Jed Shugerman changes his mind, thinks 12 Manafort NY charges face serious double jeopardy issue

Earlier Jed Shugerman tweeted that he did not think there were double jeopardy issues in today's Manafort indictment in New York. However, he has changed his mind. Read his full thread starting here:

CORRECTION THREAD: I think we have a NY double jeopardy problem re: Manafort.
Let me first note that I have just spent 2 hours on a train comparing today's new @manhattanda indictment to the old Mueller indictment.
Problem 1: Today's indictment is badly written and confusing...

What happened to today's Michael Flynn status update?

I thought there was a court hearing today scheduled at Noon for the Judge to comment on the status update regarding Michael Flynn? Did it happen?

I know last night Flynn's lawyers asked for a delay but the judge has to rule on that, right?

I know today is busy but I was hoping to hear about this case, too.

Anyone hear anything about it?

New York Attorney General Opens Investigation of Trump Projects

Thank goodness for the NY AG!

The New York attorney general’s office late on Monday issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank for records relating to the financing of four major Trump Organization projects and a failed effort to buy the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League in 2014, according to a person briefed on the subpoenas.
...
The new inquiry, by the office of the attorney general, Letitia James, was prompted by the congressional testimony last month of Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, the person briefed on the subpoenas said. Mr. Cohen testified under oath that Mr. Trump had inflated his assets in financial statements, and Mr. Cohen provided copies of statements he said had been submitted to Deutsche Bank.

Rep. Omar recorded her interview and has posted a segment of the audio

Here is a tweet from Representative Omar. IMHO, the media is purposefully trying to inflame the issue. If I had only listened to the audio, I don't even think I would have had a reaction to it.

Exhibit A of how reporters distort words.

I’m an Obama fan! I was saying how Trump is different from Obama, and why we should focus on policy not politics.

This is why I always tape my interviews. 😜

Two attorneys "close" to Giuliani contacted Cohen after the FBI raids

Is Rudy in trouble?

After the FBI raids, Michael Cohen was contacted by two New York attorneys who claimed to be close with Rudy Giuliani, ABC News reports. The contact was described as "an effort to keep him in the tent." Investigators are looking into this contact.

https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1103411200044552192

From the article:

The outreach came just as Cohen, who spent more than a decade advocating for Trump, was wrangling with the most consequential decision of his life; whether to remain in a joint defense agreement with the president and others, or to flip on the man to whom he had pledged immutable loyalty. The sources described the lawyers’ contact with Cohen as an effort to keep him in the tent.
...
At one point in the discussions, one of the attorneys sent Cohen a phone screenshot to prove they were in touch with Giuliani, the sources said.

Fox News knew about Stormy Daniels payments before election. Killed story.

New from me: Fox News HAD the story of Trump's hush money payoffs to Stormy Daniels BEFORE the election but killed it because the reporter said she was told, "Good reporting Kiddo, but Rupert Murdoch wants Donald Trump to win. So set it aside." Reporter sued, is bound by an NDA.

AOC responds to the accusation she threatened primaries

Again, didn’t threaten a primary.

I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning.

Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldn’t be given more power.

https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1101831550126170113

Remainder of thread:

“At [DHS immigrant detention] facility, children recounted being held down for forcible injections, which medical records show are powerful antipsychotics and sedatives.”

What I DID say was that I had to go back to my district & share the MTR vote to explain why a pro-ICE amendment was slipped into a gun safety law.

Maybe they’re mad bc I don’t believe pro-ICE expansion votes should be cast in the dark, and people deserve to know what happened.

#MomsDemand & #MarchForOurLives activists, who flew in from across the country, were watching from the gallery, crying + confused.

I ran up to them *during the vote* and explained that the gotcha amendment pinned gun safety against immigration advocacy. Its intent was to divide.

If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad.

ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody.

Having a D next to your name doesn’t make that right.

Mind you, the same small splinter group of Dems that tried to deny Pelosi the speakership, fund the wall during the shutdown when the public didn’t want it, & are now voting in surprise ICE amendments to gun safety legislation are being called the “moderate wing” of the party.

We can have ideological differences and that’s fine. But these tactics allow a small group to force the other 200+ members into actions that the majority disagree with. I don’t think that’s right, and said as much in a closed door meeting.

Judge Amy Jackson upset at Roger Stone about a book coming out! LOL

Despite being under a court-imposed gag order, Roger Stone apparently has a new book coming out. Awesome! And the judge in his case ain’t happy.

A new order from U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson asks Stone to explain why this wasn’t brought to her attention previously, and admonishes his lawyer over his previous reassurances to the court.
