The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 362 - Politics and Economics

A lawyer for the Trump Organization has asked the House Judiciary Committee to stop any and all investigations into the company, arguing that there is an alleged conflict of interest with one of the lawyers consulting with the Democratic-led panel, The Washington Post reported.

Lawyer Alan Futerfas reportedly asserted in a letter on Monday that the panel must "cease and desist from any and all activities that are adverse to the Company” because it hired Berry Berke, a lawyer who works for a law firm that has previously represented the Trump Organization on a range of matters. This crossover, Futerfas argues, disqualifies the probe from investigating the company.

“This state of affairs violates recognized ethical obligations and irreparably taints the Committee’s work,” Futerfas wrote Monday in a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the Post reported.

Welp, wrap it up boys, they strenuously object

It is funny that Trump thinks anyone wants to be returned to the US right now.

As for Korea it was never a declared war, so trump can’t end it.

Pretty much this. There's a 0% of denuclearization ever happening there. Nukes are the only thing that keeps the Kim family in power.

Just the pursuit of nukes is enough. Who cares about actually building one? Just pretend to the whole time instead of spending the money on actually building one.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting the slanty-eyes face.

Good thread.

Cliff notes: Russians could combine CA and polling data to figure out who and how to microtarget using social media; Trump knew of the plan and approved to Bannon

Mr. Whelan is detained on spurious charges, and Russia is sorely mistaken if they believe the United States will stand for this inappropriate and, likely, illegal behavior," he will forcefully ad-lib, veering from the wall rhetoric because this is simply too important.
