YOU MUST ADMIT.
It’s never dull in Trumpistan.
3/7: At 5:44 a.m., the Emperor is already
up and tweeting. We can assume he spent a restless night and slept alone in his
bedroom. In case you missed it, the First Lady cannot be amused today. Stormy
Daniels, the porn star paid $130,000 in hush money during the 2016 campaign, is
now suing Donald J. Trump. She says the non-disclosure agreement she signed
just before the election is actually invalid because Trump
(alias: “David Dennison” in the document) did not sign it.

Meanwhile, Gary Cohn, the Emperor’s top
economic advisor in the White House, is resigning. Considered by many to be one
of the few “grownups” in the building, Cohn apparently couldn’t stomach Trump’s
decision to impose steep tariffs on aluminum and steel.
In more bad news for Trump and his closest
circle, Sam Nunberg, who pretty much got the entire Trump campaign off the
ground in 2015, has agreed to testify before a Grand Jury on Friday. On Monday,
Nunberg, who had been subpoenaed as part of the Mueller investigation was
threatening to rip up the subpoena on national television. He wasn’t going to “waste
80 hours of his time” complying with a records request and said Mueller would be
crazy to arrest him. On sober second thought he decided he would cooperate. Also,
he would soon be entering rehab.
The bad news for Trump & Co.? Mueller is
seeking documents and electronic records, from November 1, 2015, till the
present, involving Nunberg and:
Stephen K. Bannon
Michael D. Cohen
Rick Gates
Hope Hicks
Corey Lewandowski
Paul Manafort
Carter Page
Keith Schiller
Roger Stone
And…..Donald J. Trump!
You can see why this might bother the Emperor
and his team. Gates has already pled guilty.
Manafort is under house arrest, awaiting trial. Hicks just quit her White
House post after being grilled for nine hours by Mueller’s investigators. Cohen
is in the news for arranging the payoff to the porn star and Schiller has admitted he was “on
guard” outside Trump’s hotel room in Moscow the night in 2013 when his boss was
offered the warm company of several prostitutes to share his bed.
If you missed that story because all you do
is binge on Fox News, and fume about Hillary’s emails, Schiller says nothing illicit
occurred. Around 2 a.m. he wandered off to his own room for a snooze.
And, I think we can all agree there is
nothing whatsoever in the Emperor’s past that would make you ever think he
would stoop so low. Prostitutes! No way. Trump is a man of impeccable morals.
Cough, cough.
Last but not least, George Nader, a Lebanese-American
gentleman is also cooperating with Mueller’s investigation. Nader often works
as an advisor to Crown Prince Mohammed and the United Arab Emirates. Normally,
he travels in rarified circles.
On January 17, however, he was stopped by F.B.I
agents after landing at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. They handed
Nader a subpoena, relieved him of his electronic devices and questioned him for
two hours. This meant he missed his next flight to Mar-a-Lago, where he had
hoped to help the Emperor celebrate the first year of his reign.
What did the F.B.I. want to know? And what is
Mueller now asking Nader about? One possibility is that Nader funneled money
from the U.A.E. into the Trump campaign. That would be flatly illegal.
Nader also attended a meeting in the Seychelles
Islands (population: 94,677) in January 2017. If you’re like me, you’re going
to have to look the islands up to find out where they are. But Nader found
them. So did Erik Prince, brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, founder
of Blackwater Security, and a man who was then serving as an informal advisor
to the Trump transition team. Who else flew to the islands just because it was
so convenient to meet there?
Kirill Dmitriev, representing Vladimir Putin!
You can probably guess where this is going.
Dmitriev managed a powerful Russian trust fund, sanctioned by President Obama.
According to The New York Times,
Nader has since been questioned repeatedly
about a variety of meetings, including at least one with Jared Kushner and Stephen
K. Bannon at the White House.
Mr. Prince has denied any secret deals might
have been involved in this meeting. Oh, no. He just happened to run into
Dmitriev and they had a friendly drink.
In the Seychelles.
Pure coincidence!
