The inauguration raised way more money than they spent, so what happened to the rest of it?Republican Lobbyist Steered Foreign Money to Trump’s Inaugural Committee
A Republican lobbyist pleaded guilty on Friday to running an illegal foreign lobbying campaign, admitting in a plea agreement that he helped steer illicit foreign contributions to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee.
Sam Patten was charged with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, stemming from undisclosed work on behalf of a Ukrainian political party.
The charges were referred to the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian influence in the 2016 election.
The indictment was first reported by Bloomberg. Shortly after, it was reported that he would plead guilty.
Though charges were not brought by Mueller directly, Patten has agreed to cooperate with the special counsel’s investigation as part of his plea agreement.
Looks like Mueller is on the case.

Strange, when Bill Clinton raised massive amounts in illegal cash and obstructed justice to cover it up, you lied in his defense.Patten said he had solicited a U.S. citizen to serve as a “straw purchaser” for an unnamed foreigner to purchase four inauguration tickets at a cost of $50,000.
Now suddenly a minor amount of money is a huge scandal. Oh, that's right, it's not a Democrat who did it.
Very, very strange that the only crimes Mueller can find are those committed by Republicans.Looks like Mueller is on the case
He's part of the attempted coup against Trump.

What could possibly go wrong there?
As of tonight there are still 416 children separated from their parents.

Not licensed to hold children.Trump Administration To Defy Court Order On Child Detention
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration said on Thursday that it plans to withdraw from a federal court agreement that strictly limits the conditions under which authorities can detain migrant children, and proposed new rules that it said would enable it to detain minors during their immigration proceedings.
The administration is targeting the Flores Settlement Agreement, a 1997 federal consent decree that places significant curbs on how long and in what conditions the government can detain migrant children as it seeks to dissuade migrants from crossing the U.S. southern border.
Immigrants and their advocates are expected to mount legal challenges to the administration’s effort to exit the agreement, which has been interpreted over the years to set a 20-day limit on detaining children who entered the country illegally, and also requires facilities that house migrant children to be licensed by a state authority.
[.......]
The regulation proposed on Thursday would create a new federal licensing system, so authorities could hold children with their parents in detention centers that are not licensed by state authorities to hold children.
What could possibly go wrong there?
As of tonight there are still 416 children separated from their parents.
But hey! How about that GDP?

Trump Executives Face U.S. Campaign-Finance Probe
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether anyone in the Trump Organization violated campaign-finance laws, in a follow-up to their conviction last month of Michael Cohen, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The inquiry, not previously reported, shows that the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office doesn’t intend to stand down following the guilty plea from Trump’s longtime personal lawyer.
Manhattan prosecutors are working on a parallel track to U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is tasked with examining Russian interference in the presidential election and who is referring other matters as they arise to appropriate sections of the Justice Department.

Manafort Weighing Plea Deal to Avoid New Criminal Trial
Paul Manafort’s lawyers have talked to U.S. prosecutors about a possible guilty plea to avert a second criminal trial set to begin in Washington this month, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, was convicted of bank and tax fraud last month in a Virginia federal court.
He’s accused in Washington of financial crimes including conspiring to launder money, as well as acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Ukraine and obstructing justice.
The negotiations over a potential plea deal have centered on which charges Manafort might admit and the length of the sentence to be recommended by prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the person familiar with the matter said.
Manafort, 69, already faces as long as 10 years in prison under advisory sentencing guidelines in the Virginia case.

Maybe now Trump will stop insulting Native Americans by using the name of 'Pocahontas' to insult Elizabeth Warren.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
Ethnicity not a factor in Elizabeth Warren’s rise in law.
In the most exhaustive review undertaken of Elizabeth Warren’s professional history, the Boston Globe found clear evidence, in documents and interviews, that her claim to Native American ethnicity was never considered by the Harvard Law faculty, which voted resoundingly to hire her, or by those who hired her to four prior positions at other law schools.
At every step of her remarkable rise in the legal profession, the people responsible for hiring her saw her as a white woman.

