    No matter how many times the Trump administration tries to deny shady maneuvers and ascribe them to someone else, they have Trump's fingerprints all over them, just like the bogus contour on the hurricane trajectory map drawn with a Sharpie pen that Trump tried to cover up by coercing an unnamed official of NOAA to make an unsigned, writtern statement essentially agreeing with his doctored chart.

    The Trump administration is now admitting that Trump was involved in the firing of Berman, although it is still trying to downplay it as just a formality of Trump signing off on it.

    Trump's selection, Clayton, has no experience as a prosecutor.



    White House admits Trump was involved in firing of top US attorney after Trump claimed he wasn't
    Toobin says firing of top US attorney reeks of corruption

    White House admits Trump involved in firing of top US attorney after Trump claimed he wasn't - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "The White House on Monday admitted that President Donald Trump was involved in the removal of US Attorney Geoffrey Berman after Trump had claimed he was "not involved" in the process this weekend.

    Speaking at the White House Monday, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump was "involved in the sign-off capacity" as she sought to explain the removal of Berman as a simple swap that would allow Jay Clayton, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to take the post.

    Clayton and Trump also discussed the job, which leads the powerful Southern District of New York office.

    During a recent meeting, Trump asked Clayton if he was interested in a job during a potential second term, according to a person close to the situation.

    Clayton, who has never been a litigator or prosecutor, said he wanted to move back to New York and expressed interest in the SDNY position with the expectation it would be in a second term. Clayton was then told that it was accelerating and would be announced."

    A belated summary of Trump's legal saga concerning the investigations related to Stormy Daniels.

    In July 2019, the federal investigation by the Southern District of NY closed the case about the payments to Stormy Daniels, to the chagrin of Cohen who is the only one who was convicted and sentenced. Others involved in the federal investigation such as Pecker of AMI had immunity agreements which precluded them from being charged and incarcerated.

    The Manhattan District Attorney office was still investigating Trump's activity related to Stormy Daniels.



    The Manhattan D.A. Is Investigating Trump's Payment to Stormy Daniels
    The district attorney issued a subpoena to the Trump Organization to figure out whether it falsified business records related to the infamous $130,000 payment.
    By Alison Durkee

    The Manhattan D.A. Is Investigating Trump's Payment to Stormy Daniels

    excerpt:

    "The Manhattan investigation comes weeks after the Southern District of New York's much-hyped federal inquiry into the hush-money payments ended with a whimper. Though news of the investigation's conclusion was accompanied by the release of unredacted documents suggesting likely conversations between Trump, Cohen, and Hope Hicks about the payments, no additional charges are expected to be filed in the probe. (Cohen is currently serving a three-year prison sentence for charges related to the Daniels payment.) The Trump Organization seems to have gotten off particularly easy in the federal investigation, as CNN reported that while prosecutors initially sought to interview company executives in January, they never followed up on the request and the interviews never took place. Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, who was allegedly involved with the payments, was granted immunity for cooperating with prosecutors, as were executives from American Media Inc.

    Whether Vance's investigation will be able to accomplish what federal prosecutors could not, though, remains to be seen. As the Times notes, the Manhattan D.A. has a history of not following through on holding the Trumps accountable, having previously declined to charge Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. over allegedly misleading investors in Trump SoHo. (According to ProPublica, Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz, who donated $25,000 to Vance's reelection campaign, reportedly urged Vance to drop the charges.) And even if the falsification charges against the Trump Organization actually come to fruition, they won't carry quite the same heft as potential federal charges in the SDNY's probe: Unless business records are being falsified to cover up a crime, which is still unclear in this particular case, violating the New York state law is only considered a misdemeanor. Still, the investigation could provide another avenue to hold the Trump Organization accountable for the president's alleged transgressions, even if it lacks the spectacle of the federal probe. And much to Trump's likely chagrin, should any of his business colleagues face state charges—the president won't be able to save them with a pardon."

    An update on the Stormy Daniels saga. Both Trump and Avenatti come up empty on their financial claims in the federal Southern District Court of Ohio.



    Neither Trump Nor Avenatti Gets Cut of Stormy Daniels' $450,000 Settlement, Federal Judge Rules
    In an eight-page order, U.S. District Judge Michael Watson of the Southern District of Ohio denies Trump’s notice of registered foreign judgment seeking $293,052 of Daniels’ settlement and tosses aside Avenatti’s attorney lien seeking allegedly unpaid attorney fees from unrelated representation of Daniels.

    Neither Trump Nor Avenatti Gets Cut of Stormy Daniels' $450,000 Settlement, Federal Judge Rules | The Recorder

    excerpt:

    "Both President Donald Trump and prominent lawyer Michael Avenatti have been turned back, in one federal decision in Ohio, in their separate bids to grab chunks of a $450,000 settlement won by adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her 2018 false-arrest suit against the city of Columbus."

    Arizona, Florida, and Texas are seeing spikes in coronavirus cases, enough for some of the state and local officials to take action, including the Republican governor of Texas.

    All three are warm weather states and swing states in the 2020 election.

    To the chagrin of Trump, his gut mistakenly told him that the heat and UV would make the coronavirus go away.




    Trump's Arizona visit comes amid coronavirus surge. Some fear a fallout in his wake.
    In contrast with the president's visit six weeks ago, the state is now facing a spiking number of cases — with no signs of abating.

    Trump's visit to Arizona comes amid virus surge. Some fear a fallout in his wake.

    excerpt:

    "This time around, the president is facing a spiking coronavirus pandemic that is ravaging the state with no signs of abating.

    As of Monday night, Arizona had recorded 54,586 cases, a doubling of cases in just the last 15 days, and 1,342 deaths, according to NBC News' tally.

    The president will also visit Yuma on Tuesday morning to tour border wall construction operations. Two workers helping build the wall who live in the community of Ajo have contracted COVID-19, according to Aaron Pacheco, a spokesman for the Pima County Health Department."

    Mexico just got hit by a 7.4 Earth Quake and a warning for Tsunami has been issued. Now we can get ready for Trump to gives the three boxes of paper towel like he did with Puerto Rico.

    Trump's approach for an impending tsunami:


    "Just be calm and it will go away."

    "I've built the best tsunami detection system in the world, but I don't want the data released to the public because it makes me look bad."

    "My rally attendance was dismal because the media coverage of the tsunami scared away my supporters."

    Djokovic has come to the realization that the coronavirus isn't in embers and ashes.

    Trump and others with thoughts similar to his are fooling themselves into thinking that the virus is no longer a threat.

    Tennis star Novak Djokovic tests positive for coronavirus after participating in exhibition

    excerpt:

    "Djokovic has been criticized for organizing the tournament and bringing in players from other countries amid the coronavirus pandemic. There were no social distancing measures observed at the matches in either country."



    A portion of Djokovic’s statement:

    "It was all born with a philanthropic idea, to direct all raised funds towards people in need and it warmed my heart to see how everybody strongly responded to this.

    We organized the tournament at the moment when the virus has weakened, believing that the conditions for hosting the Tour had been met.

    Unfortunately, this virus is still present, and it is a new reality that we are still learning to cope and live with.

    I am hoping things will ease with time so we can all resume lives the way they were."

    Lolz, his statement doesn't express remorse, instead it ends with, oh, we just have to live with it

    He was partying beforehand, doesn't give a fuck now, just makes a statement that sounds like appeasement for the press even though it doesn't actually say anything

    What the hell that has to do with Trump I don't know
