The #DOJ described the org as a #criminal enterprise & linked the NY chapter to the #Gambino#crime family. Zito later left the biker group to try become a movie star in Hollywood.

Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.
That’s the thing about criminals, they work with other criminals.
Duh.
#Blanche is now demonstrating for the jury that #MichaelCohen lied under oath for different reasons. By his own admission, it wasn’t only to demonstrate his #loyalty to #Trump. He lied also, Cohen admits, because the stakes affected him personally.
We "have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who hasn't just attacked us as journalists but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government."
Representative Ken Buck says his party needs to take the Loss and tell the public the truth.
I'm disappointed that the republican party continues to LIE.
FUCKING MORALLY BANKRUPT REPUBLICANS, in a conspiracy to cover-up an insurrection and attempt to steal our election and install a dictator. Knowingly lie, continually to the citizens, violating their oath of office months after month, year after year. Total moral collapse.
Republicans have been and continue to be in profound moral collapse.
Remember, Barr hid the Russia report for a month. Refused to release it. Then wrote a one-page mischaracterization of the report and to this day there has been only a highly redacted version of the report.
Mr. Mueller wrote a letter to Barr stating that Barr's mischaracterization was significant, and that Barr got the conclusion wrong. Mueller said there were uncharged crimes in his report on Russia-trump. And that Trump absolutely could be charged with his crimes upon leaving office.
The Federal Judge ruled that Barr wrongly withheld parts of a Russia probe memo and lied about it.
This isn’t even the 1st time we’ve learned that a person has been #indicted after the #GOP cited his claims. Nor…the 1st time a person has been accused of ties to #RussianIntelligence after the GOP leaned on their version of events.
The…characters #Republicans have sought out to substantiate Pres #Biden’s purported corruption…has come to include half a dozen #convicted & accused #criminals, + mult people the #UnitedStates govt has linked to #Russia, #corruption & subverting American #democracy.
90% of the people thrown off the voter rolls in FLA are Democrats.
#Election Voter suppression in Florida. Nearly 1 million registered voters have been dropped from Florida’s active voter rolls since last year, with Democrats & voters w/ no party affiliation (NPA) accounting for 90% of the departed.
