Friday, and we made it to the weekend! David Waldman beat us to it, recording today’s KITM in the wee hours of this morning. Therefore we’ll have to wait until Monday to hear David’s impression of Trump’s critique of Alec Baldwin’s impression of Trump.
What the hell is going on at Trump’s Panama property? Trump officials are fighting eviction from the Panama hotel they manage. That is, they are fighting eviction with punches upside the heads of the evicting security guards, while the majority owner pulls a Nero with Für Elise in the lobby. Investors in the Panama Trump Tower included a guy who laundered drug money along with Columbian cartels. Donald Trump knows just what to do with people like that, as long as they aren’t investors. Republicans are not just attached to Trump — they’re his customers, too. Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee were behind the leak of private text messages.
David looks into the pro-Trump polling operation of dark money group America First Policies. Leaked documents reveal new details on a Russian troll farm stirring up real protests and targeting Americans to push propaganda. Paid lifetime member of the NRA, and prominent Russian politician Alexander Torshin has been bragging for a half dozen years or so about his connections, and the FBI never had it so good.
