Before you ask the questions you need the answers and you have to get that from the others. That way you can tighten the net. No sense asking questions when they can be evaded.

Trump Legal Team: Social Media Giants 'State Actors' Censoring Americans
A lawyer for former President Donald Trump in his lawsuits against tech giants says Facebook, Twitter and others are “state actors” — and legally vulnerable under standards applied to governments.
Lawyer John Coale argues the government is essentially deputizing social media companies Google, Twitter and Facebook to censor Americans — and predicts the case will land in the lap of the Supreme Court, Fox News reported Monday.
"The basis for all of this case is that private companies cannot be empowered by the government via Congress, via [Section] 230," to censor people, Coale told the news outlet. "The Biden administration and members of Congress can't delegate what they cannot do themselves."
"This issue will in the end be decided in the Supreme Court, it's that important,” he said.
Coale has also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against Google, which owns YouTube, to force it to let Trump back on its platform.
“The case will present a clear set of facts that highlights how Big Tech is working with and being coerced by the Federal Government to censor and eliminate the voices of millions of Americans,” Pam Bondi of AFPI said in statement. “By taking this action against the Defendants, President Trump and the men and women of the class will restore hope and faith in the justice system.”
According to Fox News, Trump’s legal team is arguing the companies can be treated like the government because they are allegedly acting “based on pressure, encouragement or willfully in concert with the government.”

Trump Takes Aim at Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley
Former President Donald Trump, in an interview with Vanity Fair, jabs at former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, a possible contender for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2024.
''Well, every time she criticizes me, she uncriticizes me about 15 minutes later,'' Trump said. ''I guess she gets the base."
Haley, in an interview with Politico in February, had slammed Trump
Her comments came after the Capitol riot, but before impeachment proceedings.
''We need to acknowledge he let us down,'' she said. ''He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.
''I think he’s lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think he’s lost his social media, which meant the world to him. I mean, I think he’s lost the things that really could have kept him moving.'' She recalled watching on television the protesters’ rally on the morning of Jan 6.
''And then I hear the president get up there and go off on (then-Vice President Mike) Pence,'' she said. ''I literally was so triggered, I had to turn it off."
Trump told Vanity Fair that Pence may not do well if he decides to run for president in 2024 because of his role in certifying the presidential election results in 2020.
''Mike hurt himself very badly when he didn’t send the numbers back to the legislatures,'' Trump said.
Asked about primary challenges in 2024, Trump said: ''I don’t mind, I was challenged the last time too, by people that were, you know, I never thought they were effective.'' Trump added that his rivals owe him. ''You know, many of these people I was responsible for their success to a large extent.''

Trump Employees Testify Before New York Grand Jury
Bloomberg’s Tim O’Brien says the grand jury indictments of the Trump Organization’s head of security and a top financial official shows the prosecutors’ investigation is going “up and down the food chain.” He tells Lawrence O’Donnell it’s also a sign they could become potential witnesses against others in the Trump Organization, including Donald Trump.

Where's he gonna run to, Russia? That's about the only running Donald will do in 2022, he will use the cash he conned from his suckers to pay legal bills, cover business expenses and to primary republicans who don't do as he commands. He might yet command them to storm the courthouse in NY, where he will be put away for life and sued out of existence.

If Trump runs it will be from a NY maximum security prison cell, he could get the nomination from there though. Donald has a large armed terrorist following and the judge and jury will get hundreds of death threats, all will insure that Donald does max security state prison time. There's probably a better chance of him running to Russia than running for POTUS, provided Vlad would have him. Once he's indicted it will be too late to go to his Scottish golf course, then off to Moscow, a judge will own his ass until the trial. Moscow is his only way out and if there's no indictment he's free to go traveling, his trouble is he's got nowhere to go.

Trump Tower’s key tenants have fallen behind on rent and moved out. But Trump has one reliable customer: His own PAC.
NEW YORK — Inside Trump Tower, swank suit-maker Marcraft Clothes once rented the entire 18th floor, outfitting its offices with fireplaces, mahogany-lined closets and two bars for schmoozing customers.
But then Marcraft fell $664,000 behind on rent and went out of business last year — its assets having dwindled to $40.75 in a checking account and “1,200 damaged coats,” according to court filings.
One floor up, a business school once led by Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner was consumed by lawsuits, falling $198,000 behind on payments to Trump Tower by October 2020, according to court papers. And on the 21st and 22nd floors, the company that made Ivanka Trump shoes racked up $1.5 million in unpaid rent, according to a lawsuit that the Trump Organization filed this year.
But through all that — as Trump Tower has dealt with imploding tenants, political backlash and a broader, pandemic-related slump in Manhattan office leasing since last year — it has been able to count on one reliable, high-paying tenant: former president Donald Trump’s own political operation.
Starting in March, one of his committees, Make America Great Again PAC, paid $37,541.67 per month to rent office space on the 15th floor of Trump Tower — a space previously rented by his campaign — according to campaign-finance filings and a person familiar with the political action committee.
This may not be the most efficient use of donors’ money: The person familiar with Trump’s PAC said that its staffers do not regularly use the office space. Also, for several months, Trump’s PAC paid the Trump Organization $3,000 per month to rent a retail kiosk in the tower’s lobby — even though the lobby was closed.
Campaign-finance experts said the payments do not appear to be illegal. This kind of PAC has very few restrictions and no expiration date, so Trump is free to spend its money at his own properties as long as he wants.
But they said Trump is continuing a practice that was a hallmark of his presidency by exploiting loose regulations — and his own supporters’ trust — to convert political donations into private revenue for himself.
“He’s running a con,” said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign-finance expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. “Talking about political expenses — but, in reality, raising money for self-enrichment.”
The Trump Organization did not respond to questions. A spokeswoman for Trump’s political operation, Liz Harrington, defended the spending.
“We are paying market rate for leased office space used to help President Trump build a financial juggernaut to help elect America First conservatives and flip both the House and Senate to the Republicans in the midterm elections,” Harrington said.
Harrington said that the PAC had also paid for the lobby kiosk for several months, even though the lobby was closed, because it had inherited the kiosk from Trump’s 2020 campaign and “all of the campaign merchandise was still in the space.” Harrington said officials expected the lobby to reopen, but — when it remained closed — the PAC stopped paying. The last payment was made in early May.
Trump Tower, a 58-story glass tower on Fifth Avenue, served for years as Trump’s primary home, the headquarters of his business and a kind of physical avatar of his success. Its was the set for TV’s “The Apprentice,” and the backdrop for Trump’s announcement of his 2016 presidential campaign.
But, in its midsection, Trump Tower is something more prosaic: a Manhattan office building, with 12 floors available for lease. The Trump Organization’s headquarters occupies two other office floors.
The leased floors serve as part of the collateral for one of Trump’s biggest outstanding debts, a $100 million loan with the full amount due next year, according to data kept by the real estate analysis firm Trepp. Trump still owns his businesses, including this one, but says that his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr. manage them day-to-day.
To assess the financial health of Trump Tower — and the importance of the revenue it receives from Trump’s own PAC — The Washington Post examined filings with New York taxing authorities, as well as loan documents, campaign-finance records and lawsuits involving Trump Tower tenants.
In the years before he became president, Trump reported to New York City that the tower’s office spaces produced income of between $8 million and $11 million per year in rent. Those filings were obtained by The Post after a public-records request.
The most recent filing that the city provided to The Post covered 2017. The Post could not find detailed figures on rental income from the office spaces after that.
But it is clear that some of Trump’s customers have recently fallen into turmoil, and at times ended up behind on their rent.