A Series Of Suspicious Money Transfers Followed The Trump Tower Meeting
The June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower has become one of the most famous gatherings in American political history: a flashpoint for allegations of collusion, the subject of shifting explanations by the president and his son, countless hair-on-fire tweets, and boundless speculation by the press.
But secret documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News reveal a previously undisclosed aspect of the meeting: a complex web of financial transactions among some of the planners and participants who moved money from Russia and Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands, Bangkok, and a small office park in New Jersey.
The documents show Aras Agalarov, a billionaire real estate developer close to both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, at the center of this vast network and how he used accounts overseas to filter money to himself, his son, and at least two people who attended the Trump Tower meeting.
The records also offer new insight into the murky financial world inhabited by many of Trump’s associates, who use shell companies and secret bank accounts to quickly and quietly move money across the globe.
Now, four federal law enforcement officials told BuzzFeed News, investigators are focused on two bursts of transactions that bank examiners deemed suspicious: one a short time after the meeting and another immediately after the November 2016 presidential election.
The first set came just 11 days after the June 9 meeting, when an offshore company controlled by Agalarov wired more than $19.5 million to his account at a bank in New York.
The second flurry began shortly after Trump was elected.
The Agalarov family started sending what would amount to $1.2 million from their bank in Russia to an account in New Jersey controlled by the billionaire’s son, pop singer Emin Agalarov, and two of his friends.
The account had been virtually dormant since the summer of 2015, according to records reviewed by BuzzFeed News, and bankers found it strange that activity in Emin Agalarov’s checking account surged after Trump’s victory.
After the election, that New Jersey account sent money to a company controlled by Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze, a longtime business associate of the Agalarovs and their representative at the Trump Tower meeting. Kaveladze’s company, meanwhile, had long funded a music business set up by the person who first proposed the meeting to the Trump camp, Emin Agalarov’s brash British publicist, Rob Goldstone.
Scott Balber, an attorney representing the Agalarovs and Kaveladze, said their transactions were wholly above board.
“I’m actually perplexed why anybody is interested in this or why anybody in their right mind would treat this as suspicious,” he said.
“These are all transactions either between one of Mr. Agalarov’s accounts and another of Mr. Agalarov’s accounts or one of Mr. Agalarov’s accounts and an account in the name of one of his employees.”
Goldstone’s spokesperson, David Wilson, dismissed the notion that his client’s transactions were suspicious as “ridiculous.” Prosecutors have not charged the Agalarovs, Kaveladze, or Goldstone with any wrongdoing.
The transactions came to light after law enforcement officials instructed financial institutions in mid-2017 to go back through their records to look for suspicious behavior by people connected to the broader Trump-Russia investigation.
The bankers filed “suspicious activity reports” to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which in turn shared them with the FBI, the IRS, congressional committees investigating Russian interference, and members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.
Suspicious activity reports are not evidence of wrongdoing, but they can provide clues to investigators looking into possible money laundering, tax evasion, or other misconduct.
In the case of the Agalarovs and their associates, bankers raised red flags about the transactions but were unable to definitively say how the funds were used.
Federal prosecutors have used suspicious activity reports not only to investigate possible election interference and collusion, but also to charge people, such as Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, with financial and other white-collar crimes.
Manafort was convicted last month of bank and tax fraud, and Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his communications with Russia.
Over the past nine months, BuzzFeed News has reported on the financial behavior of Manafort, former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, accused foreign agent Maria Butina, GOP operative Peter W. Smith, and others.
In the case of the Agalarovs and their associates, the documents show funds moving quickly between accounts across the globe, often, bankers said, with no clear reason and with no clear purpose for how the money was supposed to be used.
By collecting such detailed banking records, US law enforcement officials are trying to figure out how Russia’s interference campaign was financed — but in doing so, they are also pulling back the curtain on an opaque financial system controlled by the world’s wealthiest people.

He has the authority to investigate "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation." I don't see any party label on that, and one of the most powerful Democrat lobbying firms in DC shut down overnight.
They were involved in one of the things Manafort was charged with; lobbying for foreign governments without registering as agents.
Why were they given immunity, but Manafort prosecuted for exactly what they did?
And why did you cut out my key sentence? Because it reveals what has been happening.

Lying hack.
Obama separated parents from children, just as Trump is, but he separated fewer because he illegally allowed millions into the country.
So they would vote illegally and out-vote native born Americans, as he was caught encouraging them to do.
That's the Democrat strategy; use immigration to out-vote native born Americans. That's why they're registering illegals to vote.
Trump and Sessions are actually enforcing federal law, which requires them to separate children from adults in order to keep the kids safe.
Not that you'll acknowledge that. No, it's just lie, smear, lie, smear, repeat.
