Trump "an utterly disloyal ally," odious to European leaders
Suzanne Nossel, a former senior foreign-policy advisor, said, "Here, we have a controversy that directly implicated international relations and the legitimacy of U.S. diplomacy worldwide.
I think a lot of the world is holding their breath to see whether and how Trump can be taken out of office. If not, the realignments that are already in progress will be cemented, with the U.S. less trusted, less relied upon
and less capable of leading for the foreseeable future."Danielle Pletka, an expert on international relations at the American Enterprise Institute, added, Trump "earned" the trans-Atlantic hostility that he now faces in international
settings. "He has been an utterly disloyal ally, and he has been odious toward a whole series of European leaders," she said.

False claim: "You're not paying for those tariffs. China's paying for those tariffs," the president told an Ohio crowd. "Until such time as there is a deal, we will be taxing the hell out of China."
Economists and experts told NBC News this is false. Consumers purchasing foreign goods are the ones who picked up the tab. J.P. Morgan estimated the cost of these tariffs on average U.S. families was more than $1,000.

FactCheck: Whistleblower rules never require 1st-hand report
Pres. Trump tweeted a conspiracy theory suggesting the rules for whistleblowing had recently changed in order to accommodate the recent whistleblower complaint against him; specifically, so that someone with secondhand knowledge could now submit these
complaints. "WHO CHANGED THE LONG STANDING WHISTLEBLOWER RULES JUST BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF THE FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT? DRAIN THE SWAMP!" Trump tweeted.The theory was initially propagated by The Federalist website on Sep. 27. The article claims that
in "Aug. 2019, the intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings."
Facts First: This is false. The whistleblower submission form was revised in Aug. 2019, but
the revision did not change the rules on who can submit a whistleblower complaint. The inspector general of the intelligence community said that having firsthand knowledge of the event has never been required in order to submit a whistleblower complaint.

Against funding post office due to mail-in ballots
Trump frankly acknowledged that he's starving the Postal Service of money in order to make it harder to process an expected surge of mail-in ballots. Trump noted two funding provisions that Democrats are seeking in a relief package. Without the
additional money, he said, the Postal Service won't have the resources to handle a flood of ballots from voters who are seeking to avoid polling places during the coronavirus pandemic. (Aug. 13 AP & WSJ)Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said the Postal
Service is suspending operational changes, like removing mail processing equipment and collection boxes, until after the November election. The agency won't change retail hours at post offices across the country or close any mail-sorting facilities.
Overtime hours will continue to be approved as needed to process mail.
From a statement: "To avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, I am suspending these initiatives until after the election is concluded." (Aug. 18, PoliticalWire)

Coronavirus: Won't invoke oft-used Defense Production Act
The Defense Production Act has been invoked hundreds of times by Pres. Trump and his administration to ensure the procurement of vital equipment. Yet as governors plead with the president to use the law to force the production of ventilators and other
medical equipment to combat the coronavirus pandemic, he has treated it like a "break the glass" last resort, to be invoked only when all else fails. "You know, we're a country not based on nationalizing our business," Trump said. "Call a person over in
Venezuela, ask them how did nationalization of their businesses work out? Not too well."For the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has elected to rely on the volunteerism of the private sector to obtain additional personal protective equipment, virus test
kits and hospital equipment. He and his advisers have argued that using the act has been unnecessary, given the outpouring of support from large and small American companies that are retooling their factories to make masks, ventilators and gloves.

Q: Was that a mistake?
COMEY: Maybe. I felt like he's kidding himself if he thinks I just promised that I'm "amica nostra."

That there was a massive Russian effort underway to interfere with our election with three goals: to dirty up the American democracy so it's not a shining light for others around the world; to hurt Hillary Clinton, who Vladimir Putin personally hated;

Donald Trump Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner, former campaign chief Paul Manafort and campaign official Richard Gates, and Trump ally Roger Stone. Also named is the Russian Federation, the general staff of the Russian armed force, a

OpEd: 18-month investigation alleges $413M in tax fraud
Trump lashed out at The NY Times over an investigation alleging decades of fraudulent tax practices that increased the money Trump received from his parents. Trump did not specifically deny the conduct the Times described as "dubious tax schemes,"
including "instances of outright fraud." It said he and his siblings used these practices to boost the value of the money they got from their parents."The Failing New York Times did something I have never seen done before. They used the concept
of 'time value of money' in doing a very old, boring and often told hit piece on me." Trump tweeted.
Trump appeared to target the newspaper's reporting that the president actually received today's equivalent of $413 million from his father's real
estate holdings.
A Times spokeswoman defended the article : "This is a powerful piece of investigative journalism, the result of 18 months of inquiry and a review of over 100,000 pages of records. It is accurate and fair and we stand behind it."

