Trump claims he's never met his rape accuser; this photo says different

Regarding the “story” by E. Jean Carroll, claiming she once encountered me at Bergdorf Goodman 23 years ago. I’ve never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book—that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.

Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda—like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It’s just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence. Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news—it’s an epidemic.

Ms. Carroll & New York Magazine: No pictures? No surveillance? No video? No reports? No sales attendants around?? I would like to thank Bergdorf Goodman for confirming they have no video footage of any such incident, because it never happened.

False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.

If anyone has information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms. Carroll or New York Magazine, please notify us as soon as possible. The world should know what’s really going on. It is a disgrace and people should pay dearly for such false accusations.

So what part of this Trump v Iran mess do I have wrong?

1) Trump pulls out of a deal with Iran and 5 other countries that says Iran will never build a nuclear weapon, the deal
takes away anyway for Iran to make bomb grade nuclear material, and the deal gives the IAEA (International Atomic
Energy Agency [I think that is it]) the right to inspect anywhere in Iran 24/7.

2) Much of the deal was written by Ernie Moniz who has a B.S. in Physics from Boston College, a PhD in Physics from
Stanford, taught physics @ M.I.T. including nuclear physics, was chairman of the physics dept. @ M.I.T., and has 30+
years in nuclear non proliferation work. All of which made him the best in the world or one of the best in the world
to craft such an agreement to keep Iran from ever making a nuclear weapon.

3) After breaking the agreement w/Iran Trump then demands that Iran live up to that very same agreement and starts
to threaten Iran w/military action.

4) The US military flies a drone in order to spy on Iran's military over or near the border of Iran so if America should
launch an attack on Iran we would know where to strike.

5) Iran shoots down the drone and now Trump is looking to start a war?

*************
This is just insane.

Close Pelosi ally Rep. Jan Schakowsky backs impeachment inquiry

Source: Washington Post

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (Ill.), a member of the House Democratic leadership, is calling for an impeachment inquiry into President Trump, arguing that doing so will allow lawmakers to obtain more evidence of the president’s alleged misconduct.

The move is likely to put greater pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has repeatedly rebuffed calls from members of her caucus to open such an inquiry.

“Today, I am announcing that I believe that the House of Representatives should begin an impeachment inquiry, officially, because President Trump certainly has committed all kinds of offenses that meet the standard of impeachment, high crimes and misdemeanors,” Schakowsky said in a video posted on her official website late Wednesday.

“Instituting the impeachment inquiry will actually enable us to get more information, more documents, have the force of the Constitution behind us to get even more evidence of the president’s deserving to be impeached,” she said.

Hope Hicks and the White House lawyers show yesterday should have been the last straw.
We have 272 proven contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia and the Mueller
report gave 10 cases of obstruction of justice by Trump and company. Enough is enough
and if therepublicans in the senate want to stand should to shoulder with that traitor fine,
let 'em.

I need a break because this was yesterday alone.

The Saudi Crown Prince was and is connected to the murder and dismemberment of
Mr. Khashoggi. Trump, Kushner, and Pompeo all tried to cover it up and in Kushner's
case he might have helped by providing classified info to M.B.S..

4 Russians indicted for shooting down the airliner over the Ukraine and they were
connected to the FSB and the GRU both of which screwed with out 2016 elections.

Mike Pence's national security advisor is linked to the NRA/Russian spy Maria Butina.

Hope Hicks.

But in the end what about HRC's emails?

I forgot about Deutsche Bank/Money Laundering/Trump too.

How did I miss this? Ivanka Trump, Kushner took in as much as $135M last year

Ivanka Trump, Kushner took in as much as $135M last year

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/ivanka-trump-4m-dc-hotel-year-63719453

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner took in as much as $135 million in revenue during their second year as aides to President Donald Trump, generated from their vast real estate holdings, stocks and bonds and even a book deal, according to their financial disclosures released Friday.

Ivanka Trump's stake in her family's Washington, D.C., hotel down the street from the Oval Office generated $3.95 million in revenue in 2018, barely changed from a year earlier. The hotel, a favorite gathering spot for foreign diplomats and lobbyists, is at the center of two federal lawsuits claiming Donald Trump is violating the Constitution's ban on foreign government payments to the president.

Another big Ivanka Trump holding, a trust that includes her personal business selling handbags, shoes and accessories, generated at least $1 million in revenue in 2018, down from at least $5 million the year before. Ivanka Trump announced in July of last year that she planned to close her fashion company to focus on her work as a White House adviser for her father.

Kushner appears to have cut his debt. He had loans and lines of credit worth at least $27 million at the end of last year, down from a minimum value of $40 million the previous year. His lenders include Bank of America, Citi Group and Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is also a major lender to President Trump's company and has been subpoenaed by congressional investigators looking into his finances.
