NYS

This is interesting in so many regards, but especially that the NY AG has sent a referral for a criminal case to the IRS. I guess someone has tax returns. https://t.co/5IcLau1m1E

Hundreds of thousands of Americans vow to protest across all 50 states if Trump fires Mueller.

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

😱

Rudy Giuliani earlier today told @NYDailyNews that the Mueller investigation “might get cleaned up” with presidential pardons.

In a text message just now, he said of whether Trump would pardon his associates: “No he will not do it, based on my advice and all our team."

LIEGATE

IG report exhonerates him

Now speaking with a gaggle of reporters, Trump falsely claims that the IG report "exonerates me."

The report is about the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation! pic.twitter.com/ZuAxSEEKw7

Dear media:

Please stop claiming that the IG report gives "fodder" to Trump's attacks on the Mueller probe.

There is no neutral way to make this claim. It effectively endorses bad-faith lies about the IG report's actual findings.

blaming Democrats for kidnapping children

LIES. Previous admins detained only unaccompanied children. First time crossers were generally sent back, not prosecuted, causing no need to separate families. Asylum seekers weren't prosecuted. Their stories were checked; kids were not taken away. THIS CRUELTY IS YOU. END IT. https://t.co/KFLEbMRDWs

Korean vets lie

Journalists! To review a little cognitive science: if you lead your story with a false statement, people remember that – even if you debunk it next.

Do not lead your story with a false statement.

iEric – with cover from Maggie Sunshine

Interesting that Maggie H was flying top cover for Eric back in Jan 2017 re; charitable donations. I don't think anyone said that some of the money raised actually went where it was supposed to. It was the evidence that significant amounts of $$$$ didn't, that she didn't report https://t.co/IelynBfi6C

that the NY Post

But wrong?

Uh-oh! Daily News lost its love of “Bam”

They are quoting themselves on the cover

.

Frisky business

It seems Stop and Frisk is once again the issue of this mayoral election. I remember when Occupy was given a favorable ruling by the court and Bloomberg went ahed and changed the judge/ got his way.

Once again, here’s the AM NY headline

and here’s NY Post celebrating in their gracious fashion .I hope New Yorkers will show up and vote on Tuesday!
