron Cousins explains.

here we go again the right wingers again saying they are the real victims/ie less rights than blacks. this is standard false equivalency. note not front pages... in a normal right wing talk when they do not think they are being recorded. IE another one like trump grab um by the pussy recording. even this headline is suppressing that these people were wishing they could just Lynch the owner of this black media and his reporter son like they use to be able to do, commissionerer and head of the police saying they could find a hitman and they have front end loaders to dig the hole. You know normal right wing victim speak that the majority of trump ers love to do. .
