Documents obtained by ProPublica show stark differences in how Donald Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy figures for two Manhattan buildings, giving a lender different figures than they provided to New York City tax authorities. The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.

For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.

yeah- except he's been doing stuff like that for a while now and nobody does anything about it. not sure why that family accepted to meet with him either- what we're they think he'd do, take their feelings into consideration or something?

How is that even a signature?  Lazy fuck.

He uses the best words. Stable diplomatic genius. 

This guy just keeps shitting his pants for everyone to see, he's so far out of his league it's ridiculous.

Interesting. Given Sondlands break from Trump, it looks like the net is tightening around Trump and Giuliani. As his position is basically: I did what I was ordered to do without knowing the bigger picture.

Guessing others will do the same. If they can get away with it, that is (looks at Mulvaney and Pompeo).

Giuliani is still on my "works with SDNY"-list, btw. 

And interestingly, Bolton was indeed close to the whistleblower...wasn't too far off on that, I guess

A youtube for the capitalist end of the world types: Schiff - known for predicting the 2008 crash - predicts an even bigger crash in the coming years. Enjoy.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry has informed President Donald Trump he intends to step down, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

His resignation notification came just hours after acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters Trump instructed Perry to consider his personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, despite not being a government employee, the lead on all Ukraine policy matters.

Perry also reportedly was a key driver in Trump’s Ukraine policy, which prompted House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

I once talked to an econ grad student who referred to Schiff as a charlatan: if you are constantly predicting crashes then you are bound to be right in the long run, even in the short run as the relations between the state and markets and population increase change. There have been 47 economic crises in the US since the Articles of Confederation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States

Another one is inevitable, but it might have a different cast since Trump has been elected and national politics has changed a lot since and because of his election. 

What a bullshit story, if these fucking plebs knew anything about technology at all, the image of the server was all that was required for the FBI forensic investigation.  These were the morons who wanted to "shut down" the internet.  FFS.

re: a bigger crash.. it's not unlikely.. i mean.. the banks are more or less doing all the same shit. btw, the book "HomeWreckers" is about how people wilbur ross and mnuchen in trumps cabinet were positioned to make tons of cash after the previous collapse and how they basically got indieMac bank for free and made a deal so any forclosed loans would be covered by the gov't. so they forcefully booted people from their homes and foreclosed so they could collect the gov't subsidies. real fucking scumbags..
