Right, to the exclusion of coveting, say, a real-life mobster conspiring with Russia to take over a country, right? That's too cray cray.

Will the @nytimes run multiple above the fold stories about this? Given 2016 reporting this was clearly established as a vital issue.

The email isn't the problem. The hypocrisy and double standards are the problems.

You’ll write about this every day for the next 600 days, right?

Its not personal, that’s just the coverage an email scandal demands, right?

"Most people" are not patronage appointees of a man who repeatedly bashed his opponent for using a private server for emails.

PR town major: Our hospital is at capacity, people will start dying. Hello USA government!

The Latest: Mayors to meet Puerto Rico's governor to plead for supplies in wake of Hurricane Maria.

Mayor of town in Puerto Rico: Our hospital is at capacity, people will start dying.

Why is our government not addressing this with urgency?

Our federal government is absolutely failing in addressing the Puerto Rico catastrophe. 3.5 million Americans being failed by our government

Q: Is Donald PROJECTING when he says that Jong-un DOESN'T care about starving/killing his own people

It is all projection all the time.

And is "Rocket Man" meant as an insult or as a compliment?

Manafort, Trump, Stone go way back to 1980 & Sater to 2002

1979
Roy Cohn Introduces Trump to Nixon ‘Dirty Trickster’ Roger Stone

1980
Stone and Manafort Go Into Business

Roger Stone founds a lobbying practice with Paul Manafort; Trump becomes one of Stone’s first clients. In the 1980s, Trump hires Manafort as his lawyer on gambling and real estate issues. By 1988, Stone is one of Trump’s closest advisers.


1984
Alleged Russian Mobster Buys Condos in Trump Tower
David Bogatin, a 38-year-old former Soviet Army pilot and Russian émigré who arrived in America seven years earlier with just $3 in his pocket, pays $6 million for five condominium units in a luxurious new Manhattan high-rise, Trump Tower. At the time, Russian mobsters were beginning to invest in high-end US real estate as a way to launder money from their criminal enterprises.

2000
Trump and Stone Explore Presidential Run
Roger Stone serves as chairman of Donald Trump’s presidential exploratory advisory committee.


2002
Felix Sater Enters the Picture
Russian-born Felix Sater and his company Bayrock Group — a Trump Tower tenant — begin working with Trump on a series of real estate development deals, one of which becomes Trump SoHo.

EDIT & FYI:

In 2006, the year he reportedly began working for Deripaska, Manafort bought a condo in Trump Tower for $3,675,000 through an LLC called John Hannah. John is Manafort’s middle name, and Hannah is the middle name of that of his then-business partner, Rick Davis.

Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli must go through psychiatric exam :NYDN


Source: New York Daily News

This bro’s got issues.

A federal judge has signed an order for a psychiatric exam for convicted Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli, just days after yanking his $5 million bail, court records show.

Brooklyn Federal Judge Kiyo Matsumoto signed off on the test for the 34-year-old on Tuesday, according to court records.

The reason for the exam and who requested it remains a mystery, as the motion is sealed and not available to the public.

Matsumoto ordered Shkreli held without bail on Sept. 13, after he posted a screed on Facebook offering a $5,000 bounty for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair.

He insisted the Facebook post was a joke, and wrote a letter apologizing to the court, but the judge wasn’t swayed.

Shkreli — who hiked the price of an AIDS drug from $13.50 to $750 a pill when he ran Turing Pharmaceuticals — was convicted in August of securities fraud and a related conspiracy count.
