Democrats Vow to Investigate “Web of Corruption” at DHS – Mother Jones

Democrats have denounced what they call the unprecedented corruption unleashed by the president and his family, whose personal wealth has skyrocketed since Trump retook office. In previously unimaginable ways, the Trumps have accepted money from people hoping to influence federal policy, including secretive investments by foreign interests in Trump family companies. 

The contracting scandals involving DHS, by contrast, involve allegations of fairly traditional graft that would have been understandable to "boss" William Tweed of Tammany Hall. NBC News' report last week included an allegation that an official at a firm seeking a subcontract under Salus Worldwide was pressured by someone at that company to hire "one of several consulting firms tied to Lewandowski."…

Unsealing Mueller’s Grand Jury Testimony & Other Yodel Mountain Madness (Opening Arguments podcast OA316)

Today’s Rapid Response Friday spends a lot of time high atop Yodel Mountain, pondering the latest developments in the Trump Administration’s efforts to keep the underlying grand jury materials (and redacted portions of the Mueller Report) from being disseminated to Congress. Oh, and we also check in on Trump’s taxes, emoluments, that crazy whistleblower case and so much more from this corrupt administration.

We begin, however, with few little self-congratulatory remarks and some further information about #Brexit that we covered in Episode 315.

Then, it’s time to tackle In re Application of the House Committee on the Judiciary regarding the unsealing of grand jury testimony. Learn how this argument interacts with McKeever v. Barr, which we last discussed in Episode 272.

After that, we pause briefly to discuss the latest ruling on emoluments from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as the latest apportionment lawsuit that may have been inspired by a previous episode. And we discuss Corey Lewandowski’s sideshow, and the four pending lawsuits involving Trump’s taxes, and so much more…

That gives us a brief amount of time to talk about the latest whistleblower case and what we do (and don’t) know.

Cory Lewandowski is selling face time with President Donald Trump and White House staffers -- Salon

While many political advisers formerly associated with the Trump-Pence campaign are now cashing in on their new connections, Donald Trump's first campaign manager may be among the most egregious offenders when it comes to shamelessly capitalizing on his relationship with the president — and he hasn't even formally registered as a lobbyist. ...

Donald Trump's Problems Are Much Deeper Than A Campaign Manager

Things are not going well for Donald Trump. On Monday, he fired his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski ran the campaign on a shoestring budget and a strategy that was largely built off and fueled by the candidate's say-whatever personality and brand. That worked great in a primary — not so much in a general election.

But Trump's problems are far deeper than an embattled campaign manager, who just four months ago was described as Trump's "alter ego."...