After the NY Times published its report [that that the president actually received today's equivalent of $413 million from his father's real estate holdings via "dubious tax schemes" including "instances of outright fraud"], the New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance said it "is reviewing the allegations" and "vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation."Trump's father, Fred, loaned him at least $60.7 million, or $140 million in today's dollars, rather than
the $1 million loan Trump previously described on the campaign trail as "small," according to the Times.
Trump's lawyer denied any accusations of fraud and tax evasion, saying "the facts upon which The Times bases its allegations are extremely
inaccurate."
While Trump called the story "boring and often told," it went deeper into his family's tax practices and his claims about his wealth than any report previously has.

If Congress tries to impeach, I'll go to the Supreme Court
President Donald Trump said he would turn to the Supreme Court if the House of Representatives moves to impeach him, though it is unclear what role the nation's highest court could play if the president were to seek its help in such a situation. Trump
claimed in a tweet that special counsel Robert Mueller's report was written by a team biased against him with "unlimited money" for an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Still, he said, the report "didn't lay a glove on me."
"I DID NOTHING WRONG," Trump said. "If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court."
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 1993 that authority for impeachment trials resides in Congress and "nowhere else."
The power of impeachment belongs to Congress and proceedings must be launched in the House, according to the U.S. Constitution. If representatives vote to impeach, the case is tried in the Senate.

OpEd: 1920s law authorizes to get presidential tax returns
"We're fighting all the subpoenas," says the person who is supposed to be chief executive of the United States government. In other words, there is to be no congressional oversight of this administration: no questioning a former White House counsel
about the Mueller report. No presidential tax returns to the ways and means committee, even though a 1920s law specifically authorizes the committee to get them. Such a blanket edict fits a dictator of a banana republic, not the president of a
constitutional republic founded on separation of powers.If Congress cannot question the people who are making policy, or obtain critical documents, Congress cannot function as a coequal branch of government. If Congress cannot get information about
the executive branch, there is no longer any separation of powers, as sanctified in the US constitution. There is only one power--the power of the president to rule as he wishes. Which is what Donald Trump has sought all along.

Presidents before Trump have argued that complying with a particular subpoena for a particular person or document would infringe upon confidential deliberations within the executive branch. But no president before Trump has used "executive privilege" as
a blanket refusal to cooperate.Trump is treating Congress with contempt--just as he has treated other democratic institutions that have blocked him. Congress should invoke its inherent power under the constitution to hold any official who refuses a
congressional subpoena in contempt.
When President Richard Nixon tried to stop key aides from testifying in the Senate Watergate hearings, in 1973, Senator Sam Ervin, chairman of the Watergate select committee, threatened to jail anyone who refused
to appear.
When Nixon tried to block the release of incriminating recordings of his discussions with aides, the supreme court decided that a claim of executive privilege did not protect information pertinent to the investigation of potential crimes.

Analysis: Federal criminal law turns on corrupt intent
Corrupt Intent: Some have argued it is common for the United States to condition foreign aid on another government's agreement to take certain steps. But this is where the element of corrupt intent comes into play. A president might tell Mexico that the
U.S. would provide more foreign aid if Mexico would devote more resources to fighting internal corruption. One could call such an offer a quid pro quo. But in that case, the president is asking for actions that further U.S. national policy.
Demanding investigations for the president's own political benefit --and doing so in a way that actually harms U.S. national security by withholding important aid from an ally--provides the element of corrupt intent that
transforms this from routine foreign policy into a potential crime.

But legal experts say this criticism is based on a misinterpretation of what the Constitution says about impeachment and how much protection it gives the president. The answer: Not much.
