Ivanka Trump used a personal email account for government business

Word clouds about the 2016 election consistently showed that “emails” were THE big, defining thing people took away from Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, both due to the Republicans’ hyper-focus, Russia’s actions, and the media coverage. And now… well let’s see how this plays out. https://t.co/PAYaBijCvR

Costs we are paying for the Trumps

This is disgusting.

Trump, Jr. on Maine’s Senator King

Like father like son. Bigot! Liar!

Donald Trump Jr. claims a U.S. Senator from Maine wants to "repopulate Maine with Syrian and Somalian refugees." The Trump strategy is to exploit racism from Maine to Nevada and everywhere in between. https://t.co/g7rgSEc0vw

Sleazy Trump business deals

First we read about the taxes, now sleazy business deals. Just like the tax story, I doubt this will get much attention. Trump cult members don’t care what he does.

The Trump family lied to push their deals around the world. And they profited. https://t.co/b7Aqudktpq

It is becoming increasingly clear that, in the language of business schools, the Trump Organization’s core competency is in profiting from misrepresentation and deceit and, potentially, fraud. https://t.co/LUQdJVbotX

from the article:

“It is becoming increasingly clear that, in the language of business schools, the Trump Organization’s core competency is in profiting from misrepresentation and deceit and, potentially, fraud.”

Even Melania (or her staff) lies

She’s no better than the rest of that sorry family. Her staff lied about why she wore the jacket with text on it. Lying is contagious in this White House.

White House had claimed this was not a message and faulted people for asking about it. https://t.co/yJR21cqMP5

A text from a friend last night while watching @FLOTUS interview: “She’s Trump, just in a better-fitting suit.”

Melania Trump's spokeswoman said the first lady's "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" jacket had "no hidden message" and that the media shouldn't focus on it.

Now Trump says she wore it for the media https://t.co/PMJ7LeoaHi pic.twitter.com/Zf7yMMwMZL

Of course it could be the Stockholm Syndrome. Or fear that Trump will deport Melania and her parents for immigration fraud. But most likely, she really believes this horrible stuff. https://t.co/Qcg6v0rH41

Kushner apparently didn’t pay any taxes for 2009-2016

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq

It’s all legal, too and Trump has made it easier for real estate tycoons to avoid taxes.

From the article:

“The White House last year championed a sweeping revision of the nation’s tax laws that expanded many of the benefits enjoyed by real estate investors, allowing them to reap even larger deductions.
“The Trump administration was in a position to clean up the tax code and promised to get rid of some of the complexity that certain taxpayers use to their advantage,” said Victor Fleischer, a tax law professor at the University of California, Irvine. “Instead, they doubled down on those provisions, particularly the ones they have familiarity with to benefit themselves.””

This is one reason we need to see Trump’s tax returns.

Here’s an example of how he did it. Notice he even got a refund!

I don't think anyone has adequately explained how the real-estate tax deductions got expanded in the tax bill. Who on the Hill was carrying water for the Trumps and Kushners? https://t.co/29s5VgKbNh

Sad!

Republicans are fine with Trump’s corrupt activities

I just watched McConnell's AP interview.

McConnell is directly asked whether Trump's tax returns & biz dealings are legit lines of inquiry. He calls this "harassment."

Republicans keep openly stating they're just fine with Trump's corruption.

Great point about Trump. Jr.

For crying out loud, Trump’s son didn’t call the FBI when a Russian operative reached out to him. https://t.co/GWdcQsDVS3

At this point, the Senate has shown significantly more deference to Facebook and Google’s hearing-scheduling requests than to Ford’s.

Trump, Jr. tweets garbage

Trump, Jr. tweeted a lie about Anderson Cooper using a photo that was old and a disgusting fake note from Christine Blasey Ford.

"Donny Junior" was "tweeting lies." This segment lasted 9 minutes, and it was worth every minute, because these sorts of viral smears can't just be ignored. They have to be corrected. https://t.co/itK8Eklz6V

Donald Trump, Jr. mocked Dr. Ford on Instagram. His girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was fired from FOX News for showing co-workers photos of male genitalia. She was one of the women who issued public statements in support of Ailes and essentially called Gretchen Carlson a liar https://t.co/I0BPKTUtHH
